BillsFan4 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 http://buffalonews.com/2018/03/02/inside-the-sabres-it-comes-down-to-a-matter-of-respect/ This is actually a really good article/point by John Vogl. Id quote the article, but it's pretty short and worth reading the whole thing. I do think he has a very good point, and I can see where what he's saying could be a very real issue with this team.

Is this a team thing or more broadly cultural? Authority in general is often painted as fundamentally incompetent and corrupt. Millenials have a sense of entitlement. NBA the players mostly dictate, don't they? Add in, Housley doesn't project a tough guy demeanor. I can see that it is a problem, but it's not evident what the solution is.

row_33 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Hope the Sabres get you a win, you are good fans in here. Too boring watching the Leafs as they are stuck in finishing 3rd in the division, and Lou and Babcock know how to drain the excitement out a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Toronto is in town and I can't even get $16 for my tickets. This is how far things have fallen, not just with Sabres fans but Leafs fans too. Edited March 5, 2018 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will flock back if they are good, but they will need to prove it first, much like 05-06. Feel for ya STH era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfanmiami(oh) Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Went to the games vs the Avs a couple weeks ago and got great lower level seats for under $20 a piece including stubhub fees. It’s pretty bad right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's evident is that the Sabres are not collectively fast enough to be an up and down skating team. When they create congestion in front of the net they are more likely to score. It appears that Reinhardt now understands that is where he is going to prosper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I just checked the score... I wonder if they are "stealth tanking"... Always good for a Laughs win, even with the TO fans down slumming in B-Lo. Makes for a cheery ole time when waiting to go home across the bridges. Thanks Sabres youth for giving an effort!

They're on an 11-10-2 stretch over the last couple months. It's baby steps, but it's growth. There's no intention to tank here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no intention to tank here. It's not unusual that teams that are out of the playoff hunt with meaningless games with respect to playoff implication do play better because there is less pressure. It's also not unusual that faltering teams are more likely to face backup goalies so the starter can get a rest. Teams playing lagging teams are more inclined to sit players with nagging injuries. That doesn't happen when teams are facing teams they are vying for either the playoffs or positioning. My point is that at this time of year don't fall into the trap of overrating what is being accomplished in the bottom feeding environment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
