zow2 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Losing 3 in a row. Here we go...sliding back towards the bottom. They get more shots which is good but can't finish. If they are really different the Sabres will stem the losing and win the next 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be held accountable. Don't shirk from your responsibility here for the disappointing endings. Have you ever considered that wishing for more victories might be better than settling for less? They really need to start scoring 6 goals a game and giving up 0.

I have a simpler wish: When on offense get in front of the net. A perplexing issue that repeatedly rears up its ugly head is why so often in the first period of games this relatively young team skates like they are old arthritic? It was apparent in the Calgary and Ottawa games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, his risky behavior off ice is going to eventually jeopardize his career. I don't know of the smart person who was calling for his trade but at the time prior to his eventual trade he was one of the few goal scorers on an offensively impotent team. When can't be questioned is that getting rid of him was the right thing for the Sabres and him. He;s talented but undisciplined on and off the ice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gut is you got it set up to record on the old channel..wasn't it like 638 or something? there was a thread here where it was like ** sabres 638/other..somthing like that. the purpose of the code was to make sure it recorded the MSG feed first, if there was not one then record 220 or for you in caroilna whatever the hurricanes local is for when they played the Canes. And man, I am getting really frustrated with this new Genie interface. Cant get the Sabre games to record on right channel, recording go missing and have to go into history to find them, stops communication with the other DVRs connected and needs a reset like once a week...all common problems with the software, not the hardware. BTW, i am going to chat with them today..do you record on a genie or just regular DVR? It looks like my setup has the channel as 365 instead of 365-1. I don't know if that matters and I also have no clue how, if possible, to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I have some more time and beers in me, will call and talk to their technical folks. This Genie UI update is causing them headaches a plenty...plus just received a mail saying they offering a rebate on Sunday from last week as I guess that was a mess. I get it for free, so ain't gonna muddy the waters asking for $20 Yikes, remember when they had the best product and service ..not even all that long ago..

JohnC Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Don't tell K-9 that I said that Scandella is playing well. He will question my vision and sanity. When the Sabres have players around the opposing net good things happen. Ullmark was not challenged much but he was quietly efficient. There is such a calmness to his game. As the season advances I see him playing more. Maybe every other game. Bogo playing is a major addition not only to the defense but to the team. He is rugged and has a presence not only with the opposition but also with his own team. He taking down the Ottawa player hovering around the goalie into the boards behind the net was a thing to behold. He did it in such a way that would not garner a penalty. My only criticism of him is that his beard is getting scraggly. He needs to trim it. I have an aversion toward slovenly looking players. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 Post-Game Report: 11/3 vs. Ottawa Final Score 1st 2nd 3rd OT SO Final SOG Senators (5-6-2) 0 1 1 – – 2 29 Sabres (7-5-2) 3 4 2 – – 9 41 Game Summary Event Summary Top Notes The Sabres scored nine goals in a game for the first time since Jan 27, 2009 at Edmonton (10-2 win). The last time Buffalo scored nine goals in a home game was Jan. 18, 2008 vs. Atlanta (10-1 win). Jason Pominville’s three-point game (2+1) today has extended his point streak to seven games, which is tied for the eighth-longest active streak in the NHL. During his streak, Pominville has 13 points (7+6). The streak is Pominville’s longest streak since he posted points in seven straight from March 9 to 20, 2014. Since the streak began on Oct. 20, Pominville is tied with linemate Jeff Skinner (8+5) for the NHL lead in points. Eichel (1+11) ranks third in the league during that span. In his 10 games since Oct. 13, Skinner is tied for second in the NHL in goals (9) and points (16). This marks the best 10-game stretch of his career. Skinner’s nine goals so far this season tie him with Miroslav Satan in 1997-98 for the fourth-most goals in a Sabres player’s first 14 games with the team. The three players who have scored more goals through their first 14 career games with the franchise: Rick Vaive in 1988-89 (12), Richard Martin in 1971-72 (10) and Wilf Paiement in 1986-87 (10) Conor Sheary (0+2) recorded his 100th career point with his second assist of the game. With his two assists today, Sam Reinhart has five points (1+4) in his last four games against the Senators. Linus Ullmark made 27 saves to improve to 3-0-1 on the season with a .934 save percentage and a 2.00 goals-against average.

I'm staking my disreputable reputation on Peterman playing well and the Bills winning against the Bears. I'm also predicting that if that scenario plays out that Gunner is going to be furious and respond with a tirade and a ten page screed why Peterman should not be playing in the league. He will then put me on ignore and never respond to me again until Peterman plays poorly in another game whereupon he will be re-energized and revive his campaign against the fifth round backup to the backup qb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny you responded to my post because I deleted it as soon as I saw someone else had already made the joke over on TSW. Regarding Peterman, I certainly don't have any sense of impending doom, necessarily, but I don't hold out hope that he will play well, either. I'd like nothing more than to see the kid exorcise some demons though. I'll be rooting for him, regardless. And Scandella still blows chunks. He's a third pair D man at best. But Risto is no better than a second pair, either. Our D corp has a long way to go, imo. Other than Dahlin, I don't see a legit first pair NHL player at the position at present.
