terrible goaltending

11 shots 3 goals for the Ducks.

4 for 12. Stopping 2 out of 3 isn't good enough for you?

The Ducks are the team playing with urgency in the 3rd. Make some changes for gawds sake. Does Terry watch these games?

Re: 2023-2024 Buffalo Sabres gameday thread !!

I only caught the 3rd period. What a pathetic effort. Why would anyone spend the time and money to go watch this lazy team? They're just collecting paychecks. The $10 a month I pay for ESPN+ is to much.

Another thing. Dunleavy and Razor are the biggest excuse making homer announcers. Made me sick. Even laughing at their own dumb joke about adding 5 minutes to the clock with 2 seconds left. The jokes on them. It wouldn't have mattered. No accountability from anywhere. Everyone associated with the organization sucks.

They dominated the first period other than that one brutal defensive lapse. Of course, only one of the many scoring chances actually went in. It looked like they were gonna dominate for a while. Then they gave up that lousy goal and seemed defeated after that even though it was still 1-1.

Tage is starting to piss me off. Several times a game, he makes some insane move that a human that big simply shouldn’t be able to do, finds himself alone in front of the net, then can’t finish.

The problem with the Sabres s that they're not getting production from their "stars".

Soft, lazy hockey.

And boring to watch.

That, to me, is coaching.

Here’s something that’s been pissing me off:

Just to clarify, while I have been a hockey fan for all over 30 years, I have very little actual experience. I played a few years of organized roller hockey and a lot of neighborhood roller hockey in HS and some pickup ice hockey in college. That’s it.

Several times a game, the Sabres will screw up an odd man rush and I’ll say something about how they made too many passes. Then the color commentator will comment about how they are passing too much. And I don’t mean just Rob Ray. The same thing happened with the ABC, TBS and Capitals broadcasts.

So the fans see it. The commentators see it. So, do the coaches not see it? Are the players not listening to the coaches? Do they not have confidence in their personal ability to score so they are passing it off?

Any of those explanations are coaching problems.

100%. Granato only knows how to be their friend. He won't holler at them. It's not working.

They won't fire Granato. His extension kicks in next year and Pegula doesn't want to pay him to not coach.

Wonderful

I have a lot of hope that the next GM Kim hires will get it right.

Good news is Levi seems to be developing in Roch. Bad news is the Sabres will probably think it's wise to call him up soon.

If they do that, they're complete ****ing morons. Let Levi play and develop. We aren't making the playoffs with or without him. This team constantly hangs UPL out to dry. It'll destroy Levi's confidence to bring him up now.

Look, if it was my decision, he would have started this season in Roch and I would have obtained a back up over the past summer.
