If this team's forwards were just Doan, Zucker and Benson cloned 4 times each, they'd be a much better team. They wouldn't have the kind of skill that Tage and co. bring, but they'd be much better.
I have a theory that the league deliberately told media partners to cut down on the penalty replays this season because it was making the refs look bad.
Follow up question, Rasmus: does "this bullshit" refer to a) poor play b) lackadaisical effort c) losing hockey games d) the buffalo sabres organization as a whole or e) all of the above?
Was it though? Like...we know that Power is soft, and it makes sense that Olofsson playing with a team with strong and unflinching leadership might play harder than he did here, no? This team is a black hole of effort and accountability, from the owner down.
Adams learned the wrong lesson from that team. He looked at it and said "we got so close but didn't make it because of defense" instead of "maybe if I had traded for a better goalie at any point in the season we would have won a couple more games"
He should tell Adams to trade him tomorrow. It's a win win for both sides, he can go to a team where he can contribute to winning something and Adams can get back an injury prone player whose unavailability he can use as an excuse for why the team isn't good.
He didn't even make up that lyric, he stole it from Busy Bee Starski! (Who was probably riffing on the beginning of Blue Moon by the Marcels, if I had to guess) youtu.be/LSjX8GQ4QJQ?...
embarrassed when his pants fall down at a big fancy function and then when he bends over to pull them up his underpants rip and he farts at the same time.
Eichel hated being here and poisoned the waters in that locker room. Everyone sees him in Vegas and says "ah what could have been" but he was never going to be that in Buffalo. Making him captain over Ryan O'Reilly was bad vibes x1000.
It also felt like the Bills had a legit shot to turn it all around if they just found the right QB (remember the 5 weeks Edwards played like he was a dude?). Even if the Sabres won a lottery and got a generational talent, they'd still be YEARS away from being good, if he didn't force himself out.
You literally could not kill a sports franchise harder if you were trying. You would mess up at some point and accidentally do something good. This is a special kind of incompetence.
There's like 15 of these games every year. But usually the goalie isn't even as good as Shesterkin, it's usually some team's 3rd string dude playing his first game in 6 years, so at least they're making an actual good player look good?
