Yeah, I bet watching 2 amateurs who can't box was great.

I’ll never understand how these kids in the nhl today let that poop slide. See it all the time in Pittsburgh. Literally Letang,Crosby and Malkin are the three most likely to stick up for someone on that team.

Crosby's the most likely to do something dirty. He certainly like tapping guy's balls with his stick...

I'd say consistency is his drawback.

Pretty much like every other Sabre and most nhl players.

I just dont understand: how the sabres let some guy check your captain awkwardly, and watch the guy stand over him. Taunting him.

Why doesnt that bother jack himself?
He just took it

The team and the leadership are relatively soft players.

Vesey is at 14/58 on the Leino scoreless scale

25%

- jcragcrumple



These are the typical Buffalo stats that keep the fans cheering from thanksgiving to Easter.

Vesey is a bad fit, hopefully we see a #packyourpoop tweet soon

We are soft and teams are using that against us. I am all for adding some pieces, but one or two players isn’t going to make the difference. The change needs to happen from within.

We need everyone on the team to commit to strength and conditioning. We have a lot of players that are not in great shape and that has to change. Too many times this year we are the team who looks tired. When you see some of our players in street clothes you can see they aren’t strong.

The word is out that when teams play against us physically, we fold. These players are professional athletes making a lot of money. The least that should be expected of them is to be in the best physical shape possible.

Enough with the kumbaya coaching style. Enough with the sports science philosophy of giving these players rest. We aren’t as well conditioned, we aren’t as strong, and we aren’t as tough as most other teams. We need to get these guys in the weight room, we need to skate them more, we need to toughen them up.

I always look at the Team xG Rates to see how the Sabres are doing. ( besides watching)

Let’s just say. They are trending in a terrible direction and gradually getting worse and worse

And they need to have a lot of shooting practice, looks like we have about 10 guy's that can't hit the net. And they need someone that can drop the gloves when needed, you can't allow a player to cheap shot your best player and then stand over him like that. I give Rhino credit but Cernak needs to answer for that. Until teams see they can't get away with the cheap stuff, they are gonna keep doing it because they no the Sabres won't do anything about it.

It's funny, sam just had 2 really great games, but I agree

I'd say the core is:

Eichel
Dahlin
Skinner
Cozens
Mitts

It's like watching figure skating out there. PUSSIES ON ICE. Sorry I am frustrated, fighting isn't in the sport that much anymore, but until the Sabres make teams understand that poop like that won't be tolerated and a price will be paid, every team we play is gonna try to intimidate us because they now the Sabres won't do anything about it

Anytime I've ever mentioned getting aggressive, tough hard nosed players here, he argues the fact.

Marron won the cup last year - tampa signs him
Reaves vs. Wilson the year before - in the cup.

To me: theres a correlation between winning and toughness. Having a tough guy, makes playing easier

He'll beat them on the pp and make them pay.
(Isnt that what the "soft" posters want to see?)

Losing is one thing, being a soft bunch of turds and losing is another thing. Its embarrassing.

The first person to stand up to Risto after his hit was feared tough guy Steven Stamkos.

It has nothing to do with toughness and size. Just have some damn heart and emotion.

Well it helps when you now you have Maroon, Cernak and a few others that will back you up if it's more than just face washing.

It's more of the "toughness" is then twisted to mean goonism, and then mocked as we need guys who can't skate nor shoot, but but can punch people in the face.

The season is officially over when people want face punchers over actual hockey players.

Only took until November this year. Bravo
