His opinion of Sam is extremely low. Was trying to find out how low.

No one besides the top line and skinner have been scoring so whats your point?

When he is playing well (fast and applying pressure) he creates no matter where he is. Yes i realize it does not change the fact that he cant score

- ieetbred


I'm not absolving any of the non scoring guys.
Vesey sucks as well.
Erod got a raise. With that is higher expectations.

I'm disappointed in "playing well", but not scoring.
It's a result oriented game

He got paid to score, 2 assists is pretty sad

Wouldn't it be easier to just watch the goals and/or highlights on NHL.com or something?
- Powerslave


I suppose. But by the time they post those, someone would spoil it for me. Good point though...maybe i'll just start doing that and hope nobody spoils it for me.

Better yet, wake me up if and when we're good again.

And the beat goes on...and the tank goes on. My God, there was more hope with Phil Housley. Apparently, they have no talent on the team once they get their multimillion dollar contracts. Eichel can't even score in his home town. What a captain.

2 assists is sad by any standard

But he got paid to be a 3rd/4th line utility player

Yep and the mitts line was put on at the 6:00 mark of the 3rd and with 1 minute left in the 3rd even though they have 0 points in November. They actually had pressure on both shifts but I never felt they were going to actually score

I couldn’t believe that mitts didn’t shot on the 3 on 3 and he flubbed a pass to olofsson on I believe

Phil did have the team winning last November, but he was so awful. I don’t think Ralphie’s lost this team quite yet.

And Jack is not the right guy to target at this point. But, whatever. Hard to deny anyone their frustrations right now.

I’m not very high on Mitzy, but he’s been way worse than I was expecting. He doesn’t really do anything well.

Yep teams biggest problem is probably 60-75% of the players are worse than replacement value, more the forwards and goalies the defense

No wonder the Flames are talking trade.

The Flames have been out-scored 20-3 over the last 4+ games. 20-3! Something's gotta give.

Edit: Now, Flames lose in St. Louis...that's 6 in a row they've lost...and been outscored 23-5 in that time.

We have a pretty mediocre bottom 6.

He was a healthy scratch over at least 4 forwards making less $ than him.

2 points this year
2 goals in the first half last year.
2 million $

I feel bad for people who watch these games in real time. For a few years now, I've DVR'd Sabres and Bills games. I cannot watch these horrible sports teams in real time - I just can't waste my time and I can't fathom how most of you sit there in front of a TV watching this crap played live. The only thing I can think of that makes any sort of sense is that you enjoy chatting in here while watching it live. What I do is DVR the games, and then later in the night I fast-forward the entire game until I see a goal (or TD/sack/INT/fumble recovery). Instead of 3, 4 hours of wasted time, the games are over in 10 minutes. Most of the time we lose, so I'm not all pissy or annoyed like most of you are - I no longer feel the bad vibe after a wasted night of watching bad hockey, I no longer get angry like all of you do. I feel nothing after watching a fast-forwarded loss. The only way I'm ever watching a game live again is if we ever make the playoffs (not bloody likely). You all should do the same to keep your sanity.

I also feel sorry for season ticket holders and those of you who bought some sort of satellite TV package to watch this piece of crap team. What the hell were you thinking ?

I love it. 2x speed is perfect. Get a real sense of who is dominating by time in the zone. Regular speed when going on PP. 1:30 commercial breaks = 3 clicks of fast forward. 30 second breaks between regulation, OT and S/O. Lockport Outdoor Store owns that air time. Have to go off the grid and not check texts though. Can’t find out score of the game.

I hope the Sabres make a trade and enough of these 3rd or 4th line forwards. It's time to bring in a pillar for the building block. They are devoid of finishers.
