Sabres Can’t Get It Done Against Tampa – Postgame Thoughts & Mini Rant

Hi good evening all the boys don’t get it done they take the split at home they go three and three in the six-game home let’s look at it coming [Applause] up all right guys I’m going to get right into this cuz I’m watching the ners game and I’m stressing about that of course

And uh I didn’t know the game was 12:30 that’s why there was no pregame guys I had all the time in the world to make one I just at 12:30 no joke I was getting my computer ready and I said let me just check and in case it’s like a

5:00 game or something I see 12:30 I’m like you’re kidding me don’t ask me how I didn’t know I’m sure I checked it days ago I just completely eluded me I had no clue so I am stressing about the 49ers right now as you guys will be uh soon enough with the

Bills when they play the Chiefs so the 49ers uh this one of the teams I can’t stand is Green Bay I just can’t stand the Packers you know I guess the equivalent for you guys would be uh how much you might hate um uh the Patriots you know like it’s

Kind of the same thing with me with the Packers I just don’t like them there’s certain teams in my conference I can’t stand that’s one of them okay let’s uh look at this I got to get back to that game we’ll run this by the sabes should

Have should have they they were ripped off in this hom standad in my opinion they really were this they easily should have went 4- two but veteran teams find a way and that’s what happened today let’s look at it okay shots on goal Sabres dominate 2716 especially in the third 53% to 47

On the faceoff the Sabres power play again look lost I thought today I know it was only two but they look lost folks and you know this is the difference with with our season if our power play was going we’d probably be in a playoff spot

Right now we had 15 hits they had 16 uh Sabres had 11 blocks the lightning had 13 saber seven giveaways the lightning only had two we had four takeaways they had nine shots and goal per period 65 Sabers in the first 96 lightning in the second and the Sabers

15-2 in the third one of those being that empty neck goal 2716 final scoring Paul opens it up at the 614 Mark makes it one to nothing from Hegel relli and all of a sudden guys we’re down two to nothing on a short-handed goal on a boneheaded play by tuck I

Don’t know what tuck was thinking there tuck didn’t have a very good game he missed a breakaway he took a stupid penalty he did this giveaway to give this you know complete horrible uh giveaway at their line and I don’t know what happened there I just don’t and

They make it two to nothing at 706 on assisted Tyler Mt and then Dylan cousins uh gets on the board from PK and delene makes it uh 2 to one at the 1352 Mark of the second and the Sabers in the third can’t get the

Goal and danan makes it 3 to one with the empty neter at 1844 that’s your game so I was frustrated folks to say the least in this one I I was so mad um I I was just so frustrated watching this it was I don’t know I don’t know what to say

Except that it was uh a type of game that I just kept waiting for the sabes to tie it and they didn’t you know and what’s heartbreaking about this is the better team didn’t win this game the better team lost but the Sabers and their stupid first periods this year

There’s something like a minus 16 or something or 26 actually no it’s really bad Rob Ray was talking about this and the Sabres got to wake up in the first I don’t know why they they suck so bad in the first I don’t get it uh up looked

Very average in that period but I’m not blaming him at all okay not at all because he made some saves when he had to look you put a guy in a breakaway short-handed a veteran team like that how do you blame the goalie you can’t uh

And the Paul goal n you know I thought UPL wasn’t really tested and he still gave us a chance to win because the truth is the Sabers should have won this game and uh it it’s frustrating it’s more than frustrating because it’s two to one they’re hitting they hit what two

Goal PO today I think it was and they just can’t they don’t have the guts it feels like it just how it feels for me sometimes it it feels like they don’t have the guts to get this done and you know I blame uh grenado because the the hits look even okay but

As far as I was concerned Tamp were controlling the boards when they had to and we weren’t but in that third Tempa looked like an older tired team and the sabes were pretty much pressing on them and and you know when you can’t score it’s so frustrating you know like

The truth is I thought Tage looked invisible in this game pretty much like there’s just things that were frustrating about this game uh the uh the close of the second period got to me do you guys remember what we had the puck in their Zone there’s less than 10 seconds left we’re

Pressing and what do we do we don’t shoot at the net we make three passes instead and the clock runs out like I was so mad in the intermission so angry I was so mad I was already mad that I I didn’t even know what time the game was there was a side

Of me that wished I didn’t see it that’s how mad this game got me guys watching it I was really no game like the Vancouver game didn’t upset me like this one this game really upset me cuz the Sabers were the better team today you know except we did our usual wuss thing

Coming out in the first going like this oh here come the lightning like you know this is this is grenado okay this is Granado he doesn’t have you know you know guys watch out for the Islanders now they just hired Patrick gu in case you didn’t notice he they they Patrick W

Took over as coach today so the Islanders the rest of the year are going to be tough the rest of the year now they went and got a coach that’s going to get 100% out of the players a Patrick guaza type of guy you know he’s

Already crazy off the ice you know now he’s back coaching again so that that’s not good for us the Islanders getting Patrick W that’s a real smart move by the Islanders real smart move that’s going to work actually thank God the Islanders uh the Islanders that that uh

The Senators weren’t smart enough to do that because the Senators went and got Jack Martin that’s not going to work it’s not going to work it’s just sometimes you got to move on from a guy that coached you way back when you know I was so frustrated with Granado

And certain points of this game today guys I really was the aggression wasn’t there not enough the desperation I I seen in in the first two periods I seen more of a desperate team with Tampa Bay and the desperation lasted longer in the game than ours did ours was there in the

Third very clearly and in the end of the second but how what are you going to do when the team just kind of I there was one I wish I I I knew how to record these moments cuz I would show them to you what drove drove me crazy it was a a

Point in the second there was three Sabers guys on one lightning guy going to it on the boards and they all hold up and nobody hits them and the lightning kept the puck in the zone for about three more passes they didn’t score but they kept the puck in

The zone because there was no contact and this is the crap that drives me nuts as a fan cuz I know better I I just I’m too old not to know better I know that that’s wrong I don’t pretend it’s okay that when you got a guy lined up and you

Don’t take him out that there’s not a price to pay possibly cuz there almost was they kept the Pucket in the zone and they almost scored if I’m right I I can’t remember I was just so mad I was seeing red at this point like they they

Were choosing their hits okay in this game this is what bothered me whereas Tampa Bay were timing their hits there’s a difference sabes didn’t look as as physical as this team this team looked like they were having their way with us for about even when we made it two to one I

Think maybe you know the Sabres need to score to get confidence that’s another thing I don’t like they don’t have any conf confidence if they you know they play sometimes with no confidence at all and it drives me nuts anyway I don’t want to turn this

Into a rank guys but I was pissed off in this game I was really angry I wasn’t uh I wasn’t happy with the result I was frustrated when they got the empty net goal I was like good you guys want to be soft good you know

Good good for you I i’ I’ve had it with this granal system I I have I’ll be happy if they win next game of course but guys this thing about flow all year long it’s just going to end with a floating record we’re going to finish 500 that’s what’s going to happen

Here this is going to be a f and I’m telling you we’re going to have an 82o season the way it’s looking the way it’s shaping up they can’t get a winning streak going this year at all and when you have that much talent what’s the matter with Dylan cousins can somebody

Like smack him in the head and tell him he’s getting a lot of money now like what is going on with Dylan cousins he almost looks uninterested at certain points I know he’s like his confidence is low he’s you know he’s young guy he’s a kid still and he and he’s learning but

He’s been around long enough now that it’s not acceptable you’re making money now so you’ve got to play Dylan you got to play hard every single shift he looked like he was holding up on hits and everything today I I let me just check I want to see if he laid a hit

Today I can’t remember I’m still so frustrated with this game now I’m watching a Niner struggle God what a day of sports for me uh cousins zero hits something’s wrong with Dylan cousins in here okay I know he scored but there’s something going on with him guys there’s something wrong

His noodles not working right he only had two shots in the game he didn’t even look excited when he scored I I don’t know something’s wrong with Dylan cousins maybe he’s playing hurt we don’t know you know sometimes they won’t tell us this stuff uh who was I impressed with in the

Forwards let me check the numbers I wasn’t impressed with tuck he had three hits he led the forwards and hits but uh uh he drove me nuts today tuck he he may he just wasn’t playing smart hockey whatsoever uh the third period everything looked good delene kind of I

Found for me kind of took over that third this is a superstar that he is guys you know so uh I would uh once again guys I like the idea that we’re not just going to leave Levi sit on the bench we’re going to play him down in Rochester it’s a good

Idea and I say next game we go again with UPL UPL only let in two goals in this game go with him again keep playing the goalie that’s not letting in a ton of goals we do but the thing is a lot of goalies today wouldn’t have let in a ton

Of goals to what the amount of chances and shots they had come on SO Sabers let one slip out of their fingers again Lake Vancouver but this one hurts more for me all right I’m going to go back and suffer with the 49ers guys cuz right

Now I can’t even think straight I’m so wrapped up into that game if they lose to Green Bay I swear I’m just going to like shut my power and hide all right see you guys Soon

Well this one sucks, there is just no other way to put it..this for myself was the most frustrating game of the season to watch..let’s break it down while I still have my sanity..thanks for watching 😎
