Blue & Gold Talk – Sabres Win In Calgary, Now What ?

Hi good evening all welcome to blue and gold talk the video on the channel That discusses random Sabers talk normally but today I do want to talk about last game I didn’t give you guys a postgame video so I’m going to talk about that also in this one not going to clip it

Out guys I’ll just give you my thoughts on the game you know uh I know we won the game guys but for me it looked like an uninspired Victory crucify me if I’m wrong if you want but I I just seen a very they looked uninspired it took excellent goal

Tending to keep us in which we got and the truth is Calgary is not exactly lighting it up right now they’re just not playing that good um yeah I I want to get to some other things so yeah I want to talk about that I I look our big guns just

Aren’t scoring this year it’s just not happening I I mean it’s a misleading score four to one two empty net goals and um what else can we do just we’re going to come home now for a five-game home stand guys and we’ve got to produce on this five-game home stand last home

Stand of the year we have one more home game after this but this is the last home stand really and and um I think they got to win all five just have a shot so let me get into that for a second okay Wednesday we have Ottawa

Friday we have New Jersey Saturday we have Toronto we flip on over to April on Tuesday after two-day break we got the capitals two-day break we got the Flyers so we’ll know by my daughter’s birthday which is April the 5th uh where this team is at and if that last four

Out of five on the road mean anything whatsoever we’re going to know by after this homestad mathematically that is right now it looks dim I get it but at the same time guys we’re just not done yet we’re just not done yet it’s you know if this team could have

Just I don’t know played like they’re capable this is a much better team on paper which is frustrating for us right it’s frustrating because we know this is a better team and it just feels like they’re not into it that’s how it’s felt for me all year guys I watched that win yesterday

And I was just shaking my head I didn’t see desperation I didn’t see any hard-hitting I’ll give you the hits let me check that something like 12 13 14 15 right around that ballpark it wasn’t much it was I was frustrated watching this game yesterday I got to admit I was

I wasn’t like like I wasn’t thrilled we won you know it wasn’t like that kind of feeling at all uh where the Sabers game there we go somewhere around 14 hits I’m guessing 15 Calgary at 15 hits also but guys you know when Huber do is the only guy that scores on

You you know like how hard was Calgary trying you know what I mean 15 hits they know their season’s done I figured they’d show up the play I guess they did you know but they they’re playing down the season they know it right now and we’re not playing an inspired team

That’s knocking on the door the playoffs so we should have won this going away I mean you know Thompson scored it looks good right empty Netter uh petka scored again that’s nice to see it’s nice to see him getting his act together I was happy Clifton got an empty net or

Too so yeah we got a few empty Nets back that we’ve given up as freebies to I don’t know how many teams this year it it it’s not as bad as I as I complain but I just hate empty net goals folks I can’t stand them when they’re not

Necessary I don’t like to give the opponent any kind of free you know so in this game I didn’t see any hard hitting I seen good goal tending I did I seen some good goal tending Again by Lucin in which is H nice to see I’ll get you his

Final numbers but he was uh he was kind of left out to dry a few times I felt you know watching this game I was like come on guys Jesus you know like the whole thing the if they believe that the season’s done yeah he’s 32 out of 33 97 sa

Percentage and he only let in a goal on the power play so you know it’s not like Lucan and I have I you know if it wasn’t for Lucan him where will be be this year and that was somebody I didn’t even see coming this year I didn’t see like

His game coming turning into what it turned into this year look he bounced right back from eight goals to one so you know he bounced right back I was happy for him that if there’s anybody as happy for yesterday it was Lucan cuz he’s uh he’s earned the right to be the

Starter on this team and it’s uh I we’ve got to see more from the boys and this if this is how they’re going to play coming home forget it forget it we’re going to get buried quick it’s not going to last guys it just won’t last now what

Else today I had another page open for a reason I was looking at a few things besides the schedule you know the schedule look it’s a five-game home stand we got to win it out that’s got to win it out thanks Donnie meatballs thanks for the you know making sure the boys are

Ready all year long it’s been a sad season guys honestly look right now we’re Five Points behind the red wings and we’ve been crap all year and the Red Wings have basically overachieved so think about that they went and spent money like crazy to do what they’re doing this year

You know guys not within their system they had to go out and get guys that wanted to play on Detroit or else where would the Red Wings be if Kane didn’t want to sign there and and the brink didn’t want to where would they be right now be

Probably worse not saying that those guys really make or break them it’s really aarin is the the heartbeat a team but still you I was looking at uh looking at stats this year okay and um I’m on hockey reference just so you guys know where I’m getting this

From I’m looking at the plus minus you know and um you know the consistent ones are Greenway petka and Krebs those are the guys that consistently do not go into the minus and um then you got a bunch of guys down below um I think the Jo experiment is is done with

Um Tage is a minus s this year and he hasn’t even hardly scored it’s like I can go on and on and on and Dalene didn’t exactly have the greatest year but he is one of those guys that has to take chances when he’s out there so he’s taking chances in the

Minus that’s his job it’s you know then cousins also if you would have told me cousins will be a minus four this year I never would have believed it before the year started so there’s things that we can break down and look at and we can

Talk about all day long I think what lacks in his team guys is just heart and desire really and a nutshell as a team I I see no heart I see no desire I see a lot of Underachievers out there and and Granado’s just not the

Right guy he’s just not the right guy to coach this team so how much you know how much do I have to suffer as a fan okay and continue on this path with this coach that I don’t think is ever going to get 100% out of these guys ever you

Need to get a coach in here for me guys that was a dead giveaway when I see the player say they love this guy and they really adore this guy as a coach that for me is a red flag that’s a red flag you need a coach

In here that’s not very liked and that I I guarantee he’ll be respected when his voice is behind you game time you’re going to tell me that Philadelphia likees slack when torella is in a bad mood I don’t think so if if the Flyers with that roster can

Do what they did this year what could our roster do these thoughts come in my head guys what could our roster have done this year if they were pushed really pushed not cradled and coddled I’m talking pushed to the brink where they they hate they just hate the coach some

Days not all the time but some days they just can’t stand the coach sometimes that works ask the Montreal Canadians in the 70s the greatest Dynasty I think we’ll ever see that Habs team in the 70s had zero weakness zero Edmonton had weakness defensively they didn’t

Have they had good goal tending not the greatest goal I know grety says Grant fear is the greatest of all time but Gretzky’s you know commentary isn’t always on it’s just not Grant fear was not the greatest goalie ever we know I still remember that goal that

Fear let in I think it was in overtime and and it went in and then he then he kicked out his foot after you remember that that was when munchel swept Us in 93 right so look I think we need to get a coach to know what we have I can’t judge these

Players till I see we got an excellent coach behind the bench it’s not fair to judge of these players they’re not held accountable so how are we supposed to know what we really have if they’re not given 100% night in night out how are we supposed to know what we really

Have you heard what middle stat was saying about being out there the practices are a lot different out there well maybe our practices slack I mean we were hearing before how great our practices were maybe it was a little played into that comment you know

I just get the feeling guys if we had one kickass coach behind the bench we’d have one hell of a team and that for me as a fan drives me crazy because I think it’s the obvious thing we need to bring a coach who’s going to teach this team

Night in night out you play hard and tough and physical no matter what I don’t care for up for nothing finish your checks finish your hits all of it if you don’t finish your checks what do you you know why you coming to the

Bench I’m be a you know they got to get a coach it’s really going to be hard on them and I don’t think this is the guy my goodness I keep saying it eh it it’s discouraging because I look and I see potential and a different voice Rick toet Vancouver remember how

They were all complaining that Buro got fired out there remember in comes Rick toet look at the Canucks this year different voice different system that team skates and hits that’s why they’re a Stanley Cup threat this year they are they are a Stanley Cup threat this year so if we could get a

Coach that comes in and teaches us that and the guy that’s out there right now for me will be Galan you bring in Gerard Galah the guy looks like he’s escaped from a mental Asylum he does guy looks crazy right and there’s a reason he he keeps

Getting fired in every job it’s like these organizations think he’s a loose cannon I think they push him out the door because we’re in the the soft era right everybody oh don’t you’re going to hurt his feelings it’s like give me a break bring in a hard ass this is what

We need on this team this team I I would love to see how the boys would react under a coach like that I remember that show I I’ve talked about it before on here I remember that show called Habs 24 okay and they showed him behind the scenes and man he just

Got in the Millionaire’s faces and threatened them just threatened them in Montreal and that year they went to the finals oh no no the semi-finals my bad they lost to the rangers 2014 season when the the Rangers lost to the Kings so if we had a guy like that I

Think that would and he was the assistant coach let’s remember that okay he was the assistant coach in Montreal when he was acting like that so imagine this guy’s the head coach you wouldn’t be able to get away with any crap with this guy okay this is who I wanted right

From the start guys when we when we got rid of Krueger who you know he’s all over the place that guy I mean he’s out there I don’t know doing consultations or something for like volleyball teams or something right now I don’t know what he’s doing he’s out there doing something right now

But we need to get a guy that takes it like this by and says no it’s my way or you’re out or you sit or you’re you’re in the Press Box one or the other get a guy like that in here this is what we need guys I’m telling you

Very uninspired win yesterday I’m happy they won thrilled they won I am I was I was like oh thank God you know they didn’t seem desperate enough is it just me guys really what do you think I didn’t see desperation yesterday I just seen a team floating then trying then floating then

Trying then floating it’s like the Jetson this team you know they float sometime this whole thing guys this whole thing is has become like a bad joke this year for us it really has as this season unfolds it just keeps getting worse and worse even when we win

It feels like we took a step back yesterday I felt like I in this trip I didn’t like this trip at all I mean we ran into a very cold Seattle Team when we beat them pretty easy you know we we ran into a cold Seattle Team it was nice to beat

Them though don’t get me wrong I love beating those guys but you know to get slaughtered in emont and not have some sort of a response yesterday physically in this game whatsoever if we’re going to come home guys and throw 15 12 hits a night well

Pack it in pack it in Sabers just forfeit the games give us all a break and we’ll all watch like uh something on TV you know there’s no point in US wasting our time if it’s going to continue like this we need we need a new

Coach guys I guess that’s what I’m I don’t even know I was going to mention the coaching thing so much but I I just know it I know we need a new coach we need a new voice we need we need a new aura behind that bench besides

Soft and nice okay need a guy that’s going to give you right in your ear why didn’t you finish that check why didn’t you finish that hit why didn’t why didn’t you finish it instead of Granado like you know how he just doesn’t pay attention to that

Whatsoever I knew this team would was doomed years ago I thought it would change though I really did think it would change this year bad on me guys bad on me I thought it would change this year I I just thought that Granada would have you know that they acquired some more physical

Guys with Johnson and Clifton I just thought they were going to like put more of a physical effort and and the truth is they have but not the regulars not the regulars there’s not enough hitting on this team I’m watching this game yesterday and I’m

Seeing us go after the puck and he puts out the stick I think it was Tage puts out the stick instead of taking the guy he has the guy lined up he can pass it you can legally crush him right in the boards and instead of going at him and

And committing to the hit he just tries to put a stick in front to block the pass in the saber Zone I see this kind of stuff guys it irritates me to no end it just does I’m old school I come from the time where hitting is a big part of the game

I can’t stand the idea that we think we can get away without playing hockey by playing ball hockey on the rink I don’t know maybe it’s just me guys it’s how I feel all right I ranted long enough guys done I’m going to leave

It there I had no idea I was going to bring this up I to talk about the game last night how I felt about it happy they won disappointed how they played in a nutshell that’s how I feel in a nutshell I I didn’t like how they played at all I

Think half the league would have beaten us yesterday easily the the the effort that we came out with that’s on the coach lack of hitting that’s on the coach I counted at least two three times they were caught with men on the ice that’s on the coach how many times did

We get caught on the ice I didn’t even mention that yet no how many times do we get caught out there like three at least right and I’m talking dead tired caught we’re lucky we played such a bad team yesterday in a nutshell guys so all

Right yes I’m done I’ll see you guys uh in the uh pregame in a few days but I’m going to try to put together um some um some videos tomorrow okay it’ll be be in the evening tomorrow night got a really busy day see you then thanks for listening take Care

Hey folks, in this video some recap of last game and some thoughts how we won it coming into the final stretch run..thanks for watching 😎
