What a dam shame... but NO SUPRISE. I saw Benson taking on their forward in front of UPL while everyone else was standing and watching. Smallest guy on the ice is the BRAVEST
What about # 11 Noeser absolutely nailing Zucker after his goal and "Captain" Dahlin doing absolutely nothing to Noeser. A great captain of a bunch of losers!
trade deadline is approaching. Take care of business Adams. Get rid of players who don't care. Fully, and I mean FULLY, gut the roster if necessary. 20+ transactions is acceptable to me.
This team doesn’t need a total overhaul, just a selective overhaul. COZENS AND QUINN should be ex SABRES , COZENS is horrific defensively , and adds nothing offensively ( TUCHS stats suffer do to COZENS lack of playing making ability) QUINN is physically weak , and his skating is not at a NHL level. As far as toughness , this is all on our incompetent GM . this team is screaming for a couple no nonsense players but our GM looks the other way . Guys like POWER , SAMUELSON, TUCK all 6.4” afraid of their own shadow. Not to react to a clear dirty hit is embarrassing . Not surprised on the team’s lack of response.
Tuch did drop the gloves earlier this year in response to a dirty hit. Think it was Brady Tkachuk as well. No positive on that though. Agree 1000% on all you said though.
Totally agree. It's disgraceful. To not respond in any way says everything you need to know about this team. The losing streak comes from the same place this does. Weakness. Softness. A lack of compete and passion. Adams leads the way on that.
Zucker signed here with a bloated contract, expecting to be dealt at the deadline. You don't expect him to do anything not risk injury and ruining his trade value to a true contender
So if someone grabs your girls ass you just don't respond because he's bigger than you. Not how it works. There are Alphas & there are Betas. Sabres are clearly Betas.
Grab a guy's jersey and yell a little or throw a punch or appear outraged. They skated around as if an offside was called. Not like their best player just got helicoptered while reaching for a loose puck.
False. Sabres signed scott the yar after the lucic miller incident. And had one if the most fun and toughest 4th lines in the league. The only time where getting blown out was fun because scott/ott/kaleta would just go run people
I think the hit was behind the play and no one saw who laid the hit. I can agree with both sides here. You want reaction from the players on the ice, go after somebody. If you know who laid the hit, even better. Maybe in this scenario, not knowing who it was, grab somebody, get in somebody's face, put a glove in someones face. I do understand Zuckers comments after the game. If you are not going to go after the culprit, the second best thing you can do is win, go for the win, hold the lead, w.e. the scenario calls for to win. This team is fragile and I think improving at winning has been their number one priority over the last months. I guess instincts should take over after something like that happens. But I think players on this team were more concerned about winning because that has been their focus. Improving their overall game as a team. The thing I agree with Joe on 100% no questions asked. This is a team that is not connected. I have said for the last several weeks this team does not have the heart to win. You'd hope they at least have the guts and heart to stick up for a team mate. Maybe that's not the case, which is extremely unfortunate.
This isn't the first time this season the linesmen expected the Sabres to respond to a bad hit and nothing....and this is the problem, since Lucic ran Miller, nothing has changed.
The Tage hit isn’t on par with the Miller hit from Lucic, but it is worrisome that no one even attempted to show support by grabbing someone! Then to get scored against on a 5 minute major PP with barely any shots should worry everyone about this teams heart right now.
I hope they buyout samuelsson, what a complete joke of an extension and assistant captain. This team is way too soft to even think about playoff-type hockey. They’ll get crushed if they ever luck into a playoff spot. What a disgrace
If I played for the Sabres I would demand a trade. No way I'm playing on a team that doesn't have my back. Absolutely pathetic. Biggest group of pansies in the league. Yeah we want the win, why? You are 100% out of the playoffs again. This might be the icing on the cake for me. If the game meant anything I might understand. 2 biggest guys on the ice didn't even skate towards him. Get them out for here your soft & we don't want you here.
@deegee9688 been on blades for 41 years and still going friend. Your correct on the 2nd part though. Can only take so much until you just don't care anymore.
This is what happens when you hire a gutless GM who puts together a team with a bunch of skilled players with no heart or soul. Trade Peyton Krebs for a guy who can hold his own when teammates are getting ran, trade Lafferty for the same.
I don't entirely mind them not fighting. I think it would have been another thing entirely if there hadn't been a match penalty, and Noesen had come back to the ice unchallenged, but giving the opportunity for the Refs to punish Noesen in my opinion is wise. I think fighting is only still in the game because more often than not the League and the refs fail to adequately punish dirty hits. Here the refs got it right. No need for fisticuffs.
Dennis Gilbert is a light heavyweight he definitely would have fought somebody if Lindy Ruff would have sent him out there it would have started a brawl and numerous Sabres would have got beat down.
Same thing the other night. Peterka takes a very very late hit from Zadorov behind the Boston net after the whistle. No response. Nothing…nadda. This style of leadership is like a cancer that is killing this organization. It started when Pegula purchased the team and has not left. Brutal! It’s total BS.
Saying, "We want the win" instead of stepping up for Tage screams to me this team has no confidence whatsoever that they can address that and still win a hockey game. They wanted the power play because they aren't good enough to win that game taking coincidental penalties. Which is even funnier because they still were -1 with that PP
Totally true on Samuelson. If Gilbert was out there it definitely would have been different. Point is like you’re making is someone should’ve done something.
How are we supposed to win a cup when we can’t respond after a star player is down because “there was confusion” this teams a joke. Like u said that’s hockey 101 defend the boys
And this is precisely why this style of Sabres team will n ever advance into the playoffs. Playoffs are a mans game. I guess they paid zero attention to Rayzors advance only hours ago.Incredibly disheartening.
We had so many hits and exchanges at the time, I’m glad they didn’t focus on retribution and instead kept on their defense to win the game. His shitty hit don’t cost us the win, and that’s key- he wanted to rattle the Sabers. For once I stand with Ruff on this call.
@@horaceball5418his lack of response to the hit in the ice and his lack of concern for a teammate and nonchalant attitude in his post game comments. They can’t trade him fast enough. He and the other three guys on the ice need to be benched.
It is what it is ,signs point that we are soft ,and they are a bunch of softies ,and the king of protection sits above and watches the Buffalo Softees,it's why we suck so what we won 3 in a row we also lost 14? In a row team isn't even close to being a playoff team ,what are we gonna do when you're Ina series in a playoff series where you have to fight every night
Avs had this issue against Vegas concussing Byram or Benn killing EJ or Burns taking out Mikko & Calvert. They won in 22 bc the toughness of Manson & MacDermid and Landy ragdolling Ekholm. Gotta have some togetherness to win.
I've been saying since Adams took over that the young Sabres need an enforcer to protect their stars and youngsters. Lindy must know this. Maybe now Adams will get off his fah-king keister and get one. Hate to say I told you so. So I'll just say....God I hate it when I'm right.
i get being mad about the hit but it's hockey. You can't say "he didnt need to throw a hit" hitting is part of the game. it was a dirty hit, definitely head contact but saying he didn't need to throw a hit just sounds soft.
Clifton & Lafferty 5 million in scratches. Sabres need to go 22-8 in last 30 to get to 91 pts and hope. 😅. Thank God Miller went to Rangers because that Petterson rumor for 11 million a yr. No thanks
yes this "team ' has a a lack of " hockeyteam sense " Quinn and Cousins both still look like they asleep on the ice but yes you run someone ....Hughes someone , not just take a pass .

This is the team the Adams built. He recruited kittens and we want them to be tigers.
Kittens are tougher than this sabres team

Why are we acting surprised over the lack of response? There's no secret this team is soft. Has been for years now. Just another example
Sabres have no meanness. No toughness
I want the Sabres to be feared again.
I don’t know how that’s gonna happen if ever.
Sign Playfair up
I was pissed!!
Where were Tage's teammates?
NO BALLS!
We need a Ryan Reeves type player in our team!

NJ #11 he played that way all game long. The boys have Kool-Aid running thou their veins.
Is this team soft or just don’t like each other
I feel bad for Sabre Fans
This organization is pure buffoonery
I’m two hours away and wanted to jump through the screen.

But he got lit up too.

This is also why if we EVER make the playoffs, will b bounced right off the rip.
List of players who absolutely suck that I would be happy to get rid of; all of them.
For real though, I was going to make an actual list but then I realized they all suck.
Tuch did take out a nj player as he was getting off the ice
May have a three in a row going, just one period from sucking again. Need to be more competitive thru the whole game!!
Classic sabres ... 1 out of 10 intensity every night.
Who was on the ice when Tage took the hit?
Samuelson, power, Kulick and Zucker. All four should be benched next game.
Power is 6’6 and plays like he’s 4’9
I thought Zuck would have done something so that’s surprising
Since when is it pronounced Noo-ee-sin?
Am so mad
Softest team in hockey. Here is another classic example. Buf-Puf.
Clip your fingernails, Joe
I was going to try and listen to your show but you ran your mouth off again Joe. Can’t you make your point in 5 minutes then move on

Sports radio necessitates the elaboration of minutiae to justify a 3 hour show.
If they lost by taking penalties people would be bitching about blowing another third period lead. Damned if they do damned if they don't.
