Obviously he wasn't close enough. Soft.

The only reason we've gotten to watch as much playoff hockey for the last five years as we have is because of NBC. ESPN (the S supposedly stands for sports) gave up on hockey in the early 2000s to air GD poker tournaments. As a 25+ year employee, I have nothing bad to say about the company.

My takes- I am a huge Reinhart fan and have defended him forever, but him making that pass to Hall and then peeling off pisses me off to no end. That is hockey 101. Skate to the f'n net. If he did, that was a goal. What he did was a BS shinny play for an open skate superstar. I haven't been this angry about a play in a long time. Maybe PH was right. Cozens makes me happy. Dahlin was really bad. WTF?! Risto was good. Montour was good. Olofsson was a machine tonight. He made so many good plays. I continue to be impressed by him. Miller's got some wheels. WTF is wrong with Jack?,… that is all. Not a fan of these lines. Haven't been from the git. Ullmark deserved better.

Yeah. It wasn't JujuFish. It was you. He can watch. You can't.

Always watch.

Or, we win the next two and are tied with the Caps.

He better ***** play! When we win, I want no ***** excuses.

I wonder where our xG would be without Skinner, though. Man, he gets a lot of point blank chances. I can’t believe he hasn’t scored yet.

Lol! I did make a mistake. Sorry I was working and thought they scored 4. But in fairness, the game ended for me once Stall sh!t himself. And I still don’t care. If Hutton and Ullmark are out, we obviously need a goalie. If they aren’t, they are good enough to win with, if we could actually score at a pace that isn’t at or near the bottom of the league like it has been for eight ***** years.

That is most certainly true. But even if I include the first game, our goalies have given up an average of 2 goals a game. We should be better than 1-3 and the sole reason for that is our scoring.

I have not thought it was as big of an issue as gets played out on here, even last year. By a lot. In two of our three losses this year, we scored 1 goal. We lose and have lost because we just don't score enough. Period.

Hmmmm,... maybe I have covid.

Yes. By lazy family members begging for money.😀

You can laugh, but I mean it. I like my life. If I win a billion dollars, that life is over. If I win a million, I get to keep it,... it would just be a whole lot easier.

I was going to buy 1 MegaMillions and 1 Cash5, but I think i'll just buy 3 Cash5s instead. I'd rather win a million than a billion.

Score more.

Very cool. How has the ER been lately? Crowded?

Only in Buffalo can the goalies be the problem after a game in which the offense was shutout.

Yeah. I'm not sure we were the better team tonight. It was close, though. At least, closer than it has been when we completely sucked.

The problem is, we'd be better if he was playing.

That's fine. Other teams will drop off. I watched three Phlyers do to Dahlin what Risto did without getting a penalty. I'd rather witch Mittlestat than Staal. Unless something changes, I think he's going to retire midseason, and we won't miss him. I missed Tage. Dirty ***** hit by Provorov, but made completely legal by a stupid ass play by Montour. Jackass. I'm not enamored by Eichel, Reinhart, Hall. Even last night. If Eichel isn't scoring, nothing else matters. I'm ready for preseason to be over.

It was during the transitions from one side of the ice to the other. Our guy would have the puck at the center of the blue line, and just before everyone else finished shifting, leaving him isolated with two opposing players on either side of him and between every other player. Made me a little nervous every time.

I agree with all of this. I does seem to come with a little bit more risk, though. With only the one guy at the blue line, I see us giving up more shorthanded chances.

Oof. Hope he's okay.

Absolutely, but I can't find fault in them for trying. I would want a Buffalo player to do the same.
