  1. I know there aren’t a lot of great options but the Greenway top line experiment needs to end.
  2. They are playing to win. What worked (highlight reel offense) is now being stifled. They have to figure out how to beat the D. 😈
  3. I think this is a little obtuse
  4. A little dipsy do for Rou…..sek
  5. It definitely has hurt them immeasurably. Dahlin being dinged up isn’t helping either. Dropping Greenway & Stillman into this lineup didn’t suddenly tranform them into a hard to play against team. It means Tage, Dylan, Samuelsson, Power, Quinn, Peterka are either going to need to understand team hockey or replace them (well not the first 4). This team has a ton to learn. For once in my miserable life I agree with Paul Hamilton, who may have had his best segment on WGR yesterday. They are all trying to win games by themselves. When they get behind, they do it even more so. Granato had very pointed comments about this exact thing. He stated if 5 NHL players are committed to playing defense, one player has zero chance to make it through. Coddling time is over. It’s time for these guys to stop swinging their ***** and start playing hockey that wins. I don’t think effort has been the primary culprit. It’s learning how to beat NHL players whose sole job is stopping you. Good news. Great players usually figure this out in short order. So I’ll take this season as a learning curve. Go through the tough times. Figure out what players are doing to defend you. Understand how to beat them without doing it all yourself. Just as Paul stated, they will figure it out. They work hard, are smart and will do the things necessary. It sucks that we the fans have to endure this emotionally turbulent season but they’ll be better for it in the end. I'm ***** praying to the hockey gods this comes to fruition.
  6. Maybe. He’s going to need more time in the A. Super slight and doesn’t drive offense. I was less than thrilled when he was drafted. Right now I see Olofsson as his ceiling (🫤) and Nylander as his floor.
  7. They traded offense for fists
  8. I believe the over under on Kane goal total is 17
  9. Whoever this guy is
  10. How to lose a fan base step number 2: 2) Ensure you lose all your games at home in the most tragic depressing ways possible
  11. Me too. His body check led directly to a two on one goal. 🤷‍♂️
  12. Another soccer goal huh? That’s it I’m telling my guys to drop their sticks in the O zone.
  13. Nice music choice, “Wasted Years” Iron Maiden
  14. How to completely lose your fanbase is 10 easy steps: 1) Lose every game that matters
  15. Alex Tuch is a really good hockey player
  16. Power misjudged that lob pass worse than any player I’ve ever seen
  17. Next time I’m in a super good mood I’m just gonna watch the Sabres and let them suck the life outta me.
  18. What exactly do Allen and Diggs need to “patch up”? All I’ve read is internet sleuths trying to read into Cryptic Diggs tweets. I don’t know if anyone has realized it but Stefon is a bit out there. Exhibit A:
  19. I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry
