7+6=13

Of course we need a bigger sample to say we are - anything. What is true is we've played good for the 3 games and they weren't some crazy games that went our way. They are doing repeatable things.

The past can't be erased but who cares about that? All you try to do is move on. This team is helping. It possibly could also be exposing that it was more than just bad management. 5 starters and the best/among our best players are gone and we're better. Coincidence? Probably not. So it was both, IMO.

The possibility of trading for Eichel had Vancouver distracted.

You made my point better than I could. I'm not arguing, I just think it looked different and free tonight as an example vs hockey with Jack. Definitely not his fault, I don't think good hockey was taught the entire time he was here. He's just so damn good, he made it work. I'm just saying it's possible, he'd have to adjust to a "system" if you will. He's been brutally coached in Buffalo but he's also got issues IMO, beyond hating to lose. My only question is did his talent/ personna aid in the bad hockey.

I don't think it's all Jack's fault but I don't think he's learned good hockey. I don't know if it's because his influence or past coaches that created it but always felt like, when Jack's on the ice, get him the puck. What we saw tonight was a team game. I personally think that fits Sam much more than Jack. Not saying he can't, because he's so talented he absolutely could. It's a matter of will he be challenged by a coach to do it.

Of course, no need to think anything more about it. It's just damn good hockey tonight and we're supposed to be woefully under manned, incapable of playing like this. Tonight we are. Enjoy it!

We all are fully aware that this is only one game but this is shocking. Granato had them playing better last year but with what we seemingly lost with players, this is impressive.

5-1 and no prevent. They are trying to score again.

I hope you fans that are in town will buy some tickets to the next game. This effort deserves it.

No pout face "stars", everyone playing hard good hockey.

Not to jump the gun but coaching matters.

Whoa

Rifle

Let's go

No penalty? Ridiculous

Dahlin that's you baby. Shoot

Really liked the style of play in that period.

Beane never dealt anyone with a perceived below market. His claim to fame is getting more and then what eventually used that capital to get. Not even close to an Eichel situation, so absolutely no comparison can be drawn.

Adams in a shrewdly calculated way made sure he never took the lead. Stopped him at a tie.

You need a hobby

Exactly right and it's also why there's no clock working against KA.

It's absolutely on his side.

^ Eichel

KA forced him to change agents because he isn't budging. Possibly?

Yeah man, I never said you did. It's just a consistent nauseating sentiment on SS and I started responding to a specific poster
