Watching that Sabres PP is painful. Telegraphing every pass or the rare shot. Slow as a one legged dog.

In a game where puck possession is important winning the draw to gain possession is pretty important. That being said once you lose possession winning that particular faceoff now doesn’t matter. Certainly in overtime where its basically playing keep away and teams sometimes keep possession the entire overtime or until they score. Basically what Swamp said

Cousins couldn’t win a draw tonight to save his life. Good thing it doesn’t matter.

That was a whole lot of nothing. Tokarskiov is a good story but it’d sure be nice to have Linus manning the pipes.

I knew what you meant. Everyone forgets the playoff battles year to year around here and has an unhealthy dislike for anything gritty. We don’t need tough guys but we do need our skilled guys to have some sandpaper. we might beat the Bruins this week with a display of skill and skill alone. I’m hopeful but I’d rather we beat them with skill and a healthy dose of good clean hits and snarl. Lucic on Miller is still a stain on this franchise. I guess we’ll see these next series of games what plays out.

It sure would be sweet if our playoff chances hinged on these three games. After the 3 game set we’ll know plenty about whats lacking in this lineup and just where we stand against teams like Bawston. S’pose Bostons playoff chances could come down to these 3 games. Must win.

The fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree

All I know is that win or lose the product is fun to watch. Under Ralph All we saw from Dahlin was a kid afraid to make mistakes. He’s only one example of that on a team where nobody could score. Ralphs system sucked ⚽️ ‘s. Now Rasmus is controlling play like we’ve rarely seen. Go down the list. Mitts, Tage, Dylan, Joki, Risto, Asplund, they’re all enjoying the game like Ralph never interrupted their careers. It does pass the eye test.

For some reason the league sees fit to protect players like Wilson.

Wow. Impressive win. Casey looking and playing like he’s arrived. Effort all over the ice by pretty much everyone. That was a fun game to watch. And I gotta say Granato should be in the conversation for sure. These guys were fragile children by the time Ralph was done with them and Granato has them believing in themselves and going after it.

1a and 1b

Taylor Hall takes no responsibility for his lack of game while a Buffalo Sabre. Too funny. Thats ok Taylor says coach Cassidy, we’ve got your back. Ok everyone come on in here. Group hug for Taylor. You get to play with good players now. apparently playing with Eichel doesn’t constitute playing with good players.

Missed the Ulmark siteation. What happened to Linus ?

Love Nick Folignos game and leadership abilities but we only ever get those guys when they’re way past it. As in washed up.

Missed this one out on the kayak but loved me some highlights when I got back in. Its great to see the youngsters get their feet wet and contribute. Are the Flyers this bad or what ?

I’d rather none of the actual coaching that Krugeur did stick with these guys. Hopefully they take what Granato has thrown at them and suck it up like sponges. That being said KA and whomever else is brought on board need to do their due diligence and hire from that pool. Maybe when all is said and done Granato wins the job on merit. Maybe he doesn’t but this team needs to start making sound decisions.

Honestly I’d be overjoyed at this point as well and I’m sure his team mates are happy for him. Some may be envious. Good luck mr. montour.

A first and the little fella becomes a 3rd. Do we devalue players that much or Kevin Adams something something...

Agreed. Other teams seem to get it done on the fly whereas we make a career of it.

If they don’t know the return they know as much as us. This need to be first with no tangible information is silly.

Bucket of pucks

If you aren’t using a league that every other team is using to draft prospects from then you are handcuffing your org. And putting yourself at a disadvantage.

I try not to listen to crap. honestly I had never heard of DMX until today. Apparently he was pretty good. Rip.

This 3rd has been painful. Is Samson playing injured or is it the trade deadline jitters ? that Casey goal in tight in the 2nd was a thing of beauty.
