Wow that was a pleasant surprise. Likely the new best game of the year. The boys played a perfect road game against a team that has played lights out lately. Nice job !

Its a tank but its subtle. If they weren’t tanking we’d be on our second coach. Also the goalie debacle. I like Donnie but Its still unclear to me how losing so much helps develop the kids. Also other teams develop the kids by winning.

Yup. I don’t agree with the team when they say winning doesn’t matter. Winning should always be the goal for the coach and the team even if your GM says otherwise, even if you are incapable due to ***** ownership and mismanagement. My post was more about team managements attitude towards the lack of importance of winning. I’m no wordsmith, i guess it fell flat.

Right now the only trophies KA and Meatballs are interested in are in the form of draft capital. When they have every first overall pick they can possibly hoard they’ll ask the team to start winning.

Glad I didn’t waste a beautiful sunny day on that garbage.

Just win. Hold a lead for a moment will ya. Go Sabres.

Lets be clear. This is Putins war, not the Russian people’s or its expats. Hasek is offside.

Tough loss. Dahlin is almost there. He looks set to start taking over games. His physical play is coming along and he dives into scrums without hesitation. Really excited to see the finished product.

God help us

Rotten to the core.

Avery is starved for relevance. Being off the radar was never his strength.

As much of a trainwreck as the Habs have been you can see in their play that winning is still important. The Sabres, not so much. Q meatballs presser. I’d like to ask him which team got the most development for their youngsters during this game. I doubt he’d acknowledge that the habs benefitted the most.

Intrigued by Peyton, casey, Dylan as a line. Should be a fun game. Go Sabres!

Think thats bad the leafs just traded futures for Carter Hutton.

The instant that official decided to let that one go the sabres fate was sealed. The make up call that followed was the pablum they feed the Sabres to placate them and quiet the outrage. You are within 20 or 30 feet of the play and watching it unfold. What in your past experience makes you decide not to call an infraction on that particular play ? Moron.

Outworked for much of the 3rd but especially the 5 minutes leading up to the winning goal. Hemmed in their end Much of the period. Not gonna win many tight games that way.

As you state in your last paragraph this type of crosscheck is common. Happens all over the ice but most commonly in front of the net. Dylans mistake was doing it near the boards. Anyone notice that once Dahlin added some snarl to his game he has more space ? Dylan will be afforded a little more space as well if he continues to play the game like he isn’t afraid.

There’s always curling. Hockey is a game of intimidation. Always has been and based on the amount the league ignores in the playoffs, it always will be. If the league allows guys like Nelson to get away with almost neutering a player then guys like Dylan have to settle scores.

His first period back went pretty good. He doesn’t appear to be shying away from contact but his head looks like a big ol tomato thats aboot to explode.

This team has been the patsy of the league what seems like forever. Keep drafting guys with Cozens skill set and passion for the game and we just might become respected throughout the league again. Because don’t fool yourself, biting back is the only way they’ll take notice that this team won’t roll over. Sure it was dirty but imo it was appropriate.

Enjoyed that one. A bit of the killer instinct at the end there by the boys but honestly when the isles tied it late I thought we were done. Dahlin continues to impress.

Let it go people. He’s gone. Done. Finito. Kapoot. Its over.

Not much separates these teams. We got some value out of Skinner. I enjoyed the game. 👍🏻

Underwhelmed by that Canadian team and those uni’s are terrible. Must have outsourced that to China.

Well. Alrighty then. That sucked.
