Strangely enough, we won this game with only 1 goal/point coming from our top 5. This win came on the backs of our 2nd PP and Old Man Okposo

I’m scared of a goalie with “Hell” in his name lol

Penguins blew 4-0 lead to Detroit; thanks you stupid flightless birds

Those two really became besties in Rochester; it’s very wholesome

As I have mentioned in the past; RK’s system was effectively that only Eichel or Hall were allowed to skate into the offensive zone with puck control barring absurd circumstances. Everyone else was meant to exist and follow those two.

The article itself is worthless; it’s typical Canadian team drivel about how every player wants to go home.

I wouldn’t worry, Levi already seems happy to be a Sabre prospect since we literally traded for him and he’s befriended multiple prospects already. We are also close enough to Quebec that travel time isn’t bad. This is purely MTL writers looking for Price’s replacement

I love the part about Craig Anderson, doesn’t Comrie have a point as well?

I can promise you that it isn't laziness in the slightest; it's exhaustion.

While the turtling really sucked; it wasn't for a lack of effort. Jesus Dahlin and Muel played almost the final 3 min

Pucks exploding off the Sabres sticks. Need to simplify and stop it with the cutesy passes.

Botterill and Murray really weren't good at using their scouts were they?

What happened to Jason Demers? He was waived by EDM.

Their goalie made an incredible save on Cozens then a Coyote literally tackles Cozens like he was going after the president. Good to see the gritty plays in tight

This team certainly seems cursed on the Defense; Buffalo as a whole to be honest.

You live in the past way to much in regards to Reaves-type players. I’m not opposed to physical players but they need to have more purpose than hitting people. I understand your cynicism over Quinn and the like needing to learn to defend themselves but that is mostly true nowadays. You don’t need to fight people but you certainly need to be able to take a check and/or dish one out if you are going to last in the NHL. Reaves is literally the last of a dying breed and upon his retirement will be the deathknell of the professional “Grinder/Fighter” You need physicality but it needs to be out of players whom bring more than just that. You also need a general physicality out of all your players for playoff hockey is all varying degrees of physicality and skill.

Gutsy win; good job boys!

What’s up with Lundell this year? Sophomore slump?

Ah, I get it now; the chart is a bit misleading to your point though 🙂

Again, the WAR version of this chart makes it clearer how much injuries effected us.

Looks like a couple pages need deleting

Neither

I meant the young D, I’d imagine most of us thought Fitzgerald would be a fine 7th Dman and Bryson could handle a bottom pair role admirably. Instead Fitzgerald and Bryson have taken turns being the common denominator in most GAs at 5v5 I guess in a sense I’m not saying he didn’t fail as much as I’m unsure how he could succeeded in both adequately playing 6 NHL certain level defenseman and still garner the needed viewing of the 3 Dmen involved presently. You can count on injuries to occur but never to what extent. Plus hoping your starters get hurt so you can’t figure out more about you 7/8 Dmen just sounds wrong.

God I wish Mitts played up to his potential. Fun episode; loved Tuch and Cozens trying to hide in the cafeteria
