Greenway is a player who shows up big for the 1st 20 games by means of being healthy and physically bullying the smaller skilled players that are still rusty; disappears for the next 40 due to a number of reasons like injuries and then reappears for the last 20 when defensive play is of a premium and harder checking is more frequent. Reminds me a tad of Pominville’s 2nd stint here in how the middle 40 is nothing to celebrate but on the ends their a force.

My guess is it’s more to do with his previous injury in combination to some degree of Ruff changing some of his game.

No to ties ever again

They played fine

Vegas and Edmonton deciding to yank a player around for a week

Makes sense, most specifically in the case of Thompson who looked very effective last night including a great 200ft play but couldn't find the net on his shots. Thompson is a slow starter so I don't expect him to get rolling until late October which is when he tends to explode. It seems as if it takes him a handful of games to fully lock-on target with his howitzer

I had thought he was slightly overpaid but would save us a bit on the back end; sadly barring a turn around it looks like a complete failure. I can't remember exactly my original stance on it however.

Frankly he played and looked the part aside from his injuries. Then last year it seemed like he suddenly decided he wanted to be offensively competent and he spiraled rapidly.

I want the Muel from his 1st couple years back; what happened to our calm, steady, big dude?

Dahlin made 1 bad play

The fact they called that penalty on Zucker after he was pile drived earlier in the game as well as Lafferty was hit from behind is straight absurd. The fact that we can’t seem to get one ***** game where the opposing goalie doesn’t make at least 4 marquee saves is plain aggravating. We completely outplayed them nearly the entire game and yet their goalie stood on his head and the Sabres PP can’t score to save their lives.

Team is honestly cursed, outplay them the entire ***** game and yet we lose

Ugh, it was a perfect play and everything but the bloody clock screwed us. Come on clock guy, hesitate a bit

Good news for us, if he's the back up, he can't play games with numbers over UPL

Levi is the 2nd best goalie

You can't blame Adams for this part

***** the Ducks, I guess we could sign Tokarski?

No

Minor lower body injury he played through Friday Peterka concussion Aube Kubel is still unknown

Depends on the buyer

Puck looks like a bouncy ball

That was a ridiculous goalie interference call

Definitely better than last game, BS on the head hit. I give Tuch credit for immediately dropping his gloves; not a fighter in any way but did so anyway. We are certainly playing chippier since then

Absurd that wasn’t a major

Rough game but more importantly they need to bounce back with vengeance tomorrow and show us this was more of an aberration than something that will rear its head constantly. Some good things to note: We were throwing hits Players were going to the front of the net UPL looked good Most of the players seemed hesitant and the ice seemed to further exasperate the situation. Throw in there a huge Markstrom save and it makes a bit of sense; NAK's puck goes in and we may have seen a completely different team. It's 1 game, now go win Game 2
