I get people are blaming Ralph for this. But no matter how janky a system is, the players should be scoring more than they are. Jack is on pace for a 13 goal season. Most of his points feel like they have been secondary assists. if players play this poorly it is also on them.

Maybe we could rehire Ron Rolston to coach us?

Does covid protocol mean the players have tested positive?

I disagree. I think we have seen him try those moves and it just hasn't resulted in a goal yet

Has anyone looked at what he has done to the Pens? Atrocious trades and signings

What did he say?

Hutton is sub .900 after 5 games. We can't expect to routinely win games with this. I think Comrie probably has better stats now

We put three goals on Comrie. He wasn't the problem. We can't expect to score 5 goals every game to win. We need a goalie that won'r routinely allow 4 goals a game.

Three goals within the last 16 seconds for three periods

I wonder if playing super well but not getting rewarded early on in the season broke their psyche slightly? Feels like they have not been as dominate against weaker opposition

Teams probably lick their lips when Eichel line starts on the ice. They know they’ll get some nice offensive zone time

I’d rather be lucky than good...

The line I have noticed the most over the last 5 or so games is Skinner - Lazar - Sheahan. The line I have generally noticed the least is Eichel's. He has been decent on the power play but seems to spend most of his 5 on 5 shifts trapped in the defensive zone

Why? This is the best team he has been part of. Why tank your chance to make the playoffs? His alleged unhappiness is with the Sabres not making the playoffs. Why would he not want to make the playoffs for another year?

Jack has looked very pedestrian this season. Not a single dominant shift to my recollection.

I wouldn't mind trading for Bennet. He has a good energy and plays well in the playoffs. Can't imagine he would cost too much either. However, he has a habit of taking penalties, usually at the wrong time

Maybe Dahlin lights them up at practice? It certainly isn't unusual to use offensive D in a shootout. Look who won the game over us in the Washington shootout

Not a great game. But 3 points from not great play is good. And a win is a win.

Unreal how many posts we’ve got this year

Two goals in three games bounced in off Ulmark

Didn’t watch the game and tjay seems like the right call. But, if you’re going to play like crap then leaving with a point is pretty good.

There is no denying goaltending fails the eye-test as well as the stats test. Both have consistently let in 1-2 very soft goals a game and often fail to make that big save when you need it.

Nice - good to learn to close tight games

At least we can ice it and take pot shots at the empty net

Being outshot 10 - 2 this period
