I actually saw the reply of the play in question. I personally chalked it up to “miscommunication—that’s what preseason is for.” Suffice to say, I’m optimistic to a flaw…

How did Georgiev look? Looks like he had some great saves but largely was hung out to dry?

Obligatory "you must be fun at parties"... 😛

So has Helenius made the team yet?!

Does any of this really matter? 😛 Can we get any decent return for Lyon if UPL can be a healthy backup for Georgiev's return to dominance?

IMO, the best possible scenario we can have is Georgiev finding his 2018-19 form. I'm curious, if he does—what do we do with everyone else?

Thank you, Jaro

I'll get in on that, too!

Might have something to do with why TP likes him. Common thread with McDermott...

I do not plan on dying

Maybe an unpopular take, but I think it was the right call. Kulich had his head down. Both players were going for the puck. Kulich was going right at him. Both players braced for impact, and Kulich got the worst of it.

You're absolutely correct, in principle. Unfortunately, I have far less confidence in any attempt TP would make to "look forward" that I would in him making Lindy part of upper management. And as much sense as what you say makes, I find that type of change incredibly unlikely. Lindy is actually here right now.

Lindy Ruff in a higher role would serve one purpose (and well, IMO): People around the league respect Lindy. He has relationships around the league. That in itself could be one big missing piece of our puzzle.

Oh wow, was that Tage doing something dumb with the puck at the blue line with no support behind him? Where have I seen this before?

If we win our games-in-hand, we're right back in the mix!

The least of this team's problems are the letters on anyone's sweater.

The GM has just not found the right pieces. We have talent, but we are missing key ingredients. You can point this back to the owner, but there's an outside chance the owner could luck out into a good GM (see Bills) who could solve our problems.

We've had teams that "lacked heart," but had enough talent to get into the playoffs. I'd take that over what we have now. "Heart" is the least of our current problems.

Or they play an unsustainable combination of early bursts of offense complemented by defensive breakdowns.

I just wanted to put this out there: I do not buy this “lack of heart” argument in any way/shape/form. It is a lazy argument/a cop-out. Heart is maybe what enables the 2nd-most-talented team to beat the most talented team to win a Stanley Cup. It’s not something that has anything to do with the Sabres’ problems. The Sabres problems are very empirically observable, not esoteric.

What a great looking power play! 😲

Or because they knew they had to beat Hasek Similarly, we were the hardest working team because all the players knew they were playing in front of the greatest goalie ever. That is pretty motivating.
