Believer

We play like deer whenever we are under pressure… with a 2 goal lead… in OT… Where is the Pit Bull mentality??… Don’t doubt their desire… Don’t see their determination… They play scared… Messaging is part of it… and that’s on Adams, the Coaches, and the Team leaders…

Gotta be a pretty miserable locker room tonight… You’d think this group would be sick and tired of giving away wins… Too easy to blame just goaltending… It is more than that…

Unbelievable…

Tuch looked pissed… One point isn’t enough for him…

Played for the tie… Pathetic… Our OT record stinks…

Come on, Sabres… Try to score…

Sabres have learn you can’t stop attacking… You can’t play to protect a lead… Very disappointed in this period… Granato has to light a fire under them…

Don’t shoot enough…

Got outworked on that shift…

Now finish boys…

Sweet…

Good period… Tokarski 25 stops through 2 periods … Kept us in it…

Hard work gets it done… Great feed by Jankowski…

Agree 100%… As many as we can have on their roster…

Dahlin made some excellent passes to set up close-in scoring chances for teammates at around the 6 min mark of the 2nd period as well… He played a very impressive game… Made the most of his playing time… Happy for him… Excited to see what he brings back in the second half…

Geez… Sure looked real… Great gag design and execution by Zegras, then… All Star worthy…

Thought the Skills Challenge was fun…. Skating Speed, Shot Speed, several contests highlighting Shot Accuracy and poise under pressure… Good stuff… Zegras’ Blindfold 360 puck handling and shot in the Breakaway Challenge was amazing… Kid is special… Dahlin performed well… 4th of 9 in timed accuracy… and would have been higher but a whiff cost him a couple seconds… Nonplussed… He recovered immediately… Top of the leader board for a little bit… Wonderful experience for him… Expect he will come back to Buffalo full of confidence… and want to get back there next year… Looking forward to watching the all All Stars perform tomorrow…

I don’t think they can afford to “plan” to miss the playoffs next year… What would that be??… 12 years straight??… No… Don’t think Adams expects to miss the playoffs next year… He will make some moves, my bet… Bringing a few talented, high character vets from winning programs… May cost a couple of our talented kids and a couple future high draft picks… Expecting strategic movement… Adams will give Granato and the core some help…

Jury’s still out on Granato for me… but in all fairness… surprised we played at all given what a mess this road trip was between botched Covid tests, last minute roster replacements, injuries, travel problems, etc… Adams, coaching staff, and team leaders need to regroup before the 10th…

Wouldn’t be the first to fall victim to the LV temptations…

Not our best… Tough to play well with all the chaos on this road trip… Botched Covid tests… Jokiharju missed flight… Mittelstadt out again… Don’t play again until the 10th… Time to get organized… Goodnight all…

A shot… A goal…

Damn…

This is hard to watch…

Shoot the puck for gods sake…
