Tuch… Boom

Now finish.

Boom… Thompson

Dahlin… Boom…

JJ… Beautiful stick work… Boom

Nice shot pattern this period… Where has this been all season?

Boom… Girgenson

Hahaha… You’re right @Mango… They aren’t making the playoffs… (My attempt at dark humor failed miserably!)... Maybe we get an entertaining finish to the season.

And if they go on a tear and manage to win games but fail again to make the playoffs… it would only prove they like to play with their backs against the wall… and it is time to face the wall collectively… and move to the nearest corner for the next four months.

The Benson cameo was hilarious.

You’re right… Just read about growth plates closing by age 18…

Love this kid… Puck hound… Always seems to be around it… Fearless at the crease… Still growing… Needs to add a couple inches in height and 25-30 lbs of upper body muscle… Expect him to return next year with a better shot.

Don’t omit Samuelson from the trade conversation. He appears to be injury prone. Dahlin will be here, but think he needs to believe he will experience the playoffs next year and be in the annual Norris conversation while playing in Buffalo. Otherwise, he could acquire an Eicheltude simply based on the sheer losing he has experienced after five years here. His no trade clause doesn’t kick in until the ‘25-‘26 season. If he requested a trade, believe Adams would oblige reluctantly.

Respect your opinion @rickshaw but disagree… A coach can develop Power’s hockey IQ and position skills… Time can’t fix Power’s basic personality… Power avoids confrontation especially when confrontation is called for… ie in setting the tone early with a big hit or defending a teammate. He lacks the in-your-face gene of a top NHL D… Can’t train it… His strengths can be replaced. Trade him now for high value. Get pieces with grit and playoff experience we need.

I would trade or package Power in a skinny minute while he still has people fooled and retains high value.

Tuch is the best vet presence they can offer… and he is an overrated vet on every dimension, imo.

Anger?… Gloves on dancing is anger?… Stop it.

Tired of Cozen’s excuses… Stop asking players stupid questions, Hamilton.

Tired of Tuch’s excuses… Got a lot of balls doing this interview.

Don’t want to hear one Sabre postgame interview… Granato ought to demonstrate leadership and come out to apologize for his team.

Would bet Adams promoted the Granato extension knowing he would get an extension as well.

Every contract has a buyout provision. Eat the dough.

Granato and staff are gone, imo. I would do it tomorrow. Adams will do it after the season ends.

Refs trying to help us, but we can’t help ourselves. Hard to believe our PP has been so bad for so long.

Hits 20-8 Leafs… Wearing us down… Confounding our players just take it.
