I often wonder if Donnie would just love to throw KA under the bus. These guys should play harder with no coach on the bench but for the sheer competitiveness of a team sport.

I was ambivalent about R Johnson signing versus the draft pick we’d get if he didn’t. I was very wrong. He looks like a vet out there and a damn good one at that.

Matty got a Dick Tracy watch?

Well I am 70 yrs old so my memory may not be the best! However I remember Sam being more like Benson and Skinner as far as being around the net. Good stick and in the area, but not a chaos creator or a solid screen.

I remember Samson to be a lot like you described Tuch. Drive byes but not standing their ground hence putting Risto in front on ppps. Nothing against Sam put he didn’t have the strength or bulk to hold his own.

As the center goes, so goes Skinner. When Jack (was) and Tage (is) a threat, so is Skinner. His D and checking game took major steps forward but have regressed since that “top” line has taken giant steps backward. With Ralph I think he was judge-mental of the coaching - no idea other than discouragement what’s going on the last month or so.

I get radio blackouts for Sabre games so I stream the opposing team when I’m in my truck. You might enjoy that. Most opposing teams I’ve found to be quite objective and insightful.

Couple of porterhouses in the sous vide, can we skip the 3rd and go to a shootout?

Loved Ally in Short Circuit!

At this point my major rooting interest is for UPL. More so than the game itself

Consistently getting beat to the puck

Outstanding movement.

Sometime awhile back when SU’s FB offense had gone stale a fan drew up a play on a pizza box and held it up to the OC’s coaching box. Might need the same for our PP

Had a 2.5 hour drive from Syr to Buf and was listening to NHL on XM discussing the Columbus GM change. My wife asked me what happened to the Sabres and wish I had your post then. Completely nailed it.

Panthers have slowed down their hits. Tired from last night or no need?

Hope they watch a lot of tape of Lundell’s screen.

Verhaeghe had his own zip code out there

I don’t think we have the physical strength to go and STAY in front of the net against many teams. Meaning we can’t sustain chaos in front of the goalie. Watching the Blues game their D men were easily able to clear Sabres from the front.

Girgs going to a contender would give me a team to pull for and make the playoffs meaningful.

Ugly. That’ll keep ticket prices down

Them too😱

Preds seem immensely stronger

Dallas game was entertaining. This game is anything but. Looks like boys against men, again.

There’s no sample size of VO playing for a better team. We’ve had a number of players leave and improve their play under different systems. I’m thinking the league looks at him and sees a cannon shot and weak points they can improve. A third line with a couple of strong forwards who play D would be worth a shot.
