If I paid money for tickets for this game, I'd ask Jack for a refund.

Is that a yellow spot on the ice?

He's still pretty new at this. Give him another 20 or 30 games and he might finally put Skinner back with Eichel.

Just one (decade)?

Nice shot Ullmark!

I don't think the training staff has to bother washing any of the uniforms tonight. Ulmark is the only one who broke a sweat tonight.

Liberty Mutual commercials are stupid!

I really want to kick JBOT's ass for the Montour trade.

I might be crazy, but right now I'd rather see Hutton playing.

Jesus, muliple caps going after Jack and a late and lame response by the others....would the Bills act this way?

Things are getting tense....not on the ice, but rather in my family room. Getting a lot of pressure to switch over to the NFC championship game.

Remember how lame the PP was last year? Nothing new under RK. How about putting Risto back in front of the net again? Do something!

Yup, Tage and Dahlin adding muscle doesn't matter when your mind still plays like a timid 90 lb. weakling. Kind of the opposite of Mike Peca, who played way above his punching weight.

Yup...3 rookie GM's, a rookie HC followed by another with minimal HC experience plus lack of seasoned hockey president.....I guess it's not a surprise.

Risto/McCabe both +2 tonight while having the most minutes as well. Dahlin -2 (worst on team) with only 10 minutes played tonight (not much in the 3rd). I don't think he's physically hurt, but rather mentally shot right now. RK has no solution to fix him.

Dahlin is -2 and has just over 10 minutes on ice this game....RK must have decided he's seen enough from #26 tonight.

We'll see, but I sure would not give him a generational player contract extension until he shows more energy and better play.

I'd settle for Dahlin's B game right now. Lately, I'd give him a D. RK has ruined him.

Sorry, but Dahlin is simply awful (again)!

What strengths? I can't come up with any except his so-called motivational speaking.

I hope you're right, but that means RK will have to be willing to swallow his pride and change some of his strategy (ex. special teams). I was also hoping they were right about Hutton....we'll see.

I don't see it happening as you say...terrible special teams (again), so-so goaltending, players on wrong lines and our two franchise players looking below standard. A bad start will quickly lead to finger pointing and bad vibes all around, which will fester and infect everybody.

Dahlin took a step backwards last year under RK's coaching as well.... this is not a new problem. He has regressed under RK's leadership.

Yup, too much pressure playing in front of Sabretooth
