Jack hasn't looked right so far this season....I wonder if he's playing injured.

I love how Washington puts pressure on the PK....why can't Buffalo play that way.

How about shooting at the net? Test the goalie vs. WIDE

Probably, but since Stall was hit....we're down a C

Feel like we've hardly seen Cozen's line lately....brilliant Ralph! Sitting the line that scored your last goal and had some life.

Where's Casey Nelson when you need him!!!

Is Dahlin awake?

Don't forget Cozens too, he may catch the disease too....not enough sanitizer in Buffalo to stop them from getting infected with the soft and complacent virus.

I'm sorry to say that I think he's looked this way ever since Krueger took charge.

Finally, some players with guts to crash the net.

The coaching staff has failed to get this team prepared. They came out playing not to lose vs. trying to win. It's almost a good thing there are no fans there, otherwise they might be hearing some boo's.

Now they're showing some signs of life.

I don't see Canada scoring a goal this game...USA came to play tonight.

Still waiting for Cozen's to up his game. Kind of disappointed with his intensity so far. Johnson is very quiet, but effective.

Good shift for Canada!

Yes, I believe you are correct. Funny thing is, so is Spencer Knight, the keeper for Team USA as well (Florida).

Generally agree, but some slightly different takes. Watched Quinn closely too and in general thought he had a stronger game against Finland, but so did most of the team. I wondered if he was moved off of Byfield's line late in the game. I actually thought Perfetti had a better game tonight than his previous one, but agree with you that Buffalo did the right thing to pass on him. One player I have grown to really like is Peyton Krebs....that kid is relentless!

Yes....and has really good wheels as well. Having a LH shot D with speed is something we can use more of.

It will be interesting to see how the Cozens vs. Zegras careers evolve. I was torn back in 2019 on which player to take when our pick was up. I liked both, but today I LOVE Cozen's overall game despite Zegras' high skill.

This! Keeping Hall here is not going to happen with KO's and Skinner's contracts. Unless GM KA can pull off a deal to trade KO's salary for another player on an expiring contract, but not likely. I am hopeful that we will want to hang on to Skinner based on a rebound season for him.

Many favorites, but I'll add another name....Tom Barrasso. Talented netminder plus brought an edge to his game that I felt was a nice addition to the team. I liked having a Sabres goalie who could take care of business by himself in his crease. I remember we used to call him "Billy" Barrasso....reminded me of a bigger and younger Billy Smith.

Hire a proven special teams asst. coach to fix the PP and PK.

Ugh...I fear Holtz may be this year's Joel Armia. We need more Center talent! Holtz is fine for a team already stocked with an abundance of playmaking talent, we need somebody who can carry a line and feed the likes of a Holtz-type player. Holtz write-up from Elite Prospects: "His shot is as good as it gets, and it makes him a threat to score from anywhere in the offensive zone. Holtz is a pure sniper as currently constructed, and he has the potential to be a first-line finisher with triggerman utility on the power play. He's a special, special talent, and if he can refine that talent, then there's no telling where it might take him." Back to 2011 and MyNHLDraft: "Joel Armia is a budding power forward already playing in the Finnish Elite League at 17 years old. 6'2, 185 lbs, Armia has an incredible shot and uses his size to his advantage on the cycle. Already drawing comparisons to Finnish great Teemu Selanne, Armia possesses a similar scoring touch, though not to the same degree. Although he underwhelmed during the World Junior Championship, the Finnish team collectively flamed out during the metal round. Though he is one of the top offensive players in the draft, Armia may not go straight to the NHL, as his defensive game needs rounding out. Armia projects to go in the from any where inside to top 10-the a pick in the mid teens."

Hope this is not the case, but have a feeling that both Rossi and Perfetti are gone before #8.

Unfortunately IMHO it is bust no matter what the position is. He will always be a boy trying to play in a man's league. He would do much better over in Europe for a career.
