Huckleberry Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Didn't expect them to win much first 10 games, certainly seeing the opponents we are facing. But was hoping for some more clear offense and more confidence in the offensive zone, just not seeing that at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 That will teach me to go pee ... missed 2 goals for the bad guys. GO SABRES!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Johnson asleep at the switch Johnson has been good. There have been mistakes in front of him that have lead to the goals. On the 3rd goal, Gorges skated directly towards and at him when Johnson had the puck and was going to play it, rather than drifting to the side so Johnson would have an outlet. Directly led to the goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Well, they've fallen apart, and I think we're seeing the real Chad Johnson now. Still, I would like to see this team galvanize and score another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Dan needs to separate Kane and Eichel. They're the only two he hasn't yet it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 I don't see these goals as being Johnson's fault really at all. I guess he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt that the elite Ryan Miller always did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 They hung in for two periods based on talent alone against a very good team. If Bylsma was looking for wins for wins' sake, he'd juggle the lines more. I think we're seeing the coaches being patient and concerned a lot more with team and system development.

ubkev Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Playing a cup favorite whose team hardly changed from last year and everything is all doom and gloom already. Glad to see the board is in mid-season form already. Tampa should beat Buffalo 4-1. They are better. A lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) I don't see these goals as being Johnson's fault really at all. A couple of nasty deflections, not much he could do about those. 2 games in and have already lost interest. Am i the only one who is trying real hard to get the passion back but something is missing? I'm not that doom and gloom, I saw some improvement from last game. This will take time. Edited October 10, 2015 by Huckleberry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunomatic Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Johnson has been good. There have been mistakes in front of him that have lead to the goals. On the 3rd goal, Gorges skated directly towards and at him when Johnson had the puck and was going to play it, rather than drifting to the side so Johnson would have an outlet. Directly led to the goal. I agree he has been good but that particular goal I was talking about that came from the side he has to stop those. Wasn't ready for that shot. Oh well. Baby steps I guess with this team. 0 and 2 to start the year. Fire the coach,lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Ya, it's all a little over the top. Shots were close today, we outhit them and were better in the face-off dot. The play has improved from last year, and we were playing the Stanley Cup finalists from last year, today. In the words of Aaron Rodgers - Relax.
