Randall Flagg Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Whatever problems this roster might have, it's not a bad enough roster that we don't have a real chance tonight or any given night. So while my big picture view is skeptical, I'm excited and will have a lot of fun today! And if they're going to surprise the less optimistic fans, it starts tonight. It's very possible that Krueger combined with young guns taking a step and a defense reaching critical mass will lead to very good things very quickly. Either way, we might get blitzed tonight. Pittsburgh has a habit of going big either way early in the season - seems like I'm always either watching them win 6-0 or lose 7-1 in October. So, like any other individual game, let's not sweat this one if things don't go our way. It's going to take 15-20 games to get a real handle on what the team is. Also, remember that if Jack starts out slow in the goal scoring department, it's because we don't play PHI/TOR for a while. The guy was pacing for like 12 goals for about two months last year, and then five periods against those two teams turned it into a 30 goal pace. Likewise, Sobotka scored twice in one game last year, so a good performance or bad performance by anyone tonight doesn't cement anything ? Let's go Buffalo! Excited to watch: Olofsson with our two best passers Johansson with Skinner Dahlin, Miller Joki in NHL action 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 The pens defense is 28.5 on average and the Buffalo defense is 23.8 years old. That's quite a difference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) We've scored more than one goal on opening day only once in the last six tries. It was when we scored twice in a loss to Montreal 2 years ago. A total of six goals in the last six opening days. Let's get some goals tonight!!

I can simultaneously like some of what he has done and also lambaste him for the Sobotka move without feeling miserable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you kidding me? Were you living under a rock during the win streak last year? Even the most pessimistic amongst us want a bandwagon to jump on! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
