And I just watched Johansson's penalty again and it's a no brainer. He skated right into him. Nonsense. How the hell did you determine intent, refs should not have made the call.

We're an improved team but lacking scoring (second line ) not half this team is incompetent. We're playing maybe the best lineup in hockey last two games. Yes, they aren't equal with the better teams in the league but they are improved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 Olofsson's lack of even strength production has more to do with having the yips and not bearing down than being incapable of being a part of scoring chances 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a sore point for me. I don't come here for "rah rah, they're cheating for (insert name of opponent)" nonsense. Meanwhile, with a few brief interludes, I feel like I've been watching this game on a loop since 1994. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got to agree with you, a few pieces short still, but better and the younger guys still can improve more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) I really like Brandon Montour’s game. It’s hard to believe he’s lost 90 per cent of his games in a Buffalo Uni. Edited November 9, 2019 by dudacek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabremike Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 8 minutes ago, Randall Flagg said: Deserved or not, it's the story of Buffalo-Tampa since the tank - surprisingly effective ES hockey for our guys against theirs, that doesn't matter because special teams gets won in a big way by Tampa, usually by Buffalo penalties that draw a lot more skepticism than is typical from fans. Here's the thing with Tampa: Their entire gameplan relies on throwing picks in both zones, and it's never called. I was in the 300's when we played them last season and everyone around me was laughing about how ridiculously obvious it was. They would have a guy try and get the puck out of their zone and one of their guys would throw a blatant pick on our forechecker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
