Eichel's steal and goal were really nice. This team sucks. We are now in "see how long it takes to win 2 in a row" mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tage hurt, he looked lost anyway Thats 5 forwards down. Pretty bad for a team that has maybe 6 decent forwards on the roster to begin with. Crawford's career stats against us are incredible. Won every game with a great save % and GAA. I think he's now 11-0 against Buffalo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially frustrating that he cannot have an off game because he's one of only 3 impact forwards on the team. I'd imagine that's frustrating for him, too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz then we have absolutely nothing to cheer for. It’s mostly of his making, but I don’t envy the task at hand for JBott right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerreaultForever Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Wow! What amazing push back after their youngster leveled Sam. We really showed them. Nobody's going to take liberties with us now that's for sure. I knew Dach was going to be a good one. Exactly what we need. Pity he was gone by the time we drafted (not that JBot would have taken him but he was the guy I wanted last year's draft). Seeing him on their 4th line makes me wonder if we wouldn't be better with Cozens on our 4th line but what do I know. I'm sure there's a plan ☹️ We were talking last year about how Tage needed to bulk up and be a power forward. lol. Well that clearly isn't going to happen. Did Skinner miss the flight? Didn't notice him on the ice tonight. Man we suck. The Krueger house of cards has collapsed with the first breeze. We have 1 talented player (without the personality to be a captain) and 1 promising rookie D man who has lost his confidence but might still be something one day. I suppose Skinner MIGHT show up again if we were better, but the rest of this roster should be thrown in the dumpster and set fire too. So I guess it's time for a lottery draft thread...................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tondas Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 When BOGO comes back, I say put him, Risto, and Lazar on a line and let them run people. Takes care of having too many defencemen. Dress 8. Not like the forwards that are playing now are scoring. At least entertain us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradoxically, do we want someone with that kind of heat making those types of moves? If he stands pat I think it's pretty clear he's got a ton of leeway from ownership.

Randall Flagg Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Going to restate this since it's been confirmed with the conclusion of the game - Outside of Eichel, Reinhart, Skinner, and Olofsson, none of our other 8 forwards have contributed a goal in 8 of the last 9 games. And Victor only has one in that span. We're piling up ominous depth scoring stats the way we did as we free fell last season. I don't care much at all about the result tonight. It's one game in 82. We never win in Chicago. I do care that we faced a team that is more than happy to give others free rein over their slot, and typically appears shorthanded in their own zone regardless of the mediocrity of their opponent, and we instead made them look like peak St. Louis Blues. This goes hand in hand with the stats mentioned above. It has been a massive issue since Jason's first July here. There isn't an end in sight. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatorman0519 Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 RK is in over his head. JBot might have yet another team not break 80 points. This situation is as hopeless as it gets.
