Advanced stats folks say he has indeed been a black hole defensively. I hope you're not talking about twitter chad ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't afford to hope he fixes it at this point. I was hoping I was viewing this correctly, and hey, I'm just a fan, so I could be wrong, but honestly, I don't think so. It's just what I'm seeing is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FogBat Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Oh, the good old hockey game Is the best game you can name And the best game you can name Is the good old hockey game 99 Cup Finals, Game 6, Dallas at Buffalo Well, Brett Hull's skate was in the crease When he "scored" that No Goal They stole the Cup and took it down To that Big D Texas hole They had their fill with that parade While Sabres fans were filled with rage But that's ok, 'cause Dallas has No Stanley Cups since that day 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the limitations provided by the in season trade market but I am happy Jason is still reportedly trying hard to help out his team because they haven't given up on this season and he should be right there with them, while understanding their weaknesses and what they might need I hope so. Last I heard the focus was on moving Rodrigues and Bogosian. This team is showing that Botterill owes it to them to help them if he can. He shouldn't pass up the opportunity like previously if one presents itself. Edited January 17, 2020 by Thorny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to think, I had enough Margarita's to type actually type it out in the same post ?

Yeah in this sport it's particularly "any given night" but we are something like 18-9-1 against teams below us in the standings the last 2 seasons, so I am hopeful.

triumph_communes Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Lots of easy games ahead of us and half the other games are against the teams we will be battling for a wild card (multiple CLB, Philly, Canes games). One west coast trip, but no team is too much. They just have to show up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly... it would appear most of those wins were during an early winning streak last year and then a hot start this year. The second half of this season, we need to beat both the bad teams and also the good teams that we still need to leapfrog.

Thorny Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Making the playoffs will be tough but even if they keep it as a realistic possibility into the end of March/beginning of April, that'd be a welcome change of pace.

Asplund could go back down to help ROC when Skinner and Olofsson return. Barring additional injuries. I am an Asplund fan, but he could use more seasoning and Lazar/Frolik play his role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottysabres Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 I won't be worth a ***** tomorrow at work, but it is more than worth it watching this team, this night. If this keeps up, I'll be buying tickets again come mid to late Feb. In the mean time, stay golden pony boys, stay golden...………. Night all.
