I blame the fans. It's ham-handedĀ 

Sure is. And so, really, is selling out a prospects tournament in 2015 erupting after every goal from every late round pick. Cheers when there shouldn't be, boos when it doesn't make sense.Ā 

It's the cycle management signed up for with their incompetence.Ā

They are not mutually exclusiveĀ 

You get what I'm saying though, right? Like, I think sometimes the guys with no hands are at least good defensively because they process the game well, play good positionally, have good awareness. They aren't going to score, but they aren't going to kill you either. That's why they end up being coaches.

But this team has a bunch of players who not only cannot score, but also seem completely clueless about where they're supposed to be and when. That's chaos. Those are tank players.Ā

Jeesh, now Eichel can't even hit the net. That "can't finish" stink is rubbing off on him.

One of the reasons I wanted Eichel and Skinner on the same line while Olofsson was out is that each one of them could get the other off the schneid because they are both so dangerous.

Are the Columbus goalies really that good or is it the defensive play of the team?Ā Ā 
Ā 

TheirĀ goalies have some very impressive stats.Ā

Jack is now a little snake-bit in the goal column. 40 seemed a certainty a few weeks ago..

He can get 40+ if he keeps shooting. Ā

I think itā€™s a bit of both. Ā Definitely play a strong defensive game, but I think the goalies are good too.

Unfortunately, too many teams look at Buffalo as an opportunity to play their backup netminders.Ā  They know we have problems finishing!

The Buffalo Sabres' inability to finish scoring chances reminds me of this exchange from the 1966Ā Batman film:

Catwoman: Riddler, you fool!Ā  Penguin must have finished them (Batman and Robin) by now!

Riddler: Why, that stupid waddling mountebank of a bird!Ā  He couldn't finish a bag of popcorn!
