We don't have a good goalie for years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Well we can play better defense. We probably can't get better goalkeeping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumph_communes Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) Buffalo had a bonafide 1C and the leagues best “2C” did nothing. Edmonton has a generational 1C and elite 1W and has done nothing. That 2C went on to become a 1C and win a cup. It’s about coaching and teamwork, not top end talent. Top end talent just let’s you get away with deficiencies in some areas. Edited November 24, 2021 by triumph_communes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really about both of those things, as well as depth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck yeah you need some studs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Just now, Hoss said: When did the Sabres ever have the league’s best 2C? Pretty sure he's referring to O'Reilly during Housley's 1st season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 ROR was never the league’s best 2C here, especially considering Jack wasn’t a bonafide 1C by that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
