Hi, but where did I complain about the secondary scoring?

Oh wait, that's right, I didn't.

Move along.

I get what you're saying, but complaining that the 4th line is putting up 12ish points less over the course of a season than the average is kind of ridiculous when the 2nd and 3rd lines are on pace for a much larger discrepancy overall.

I hope that makes sense. Those 12ish points aren't really impacting the season as much as not getting anywhere close to what you should be from lines 2 & 3.

i feel like we are getting more offense out of Risto, bogo and dahlin than we are out of our 2nd and 3rd lines

Agreed it’s getting frustrating if the other lines would contribute we might be up there in the standings with Tampa Bay imo

Hunwick had a rough game also. Yandle was the perfect villain last night. Straight up dominating game from him.

Yup

7 stages of no secondary scoring

Shock - I can't believe this is happening
Denial - Let me crunch the numbers again. Can't be this bad
Anger - Somebody not on the first line score a (frank)ing goal
Bargaining - Pat Kane for 3 Firsts, Jessie Pegula and the Rochester Americans
Depression - We're never going to score again
Testing - Call up a kid
Acceptance - This problem will have to wait until next off season


I'd say we're at step 6 out of 7

He was great all night. The first period I was thinking how Pysyk was playing amazing, then I realized they got Yandle and Pysyk isn't #3 there lol.

I’m really not a fan of it but I think you should move Casey to the wing on the top line and try Sam as the second line center
And have nylander with him

I see him asking for something insane, again.

If never met a buffalo sabre more full of himself then Samson reinfardt.

He's going to want more $ and sit out if he doesn't get his way.

Olofsson has 3 goals in his last 18 games. He's still finding his way down in Rochester.

I would have loved Bailey to be able to fill a top 6 role as he has good size and skates very well but his hands and Hockey IQ are nonexistent at the NHL level. I think he can fill a fourth line role for us but if his hands ever catch up to his feet he could become our Wayne Simmonds. Just don't see it happening.

I would love to see:

Skinner - Eichel - Thompson
Nylander - Sam - Mitts


but that will never happen.

It hurt him and took him quite a while to even look like he was able to shake it off.

I wondered if he was going to be able to finish, and I think it impacted the rest of his game.

I wonder If it hit the same "upper body" part, when Hutton missed time?

the problem is, you get far enough away, people except expats dont know buffalo food is good or why. There's a place in LA called "top round" its the closest thing you can get to beef on weck in California. People sh!t all over it on yelp for having "no flavor" that done even realize its a regional dish. They also dont understand the horseradish. People literally say you're better off going to Arby's.

Wow... Arby’s is gross

Okposo is a fine checking forward. Thompson is lost again, Mittelstadt needs a threat on his right side

I’m absolutely done with Sobotka at 3C
Move him to the wing, preferably on line4
Give E Rod a chance at 3C

Or put Sam at 2C and slide Mitts down
