Get the split tonight and we’re in business.

If we lose tonight too then we’re definitely behind the 8 ball.

Gotta make adjustments, defense needs to step up take the line away,, there gonna score goals, you can see that, especially when they mesh more. And I would infuse some speed into that 2nd line.

Who were his most common line mates?

Also he was last after 1

Have to think the Staal injury had something to do with that.

He still played more than 5 other forwards
Saying he “played on the 4th line” is moronic

We have 7 “good” forwards
Only 6 of them “fit” in the top6

Run every single Capitals player tonight.

The NHL has made it clear blindside hits are fair game.

If he would stop trying to stick handle and go to the net instead he would be alright.

The gap would have been much different had Staal not gotten hurt. You’re refusing to look into the data. You’re just looking at the data.

He also got PP time which helps as opposed to his two anchors or linemates. He’s one of the best 5 on 5 wingers in the league. Play him with better line mates.

He had 3 mins and 47 seconds in the first. There’s no excuse for that.

Also no suspension for Dowd

My point is that there’s all things we’d do differently

The Sabres have sucked for 10 years, and are continuously making questionable decisions.

They are on the verge of losing their best player they have ever had if this does not change.

the female doging is warranted.

I don’t disagree that Skinner should be moved up

it's worse then that

jack wants out
hall walks

dahlin looks more like zhitnik then the best d prospect in 20 years
skinner is going to become a worse contract then okposo based on usage, not talent

it's great that ralph got us hall for a year

but the coaching IMO is one of our biggest issues with this franchise and he is teaching the gm, who says advanced stats are going to play a big part in what we do and does the opposite of what the stats say to do

Meh.... i agree with some of that
But it’s the whiny crybaby attitude around here that’s ridiculous

It’s just pointlessly redundant
