Hi pal, 🙋‍♂️

Absolutely the least of the Sabres worries.

I kind of attribute his overall game: as being an inexperienced nhl player.

Do you watch the games and leave with the feeling it's his fault?

I do not. He is scoring goals.

Dumb soccer coach listen's to fan's and put's a guy that hasn't scored all season in his line. 1 assist skimmer guy.

Why saddle the captain with a guy that is having a terrible season?

- Boss34


I usually walk away thinking line combinations and coaching don't fix this team. Most of the teams in this division expose their softness glaringly, and VO is a part of that.

Victor Olofsson is like a running back that averages 3.2 yards per carry on 30 attempts per game , but scores 10 TD’s from the 1 yard line

I’m not going to celebrate the TD’s when his entire game outside of that is completely inefficient

Not gonna score on every shot, especially after a break.
Got pad and post. Should have had a had trick tonight.

How about sam and the lack of effort at the end of the game? Also, how do you spell caruba...

He gets smoked every game. 0 ice awareness for the cerebral center 😀😀😀

- Boss34


LOL, the only reason the puck hit the post is because Olofsson shot it directly into the goaltenders pad with a wide open net.

down a bunch of guys up front

do you play asplun or smith, 2 decent prospects playing in the ahl a few year?

do you play oglevie, a guy that could literally be a fixture on your 4th line if given a chance and kill penalties?


do you play quinn, pekar, or ruotsalainen, your better prospects?



nope career ahl'er fogarty

Ralph is a CCR fan...

Ralph also needs to stop being the coach and they need to find a real coach. One that won’t put okoposo out when the goalie is pulled.... that’d be a start.

We need to catch a GM when he's sleeping, like the Drury trade.

Remove Lafreniere and I think the Rangers would trade Mika and Kakko for Eichel in 3 seconds.

You don't?

Eichel is a star.

Getting the prime years for a very good price.

Add him to a team that has a veteran captain.

Eichel would explode

For me it's got to start with Byfield. And then they add from there.

I completely agree, but the only guy really playing well offensively isn't "the problem". Most star's are not tough guy's.

It's crazy that olofsson get's the grief.

Wonder if their is a flaw in the 5 x 5 coaching?

Seems like the whole team is having a problem 5 x 5.
That's just off the top of my head.
How bad are we?

Maybe that was their plan all along.

Sign Hall then trade him and Eichel for about 6 pieces.

REBUILD 6.0!

- kingcong39


I do and I think they the rangers would consider adding at least 2 picks.

Mike. Kakko and 2 or 3 (1sts)

Eichel is a generational talent

Look at recent trades of all-star players.

Very rarely is the return anything great.

You get first and 2nd Rd picks. That’s usually the ticket with a decent prospect or two.

Eichel is not even in the top 10 players in the league right now. Maybe not even in the top 15.
