That one had Chad Johson written all over it through ......
-
Bad PP, huge stop by Ullmark!
-
Can't remember the last time we had a guy like that.
-
Nice shot, Risto!
-
Nice one, that's Eichels first helper :-)
-
I think Bylsma should have the boys taking weird point shots on Miller, all through the 2nd period.
-
Nice hit by McCabe.

GDT: Buffalo @ Pittsburgh, 7:00 pm edt, 10/29/2015

Certainly feels odd, to score a lot and have a load of talent, yet we suck in goal. Talk about things being upside down from what's been the standard here, the past 20 years. -

Am I the only one who was pretty annoyed with Foligno's lack of backchecking on the second Flyers goal? Keep skating and take the guy in the slot, instead he just coasts in, and Schenn has an easy-tap-in. -
New year, tons of firepower, still cant score.

How DARE you critisise Lindy's "Let's have all 5 guys drop below the hashmarks, and let the points remain uncontested meaning if you don't clear or freeze the puck within 20 seconds you're dead meat in the 2nd period"??? Sorry, couldn't resist, but basically the above statement pretty much describes what I'm most happy with - No more 60 minute Alamo hockey. :flirt: -
A single look at the shot chart last night, will prove you're absolutely right. You don't win many games scoring a single goal, unless your goalie is Dominik Hasek, and the year is 1998/1999. Simple as that. If these guys ever learn to score, this team will start winning. It'll come.

By all accounts, Buffalo is a worse team - We were even crap enough to lose the lottery. Twice. Whether we'll be better than the Oilers this season, definitely remains to be seen. I know I'm splitting hairs, but until this team actually wins more than a single game, I'd say the jury's still out, on who's the better team.
-
No doubt he could've been handled better, but you also have to factor in why, to the surprise of a lot of people, he was available for us to draft. Chances are others saw exactly what he's currently becoming - A highly touted bust. But yes, Darcy handled him like an amateur.
-
I must admit, as much as the tank sucked, I think the truly lowest point came *before* the tank. Can't point to a specific moment, but watching the team deliver the same cramped-up, lackluster performances night after night, management and coaching making the same mistakes year after year while nobody seemed accountable for anything, was the absolute low point for me. At least the tank said "We need to change".
-
Classic. Never got to play the coin-up though, only ever saw it once.
-
Yup, lineup's looking good, except for perhaps on D where we're a little thin. Also, the goaltending is a little suspect. I got a Be a Pro career going, and one thing I'm absolutely loving, is that Chad Johnson has seemingly outplayed Robin Lehner for the starting job, even if Lehner has a better overall. In recent years, the game would just pick a starter, and give the backup every 5th game, regardless of performance :-)

Quick NHL 16 Be a Pro look :
-
Same same, I'm on X1, I'm happy with it - As opposed to the X360, it's 100% silent, and it does what it's supposed to. Aso has Blu-Ray like the PS4.
-
10 years, damn..... I need a life badly. Or a cup! Just ONE DAMN CUP! :P
-
That's my bet. Saw him play with Team Canada at the worlds this year - Tyler Two can play.
-
No thanks, I'm done living in the past.
-
Don't really mind Grigo's gone. Not fair to him, but I saw way too much of Thomas Vanek these past years, to be able to appreciate another sub par skater on this team, unless maybe that skater is the second coming of Dave Andreychuck.

Is Nathan Paetsch available?

I Don't Know How Anyone Could Be upset With The Moves
Kristian replied to CallawaySabres's topic in The Aud Club
D needs help, the forwards look good. On paper, yet. -
Let me have a look once I start it up again, will post them here. Something very important to remember, is that EA's sliders have a mind of their own sometimes, and make absolutely no sense. For instance, this year, you have the pass reception ease slider. Well, pass reception ease... If I want the puck to be difficult to handle, and don't want players to be able to execute a perfect one-timer on every pass. I turn this down, right? The lower the slider, the lower the reception ease, right? Wrong. If you read the explanation on the slider it says "How difficult it is for players to receive and control a pass", or something to that effect. Meaning, if you turn this thing down, you end up with players who'll never have a hard pass bounce off the blade of their stick. In short, the exact opposite of what you really want. There's at least one or two more of these contradictory sliders, but I forget which they are. Need to see the menu again. Once you find those sliders however, it opens up a completely new game. I had my game going like the closest thing to real hockey I ever saw in an EA game, but like I said - The lack of features, kind of took something away in terms of longevity.
