Where’s the slash?

Ugly game

That has never been the deciding factor before. Plus he’s in the crease by 6 inches and doesn’t touch Binnington until he’s pushed back into him and even with that you see him trying to escape. There is zero reason to overturning the call on the ice for that.

High stick to Benson, no call

Absolutely asinine as Buffalo gets screwed as usual

Bad period, I can’t yell too much about the 3rd goal only because it was an extremely unlucky bounce more than any bad play specifically.

More than likely; at very least in regard to trades and pro scouting. I will credit them with rather solid drafts though.

AHL is only possible if we were the sole team to make a claim; otherwise I'd guess Levi goes down or we carry 3 goalies with Muel on IR presumedly.

Depending on the price, certainly.

I have no interest in a block buster trade to be honest; we have little success with trades these days and I just don't feel like watching another player leaving Buffalo to win a Cup

That's rather sad, RIP Claude

Can't blame Dan for that one; it should of been blown dead when the ref raised his arm and it was in front of two officials and Rob so his attention was split at the time.

Luuuuuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkkk

You can make mistakes as long as you can clean them up Byram with the clutch clear to bail his own idiocy out

We got jobbed a bit, took the pedal off the gas, and got a tad Alamo-y Secured a point now get the second

Power needs to see the bench for this period, he’s been making mistakes left and right.

Frankly like a few of the games where we've dominated in expected goals for/against and yet looked bad I think the same could be said for tonight. They got some luck against the Rangers but certainly created a lot of it with hard work.

That and we owned the puck in the 2nd and merely rented it to the Rangers and refs at times.

Open your eyes

Give us the fire you did against Ottawa for 60min and I’ll be happy with any result.

I've said that for 2 years now 🙂 He's a great #7, he can't be a game in-game out guy but in spurts he's a solid and smart dman who can play either side and even on your 2nd pairing in a pinch.

Very happy with the effort, even Cozens looked more alive. Quinn still looks lost in the wilderness though 90% of the time

Carrier was our offer to Vegas to protect Ullmark Deslauries wasn't good or useful I do miss Foligno however

His follow through was over the line meaning its typically considered fine. How is it that last year all we wanted were for them to crash the net and to help get goals; now they do actually crash the net and it still doesn't go in. Jack Quinn's utter implosion over the offseason needs a 30 for 30; I can't say I have ever seen a player go from competent or better winger with flare and talent along with defensive mindedness to being borderline braindead and quite literally handling the puck like a grenade. Do we need to demand Granato call up Quinn and pump his tires or something? We seem to perpetually have issues no matter what moves we make; players who are consistently solid will inexplicably fall apart as soon as we fix a different issue. Worst of all I know for a fact if we trade Quinn he'll be a perennial 30 goal scorer because Buffalo. That's all there is to explain some of the issues. Goaltending was mostly fine last year, this year its suspect. 2 years ago we scored at will and now we have to pray to get them some nights. Players seem to perpetually falter here whether it be endlessly loops of learning and unlearning or flat out stagnation and/or collapse. We rarely catch a break with a player or a bounce; the refs actively some nights seem hellbent on screwing us I'm just at a loss for words. How can a team with as many changes as we have had since 2013 be still more or less the same exact team? And you can't blame Pegula for the players' issues.
