We are coached not to hit. And it seems getting to the net is an attitude problem with most in Sabres. Look at the Canucks goals against Vegas the other night. Garland, and EP40 camping out in front of the crease. Garland with two goals from the paint. It’s an attitude and they’re not coached to do it. And if they are then the message has not resonated with the players. Aside from Benson.

Detroit with the absolute worst empty net percentage in nhl history 😂

They have to blow those dead. Idc, it’s a puck in the mouth and the ref sees it all the way. As soon as the Detroit guy passed the puck it should be blown. If he shoots it right away fine.

Imagine if this team was ready to start games? That to me, is on the coaching staff not having them ready to go. The sample size is ample.

Is there a way to see how many have muted a user?

Power with the right coach will be just fine. He’s a child. He needs time.

I think the talk at the exit meetings should center around getting stronger for sure. Thompson is 6’7” but plays like he is a foot shorter. Cozens needs to get bigger for sure. Power too. 💯 agree on that sentiment.

I believe there are guys on the team that this doesn’t phase them. Dylan Cozens, Tuch, Dahlin, this eats them up. Cozens is not there just collecting, this is seriously hurting him. His character and roots dictate that. He will be better. But he needs a vocal coach to rid him of the fry. My goodness I’m not so sure. Some wanted to move on from Hedman early on.

Cozens is all heart and this is hurting him and his pride. But I don’t see him being the type to just keep accepting this. He will try to improve. I believe that. His vocal fry, however, belongs on the bachelor. Insaid it in another thread but when Sergei Gonchar offers advice to a Quinn Hughes, his resume dictates that he should be listened to and respected. Matt Ellis commands absolutely nothing. As for Byram I’m not so sure he will bolt so soon but it could mean Power is moved for other pieces.

We really are embarrassing. Drop that pos Bertuzzi

To be fair, the Oilers were playing like a$$ at the start, but their team was loaded with talent and they were a Cup pick before season started. The Canucks were nowhere near projected to be where they are and don’t have the best two forwards in hockey. Tocchet will/should win the Adams.

Look no further than Vancouver to see what a coaching change and a staff of very good assistants can do.

Well put. In off season I try to move Skinner and retain whatever we have to within reason. If no trade, he has to be bought out. Tonight it looked like Cozens was not into it. Definitely need some vets who will ruffle feathers. Coaching staff has to change. An example of not being ready was tonight and to not call a timeout at 2, then 3 nothing is unacceptable. Feelings being hurt doesn’t matter either. UPL didn’t have it tonight and after 3 he should have been pulled. The game was salvageable at 3 and Levi playing well game them a chance. Off season is gonna be very interesting, or it should be.

Katchouk giving g Dahlin the feigning head butt lol and Dahlin paid him no mind.

Levi big save.

I’m actually super surprised by this. Quite remarkable tbh. we should have two ourselves. UPL just didn’t have it tonight.

Have to pull him

Gonna get goalied tonight

Cozens and Dahlin looking very poor there. Good timeout by Granato……..oh wait

Good lord

Sweet pass by Tuch to JJ JFC

Ugh

When locker cleanout interviews take place I am curious to hear what injuries guys have been been carrying. I believe Tage has been dealing with that cheap kick he took against Boston when Mcavoy cut his leg. I bet it’s been bugging him all year, as is hos hand which Mcavoy also did. Ivthink some top players (Tuch) have had something abnormal and for longer than the usual “banged up” issues all players have.

He had 21 career goals, RESPECT the man!! 😉

Yeah and ref was like that’s fine.
