We are talking about JJP. he is going to score 25 as a 22 year old In what world isn't that helping you now? Oh well. A motivated Canes team kicked their ass. lets put in behind and move on to sweep the back to back vs Montreal

19-6 needed to finish the year now that's a measly.760 winning %.

So you want him to Play for someone else when he becomes a 30 to 40 goal scorer at 24 / 25 years of age? Especially consider the call on Tuch to start the game.

Has a 28 goal season under his belt and is on pace for 25 this season. just turned 22. How possibly can you be tired of him already?

Hate guys that score goals too

Game , set , match Ugly game all round Can't handle a motivated Carolina team cant afford efforts like tonight need to go 19-6 over the last 25. Not bloody likely

Maybe someone else could take a draw on the PP ? Tage has lost all 3 to start each PP

Dahlin literally tripped in front of the ref.

Well I was right on both ends. Terrible looking PP but got lucky and got a goal regroup. Hopefully The Canes blew their load in the first and they can get back and win this one

I'd like to think they can get a goal here and regroup in the intermission Unfortunately, I have a feeling , this is going to be one of the worst PP we've seen this season

Thought the same thing. Not even sure the ref saw the call on McLeod but give. That standard, how wasn't that a penalty of Carolina?

Gilbert is overwhelmed at the moment

Not ideal

Must win to keep hope faintly alive looking at closing the season with a daunting 19-7 record to possibly make the playoffs

1G and 2A today for Poltapov

At this point I'm hesitant of even trading Cozens for EP. that $11 mill per year would be an anchor around the franchises neck if he doesn't become an elite player again. I think it's buyer beware and add to the team elsewhere it's just too much of a Risk

I read a post on another thread saying that this team is never going anywhere unless they get their superstar like Josh Allen what if they already have that player? Is Rasmus Dahlin on the verge of being a superstar? he's definitely all-star level at this point The way he has played, since coming back from injury, probably has him in the top 5 or 6 dmen in the league. Case in point - since Dec 23rd he is tied for the most assists in the NHL with Kucherov. Dahlin has also played in 2 less games than Kucherov The last few games he's played, including the game in Nashville, he's been as good as I can ever recall I think he hits superstar level next season and there will be a debate between him and Makar as the best in the league

Are we getting to the point that Petterson for Cozens straight up may not be a clear win for the Sabres ? Especially in 2 years or so I do believe that EP was injured last offseason and couldn't train for the season. Though it was a knee injury, nothing to do with the heart

Not sure that makes sense. We (Canada) are member of NATO, so an attack on us would be an attack on All NATO countries. this thread is sure off of the 4 nations. Maybe the title should be changed?

My rebuttal to that is , we've seen Marner and Petterson in the playoffs and they've wilted. On the other hand Bennett has thrived. it was a good night to be on the Bennett bandwagon last night. Gordie Howe Hat trick with G, A and Fight not to mention he is going to be cheaper than both Marner and Petterson I disagree with the "not impact" player. I think he brings every bit of an impact to a game than anyone else we've spoken about

More nationalistic type? I have a feeling you are underestimating the impact of his comments on all Canadians.

So you agree I don't think anyone thinks the team as is is good enough. That's why I said , they are close but still need to add a significant piece in a RHD

Uggghhhh Rossi misses a wide open cage with about 20 seconds left. wild lose to the redwings. Wings remain 13 ahead of the Sabres with both teams Winning tonight

Another win. now looking at 19-7 to have a shot at the playoffs .730 winning percentage still seems unlikely but you never know. Certainly playing as well as I can remember, going back a few years at least

Hey man, nice shot!
