The difference though is at least if nothing else those defensemen were physical.

I know just venting lol To think we could have had Svechnikov makes me so ill. People keep saying it takes time but the thing is he's not a hitter, he's not only bad but terrible in our own zone and he's not even a huge point producer on offense, I hate his whole game.

Can Dahlin be sent to AHL? This guy continues to cost us games.

The next Goaltender better be Hasek-like because this defensive core is very bad. When we're depending on rookies like Samuelsson and Owen Power to bail us out you know it's a terrible situation. I hope this team opts for big physical players with skill from here on out on both sides.

FU

I tried giving him the benefit of the doubt but it's the same every night, he's clearly a colossal bust imo.

Dahlin is a complete bum, he seems to get worse as the season goes on.

I want to see us build a team of bullies for once.

I hate when teams panic just to hold the lead.

I don't think you can go wrong with either player imo, no Lambert isn't as gifted but he's an elite skater with an excellent shot, I'd say he's a faster Patrick Laine.

If we land Shane Wright or Brad Lambert in the upcoming draft it will speed up the process for sure. Wright/Lambert, Krebs, Jack Quinn, JJ Peterka, Casey Middlestadt, Owen Power, UPL, Victor Olofsson and Dylan Cozens should be an interesting lineup.

I saw them playing not to lose (which to me is playing scared(

Can we get Johnny Boychuck from retirement to replace Dahlin?

They had this game won then just played completely scared. This is where an Okposo and Girgensons is supposed to be the veteran presence.

Please Owen Power don't be another bum like this guy.

Teach this bum Dahlin how to play defense.

We finally have a true power forward in Alex Tuch, super excited to see him play when he comes off injured reserve.

I can't say I'm thrilled about giving up our top center even though it was inevitable. It's about as good of a return as we could have got and the future looks bright although Krebs was struggling from what I read but I think he'll be worked in slowly to see where he fits. Tuch is such an underrated player and I might be even more excited about him than Krebs right now, we finally have that true power forward, he'll be fun to watch when he's off of LTIR. The first could be a high 1 since Vegas has injury woes this year and it supposed to be a deep draft so that's good news. I thought the Sabres would be under the cap floor though, not sure how this works?

Some people are meant for that and others are not, either it's in your DNA or it isn't. Dahlin is not that guy and it's obvious but pair him with a guy who is would be the smarter choice.

It's entertaining watching grown men talk about another person's injury like they are speaking with Jack, his agents and all the Dr's in their free time.

I didn't answer because although I love the way they're playing but at some point talent will have to surpass heart or at least have a mixture of both and we're just not there yet. The Echel trade and next draft should yield the talent we're looking for but until then I'll enjoy watching but know there will be plenty of games like tonight's Bruins game.

I really want to take my son to a game but we both want to be right in front , I just can't justify paying $160+ for 2 tickets to an LA Kings gamein March knowing we'll most likely be out of the playoffs Way before then.

I have to admit they looked fast, they grinded out hard on the boards and dominated a team that made it to the Stanley Cup finals last season. I don't care who was in net for them we were supposed to be the 1 score and Montreal the 5. That's the most heart/grit/determination I've seen them play with in a very long time. Old man Anderson was excellent, still looks like he has plenty left in the tank. I don't know why but I really like this letter to almost like he was addressing it to us saying we may not win every game but we'll play hard which is what we were all hoping for, just be exciting and work your ass off!

See you next season under a different name.

I don't see Steve Ott as our captain. We're trying this again with a young core which GMKA will build in his vision. Cozens, UPL, Middlestadt, Dahlin, Power, Quinn is not a terrible start. There will also be guys who will surprise and get a chance on our roster but I don't think this organization wants to lose anymore for a player/players.
