Allen seems to have big games against us. Unbelievable. An EN goal is coming.

We need a goal and fast. Someone has to step up.

Tuch engages but no way did Dillion answer for it.

You have been getting into the numbers lately? Pretty soon you will be rolling out fancy stats. We need to know: (1) Expected high danger fanning on the puck, (2) % of breakout passes behind the winger per 60 minutes, and (3) % of goals given up by standing around with stick blade in the air, - fixing stuff like this would improve the team greatly.

Damm ....

I get your point, but you will still be watching them on Dec 3rd. I will be there too.

.500 on Dec 3rd is ok, especially if its a Deluca .500. I just don't see any magic instant turnaround. This is a process, just like the Bills went through under McD. Earn the right to win.

Game 25 is Dec 3rd, at home, versus the Avs.

Sounds like a lot of insider info here from the Brawn Man. Thanks! Anyone involved in NHL hockey would flip out if Adams was replaced by Forton and not Karmanos.

It is going to take some time. If its 20-25 games they still need to stay near .500 while they get it figured out. If not this could snowball. The PP is something that we can complain about. Most of these guys have been together for several years and yet the PP is not even at a "pick up team" level of competency. Change the players and wake them up. Paul Hamilton on WGR Radio is saying that Dahlin is not right and playing hurt. hmmm .

No, not really.

Oh. OK. Carry on with your sarcasm then.

UGH. PK

No. This is the last thing you do. Bad idea. Goalie are strange. Levi might play better than UPL for awhile, and then vice versa. We have UPL on a good contract. KEEP TWO GOALIES. It is ok to have a lot of talent. TWO good goalies is better than one.

You play Levi a bit more and be happy to have two good goalies.

The expectation is to win. As in, win now, win today.

TNT getting the goal!

Yes, JVB was good and had his best seasons while playing as a Sabre.

"Malenstyn gave Mercer a face full of leather" ... not bad Dan.

I knew that Scotty did not like Robert and I hated the trade at first.

Good morning Teammates, Punch checking in. Big game, lest get on track. MUSCLE WEIGHT

RIP Billy Shaw. Died at 85. Was a two way starter at both DT and OT at Georgia Tech and drafted in the 2nd round. Possibly the best OL the Bills have ever had. Lots of All Star and All Pro honors, he was selected to the All Time First Team AFL Team. Led the Bills to two AFL Championships (1964 and 1965). Very strong, fast and athletic. Bills Wall of Fame. Pro Football Hall of Fame. He was a great player and an ambassador for Bills Football in later years.

All the people calling to play Peyton Krebs is funny. With KAB out we will see Krebs and maybe Kulich. None of that matters much though. The guys with letters, the big 5 - Dahlin, Tage, Tuch, Muel and Cozens. They need to set the example and lead by playing good hockey and demanding the best from the others. Playing Krebs, Kulich, or any other spare roster guy is not gonna fix what happened today. That’s up to the big 5.

I’m not making excuses. I not surprised that they weren’t ready, that was predictable. They got beat. They didn’t make the plays that were there. They don’t have a winning culture and they let the Devils come to them. I’m not surprised by that. There is no switch to flip, there is no magic formula to make them a good team. They have want it and they have to do it. It’s still just one game. They have a lot to learn. If they win tomorrow I’ll say the same thing.

I think it too soon to react to this one game. Lindy has had little time in preseason to play his top players against other teams top players. The team has a long way to go. I think they will get better as the season goes on. That said, it would be nice to see Lindy change a few players for tomorrow’s game. Another slow start and poor play tomorrow would be a concern.
