According to Torts, we lost again, but we still have balls.

So sad to read these pages. I hope Kevyn comes up with something better, and soon.

Dallas PK dominating the Sabres. No match.

The Sabres better wake up and score on the PP.

Stars PK stifled the Sabres. Sabres did ZERO.

It’s not funny because they drafted Rosen, Savoie, Kulich, and Östlund in the first round - all centers. Will any be NHL centers? wingers?

With Mitts gone we really have to improve on Cozens, Krebs, and Jost at center. They are thin up the middle.

Ok. That evens it up. get back to work. They are slacking and still in it.

Skinner scored. It will be reviewed.

My eyes and experience told me that. Thanks for the data. Please share it with Granato and his defensive assistant coach.

He may be wearing out but the Stars are all around the crease and in the slot. They seem to live there. UPL might need to get some Billy Smith in him. Billy would use his stick to clear the slot. Ah, the good old days.

The Stars are camping out in front of the net. Three deflection tip ins. One called back.

10 and 4 are not good together.

Byram skated with the puck to his corner and gave it away. WTF

Tage should have shot. That pass had no chance. Clifton looked hooked to me. Replay that

Nice that’s 20 A leaker for sure

Look like the Stars are going to camp out in front of UPL tonight.

It looks like a high stick to me.

Good evening Teammates, Punch checking in late today. Tie game right now. Muscle Weight.

I would like to see them beat a very good team on the road tonight. No “pressure” of the home crowd - I can’t believe that’s a thing but apparently it is for these boys. Entertain me, and show the fan base that you care.

You missed my point. Terry thinks he is on par with the younger guys that he hires. He would be concerned an old vet like Trotz would blow him off. And none of his GMs, Murray, Botrill and especially Adams , were longtime AGMs. Even the “well respected “ part had limitations on their experience. These guys were all hired on the young side and were considered to be bright and capable, but GM is a stretch assignment for all of them. Maybe a far stretch.

Terry does not hire old guys that know more than him. Adam’s, Bots, Murray all first timers and young.

It is both. Coaches can effect it to a large extent but they can only do so much and that is when the internal leadership from the players has to kick in. Do you think Drury or Briere would allow the group to be consistently sleep walking through the first 10 minutes of the first period? Leadership is lacking if they are consistently not ready to play. Coaches and players are both part of the problem. CULTURE

It looked to me that Mitts was the one center that could work with anyone. Can we stop trading 25 year old players just entering their prime? Meanwhile we have 21 year old Byram who is very similar to Power - still in his early development phase - he is a talent but not a savvy veteran defender that could help stabilize things. Byram might turn out to be very good, but the trade created a big hole for now that needs to be addressed, and we added a player that is very much like several others we already have. Diversity of skills is not something that Adams seems to be unaware of, or is just not too concerned with.
