What? Andrew Peters says he knows from sources within the organization that we are trading Mitts for Gibson. It could be happing right now. We never caught up. The big guys all took turns getting hurt, and the goalie tryout went on for another 2 months.

We should be caring about our playoff position and what player we could add at the deadline. But it takes competent leadership to get to that level.

But that is what will happen with Appert or Ellis. They will quit on those two immediately, and it will creep into some better players.

I agree with everything. I am still made at this team, don’t hate them, but I’m ready to replace a lot of them. I too ponder how having home ice and the final change is not a factor for Granato. It’s just not. Even me in my living room could see the Johnson’s were struggling, yet he kept sending them out against Vatrano-Terry-McTavish. That line scored on them 3 times in the 2nd, they played almost 12 minutes by the end of that period, way too much. It’s that time of year, just like last year. He does not have enough defense with Power and Muel out of the rotation. Who do you trust?

I don’t say fire Granato because they will put in Appert as interim and screw up Rochester, or worse, Ellis. Wait for the season to end and look for a coach. Offer Brind’Amour a ton. If not, talk to and interview Berube, Gallant, and all of the top candidates. DG did his best work already. Time for the next step.

Nothing comes together because of a handful of real bad players on this roster. A few should be in Rochester.

This may have been a game we could have used Muel and Power. The Johnson’s were owned. Ryan had 2 shifts in the 3rd with 2 more giveaways. Another home loss. Another poor game against a bottom feeder. Let’s go Buffalo.

The kids chanting to the end. No boos. All is happy with the Adams Family. 3:00pm, lots of time for video games this afternoon at Mittsy’s house.

Pretty bad time to take a penalty Mitts.

It will to me. I love winning.

Ryan needs a seat

Tage robbed twice in the exact same spot. Once by pad, now by glove.

Ducks finishing their checks and breaking out their road game shut down game. Sabres should be able to crack them if they push harder and get to the dirty areas. I’ll bet Ducks have more high danger chances. They love their coach though

Krebs is getting his shot at 3c but not really impressing me at all. Upper body strength and shot are not there . Still very young, but so far he is not close to the Cozens/Quinn/Peterka level. Will he bloom?

Backup goalie for Habs, career journeyman. Probably knows hockey though.

Ryan Johnson has played 11:53 after 2 period and is -4. It will be interesting to see what DG does with him in the next 20 minutes.

So I covered it. Who is their color guy?

What is he seeing? Porous team defense? Over passing? No body checks? Missed shots from the perimeter? Inconsistent effort? It is all there today plus bad goaltending which hasn’t been the case lately with UPL. Why else would his Ducks be completely outplayed but winning?

Wow. Ukko Pekka Leakkonen today

More like no effort

Godus beating on Skinner.

Ugh. The Johnson’s are -3 each. Benson gets one!!!

Ugh. Another ugly one

Ok Tage is off the schnied
