We were playing ok until we got the power play. Getting booed at home, on the power play, in a 1-1 game. It’s pathetic. Of course the man coming out of the box scores immediately. You can’t make this up Fantilli is quite a nice looking young player btw.

Dan not following the game, nothing said about Mitts play.

Nice 22 Cozens was “wacking away at it”.

Get the dam 2nd started. Listening to the “ what ifs” is killing me.

He expected more, as he should have.

A lot of our best players were out on the ice for the late goal. Trailing after one, AGAIN! Rob and Dan putting on a happy face about almost goals. Same as it ever was.

Good evening Teammates, Punch checking. Let’s win a home game and stay out of the Eastern Conference cellar. Muscle Weight

right on cue

... and some fans pulling for Columbus.

CBJ is the only team in the conference that does not have games in hand with Buffalo. Reality is we are probably 11-12 games behind when you factor games in hand.

I agree. Stress can really do a number and create other physical ailments. After the Columbus game, and again after the Leaves game, he did not look good. Of course he may be realizing himself that his messages are being ignored. It happens all the time in the NHL. I hope he is ok and its just a flu type thing. Good guy, and doing his best. Adams gave him a knife and sent him to a gun fight. As for Appert, this is telling. A new face, a new voice. Not Matty or one of the others that they already do not listen to.

For the most part true, the Bills coaching staff is far from the envy of the league either but they are for the most part capable. Daboll and Schen went to the NYG. The Bills have not stood pat on their coaching staff, they lost a good WR coach, and have shuffled DL and OL coaches, ST coaches, etc. Leslie Frazier remained retired. Dorsey will land a job, probably not as an OC. Only Mike Peca was poached by Laviolette.

Did this comment touch a nerve? Don't change, we need this, along with a good dose of your contrarian thinking. Most of us are so desperate for anything good that happens, however fleeting it turns out to be, that we lose sight of the real situation. Your skepticism is often the reality.

It feels like this ^

The “show me” part is bringing in a real coach. A real NHL coach will want some say in the roster and will want to move things along faster because a real coach knows his job is almost always on the line. RB’A is not leaving Raleigh for Buffalo. I can’t see it.

Seven years is about the time our defense and our goalies will be in their primes, and our 3rd wave of untouchable forward prospects will be ready too. Good timing!

These are the kind of teams we have trouble with. All of those teams will play a heavy game and try to slow us down. If we fall behind in the first period, as is the norm, and we will struggle to beat a neutral zone trap. We will get desperate and eventually give up too many odd man rushes. I've seen this movie before.

I think you owe it to the rest of use to research this. Start with the Oakland Seals and any other franchise that Charlie Finely owned.

Jost is blocking Nadeau.

How many more years before he sees that he made it worse?

I think a conditional 8th, 6 rolls of black tape, 6 rolls of white tape, and a bag of pucks.

Promote Adams? He is already running hockey ops. Promote him and then he gets a big raise. For what ? Bring in a new GM and watch Karmanos scurry out the door? Nope We need an NHL coach. Ideally this coach will work with Adams and have some say and control of the roster. Berube and Gallant are there. Not sure either would come here though. Gallant has been outside looking in for awhile. Berube will be heavily sought after.

It not the same as giving your players some down time on a road trip to get out, or rest, or whatever. Field trips are for youth hockey kids in a travel tournament.
