Dahlin is playing a less than normal minutes so far. 26 minutes left, he has played under 11.

Quinn good effort on that.

Good game so far.

Interesting and refreshing analysis in between period. Better 2nd and 3rd periods have to come from the players. Coaches can talk and point and yell, the players have to execute.

Aren’t they an excellent puck possession team? You don’t hit when you have the puck. I don’t think the Canes lack a physical game but I don’t watch them much. Their coach sure liked to hit.

Decent period. UPL is the difference so far.

That’s Jason Boterill’s sister. She does a good job.

Why does Tuch get such a hard time here? He is one of the better players on the roster from what I see.

A Crosscheck has changed I see.

I honestly don’t see Lafferty sticking his leg out on the replay, but I thought he did in real time action.

Nice start. Must have been screened by his own defenseman

You are correct. You don’t.

Dustin Tokarski is starting for the Canes. The Toker is back.

I was looking forward to the game until this little bit of reality. ^ Oh well, sometime they surprise us.

I am shocked as to why he would do this. He can always come back in the off season.

Old school hockey guy. Funny commentary and quite often spot on.

Man I hope not. How about cheer crazily once again? From The Hockey News, enjoy the sights and sounds -> https://thehockeynews.com/news/doerries-top-10-favorite-rick-jeanneret-signature-calls

My first thought was "oh, no". Thankfully there is not another Adams Presser anytime soon.

Exhausting and sad.

Mid January and nothing to play for but pride. This is getting exhausting. Well, we can listen to the TNT guys poke fun at the Sabres.

? Most games on ESPN+ are the MSG games shown outside the MSG viewing area. This one is on TNT.

Maybe not. Group dynamics will change with a new leader. Based on the rumors, Adam’s has targeted some very good players, but deals do not happen. Maybe Karmanos is a better closer and can pull off a few good trades? Maybe he is more respected among other GMs? Keep in mind that Karmanos had a better resume, with much better hockey operations experience, than Adams did when Adams was given the GM job. Karmanos spent six seasons with the Pittsburgh, and was their AGM for three seasons. He was their vice president of hockey operations prior to that. He runs Rochester right now.

I was at that game. Up in Section 10 of the Oranges. My first games were late 60's Buffalo Bisons games in the Aud before the Oranges were there.

I hear you but Adams would be the wrong guy to send after the disaster that was his last presser. You just know that it could easily get contentious and only do more harm. Maybe Gueli would be a better choice, and he could focus more on the other factors related to fan experience. Or, you just stay with the past formula. We will get to Adams and Ruff at the end of the season and will probably be unpleasant.

Welcome back Taro and thanks for pointing this out. We don't need more things to be pissed about. Being essentially out of it by Christmas is enough.
