Cozens nice rush… but why shoot from the top of the key?… Keep driving to the net.

Wishful thinking in his part… Here’s my wishful thinking… Granato isn’t here next year either.

Think Bales coaching… and Anderson’s mentoring… and UPL’s extra work now that the rotation has changed is making the difference since December. Shame he gets such poor goal scoring support.

UPL keeping us in it… Again. Say it a lot lately

Badly outshot 22-12… No coordinated attack… All reactive… Not converting the opportunities we get.

Good PK

Geez… Missed opportunity there… Only get so many in a game… Wasting ours.

Standing around in our own zone… Playing 5x5 like it’s a PP instead of going after the puck… Lucky to escape that shift.

Kid’s a gamer… Unlike too many of his new mates… Screaming from the bench… Leadership by example.

Thompson… Woke up.

Good God Almighty…

Granato has no confidence in his lines.

Geez Thompson… Talk about a choke.

Victor as well… KA employs an unusual strategy…

Weak… Another 1st period hole. McDavid blew right through two players in the neutral zone

Great anthem voice.

Seems Buffalo Hockey is a process problem taught by its coaches throughout the franchise. Here’s a Amerks fan’s commentary: “This team doesn’t fight, loses most physical battles, plays it’s worst hockey on home ice, has a coach who always comes up with excuses, and most curiously right now has seemingly lost all offensive abilities!!! Who wants to watch that?!” Sounds familiar.

So many of us have suspected this for months… All on Adams and Granato. Mitts sounded like he actually missed practicing hard… Practices too easy and cerebral in Buffalo?… Too much standing around listening to Granato wax on about his process… Sure helps explain why we seem to run out of gas late in games.

Listening to Adams hem and haw about the need to fill specific holes as opposed to bringing in top six F with grit, leaves me unimpressed with his plan… Explains his confidence he has the leadership on the roster in 23-24 year olds… Kids leading kids… Maybe Girgesons gets the C at some point early next year…

Maybe a Three Asst Competition… Dahlin, Tuch, and Girgeson or Byram… Though I expect Girgensons gets moved today.

Good for KO… Gets a chance at a Cup again… As Captain, he had to be replaced after the team stick stunt on his watch… Who will the team select as Captain?

Victor +/- +2… And he’s not been used until the last two games. Pathetic roster management. There has to be a back story.

We are so tentative… Just shoot it on net.

Shoot the puck

No time in the O-zone.
