Powers has shown no evidence he can play with snarl… At 6’6” and age 22… kid plays like a wuss for a big D-man… Imagine a 22 year old Benson at 6’6”… Kid is fearless. Both Power and Samuelson should be embarrassed at their lack of physical play… Embarrassed.

Yep… If Mahomes didn’t have Kelce, KC would be middling … Shut down Kelce, we shut down KC.

Not even a close call if you believe Adams and Granato still expect to make the playoffs… Kid has more compete and drive in him than most of the roster… He stays.

Vented pretty bad last night… Thought we gave away a win… Not today… Much to be thankful for in Sabrespace… Our owners who keep Buffalo in the NHL… our GM who filled the pipeline with future All-Pros… Our Coach who takes the heat from us as the team finds its way… and the Players who embrace the community… and work to compete and entertain us on their way to bringing a Stanley Cup to Buffalo someday soon… Happy Thanksgiving all… Eat, Drink, and be Merry!

The only D with snarl is Dahlin… and he is too valuable to be setting the physical tone each game… One or more of Samuelson, Jokiharju, and Power need to step up and set the tone early every game… and reset it every period.

UPL is much improved so far this season… All development.

Thought Granato’s post game comments were as pathetic as our late 3rd period effort.

Agree… He surely has seen enough of Levi now to be decisive and stop expecting Levi to learn on the job at the NHL level… But Adam’s is stubborn…

They owned the OT… We were outplayed… and out coached… Our skaters were exhausted…

We lack the killer instinct… Give up too many late goals… lose to many games late… Can’t teach it… We need 23 guys with Benson’s drive and determination…

Effing pathetic.

What a disappointment…

Dammit

Girgensons had an easy clearing chance and didn’t even try… He and KO shouldn’t be getting minutes inside 5 minutes with a lead…

Get one here

Get organized…

Kid is fearless.

Faceoffs 21-12… Us

What a 2 minute display of ineptitude… We lucked out… Granato needs to send them out hungry like he did in the 1st

Now exit this period with the lead…

Cozens one timer… Not TNT level… but close…

Shoot and charge the net…

Caps are opportunists… We’ve outplayed them… Need to keep skating, attacking, shooting, and checking.

The boy needs to step up his physical game… He is a soft kid… No excuse with his size… Needs a good dose of mean.

That line is working.
