It’s called a “metaphor.” Metaphors by definition are not intended to be taken literally. 🤦‍♂️ 🙄

Love it. Casey is not only -13, but also has 4 take aways to go with 23 give aways! That’s one trade by Adams that is looking good so far.

This is why, when a lot of posters thought this time was different after the Rangers win, I expressed skepticism. This is the same undisciplined, youthful team that can’t play the game the way it should be played most of the time. They only play 50% of the time. They will continue on these 3-4 game win streaks and 3-4 game losing streaks. No way should they have lost this game if they are a team intent on grinding their way to the playoffs.

Great game to watch! Let’s hope this is a start of a genuine turnaround. And not just that we caught the Rangers on an off night. Because we’ve been down this road of lose 3 or 4 or 7 in a row and come back and win 4-5 in a row, look good, then go on another losing streak. Gotta stay tough. Mentally and physically. Not every game will be that easy.

Incredible! they need to slow down on the scoring. I can hardly keep up! 😂 just kidding

Amazing.

Greenway!!! Hahahaha

Don’t relax. Stay intense.

Tage!!!!

Samuelsson is a healthy scratch? I suppose that is a message?

This is the same team we’ve seen for the last few years (though they were at least entertaining 2 years ago with all the scoring). They go out and lose 2-3-4 in a row. Then they win an unexpected game and win a couple in a row. They are a .500 club. The same thing they have been. Which sucks. If they are .500 this year they should just blow it up. Trade their talent. Pick up first rounders. Get rid of Adams. Wish Pegula would sell but that probably won’t happen. There is no reason to follow this team until something radically different happens.

That’s about as disappointing a loss as it gets. What the heck is Tage doing in OT? And for the last however many seasons our shorthanded defense has to be one of the most passive. But when it’s six on five skaters, you have to be more aggressive. Can’t just pack it in and then give a guy space to tap it in! UPL did himself no favors on a couple of those goals.

Between 1972 and 2001 we were in the playoffs 25 out of 29 years! And a very competitive team with anyone in several of those seasons. Winning or not winning a cup that franchise over a 3 decade stretch cannot in any way be described as a joke. (to say nothing of the fact that we were clearly robbed in the Dallas cup finals) The last 14 years in the Pegula - Adams era (which can’t end soon enough), can quite fairly be described as a joke.

If we benched Cozens, I would not change up the 3rd line but would move Krebs in that position between Benson and Quinn. Krebs has compete and could gel with Benson. And he was originally a talented offensive prospect.

I think/hope Cozens still can improve but he’s overpaid and I don’t have much confidence. Ever since getting pummeled in that fight last year it seems he just hasn’t had that same compete he has two seasons ago. He was really weak on that steal.
