They won, but didn't think they played all that well.... still no sense of urgency on defense, lost battles, puck watching and lack of awareness in their own zone. Looked sloppy and unorganized most of the game, poor decisions with the puck, etc. Same old same old.

this feels like a low point

ok I'll watch

It's a mental thing... it will pass.i Right now it seems they're more comfortable with a 1 goal lead rather than a 3 goal lead. That's how hockey goes sometimes. I'm not concerned.

no

3p weekday game here on the west coast? strange. Pay attention to Carolina... watch how much urgency they play with on defense, all 5 players, on the puck AND away from the puck. They give up the 3rd fewest scoring chances per game. Then watch Buffalo defend, slow feet, poor awareness, puck watching, guys away from the puck just standing still in an area... no sense of urgency.

"something else" They don't hate to lose enough. The urgency to defend is not there. I've said it in another thread... there's levels to hating to lose. They don't hate it enough, and it shows in their urgency to defend and decision making.

I've seen him several times at the Ice Den Scottsdale as an employee of the Coyotes (wearing coyotes branded gear) and hanging out with the team brass. My boys were there often for tournaments over the years and at the time the Ice Den was the Coyotes practice facility. I want to say that was sometime around 2017-2019. I remember being surprised to see him as he was just recently llet go by Buffalo and hadn't heard any news about his hiring anywhere else.

They're OK with losing, doesn't bother them too much.

is that good?

where was this guy the first 30 games?

Quinn all over the score sheet early

dirty play
