The strength??? Buffalo has become a fantastic venue for fans of other teams to come watch their teams play….easy ticket availability, less traffic when leaving the arena, and a great fan experience of having so many of your fellow fans join you. Just look and listen to the opposing team fans when Toronto, Montreal or other teams come here. Plus….there’s a really good chance you’ll see your team win!!! It’s like a home game on the road. Another strength…..an amazing ability for teams to fall behind, change their goalie and then still win the game. It’s a great confidence booster!

If they didn’t already trade away 2 other D’men, I’d love to see Ruff sit him for the rest of the season….or at least enough games that he might actually want to get back in there.

Marty Wilford says it’s not allowed. If our defense didn’t suck, they wouldn’t need him as their coach, right? 😁

Actually, I thought he was trying to box him out....which he needs to do

That one's on UPL

Fair enough....but before this season started the team preached "accountability". Playing poorly with no consequences seems to mock the notion of holding players accountable.

That's not a penalty...UPL is trying to do his job

The question I have is why is Quinn not sitting out more games. IMHO - if Lindy is in charge to make his own lineup decisions, then I think he would sit Quinn. I have no proof, but wonder if Lindy is being forced to play him from GMKA and TP? If Quinn is not 100%, then he should sit period until he's 100%....then do a reconditioning stint in Rochester maybe?

Nice assist by Benson there1

It's also a good time for UPL to make a save. 2 goals on 8 SOG's...ugh!

I wouldn't mind seeing a summer package deal with Power + Quinn for something of value in return....whatever that is.....

PLUS....they show SOG's!!! I have no faith that MSG will ever get with the program and show such a basic piece of info....MSG is either cheap or lazy or both.

They look like what you would have if Thor played football.

Fair enough. My concern with TNT at center revolves around his puck handling abilities. I feel like he’s not particularly good at passing and maintaining puck possession. I don’t know if there are stats on this, but to my eye he is not a true center at puck management.

Fair enough….I think Kulich playing wing is the 2025 version of the TNT at center experiment. The only real true C that I see anywhere in the organization is Östlund.

Long list, but unfortunately it still needs another center. Kulich should be a winger.

Muel is up next.....completely ignored what was happening in the scrums and skated away.

I agree that McLeod has shown something more than I expected this season. If the choice were between Cozens and McLeod as our 2C, I would definitely agree that it's easily McLeod. I can only say that I had a higher expectations of how Adams would construct the spine and that McLeod was brought in to be our 3C. IMHO with TNT as a winger now, we are back to needing another top 6 center who has offensive/playmaking. If it turns out to be McLeod, I agree with you that we could do worse.....but I also think we need an insurance policy (in case of injury) of another 2C or 3C who can play top 6. Also IMHO - I still see Kulich as a winger, not a center.

If Kulich is the 2C next season, then once again TP and GMKA have failed to do their job. The 2C is not in the organization today (it’s not McLeod either).

Dahlin knows who the actual GM of this team is (TP). KA is just the muppet puppet and Pegula is operating from below….hidden out of the public view.

Leaning forward….yeah, Dylan did that whenever he got in a fight….that way the other guy can tag him in the jaw or nose better.

The question I ponder is what kind of useless talking points will the team come up with to justify this ridiculous promotion? I don’t think “he’s got great hair” will work like it did with Ted Danson.

He’s become a complete coward….plain and simple.

That’s how it works in Pegula’s Sabreland……get rewarded for your incompetence.

It’s too bad that we have what I already thought was a stay at home LHD in Muel. He’s just garbage period
