Nolan was a bad pickup. He contributes nothing and takes bad penalties. At least DLo would make hard clean checks to make the opposing D cough the puck up.

And play defense in a pinch.

To commit to winning I would pull my goalie when down at the end of the game because it increases the chances of winning

This happened one time and it was the biggest disaster anyone ever saw and it was never tried again 

Maybe a just a little hyperbole in that Flagg.

Maybe, but it was never tried again even when we had Bergdorfer and Brady Austin playing. 

 

And it's not hyperbole that he was the worst skater in the league over the last two years. I ran the numbers during each season

 

We just have that thing where now that time has gone on and things aren't better we don't remember how bad things were before, just that it couldn't have been this bad, even when it was

OK.  Got to say I started to think of Hogan's Heros when you mentioned Bergdorfer.  I forgot all about that guy.

DLo would provide a spark when the team was sleeping with hard hits and the occasional fight. And he was faster than some of this year's player's on the forecheck. Nolan isn't delivering for the role he's supposed to be playing.

Nolan is a bad 4th liner, but he's at least an NHL body.

 

Nic Des isn't even close to an NHLer. Not that it matters.

A major step back this year, never expected they would be this bad

They are absolutely boring to watch. I thought they would be better but they are just as bad as the Coyotes. Jack got paid and it’s like he hasn’t shown up yet to play. What a joke this team has become. All those picks wasted and they are still bad.

Through 19 games last year, Colorado Avalanche: 9-10-0

Through 19 games this year, Buffalo Sabres: 5-10-4

 

It might not get better.

Face it this team is garbage. Worst thing is we will still lose the lottery.

When our top argument is whether Nolan or D-lo is better....

 

 

Yeahhhhhhhh, ya got a problem

I agree.

Yet he got called up and is now playing in Montreal.

No he wouldn't. Go to any GDT he played in last year and there were complaints that he wasn't doing the only thing he knew how to do.

We will have the same conversation about Nolan next year when he's replaced with another crappy 4th liner.

It's an example of a player not fulfilling their role. He wasn't an upgrade.
