And it's on Eichel to change that on the ice right now, tonight. He needs to lead by example with his effort and attitude.

He needs to produce. He was never supposed to be an "effort guy." That's a Buffalo thing. For Eichel to not even be a top 50 offensive player in his fourth year is really disappointing.

Let's Go Buffalo!

Arghh, why are we standing around and watching instead of initiating....

Don't you just go to yourself?

[Radar]

My,my we'll be lucky to get out of period only down one.

[darksabre]

Welp, I'm gonna go grab some ice time. Later gents. 

[R_Dudley]

We are lucky to down by only 1, We are doing nothing and if it continues that is what we will end up with...

I'm trying to remain positive. Sheary made a good defensive play to save a potential tip-in, Skinner anticipated the play at the blue line and intercepted a pass.

How am I doing?

You would think after a horrible loss in OT they’d be angry.  They got dominated and badly.  

[Brawndo]

Why in all that is holy is Berglund’s Line out there for the end of period?

Good....as long as you don't think about Risto standing behind the net with the puck for the last 15 sec of the PP.

[DarthEbriate]

I arrived late in the first and we look disjointed, but slowly waking up. We have hibernation sickness; our hockey legs will return in time. 

[Radar]

Okay we're very fortunate it isn't 3-0. Hopefully they get it together and realize there in a hockey game.

Because at least they are possessing the puck even if that can't do anything offensively well. Gotta start somewhere baby steps.... build off that..

[Scottysabres]

This team is pathetic. What in the tarnation are they being paid for?

Play some hard nosed hockey boys!!!!!

[Huckleberry]

***** it , I'm of to bed. they seem to play better when I don't watch ??

Maybe an overstatement. Pathetic period agree. 

[Gatorman0519]

1st period intermission...Girgs: “we didn’t come out ready”... 

pommers last game:  “we weren’t ready to get going”...

Swap their Gatorade with Iced Caps with 5hr energy shots.

Berglund’s Line has given up no shots while Eichel’s gave up one shot against.

But which Line is more likely to score a goal?

I like that first PP unit. 

Expand  

Honestly, I can't see a first PP unit that has Eichel, Dahlin, Reinhart, Mittelstadt, and Skinner on it, in say a year or two, not being absolutely dynamite.

His release is comically slow. 

[Huckleberry]

Scandella will be the first guy that gets traded out of buffalo in January.

Yeah I can't deny that however they can't play the whole game and the road team expects to typically have the home team come out and try and storm the gates. Save some of your best after weathering the storm is a philosophy many coaches use. So I expect they will get plenty of ice time 2nd and 3rd periods..
