Gatorman0519 Posted November 2, 2018 Report Posted November 2, 2018 Ottawa’s a garbage team rebuilding and they lay an egg. Saturday is a must win... no excuses! Quote
thewookie1 Posted November 2, 2018 Report Posted November 2, 2018 They sure as hell better run Ottawa out of Buffalo on Saturday! They were piss poor in the 1st and 2nd and in the 3rd suddenly decided to impose their will on Ottawa and dominated. Do that for a full 3 periods next time! Quote

Gatorman0519 Posted November 2, 2018 Report Posted November 2, 2018 Eichel is fine. He is ahead of where McKinnon was at this stage. What we need is for at least a second line to show up. We are 26th in scoring. It’s simply unacceptable. 1 Quote

Scottysabres Posted November 2, 2018 Report Posted November 2, 2018 Eichel is not the problem. Depth lines 2, 3 and 4 offensive contributions are. So is their ability to show up and play 60 minutes. Players to trade: Risto, Reinhart and Girgensons or Larsson. Sorry, but this team still needs building blocks. Quote

Wyldnwoody44 Posted November 2, 2018 Report Posted November 2, 2018 What's really sad is that they have it in them, that 3rd was dominant (sure maybe some Alamo by Ottawa) but if they play 45 minutes like that, they win, plain and simple. The talent is mainly there on this team, it needs some maturing, but it's there. I need to see them show up every night for most of the game. W's and L's are decided by effort 2 Quote
Thorner Posted November 2, 2018 Report Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) Anything that starts breaching the territory of "clutch" gets tiresome. That the goals Eichel helped produce today just didn't come at the "right" time. If Pete Carroll gives the ball to Lynch at the goal line, and Tom Brady's Super Bowl performance in that game is altered not a single iota, he's probably not recognized as the near-indisputable GOAT of QBs right now as he only ties Montana for titles. So much is based on circumstance. Likewise, if Kyle Okposo wires that shot home and scores again in OT, Jack is lauded for a gritty effort that produced two points and captained the team to a comeback victory.
