GDT: 11/1/19 Buffalo at Washington, 7:00 pm ET, MSG, NHL & WGR 550

Krueger needs to sit dahlin in the corner for a while and let him think about what he did.

The kid is looking lazy, needs a slap.

[Cascade Youth]

Does Rasmus Dahlin suck at the sport of hockey?

This team needs to learn to play physical in their own end.  Win battles along the boards.  And how to clear the zone smartly.  Washington is too good to make these bad and soft plays 

As much as I like Krueger, I think that most of these players would have benefited playing under a dinosaur coach for a couple of seasons.  This team lacks fundamentals.

I wonder if Edmonton would trade Drasital for Dahlin 

[Pimlach]

Did Larsson shoot?  What was that?

Going to switch to WWE in Buffalo

Coach needs to start moving guys up and down the lineup. Make them compete for their icetime like you outlined in the preseason. Shuffle the deckchairs.

He needs a night in the press box for sure

Looked like a pass attempt to the middle.

Start trading d-men for forwards and he can skate a regular shift.

No. I like having depth at D

One hockey loss is like giving up a long scoring drive in an NFL season

I'm not sure why I keep making these comparisons, just had the calculator out

We have been on a steady decline since games one and two unfortunately. Gotta start incrementally improving our play again

[hockeyhound]

Com'n one more before the period ends.

Let's Go Buffalo!

We are so loaded on defense that at least 1 and possibly 2 defensemen will be traded. I’m not sure who has the most value. 

We’re down 5-1 and we’re loaded on defense?

With the exception of the Dallas game I agree.

I’d argue our play has been incrementally slipping each game.  Ralph needs to change the trajectory.

The parts are greater than the whole. A bunch of skilled players not playing together and making dumb mistakes.

[dudacek]

I think tomorrow I’d slide Victor into ERod’s spot and try Vesey with Jack and Sam.

And Montour for Gilmour. Even though John doesn’t really deserve to come out, it’s the best thing for the team long-term. Maybe Montour can settle Dahlin down?

[Randall Flagg]

Did I hear that Dreger said Botts wants a top 6 and bottom 6 forward? It's a shame it was Dreger and not someone better

But if true, I like to hear it

It’s one game, can’t judge everything on this. But defense has been a nice surprise this year

Let Rasmus watch from the box if Montour plays.  He needs it.  Let him talk with the coaches up there and get a different perspective.

Respectfully, I don't think laziness is an issue, at all. 

He looks like his confidence is shot in the defensive end.
