This is his mess and his team. Since 2000 we have had 3 decent seasons. Yes 3. Only 4 playoff appearances. 50 years anniversary and all we have is persistent losing and a tired fan base. Islanders barely had any chances and only goal against was from behind the net. What the hell are you making up for half of your post? 1 Quote

They knew going in to the season this roster still needs subtraction and additions. Jack's play, for 10 mil, let's just say less than not impressive. Reinhart, where has he gone? And 5he list can go on, the point IS NOT that 5hey suck, etc, etc. No, the point is "consistency", specifically effort and learning from mistakes, neither of which is showing significant progress imo. 1 Quote

Pimlach Posted November 3, 2019 Report Posted November 3, 2019 I thought they played better than the past few games. Everyone needs to stop panicking We are not elite We will battle for 8th Hutton let in a cheapie. Power play not getting pucks on net. We have only 4 top 6 forwards and it shows. If 9, 23, 53 or 90 don’t generate offense we are in trouble. Aisles played a stifling and disciplined game. They got 1 dose of puck luck, which decided game 2 1 Quote

I’m so tired of tag lines like have patience and trust the process. How about win at all costs? Is this too tough for these snowflakes hockey players. They can’t even play for a touchy feely coach like Krueger 1 Quote
Thorner Posted November 3, 2019 Report Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) There's a reasonable chance it's just a bad stretch, and not the descent into futility we saw last season. 4 losses in 5, just don't want that to turn into 8 or 9 losses in 10. Having a slump is normal. Edited November 3, 2019 by Thorny 2 Quote

And I dont let sports get me down, but If it makes you feel any better, I'm all positive about the Bills so far ?. I'll be there in long johns cheering them on tomorrow.
