Curt Posted November 22, 2019 Report Posted November 22, 2019 This was a really good effort where they carried the play for long stretches against one of the top 5 teams in the league. This game shouldn’t be looked at as another example of Buffalo sux. If anything it should be looked at positively. Quote
bunomatic Posted November 22, 2019 Report Posted November 22, 2019 They put in the effort but unfortunately effort isn’t everything. Lacking talent, NHL caliber players, finish, chemistry, will, grit , experience etc . This team needs a miracle. 2 1 Quote

This team could have the best fancy stats in the league and still lose. Cause they don't have actual finishing talent. They need better players. Expand They won more than they lost for an entire month, by a lot, just this season. Bad teams are capable of going through good stretches in the NHL. I don't disagree with the ultimate conclusion, but a month of that play with this team and they'll come out 3 games above regular .500 Edited November 22, 2019 by Randall Flagg Quote

I don't think it's a moral victory to be encouraged by their play, though, because of the fact that if they bring that game the next month they'll win more than they lose. Expand The problem is they won’t play like this for the next 4 or 5 games. The only consistent thing with this team is that they are not consistent. 1 1 Quote

But their ES scoring is non existent. I doubt it changes now that we get Ristoooooooooooooooooo on the PP in place of a forward, in that he scored a goal so we'll be subjected to 100 more games with it before he's moved. Quote
