It used to be cool when he was good, now it just looks pointless and annoying Penetrate that blanket, Casey Expand Eichel used to demand respect along the half wall 5 on 5 because with a quick shield and push he'd loop out and into slot and bury it. This year, if he's along the boards, just double him and take the puck away. His pass today was beautiful (to Montour for a flub) but the rest of the time it's a turnover. Quote

DarthEbriate Posted March 7, 2021 Report Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) That was pretty. Not good for us. But pretty for them. Edit: Maybe it's good for us because it speeds the coach to the curb. Edited March 7, 2021 by DarthEbriate Quote
Huckleberry Posted March 7, 2021 Report Posted March 7, 2021 Don't think Jacks head can go way more down than this. Quote

Brock looked surprised by it. Let’s be realistic, these players are friends off the ice but maybe Buffalo’s play, mired in an ugly losing streak, could be more focused and intense. Maybe that is all Jack needs? A new stick. Edited March 7, 2021 by Pimlach 1 Quote
