Just not enough talent. The only line looking good is Tuchs

I don't think we'll compete next year. More like the 8-10 range

Granato should keep Cozens on that line and not putting Tage there

I would agree.  But to get to 8-10 we will need better goaltending.  Adams inherited UPL and Portillo, he added Levi.  UPL gets the reigns next year I guess?  
 

Adams  veteran pick ups have not been nearly enough to help this team win.  Not even close.

Yup. Skinner has been tricky to find the right center, and for a bit Tage/Skinner worked. However, since arriving, Tuch appears to be pushing Skinner pretty well, too. Keep Cozens on that line. Get Tager with Asplund and a healing Olofsson. And reunite Girgs/Okposo with Eakin -- or Krebs if he's staying up.

Agree.  Having not seeing Ottawa for a while, my initial impression after only 2 periods is that they have better team speed and IMHO are maybe a year ahead of Buffalo in rebuilding.  If they are ahead of us, then this year's Ottawa team still is not competing for a playoff spot either.

I would give Adams an incomplete on His Veteran Pick Ups, the only two who are signed after this year are Bjork and Tuch. 
 

Bjork has been a disaster, but Tuch is almost a PPG Player and a probably the future Captain. 
 

Hopefully with a better front office there will be more Tuchs acquired and less Bjorks

Goaltending is not our problem… Effort… Zip… Jump… Puck control… Shooting…

Dahlin with a very nice rush, gets into the Ottawa zone and NO ONE to pass to.  
 

There is an example of not having enough good players for him to play with.

Heck of a zone entry by Dahlin that Murray almost cashed on at the end

I think Bjork's drive toward the net there is the first time any Sabre has challenged Ottawa's defense to the middle of the ice since Cozen's goal. Certainly the first time I recall driving to the net. (And it drew an oooooh from the fake crowd noise generator!)

I wanna know how that generator works.  I'd giggle my balls off doing that gig.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
