UPL has to just ignore the coach and go to the bench.

How was UPL not one of 3 Stars.  
 

Southern expansion franchises have no history on how to do this.

They had chances to dump it in. 

What has Tuch done to deserve to be on the ice down by a goal with a minute to go ?

Or do you the what I didnt hear you after he's on the bench. Granato is hopeless

They played a good game.  UPL Zkept them in. 
 

Granato blew it with the penalty. Dumb. 
 

This team overpasses. They really helped Florida

I'll take "Wants to be Here" attitude for 700 Crusader

It’s nice we are competing but the playoffs are not happening. Over last 10 we picked up 2 pts on WC team. Less to others ahead of him.

So at best we will be 6 or 7 behind when it’s all said and done.

The playoffs have never been in play this year. This team is not even remotely close to making the playoffs as is.

Never forget, ham sandwich hammered for a full season that Evan Rodriguez was an "ahl player".

Also all these ex-sabres on FL are complimentary parts not leaders. Similar to Vegas.

Tkachuk, Barkov, Ekbald are very strong leaders that set the tone for their team (so softies like Reinhart and Montour can play their pretty game).  The Sabres have Okposo, Thompson and Dahlin to match that? Standings make complete sense.

Skinner and Tuch have done next to nothing to deserve a spot on the top line 

why would you lean on them in the closing minute of a game when you are desperate for a goal 

Tuch played hard tonight. I don’t know what your watching. 

[Sidc3000]

I thought we were suppose to be optimistic?

BINGO!!!!

We have a good bingo. Are there any other winners? Any other winners?

That closes up game 58, regular bingo. Next up is the round Robin. Regular bingo or 4 corners with 12 passes in the O zone before losing the puck, paying 20 buck.

Good luck. And our first number 8s?

He wants Tuch to sprout wings and fly

 

 

An aggravating game all around; team plays a solid 1st and 3rd against one of the best in the league; UPL stones up the 2nd and yet we still lose since the refs have no idea what a ***** penalty is and have tissue paper skin. They can all go ***** off a short pier

He has zero courage.  I want a big man who will battle in front of the net.   I'll take KO to do that over Tuch

He’s playing hard I just don’t think he’s playing well.  He skates with Tage and Skinner and has 7 assists in 2024.  How is that possible?

[Gatorman0519]

Weird watching a talent deficient Philly team contend for a playoff spot and the Red Wings on fire while we still languish at the bottom part of the conference.

I want him to use his frame and create havoc around the opposing net.  He's a 6'3 perimeter player

He's a mobile big guy not a stand in front of the net big guy.

Greenway is the only player on our team that does this game in and game out.

I think this goes back to coaching. I really believe they are coached not to hit so they can keep moving. It’s a flawed system no doubt.

None of our so-called big men have the courage to do this.....we have to depend on our little 18-year old to get it done.  Thanks GMKA! 😡

I agree Tuch played hard. They all played hard. I also agree with @Getpucksdeep, the team is to much pretty identity.

It was officiating that lost them this game though. They had several chances to score, Skinner being the brightest example. They didn't capitalize. It's a theme thus season. Call it snake bitten, bad puck luck, whatever it's called it equals L's instead of W's in some cases. This game being one of those cases 

[CTJoe]

why did we get two penalties on the Benson penalty play?  Granato get an unsportsmanlike call?  I seem to be in the minority here in saying that shouldn't have been a call on Benson.  Montour interfered with benson, causing him to fall into the FLA player.  Should have been a non-call.  Refs were horshat again.

[Second Line Center]

Beat Tampa and we’re 9 out.  I know there are teams around us but only within 3-5 points.  Can’t worry about them.  
 

Beat Tampa.  This is the last chance to at least make this interesting.

Yeah he got a bench penalty. Screaming at the ref on a blatant penalty.

[Big Guava]

Pretty much the same game we saw them lose to them down the stretch last year that for all intents and purposes killed their playoff chances. Same score too.
