Appropriate emogi, lots of tears

Couldn’t find a d man on the replay?

[7+6=13]

A bit messy but I see a lot of good work 

[GASabresIUFAN]

Our defense remains terrible.  

[Stads]

Oh great a graphic showing how we've dominated a team lately. That couldn't possibly bite us in the ass

[Carmel Corn]

I wish we had more than 1 line that hit people

[Stads]

Hit the ever loving net Tage!

Gilbert was the closest D man to Horvat

That’s a pretty sad statement for our defense…..since Gilbert isn’t dressed tonight.

[Doohicksie]

McLeod was a helluva pick up.

 

 

That is all.

Is he in the lineup? TSN's boxscore doesn't show him

Clifton got caught WAY up ice, he was basically in the Islander goal crease when they got control of the puck.

Samuelsson was the other D-man on the ice. I have seen 2 replays and have no idea where he was.

I have no problem with the D-men going to the net in the offensive zone, but ONE of you has to stay back.  Since Clifton was in so deep, I'm going to put this on Samuelsson for 'where was he' as he should be covering for his partner.  

Again, I havne't seen a clear replay of where everyone was on the ice yet.

EDIT: yeah, that one is on Samuelsson. He WAS on the blueline when Clifton went really far in deep, but then he pinched to the boards while clifton was still in deep. MAJOR BAD DECISION to try to pinch in the offensive zone when your partner is so deep. That is why there was no coverage.

EDIT #2:  ON the other hand, Samuelsson HAD Zucker behind him. It still was a bad pinch, but IF he knew Zucker was behind him maybe that is why he decided to pinch..Zucker just got caught flat-footed in the neutral zone and couldn't recover.

Plus, Quinn didn't play it well, the near side was his wing, he over-rotated in the offensive zone and left the entire near side of the ice open (where the goal scorer came from.)

I really don't have a problem with Clifton there.  That one is mostly on Samuelsson and Quinn, with Samuelsson possibly getting a partial pass if Zucker could have recovered better knowing he was there.

Sorry should have added /s.  I didn’t see any d men in the relay on tv.

Zucker had just moved to cover for Muel and isn't going to catch Horvat on a great day even lol. Not entirely sure what happened with Clifton.

Meh.  Cami rocks.

[Indabuff]

FFS they better score

[Bangarang]

Our PP is so painful to watch. Everything looks so forced 

[Sabres73]

Levi has been too casual when playing the puck

Our zone entries are terrible, but we don’t have somebody who can bring it in with speed and control

[Stads]

***k!!!

[mjd1001]

That may have been the sloppiest last 90 seconds of hockey I have seen all year.

[Gatorman0519]

Goaltending is bad this year. 

[steveoath]

Boo

[Bangarang]

We should be dog walking this team but instead we're losing because we are a pitiful team.
