The d zone play just reminds me of beer league rec hockey. Power tries to make a pass at 70% power and effort and it gets intercepted. 100% power would’ve gotten it there. Why the 70%? It’s so confusing

Funny to hear the Utah broadcasters pumping up Thompson.

“Like Josh Allen, he will attract players to Buffalo who want to play with him and the young Sabre team.

“They are trying to get over the hump.”

Yeah, sure. Almost 14 years now.

Like Josh Allen, they had Eichel and Reinhart and ROR and Dahlin. They attracted ex-MVP in Hall. They signed a top free agent in Okposo one year.

But then (except Dahlin so far), they traded all those guys (admittedly, in varying circumstances).

They just look so ... disorganized? Tage just flinging it blindly to ... the other team's D?

I love Tage, but if there’s somebody who needs to sit and watch the game with specific instructions on what to focus on, it’s the baby giraffe.

Absolutely I love UPL. And I’ve been defending him for years as far as needing patience. Same with Levi. We’re going to have one of the best goalie tandems for a long time soon.

I’m just very, very upset about the power play coaching and the inability to get another player or two specifically for that who can help with zone entry.

UPL is better than Ullmark.

Absolutely. We had all the pieces we needed to drive a serious rebuild into something special.

Are you driving at something? You keep making statements that I think everyone agrees with. I’m just trying to figure out if there’s something specific you’re trying to convey.

It’s terrible, who is in charge of the defense. Also Krebs goes 100 miles an hour but he’s always out of control.

I’d call them the Keystone cops but at least those guys were entertaining.

Who was drafted by KA.

Oh, OK. I got it. You are defending Adams and the coaching staff as a whole. Which is totally fine that’s your prerogative. But you can be more direct instead of giving fortune cookie basic level statements.

Letting Skinner go this year was the right call.

Because, he sucks defensively. The amount of unforced giveaways by Power is on display game after game. He wasn't worth the 1st overall pedigree he was given, that's just playing out now. The factual play speaks for itself.
