Of course Tuch misses the net on a breakaway 

Seems like he misses the net way too much right.  Love to see a stat  that  shows %of attempts are on goal and another that measures percentage of goals against the attempts.  When you look at Tuch he has 17% shot percentage but the denominator is shots on goal.  How many like this break away never get counted as a shot on goal b/c it’s wide.

Too bad Jack decided to become goal scorer when the season is over 

I share the same cynicism on epic Sabres finishes to a meaningless regular season, but Quinn may actually just be getting back to what he was before his injuries so I’ll cut him a little slack.

a loss in this game lies at the foot of the GM. Having Bryson, Clifton and Samuelsson 3 or your top 7 is criminal neg

They're 3 of the top 7 whether Dahlin is in the lineup or not.

And the other 4 are all first-round picks including #1 who will get Norris votes, a #1 who is still 22 years old, and a #4OA who has already won a Stanley Cup. The composition and age of the D-corps is an issue, but Bryson, Clifton, and Samuelsson could all be a part of a good corps if the big three were all age 26 and over.

Fine 🙄 I guess I can give him a little slack 😂

Dahlin contract looking like steal.

Radio only with Dunleavy is brutal

The NHL Network guess are worse. They were talking  about a concert back in the 80’s

I know people hate Dunleavy but I have no issue with him on TV. He’s not great but not terrible. When radio only though he’s really bad; I can’t follow anything when on the radio.

 

Part of this truly is being spoiled by most the team’s history broadcast history being done by legends

Couldn't even tell you who assisted in quinns goal. It was so bad. 

[Doohickie]

Are these the Philly announcers?  They're horrible.

Semi.  They look incredibly disorganized without him.  If it was one game okay, but since they’ve lost every game without him…..

Oh man UPL ...

With respect   Bryson shouldn't be in the NHL, Samuelsson and Clifton are bottom pair plugs at best.  You can have 1 but not 2 of them on your club and be expects to be a playoff team

That also is partially due to the old guard all retiring practically. Most new age announcers aren’t truly play by play guys but more or less narrators who occasionally trail off on tangents.

I forgot the game started at 1.

Yeah they are brutal. Two old farts taking a trip down memory lane. Oh by the way there's a game happening.

[Broken Ankles]

Bernard-Docker - getting the gloves up to close the first.  Little things. Playing for a job.  Maybe the trade is a wake up call for him and the effort grows each day.

Interesting assessment. Never thought of it that way. Sadly these guys are in their 60’s and rather talk about life 40+ years ago than actually talk about the game

Absent sickness or an unforeseen event, how does a young player with experience miss a team meeting?

The writers and perhaps a few here know if Quinn is a screw up, a party boy, or just looking to get out.

Will be surprised if he is still around next season.

The fact that Adams is going to bring back the same defense is nuts.
