CARTER'S POST GAME INTERVIEW....

Buffalo is definitely going to be one of those teams that is going to be bad forever.

 

[Appleyard]

I don't want jinx that, but if we miss playoffs it would be historical fail.

So did I jinx that now?

They probably just need 3 wins from here on out to make it... 95 points is most likely WC2 cut-off.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Imagine if we get to 11 straight wins !!!!!!!

Put it at 40% chance.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Put it at 40% chance.

I will Not be happy !

Our goal differential hasn't been this good since 2004. There's no way AV doesn't win the Jack Adams this year.

 

[Striiker]

How many of the goals did AV score?

If Jackets miss, would think the vote would be unanimous

Thanks for giving us something even more ridiculous than the Human Sabrepede meme. Risto makes Manning look like Bobby Orr. Literally the dumbest player I have ever seen in my life. But I was in Danbury tonight and ran into a guy who the Sabres should bring in just to beat the hell out of people and make our games somewhat entertaining:

(Any longtime Philly hockey fans should recognize this guy, think the Phantoms actually retired his number).

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

He is the Sealer for a reason.

Capt, can you put Braun here?

Minus an off night from Kevin "Globetrotters" Hayes, probably too focused on his doggo cookie after the game, it was pretty much a top 6/bottom 6 divide when it came to the underlying numbers this game.

Grant had an xGF% of 6%. Through 6 games, his -21% relxGF% is only better than Stewart......by a hair. He's certainly made a few "wow" plays to show up on the scoresheet, and my eye test doesn't say he's been that bad individually or is devoid of talent, but our 3rd line cannot keep getting caved in like this every game in the details. This is with team best zone starts, for those in that camp.

I think Thompson has looked pretty cooked skating-wise, especially on the PK, but somehow that line with Raffl and NAK has been pretty damn good 5v5. I reserve my paeans for those wingers, whom I am still confident can drive play with inanimate objects. I don't think Grant will have issue with them should he rightfully get bumped down, but that 3rd line......woof! Not to belabor a point, but it desperately needs a skill injection to benefit from our top 6's domination. It will bite them eventually.

Thor!, Part 2.

 

[flyerslducks]

i didn't know referee's don't blow the play dead when the goalie loses a blocker or glove. That could've ended really bad for us.

If only we could find a skilled center somewhere.

Lets see if you get a different response after pointing this out.

 

[Striiker]

We have 9 wins in a row, why do you want to make changes? Would frost have given us 10 wins in the last 9 games?! The team literally can't do better than they are right now. This is perfection.

Just enjoy the wins. The coaches know what they're doing.

That image on the left is made for you.

Jake: "We've got to be better".

"But we won... and they don't ask you how."

After a 3-1 win. He is not wrong of course... nice to hear though.

Wonder how many people said that about us last couple years lol.

Full game highlights will be up shortly.

And that's missing how many starts while injured?

 

[prototypical4thliner]

Obligatory. He was exhausted.
