Buffalo seems to be that team that no matter how much they've "improved" in the off-season and hockey people are predicting them to do well, they end up sucking.
Who said they improved? Kevyn Adams is the worst GM in sports not just hockey. Should not be near a front office. Buffalo hasn’t made the playoffs in 13 years and likely 14.. they look horrendous. They legit look worse than the Sharks and Jackets
 
Oh, same ol' same ol'. Nothing he could have done in Los Angeles. Things just didn't work out with the Kings. His lack of self-reflection is disgraceful.

I just don't think Jake really fit on the power play with the Pens. He wasn't horrible, but he definitely wasn't supplanting Sid or Geno in their spots, he's not a point guy, so he was kinda just left to work as the slot/net-front dude and I don't think he's really suited for it.

I think he'd be fine if he was the exclusive bumper/slot guy, but Sullivan seemed to insist on him being the Hornqvist guy standing literally on top of the goalie.

Tampa uses Point as the bumper guy, but typically has a Paul/Killorn as the net front guy. They don't throw 5'10 Point in front of the goalie and let him take a bunch of abuse all 2 minutes.

He already had a 100 assist season. It's the highest scoring era since the comical 80s. This would be the era for him to do it.

But let's not let this deter us from shitting on goalies during the highest scoring era the last few seasons.


Looks like it's the dreaded high ankle sprain for Celebrini. Bummer.
That's unfortunate for the lad.

Meanwhile, Bedard trying to do the Michigan goal in his first game, lol. Priorities.
