Odds of JJ developing like Grigorenko?

well thats a take I guess

 

[Fezzy126]

That a boy Casey, nice hit

Odds of JJ developing like Grigorenko?

I don't see that at all. Better wheels.

me leaving work "oh i'll only miss a minute or two, no big deal"

Tampa: lololololol

 

[GrierIsGod123]

Good teams make us look very predictable and deliberate. The pinch don't work on them. Goaltending is back to being all over the place.

We've been figured out ... Donny has no adjustments or we're just mediocre in terms of talent. I personally think we lack elite talent outside of Dahlin, so against the best teams we get exposed. This team still needs actual first liners.

 

[dortt]

Most NCAA goalies, even the two who have similar save %'s as he does both took time in the AHL to refine their craft. Expecting him to be a savior is folly.

And no. Neither of Kulich or Rosen are close to ready.

they cannot be any worse than Peterka has been the past 2 months

Pretty low.

we need second liners aside from Cozens

They aren't even ready. They're closer to where Peterka was at the start of last season in the AHL now. They aren't ready and shoving them into the NHL is not going to make that happen.

This team has zero defensive instincts whatsoever. This is Doug Weight Islanders level defending.

It's possible we're almost at the point where Donny has to show he can coach a playoff caliber team.

 

[Fezzy126]

A lot of doom and gloom in this thread, I feel like they've had a decent start minus one breakdown

 

[stokes84]

Did they forget to read their scouting report on Stamkos? Like, that’s he’s on the other team?

 

[Intermission]

Jiri Kulich is 18
Only down 1 -0 though

 

[Sabreality]

Got to the 1st TV timeout only down 1 goal, its the little things

It seems like Vasi is a little bouncy with the puck tonight. A couple of times things have come off him and been in and around the crease.

0 shots on goal is a decent start?

 

[Gabrielor]

Similar to every game we play a more experienced one; they're hyper aggressive on us and go to the net.

Can they weather the storm and counter is the question

 

[Chainshot]

Hey, they aren't down 4.

The balanced lines might not be letting guys get their chance with Cozens. Try a kid line, and give the 2nd line of Mitts-Cozens-VO a chance to move up or down depending on who's going. We ain't winning the cup, so don't coach scared.

 

[GrierIsGod123]

That too...but I don't think Thompson and Skinner can hack it against the good teams as the primary scorers. Just my opinion.

 

[Fearnot]

lolol Sabres eating crosschecks to the spine for lunch

 

[GrierIsGod123]

First shot at 10 minutes in? Good to see they figured out what went wrong the other night.

 

[Chainshot]

Power with the deflection.

Blame your GM .. they could of started the rookies out on the 4th line or something... somewhere they aren't relied on so much. But no they put them in this position and then we have people screaming to trade them on here
