Waited too long to play with intensity. It's March and every game should be played like the final 10 minutes.
The Third period was like they finally realized this game mattered.
Jet made 1 mistake but he kept the team in the game. Lots of great saves.
Which is a shame, because it has mattered since the Red Wings games.
I mean we started 8-0 in shots vs Vegas and conceded on the first shot, that deflated them
We played well against NYR, but that bad early goal by Tarry / Severson also derailed the momentum
Very tough loss. I noticed Fantilli had some chances and passed off. On a 2 on 1 he just can't pass to Jenner when he has the better shot. So hope he learns from this.
We all know what will happen this year right? We will struggle for the next 4-5, then go on a winning streak at the end of the year and miss the playoffs - BUT THINK OF THE MOMENTUM THAT BRINGS FOR NEXT YEAR
Worked well for Buffalo

The draft pick is cooked anyway so a late win streak doesn’t matter.We all know what will happen this year right? We will struggle for the next 4-5, then go on a winning streak at the end of the year and miss the playoffs - BUT THINK OF THE MOMENTUM THAT BRINGS FOR NEXT YEAR

I’m more concerned about how we’re going to get to this spot next year again. Because I think that’s a tall task
100 PERCENT
WHICH is why I wanted them to actually DO something at the TDL. This league is too good to just hope for next year.
Thats the thing that sucks even worse about this. They arent playing all that bad. Just unbelievably snakebit right now.

Buffalo went through another offseason where they came out looking cheap and incompetent.
I think there is a kind of momentum you can get where it can have long term effects. The kind of momentum you get where players are drawn to your organization because they think these guys know how to win, when you pair those wins together with big offseason moves.
We have the top offensive talent and the elite #1D - which are not things I've said before heading into an offseason. The pieces we need to get to completely round out our roster are very gettable. I'm not convinced that Wads will be aggressive enough to get them, but it's doable, and that's more than we've been able to say before.
I won't get into commentary about whether we can compete for a playoff spot next year, because it obviously depends largely on what we do with the roster. Unless you want to debate whether our top talent is good enough (I don't think it's much of a debate).
