RIP Fugu Buffaloed & parabola
Seriously... both teams are f***ing bad. Fans probably enjoyed it, but that was probably the worst hockey from a structure perspective. It was really really really bad.
++++ A win... is a win, I guess. Don't expect anything to change. Just be real with it.
----- DEFENSE: All over the ice. I'm even talking in the o-zone. Our awareness is brutal. We constantly get caught in deep because nobody wants to work hard to come back up high and rotate. That takes effort. The team lacks effort. They don't go all in from the neutral zone back. They don't communicate and end up duplicating coverage. They don't work to keep shots on the outside. They don't work to finish hits.
Bottom line... they flat out don't work.
++ Hornqvist: 2 goals!
+++++ Bottom 6: Kap looked fantastic. TB/Tanev are doing everything they can. Sceviour is at least producing somehow. But Tanev is the one guy bringing it every single game.
---- Sid, Letang, Geno, Jake, Rust: These guys get paid tooooo much to half ass it the way they do. It's effort. I don't care what the excuse is. You may not have 25 year old skill, but you damn sure better work.
