After this shit show I need to see the positives against an actual team that matters before believing in any of it. Until that happens beating up on a Sabres team helmed by Lindy Ruff is whatever.
I'm evaluating the player on what he contributes to the team.You shouldn’t be evaluating every player the same way. You should be evaluating every player compared to their own capabilities. Jack was f***ing pathetic compared to what he can be.
This reaction is complete lunacy. Go touch some grass holy shit.I love how the thing we traded for to stable this season still f***ed us this game.
Markstrom was god awful. Beating Buffalo doesn’t change this team might just be a joke with mental midgets all over starting with the guy with the big C in his chest.
Jack will be fine. It's not the first time he's been quiet for a few games before. That line has actually looked better overall than I expected it to, although I still have my doubts about it long term. I still think I'd try Timo with Nico and Tatar, but we'll see how the next few games go.
I do kind of worry about the lack of speed in the bottom 6, especially against quicker teams.
Average goaltending which they got tonight will win enough games to make the playoffs. Efforts like that in the third down a goal or two won’t get them very far in the playoffs.No it didn’t. It looked like a team that wasn’t playing its best game down by two goals to an opponent that doesn’t suck.
This isn’t even the same team. Half the defense core has been upgraded. The bottom six is completely revamped.
There is quite a lot of talent on the roster. The head coach is a proven commodity at least in terms of winning regular season games. We’ve already seen more structure and commitment to defense in these first three games than at any time in Lindy’s tenure. There’s no rational reason to believe this team is going to be like last year’s.
Also, I find your take kind of funny because my recollection is that you were one of the posters who most consistently said that the main thing this team needs is just some competent goaltending.
My man, teams down by two goals in the third literally lose 95% of the time. I don’t know what your expectation is there but it’s clearly not reasonable.Average goaltending which they got tonight will win enough games to make the playoffs. Efforts like that in the third down a goal or two won’t get them very far in the playoffs.
This team has one good season in 10 years and the same dog shit issues it’s had since then popped up today. Spare me. Theyre mentally soft as shit.This reaction is complete lunacy. Go touch some grass holy shit.
I think I would ding him on the second goal. He probably should have that one. I know it was a flash screen but I don’t think it hit off of anyone ?I must have watched a different game lol Markstrom was absolutely not God awful. Those first 2 goals were insane bounces.
That's fair lolI don’t ever want to see anyone talk shit to me about being negative ever again.
Like I said, touch some grass. Maybe listen to a good tune. Learn a new hobby. Whatever it is, you need something else in your life if you’re this strung out about things this early on.This team has one good season in 10 years and the same dog shit issues it’s had since then popped up today. Spare me. Theyre mentally soft as shit.
The takes to start this season so far have been friggin unhinged. First it was that meaningless preseason tilts were a sign of the apocalypse. Now it’s baseless comparisons to last year three games in where the only time the team didn’t look fine was on the first game back from Europe against a quality opponent coming off their own opening game loss. A game which they still only lost by a couple of goals despite not playing well.
I don’t ever want to see anyone talk shit to me about being negative ever again.
No one is concerned except the joke guy. Some people think if you talk critical or don’t like what you saw you already write the season off. Talk about ironicI would not be concerned
Keefe’s teams habitually start slow
Why you on here then if you think the same thing will happen with this new roster and coach? Why bother posting the same stuff? I don’t see the point…This team hasn’t won more than 2 games in a row in about a year. Had a rookie goalie in net and a team that just played last night and they give them a 3 goal lead in the first period lol. Just truly horrific devils hockey.
I can simultaneously be doing shit, lounging around all while also shit talking about an underachieving mentally weak hockey team.Like I said, touch some grass. Maybe listen to a good tune. Learn a new hobby. Whatever it is, you need something else in your life if you’re this strung out about things this early on.
Oh boy....
Sheldon looks pissed off already. 2 and a half minute only press conference, walks off with that pissed off swagger. Started mellow in the conference but left looking as angry as we've seen him so far.
Offense not good enough, defense (whole squad) not nearly as hard enough, bad with the sticks, not hard enough on plays. Lack of offense is bad play in d and neutral zone. - Sheldon.
Absolutely nuts. Last year the team won these early games but the structure looked like complete ass…nothing in these first three games has looked like that, we have upgraded the talent in just about every area of weakness, we’ve brought in a coach who’s proven and whose strengths align with our biggest needs, they won the first two games…yet somehow this is just last year all over again, even though most of this board didn’t even think last years team was that bad if it weren’t for injuries.Game 3 of the season and it feels like we've just been eliminated from the playoffs lmfao.
Is it going to be like this after every single loss? Jeez.
Oh boy....
