Post-Game Talk (GBU): Hurricanes - Sabres 11.14.2019

[Sabreality]

How on earth do you have ERod taking d zone draws multiple times in OT and not put in Larsson (and then let him switch)?

 

[Sinter Klaas]

U: The Penalty Kill - Good for a goal against or two per game. Unacceptable. Too many passive players that are not willing to block shots, dig down in the trenches, hit, etc. that you need on a good PK. That is essentially a microcosm of this team.

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Risto loves hitting Russian players.

 

[Howie Hodge]

"An experience that will serve as a positive moving forward..."

The Good: Leafs suck too.

 

[Chainshot]

We need Botts to get off his hands and do something. He took all of last year to wait and see, he made some good moves in the offseason but we cant have another wait and see season. We have too many defenseman and not enough scoring, Theres talk of teams wanting E-Rod and Scandella, he needs to make a damn move, even if it's just a minor move, shake something up show the team we arent waiting and seeing again this year. Find out what Jersey wants for Hall, look at Winnipeg and Anaheim and see what they are willing to do for defense, everyone outside Dahlin and Joki should be available on defense, someone will have a middle 6 scoring option available.

Don't expect much. He's been punting for three years. One day, someday... maybe. Just wait. It's coming.... maybe.

 

[Kyndig]

G:
Risto in beast mode all game
Olofsson 3 straight games with ES points
Lazar > Suckbotka and Vesey Leino
Joker
Montour
Erod in regulation
We got a point?

B:
Hutton
Eichel's body language all game
Faceoffs
Erod in OT

U:
Fluke goals against game after game
Refs boning us game after game
PK boning us game after game. CHANGE SOMETHING FFS.
Haven't won a game in nearly a month..feels like last year all over again
Risto in beast mode all game so refs take him off the ice.
Reinhart ejected/Johansson injured thus leading to Erod getting walked in OT

 

[Sabreality]

I'd seriously take Vanek & Pominville right now over Vesey & Sheary

We have no cap flexibility at all. Any move Botts CAN likely move right now is probably nothing of any significance and won't alter our trajectory.

Read up on the Winter War.

The time to shape the roster was in early June.

 

[Not Sure]

Don't expect much. He's been punting for three years. One day, someday... maybe. Just wait. It's coming.... maybe.

That's it though, he keeps kicking the can. Everyone knew last year Housley wasnt the answer and he refused to make a move until the offseason, where would the Blues be if they had that mindset? He should have made a coaching change the minute he found out Q was available. This year it's going to be the same thing "we will watch how the players work in Krugers system and evaluate at end of the season" I can hear it in my head already. Not saying Kruger is the problem and I think he is what we need at coach, just tired of the approach they are using. I dont give a damn if they trade Eichel at this point, they'd get a kings ransom and everyone would immediately understand they are expendable.

Sorry just venting because I'm tired of this crap, I dont know how Edmonton has done it for so long. I seriously have tried watching other teams but they all look better than us and theres no emotional investment with other teams. I think I should just stop watching hockey all together.

 

[Not Sure]

That makes it all so much worse. Knowing we are at the cap and look this bad on a regular basis is infuriating.

The conversation about Krueger's system has already come to the surface with them retaining players who were drags on others like Sobotka and Scandella and Ristolainen last year. And then they acquired another poor choice at forward in Vesey, soaking up more cap space.

He's made this roster. He's given them two backup goalies, too many defensemen, a pop-gun offense that's lead by two outsized contracts. I'm still waiting for him to be the hockey mind we were told we were getting.

 

[Zman5778]

Could be worse. We could have the Leafs cap issues. At least all of our cap issues dissolve once the season ends.

Yes, and they have all of these guys percolating up from the minors to take those UFA's jobs and contribute. Wait. Shit.

 

[Buffaloed]

It may have cost us but I like Reinhart's anger more than Eichel's sulking.

[EichHart]

Rodriguez played well and Joker that's about all I noticed from row 8 of the game. Eichel was absolutely terrible. The refs were equally as bad.

 

[joshjull]

Hopefully a rejuvenated Erod Added to a healthy Mojo leads to a good 2nd line. Assuming they would be kept together.

 

[Selanne00008]

Every single time I see Vesey on the ice he is shying away from contact, falling and not pressuring anything. He is useless and either doesn't wanna be here or doesn't have the urge to play hockey it seems. How can management not see that and simply call up ANYone hungry?? ASPLUND? Anything??

 

[UnleashRasmus]

I am sick and tired of Hutton, and Ullmark. They need to get rid of this f***ing trash. So much for a good start.

I agree, Vesey sucks balls.

I'd almost want to put this version of E-Rod with Mitts. Keep Skinner and MoJo together. E-Rod with Mitts. Rotate Sheary and Vesey through those 2 lines until something fits.......or one of them gets hurt and we call up Tage?????

I blame his parents. Never name a kid Jimmy.

 

[Vito_81]

Need to see 4 points this weekend to believe that this team actually has playoff potential.
