Decent game. Missed a lot of our chances and played decent defensively, all though the way it should be against Buffalo.
We got unlucky a bit with the third goal and some bad calls against us but the first 2 goals shouldn't have happened either.
Holland has been great. Seems like the puck follows him around, just like Kadri last year. He's very poised with the puck and can deke in a phone booth. Really impressed by him. Easily worth the 2nd round pick.
It's tough to see the Kadri, Lupul and Raymond line struggle but the other 2 lines are clicking well, so I understand why Carlyle doesn't want to mess that up. The only other move I would do would be to put Ashton there instead of Raymond, but Raymond would be worst as a 4th line player, so that doesn't work. Kadri and Lupul just need to go back to their success from last year, which is skating and intensity. They haven't showed that recently. They also overthink plays, trying to pass when they should shoot and vice versa. They have been fairly unlucky as well on their big chances. Kadri has probably missed 3 sure goals in the last 5 goals.
