My thoughts through 3 games?
A. Meszaros, A. Benoit and C. Hodgson are simply awful.

Only so much room .

After failing to catch on with the Boston Bruins while on a camp invite, Leino has decided to sign with Medvescak Zagreb of the KHL, according to Sportnet's Chris Johnston (via ProHockeyTalk).

Be sure to catch the Buffalo McDavids versus the Carolina Eichels, tomorrow evening on NBCSN.


Hurricanes are sitting Eric Staal tonight for an undisclosed injury....in other words, let's see whose tank job is better.

maybe buffalo should recall goaltender Connor Knapp for a one game contract to play tonight

one young d man gets less then 15 minutes
the other young d man can't crack the lineup

mitchell starts out on the second line

I have seen more organized hockey games at the local YMCA leagues

mitchell is horrid.. i don't understand what we are doing with him and reinhart

keep going

The only players you can't say have been horrible are ewok, zem, ennis, Myers and I think that is it. But all have had a few misses as well.

It wouldn't surprise me if they waive Benoit and play Strachan till Pysyk gets healthy.

So what we're saying essentially is that Magic Man isn't so magic after all?

Strachan had a good camp from the people that saw him.

Shake and bake ?

I didn't hear the post game stuff, but it sounds like Meszaros and Benoit will be sitting tonight. So that would put Strachan and Zadorov in. Can't possibly be any worse.

benoit is supposed to be a 7th dman... not out there on the PP and PK every time.. but i guess everyone had to play on the PK yesterday because we took like 12 penalties..

SOG
Anaheim PP - 9
Buffalo - 12

I'd also sit Hodgson tonight, play Flynn and Mitchell. Send a message.

Dont see how it could.. we have been atrocious in our own end.. break out passes have been bad and they can't gain possession.. Myers has looked good a few times on bringing the puck through the neutral zone and in the offensive end but other than that it has been pretty bad

I know mitchell isn't supposed to be hodgson.. but he has been terrible as well.

Hopefully once Pysyk is healthy, he helps in that department. That's pretty much his bread and butter. Great outlet pass. God knows we need it. Badly.

Yeah, when Pysyk was down in Rochester, Ehrhoff was the only one that seemed to know how to make one last year.

I don't expect much out of Flynn or Mitchell but Nolan has to make a gutsy call with the lineup, wake some of these guys up.

IMO I still don't think they will tank, Nolan won't let it happen and it doesn't help with the kids and there learning. Why most on this site are pissed off by what is happening the last 3 games is beyond me, this is what most have wanted why are people complaining?

bring back brian campbell, if were gonna lose like this, it's better to watch players from the glory days.

Also myers thoughts...he is a small bright spot of this team.. id like to see him stay, dont force yourself to fill another top 4 D man this summer

Just typical Buffalo fans . Never happy . Most wanted the tank and now don't have the stomach for it . Tank away as far as I am concerned.

Some aren't, many who are do it because the team isn't just losing, they look like poop.

happy about the outcome... but we need to be playing well and losing because of lack of talent not because stewart forgot to lace his skates or mccormick didn't know he couldnt cross check someone from behind
