What's the problem with this team? Scoring

What did Ennis, Bogo, Kulikov do in terms of scoring when they played? A whopping 3 points between them?

Eichel is huge, O'Reilly has played most of the year. We are still 30th in goals. Not 25th, not 18th, 30th. This teams got problems yo

Of course it has problems every team has problems that are multiplied by the injury bug.



I am laughing at the end of the world posters.

Is there not a chance that this team could get pretty good when fully healthy? Or have we lost all hope and we should just fold the franchise.

dose of pessimism: we have an 8 game winless streak against the blues (0-7-1) per sabres.com

I think a healthy Jack and a fully healthy RoR would go a long way. We have some definite needs (holes on defense), but lack of forward depth IMO is nonsense. Baptiste and Carrier have impressed me and if we can lose some dead weight then add them back in I think we would be competitive. Only way to tell is wait.

I'm not folding.

don't even lie you want to see them burn

I just want them to step the (frank) up lol (Sam)

I know it's pointless To hope for a tank we won't get the first overall pick

I'm just hoping the coach gets fired

The Tampa Bay Lightning (11-11-3 record at the end of November last year, 18-16-4 at the end of December) having missed the Stanley Cup by one goal in the seventh game of the ECF, offer your analysis the following:

I think there is a good chance of that. Problem is you should never plan on having a fully healthy team

You must of forgot now he's trash now you want him off the team

Ennis?

He missed time, came back fine then got a concussion...

90 percent of a person’s body weight is supported by the tibia, the high-ankle sprain is much harder to heal than its low-ankle counterpart.
- GERBE!!!75PTS

So because a person's body weight is supported by the tibia, coming back a little early means he will never be the same player his entire career??

Whatever you're smoking I want some.

Even IF and a big IF he is only 75% the rest of the season, he has the entire offseason to let it heal completely.

The big thing you need to know is it didn't require surgery to fix, it's not as bad as you think.

Ennis?

He missed time, came back fine then got a concussion...
- Stripes77

You got the player right but he did not get a concussion he reinjured it

Why thank you it has happen way to much for way to long. I am happy to see Okposo doing so well with you guys and Moulson seems to be a little resurrected this year as well. You have a great coach some great young forwards this is going to be a great team real soon
- kasperrko

I'm sorry, you are not allowed here with this attitude.

You have to piss and moan about how this franchise is never going to be good.

Also bring up some terrible prospect we traded away and how he is going to be great.

I think there is a good chance of that. Problem is you should never plan on having a fully healthy team
- sbroads24

You're right to an extent.

Every team has injuries.

However if it was say Brian Gionta and Bogosian this team would be fine

But losing Eichel and ROR/Okposo and Bogosian that's too much for any team to really recover from.

so let's rush him so we can re-injure it and he'll be ready in December time next year

Right now, this is too much. I won't blame them for getting blown out (if they do)

But just missing Eichel and Kane, while sucks, shouldn't mean never scoring

And the only way Sam can be good is if jacks back ..

Am I doing this right

You're right about the last part for sure.

They should be scoring more that's a given.

Sam is playing well, just not on the score sheet.

Listen it can always be worse. You can the Islanders with no direction. I see great things for this team looking on the outside. Does the team have holes? Of course they do every team does they are not perfect but this is going to be a team to mess with real soon. Eichel is one of the top players in the league you made some key additions. I dont know why anyone would be upset over this team nothing but good things with this team

so let's rush him so we can re-injure it and he'll be ready in December time next year

You seriously need to start taking Xanax

Irregardless!

I think there is a good chance of that. Problem is you should never plan on having a fully healthy team
- sbroads24

You also shouldn't plan on 4 of your top offensive 6 and two of your top 6 on defense to be out extended periods of time all at once too.

No one is rushing him. It is 6-8 weeks time he would miss.

It is week 5. he is probably still at least a week away from returning.

Which would be when?

Here is the breakdown on this.

Jack going down hurt and hurt really really bad.

However they should have been able to survive with a healthy ROR, Kane and Okposo, the problem is 2 out of 3 of those guys have been hurt at the same time as well.

Throw in Bogosian (who is always injured) Ennis, and Kulikov (thanks to the damn door at the Key Bank Center) you have a team that has to play for 2-1 games...

It sucks but that's the reality, there isn't a team in the league that could play at a their normal level with those amount of injuries.

Sam is playing well, just not on the score sheet.
- Stripes77

So if this was Jack struggling no one here would complain ?

He was drafted to put up points not be Sammy pahlsson

This sounds so familiar When people would say grigorenko is playing good

Then people would he was drafted to score

Hypocrites
