But I will rest easy tonight knowing the NHL still can't get anything right.

Thougts if the roll was reversed and decided our game ?

You’re overreacting
These guys are disappointing as a WHOLE
I completely agree
But it doesn’t mean all these players stink

This teams still has SERIOUS FLAWS that need to be addressed
- jdfitz77

Biggest problem I see, very few players seem to care, most are going through the motions, that is on the coach. To be honest, almost everyone is reminding me of the way I thought Housley played most nights. Little passion and very little urgency.

Don't worry, there were a few of us this summer who knew this season might be much worse than last season.

And after the first couple games, we were told that we were over-reacting.

I completely agree with the toxic environment. The toxic environment is the Pegulas. Sorry. You'll all realize this eventually.

A win is a win. Game play will be thrown to the curb by the time the next puck drops.

Because he’s clearly a better player than that
Of course I admit he’s struggling
That’s not par for the course with him

U really think he’s gonna end up with 10pts this year?
- jdfitz77

Sadly It just may be whatever was ailing him last year is still affecting him.

But....But.....the NHL network told me today that those kind of players are a thing of the past and have no place in today's game...


(frank) the media...in all its forms.

She’s not having a good game

New coach
West Coast schedule
Adjusting to teammates
We’re young
Coming back from surgery
Unlucky
Wait til Bogo is healthy


Let’s get them all out of the way

Watch the third period? Have a fire outside?



Fire it is. I'll follow you knuckle heads for updates
- Buffalo--Sabres

Don't bother, leave the phone inside and enjoy the fire. Hit record and watch after if something happens.

Jesus Christ!.....i actually agree with you

okposo and ror is the big part of the lack of secondary scoring


guys like larsson are doing exactly what they are suppose to do

same for 4th line
- homiedclown

O’Reilly is playing better

Okposo has yet to turn it around, but history shows he’s a good player
Not great, but “good”

Guys like Larsson & Girgs are fine,
but they’re placeholders for talent we have coming
They’re probably 4th liners on good teams

We have Pouliot & Griffith playing with Sam
If ANYONE expects that line is gonna produce (including Housley & J Botts), then I question their reasoning

Having a 3rd line that can score gives us the needed depth for when Jack or ROR and others on the top2 lines struggle

And they WILL struggle at times
EVERY single player in the NHL does

To be fair he said it in the pregame too.

Yes because it's the owners job to motivate professional hockey players to give a crap about their job.
This is on the players, they need to wake the hell up.

Major flaws

But this team is garbage at home in front of their fans regularly. (frank) them. Trade em.
- sbroads24

I think we should still be trying to fix the major flaws than scrapping the whole thing

Just my opinion though

my bad..i missed it....either way...that is such a bullpoop excuse.

- homiedclown

Even ROR, he is usually always around the puck, creating turnovers, etc. He looks nothing like himself, maybe thats his line mates maybe its something else. He just looks like he could care less.

That's what the official explanation said

- chilliard77

Thanks. Never knew that. If that's the case then Okposo shouldn't have been offside earlier. Not that he would've scored bit still.

It’s just frustrating.

I’m tired of looking forward to these games.

did you watch the sharks, kings, islander, devil game?

pretty similar to this one in many ways



it's a roster murray built, and it's not working

shake it up

I’m not at all saying these guys are “untouchable”

Don’t get me wrong

I just think it’s premature to “blow it up”
