Good God...
u guys just like to b!tch & complain

First,
The Sabres played pretty well

Second,
Jack’s line was on the ice for nearly a minute from 2:18 to about 1:25

At that point, they changed on the fly to O’Reilly’s Line... which held the puck in the offensive zone until there was 20 seconds left

Did u really want them to make a line change with that little time left?


What an absolute dumba$$ comment to say “why wasn’t Jack out there?”

Sorry to be harsh...
but if you’re gonna b!tch,
at least make some damn sense

Yeah, Eichel got caught out on a change. That I understand.

Tennyson being out on the ice anywhere near the last minute when down by a goal is inexcusable.

Last last call: Anyone interested in joining my yahoo fantasy hockey league? (free league)

Draft is tonight at 8pm est, first week starts Monday

Few spots left, and to be honest anybody joining would be doing me a huge favor helping me fill the league!

Ok, that’s fair
I think most of us question why Tennyson is even in the lineup
I’d like to see Fedun playing

And what’s up with Guhle?
Is he playing so bad that Redmond needs to be here in the lineup?
Bc he’s pretty mediocre too imo

So maybe switch the 2 lines? I'm no nhl coach but I know I need my best on the ice the last minute. Wtv. Maybe you're smarter than me.

The position where they are holding the post.

They expose the upper part of the net. I never understood why they teach that when it's better for a goalie to be just standing up instead of down on a knee

- Stripes77


Yeah it's how they coach the goalies to hold the post. Can also give a gaping 5 hole.

It was just a great shot by Couture. Plain and simple.

The other team gets a vote too.

Before Jack’s line came out at 2:18,
O’Reilly’s line was out there

Are u really gonna hold Jack’s line off the ice to make sure they’re out there at the end?
Or are u gonna get him back out there ASAP?
Housley did absolutely nothing wrong there

It’s not about me being smarter than u
It’s about actually watching the game & not jumping to a reaction that’s unjustified

Well it blows that we lost...

But complaining that we suck when we actually played a good game seems quite illogical to me

I don’t care how well they played. We don’t win hockey games

Well the first step to winning is playing well

I’m not saying I don’t get your frustration...
but b!tching that “we suck” when we “played well” just doesn’t make sense

It's not hard to call 5 out and put 15 out there when we have the puck. I was watching. I'm not dumb. I've coached before.

It's just not how they do it.

Players don't go to the bench when they have a broken stick either when they absolutely could take 8 seconds and do it in the 1st and 3rd periods.

I'd lock the league now. We have 8. If you have an odd number it won't let you draft. Unless they fixed it in the last 2 years.

I hate when stickless guys do that. You're completely useless without a stick. Get off or get a stick!

When the puck is in the offensive zone & we’re putting on pressure...
you’d risk pulling a guy off the ice & having them potentially clear the zone bc of it?

It’s not like it was the 2nd period where the bench is right there

I doubt that’s a risk any coach would take

I understand the instinct to want Jack out there...
I’d have rather had him out there too
But game flow just didn’t allow it

You better tell them to hurry up. I think the league locks an hour before the draft.

That's fine. I'll give it to you. But you can't defend 5 being out there.
