I would love to see Krebs center a line like that…
- Shadman306

Maybe even put peterka on line 2 and Benson on line 1. Always liked Benson on L1. Peterka is a shoot first guy and I think thats what Tage needs to be.

Gotta get L2 going.

my only problem with that is we got 7 goals from tage, tuch and peterka combined

we have 3 goals from all the other forwards combined and 2 are from greenway

greenway-tage-tuch
peterka-cozens-quinn
benson-mcleod-zucker


that third line would be fast

Maybe sub in Kulich for Quinn?

Good thing Quinnfan became Quinn's #1 supporter before I could, because being relegated to team Byram supporter is a better look right now

xGF% from last night:

Tage/JJ/Tuch 60%
Cozens/Benson/Quinn 51%
McLeod/Greenway/Zucker 23%
Krebs/Lafferty/Malenstyn 22%

Not a great sight. Road game and team's taking advantage of controlling the matchups.

The 2nd goal and 5th goals are inexcusable for an NHL level goalie.

It’s embarrassing how people think so highly of UPL.

He continually lets this team down and he gets a hall pass.

It’s hilarious.
- Sabretooth9

Agreed on the 5th, the 2nd wasn’t nearly as bad as you make it sound. As far as the team goes, they have many problems. I think it’s equally hilarious you think Levi solves all of them

Well done holding before making a rash decision. He's been awful in all but 2 games thus far. Here's to hoping he can pop back quickly. We're in real trouble if we have 1 top6 forward line.

You were told from every forward. You posted you want Tage to have 3 hits a night


That's 246 hits a year. Which is Ovechkin territory.

Does Tage look like Ovechkin?
- DirtyDan

Doesn't play like him either.

Tage 6'7" - 220+
Power 6'6" - 221
combined have 3 hits in 5 games.

That is embarrassing. No other way around it.

I thought Quinn looked good against the Panthers. Was throwing his body around. Aggressive on the forecheck.

But man did he look slow yesterday and all other games. Maybe all the effort mad him play slower than Okposlo yesterday?

Im still on Cozens not doing his job. Hes suppose to open the ice for his snipers. Now the wingers have to do everything.

"The Bills announced Thursday morning the signing of kicker Lucas Havrisik to the practice squad. This is the fourth team Havrisik has been on since he entered the NFL in 2022."

Fair to say the McLeod line did better than that stat line and the Cozens line did worse?

I thought he started to look like his old self against the Kings, but wasn't as good as the Panthers game.

And yeah, I think one of Quinn or Cozens needs to be going for that line to work. Both have the ability to haul along someone that's slumping, but not two. Benson hasn't been great in my eyes, even though his adv stats don't look as poor. Kulich, to me, helped get the most out of those two, so I'm hoping he draws back in soon.

Thats Buffalonomics when a rookie with 5 games played looks better than 5 year Vets

It's maddening. Think this is worth trying?

Benson Tage Tuch
Peterka Cozens Quinn
Zucker McLeod Greenway
Lafferty Krebs TheGuyWhoWasn'tWorthA2nd

Just looked at the non fancy stats...oof. Benson-Cozens-Quinn can't be a thing anymore.

Quinn 1pt -4 with 8 giveaways, only 1 takeaway! OOF!
Cozens 0pts -5
Benson 0pts -3

The only positive I see is that Cozens has at least produced 19 shots. 0% shooting percentage, but he's getting the puck on net more than anyone else on the team.

As a team, we have 74 giveaways to 30 takeaways. OOOOOOF!

Maybe even put peterka on line 2 and Benson on line 1. Always liked Benson on L1. Peterka is a shoot first guy and I think thats what Tage needs to be.

Gotta get L2 going.
- ZiggyBuff

It was my hope they were bringing JJ back to line 2 after his concussion due to Kulich practicing there and Benson practicing on line 1.

Not sure why they don't.

- QuinnFan

Probably, don't want to look at 1 night and dismiss the situational part. The Cozens line had their minutes cut.

Doesn't play like him either.

Tage 6'7" - 220+
Power 6'6" - 221
combined have 3 hits in 5 games.

- IonSabres

He doesnt need to play like him. I don't need Tage hitting periodt.

Power at least needs to start taking the body. Ya don't gotta put em on their a$$ Owen. Just fcvin disrupt the play. Tie em up out front.

I like how you tail away from your original post though. Show me just one team that has every forward putting up 2 hits per game.

It's maddening. Think this is worth trying?

I think we need to look into how to add kulich in the lineup and perhaps another youg gun from rochester

and keep greenway in the top 9

dead last on pp

22nd on pk

no excuse for the pp and pk to be this bad

I stand by what I said.
I'd love to see 2 hits from every F on the team every game.
Get involved boys, get your head out of your collective ass. Play energized hockey.

What's the worst thing that could happen.. go 1-3-1 over the next 5 games?

Im ok with it. Id like to shake things up some more. Not sure if Cozens and Quinn are fast enough for Peterka anymore?

Think im just a Cozens hater now. 2 years ago he was going to be the first Jersey i bought in forever. Now it would be…….Levi?

He's really driving production, lol.

Should tage have hit malkin on the wall in OT instead of attempting a flyby and taking a stupid penalty which was directly responsible for the loss?
