it's pretty easy to tell who got bullied in school the last 12 hours


the team with the fewest hits last night threw 39


do you think this core could throw that many if needed


don't respond if you cant answer the simple question

Your post was responded to. Carolina ranked 30th in hits in the regular season and threw the body more in Game 1 last night.

Why couldn’t Buffalo ?

Being hard to play against will never equal hits.

Ever, ever, ever.

Sam Reinhart, Zemgus Girgensons, and Johan Larsson agree

Special teams are much more important than toughness.

If the Sabres were to get walloped in a first round playoff series, it would be because any time they took a penalty there would be a face off at center ice 40 seconds later.

The Sabres will become difficult to play against once they gain confidence. They are the youngest team in the league...everyone wants to sign a brain damaged Okposo so there is a Dad in the locker room, they need a protector on the ice...for now.

It's a reactive game, the chances players tighten up will greatly reduce once they know they have that security.

This allows the youth to grow into themselves and gain a chip on their shoulder making them tough to play against.

This likely happens when a team that doesn't regularly play a physical game decides to become one in the playoffs and gets taken out of their game, often making retaliatory hits that officials just love calling penalties on.

This is my issue with a team that normally plays a soft game suddenly deciding they are going to be tough, tough, tough. They're stop playing their game that got them there.
