There is about 22 others to rail on for their play this season.

- IonSabres


Tage - severely underperforming
Tuch - I think this is his peak level of play, he will be a 3rd liner soon
Skinner - one dimensional, part of the skill set of abundance for the organization- he is severely overpaid

Peterka - performing well
Cozens - either checked out on this team or last season was an anomaly
Quinn - his career is done

Greenway - worthless
Mitts - he’s the best forward on a bottom 5 team, that might be his best compliment for his career
Benson - shouldn’t be in the NHL

Krebs/Robinson/Olo - are not NHL players, never will be

Girgs/Okposo - they are the virus that is described as leadership, ensuring the tank level of play continues

Dahlin is a dumb dumb

Power has no compete

Samuelsson - mismanaged 6/7 dman

Joker - mismanaged, wrong type of player for the team

R Johnson - not bad

Clifton/E Johnson/Bryson - not NHL players

UPL - a good back up on a decent team

Levi - shouldn’t be in the NHL

Comrie - mismanaged, useless

All led by an incompetent coaching staff who reports to an unqualified front office who is overseen by a careless owner.

I agree with everything except olofsson

if you can score 28 goals in a season, you belong in the nhl and the coach has no clue how to utilize you

You did well today washy, I agree on all but the bolded. We're drawing closer as time goes on lol.

Cozens' 7pts in 4 games is pretty tough to get around here. The kid is back.

PP being bad ruins him, and dare I say, Tage. Tage's one timer is Ovie-esque, and he is getting off a third of his usual shots now. Ellis being in charge of the power play may be one of the most ridiculous aspects of this whole affair.

No flow to the PP, they don't move their feet and there a bunch of Perimeter Pussies.

I think part of the issue is that they don't have a lefty to take one timers on Dahlin's right side. The opposing PK slides to Tage and they're getting away with it. Get Kulich on that side and watch the percentage climb 10%.

That drop pass zone entry is another matter. That needs to just go away.

Harsh.
A little too tough on several, spot on for a good number of them.

This is a wild take. He literally got hit in the numbers and fell awkwardly because of it.
- QuinnFan

He spun at the initiation of the check, towards the boards. Hertl is maybe 10% to blame here.

A 48 yard field goal isn’t a certainty either
- Swedish_Jesus

No, it isn’t. Like I said, if he has any faith in the kicker he should have tied the game. It would’ve been a mental boost for his team who was struggling in the second half. Every shot they showed of a lions player’s face after SF took the lead they looked like they’d already lost the game. They were fighting it and were misfiring the whole half up until that point. Going for the tie would’ve been a better call considering how the game was unfolding.

He's got his face towards the boards before Hertl ever touches him, he started spinning away when he was a few feet away. Hertl basically pushes his hip down so he's got nowhere to go with his knee. I'd say this is 50% bad luck, 50% getting hit from behind by Hertl. Agree to disagree I guess.

He got too far over his toes, had no stability.

Not really though, I haven't seen it but thought I would add my expert opinion anyway😁

- Jet Jaguar BD


He went to spin at the exact time Hertl goes to throw a check... its bad luck. Hertl, in his head has already made the decision to hit him and Quinn has already made the decision to spin. Spinning near the boards is never ideal, but its a hockey play. Sh!t happens. Terrible luck for the kid hope its better than it looked.

Then if he misses wide right, we’re sitting here talking about why Dan didn’t go for it on 4th down after he has all year.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

Also completely changes the complexion of the last 5 minutes of that game even if he did make the kick and San Fran may have still won.

We’ll never know.

Hopefully the 49ers beat the Chiefs two weeks from now, that’s all I got

the fact he was not a kicker for buffalo improved his odds big time
