How about them Predators... Stamkos, Skej, Marchessault... 0-5

They'll get it going, but imagine if we did that and were still getting trounced, yikes.

When you consider they have Makar and a tight cap, it's not such a crazy thought.

It's absolutely bonkers in my eyes. If you can get a 1D for a 2C, you do it as many times as you can.

arniel has the jets 5-0
berube has the leafs 4-2
bylsma has the kraken 4-2
green has the sens 3-2
keefe has the devils 5-2-1
evason has the blue jackets beating us

and we bring back the ex, and sitting 15th in the east with a soft schedule to start the season

Hates Byslma... brings him up cause a winning record 6 games into the year


Im trying to figure out what this has to do with Rasmus Dahlin and why you would change the subject to go on a negative rant about the last 13 years.... We've all lived through it brother.

dahlin was 10th in scoring for d men last year

beat by guys like matheson, dobson, bouchard, morrissey

it is time to stop thinking dahlin is the one of the best d prospects since bobby orr and question if he is the savior or just an overpriced d man now lacking production

it's not like he is great in his own end

Top10 in scoring on a bad team means he's a top10, #1D. That's worth multiple 2Cs.

'Same old Buffalo, FA signs here and only shows up for the pay cheque"

Im not sure they'll get going very much. All their good players are getting old.

Tied first on the Sabres in pts. 5th in goals scored. More telling to the cast around him then what he did.

every other team is getting a bump with a new coach

but the sabres


pretty safe to say dahlin is suppose to be the star of this team

I mean he may be tied with clifton for 4th in d scoring on the team, but it's an issue

who is our pp qb?

who is our highest paid player?

who is our captain?

but at least the captain can beat up a 4th liner in practice

Yes D-men typically play more.

Exactly. It would actually be funny to watch him play on a powerhouse. He'd probably be the Bobby Orr he was slated to be.

why does this team suck?


still waiting for answers


I mean they do suck and show no sign of being a fringe playoff team, let alone a contender, again

This team sucks because:

1) We have no 2nd line right now
2) We have no shutdown D
3) Our goaltending isn't stealing games, as other teams can
4) Our assistant coaches are arguably the worst set in the league
5) Our PP is dead last
6) Our PK is bottom 10
7) We trade for guys like Malenstyn so our 4th line is always poope
8) No star power beyond Tage who is borderline
9) Development is horrid

Dahlin is NOT a reason why we are bad. He's the reason why we haven't been picking top3 more often.

Take less penalties. Score on your PP chances. Save the shots from bad angles. Get more wins.

They've been more than fine at 5v5. Currently top 10, tied for 5th for scoring at 5v5.

I think this is the 3rd time I've now mentioned, hes playing hurt. Looks to be a hernia.

Thank Krebs.

Not good but still top 3-4 in possessional metrics on the team.

Offset heavily by what they are giving up 5v5.

49.4 xGF% at 5v5. 47.7% at even strength. Slightly below average stuff.

NST numbers. The one's I listed are xGF.

They have GF% at 51.5. 18th in the NHL.

HDCF% and SCF% both near 55%. Both top 10.
SF% bottom 5.

Pucks to the net not the shin pads or high n wide.

wouldn't ruff cut his ice time down if that was the case?

Sports hernia is the rumor apparently. That's why I'm willing to give him a pass for the lackluster start. He's trying to power through and it isn't working. Hopefully it doesn't require surgery.

It probably just a matter of time until it does. He isn’t going to heal while he keeps playing

put him on ir for a week or 2 then

call up Novikov or Johnson


playing him 25 minutes a night is not going to heal it
