It wasn't the goals or the breakaways for me.
At one point, Ennis gained the zone and tried to skate it through 4 Jets who were in a PK-like box formation. Sure enough, he turned it over. I got pissed because I've grilled Ennis for doing this **** in the past.
But, then I watched it again. Ennis tried to skate it because he had no play. There were 2 or 3 Sabres standing flat-footed at the blue line. No one went to the net for a pass or rebound. No one headed to the corner for a dump and chase. No one circled behind him or followed him so he could dump it back.
And t wasn't the end of the shift either- no one was going to or coming off the bench.
It was perhaps the laziest hockey I've ever seen.
