I looked at the score in the locker room after my game and I gotta tell you, all I could do is laugh

Just frustrating. They played themselves into a position where they have a realistic shot, and then they play some of their worst hockey of the season.

As frustrating as it is for the fans to watch, you've gotta think the tension is about ten times that in the locker room.

What's really frustrating is the possibility of inactivity this summer.Adams, rightfully, is in love with the future of this core. Always talks about the prospect depth and building from within. Which is fine. That's great.What I'm afraid of the belief in the core so strongly, that they don't identify weaknesses and work to improve on those weaknesses from outside the organization, because prospects that can help that are "in house"That would be a catastrophic mistake.

Not choking. You have to be good to actually choke.

They have to learn how to play Defense as a team. That's in addition to the Goalie issue. No more false beliefs.

That can only be established in summer camp with some new faces and maybe coaches on the roster. Can't play D and cannot kill penalties. Nothing will change until work is put in.

Exactly. But you can teach defense while you're teaching offense. What is Granato doing? Because it seems there is a lot he is not doing.

I get that Jeff Skinner is never going to be defensive forward of the year, but my goodness.

I've tried to format this several times, but formatting on mobile sucks

UPL deserved a star in yesterday's game vs a very good Ranger team. Held them to just on goal in regulation.

And I'm not sure what Dahlin was supposed to do on that penalty he was given in OT. He dropped his stick immediately. How is that a hook? It looked like the Ranger cradled his stick, held on to it on purpose to get the call. Holding on to the opponents stick should not have caused Dahlin to have a penalty.

This team misses Tuch so much.

We're not on Bedard watch. And quite frankly, with what we have in the pipeline, I don't WANT him here.

Columbus or San Jose, IMO, have a better shot to land him.

Stop listening to JATM and his Reddit Sabres rumors. He also said Dahlin was day-to-day. Both guys played. Only Samuelsson missed.

Sabres a different team when Tuch is in there. Thompson, Cozens and Dahlin all looked livelier last night.
