Eric Staal was an awful 2C acquisition.

Has there been legit any upgrade to Marcus Johansson?

They just can’t figure out how to get centers

- sbroads24


I disagree. Johansson was terrible and didn’t fit in at all

Is staal old and a little rough around the edges? Yes.

But Johansson was brutal

It’s something I’ve noticed the last couple games. The players act like they are going to a funeral after we score


I’ve been watching becoming a B (Bruins behind the scene show). Each goal they celebrate and are genuinely happy

Sabres aren’t like that at all

Now to think if this team got some more puck luck before the COVID outbreak we’d have 2-4 more points and possibly might be singing a different tune right now

Its just a miserable that people can't enjoy the 1 guy our franchise has hit on in 10 years.

What a joke of a fanbase.

- Boss34


I think most on here appreciate his goal scoring prowess on the PP.
It is when you insist he's a Top 3 player on 5v5 that knowledgeable fans take issue with it, given he has played the vast, vast majority of his time with Jack and Sam on 5v5 and has ...less than 10 goals to show for it.
He's a 3rd liner and PP specialist...nothing wrong with that and I certainly enjoy him burying the puck in wide open nets playing with a man advantage for 2 minutes in the offensive zone.

Point something out genius.


I think something big is happening. Wink wink

- Boss34


I think you need to reverse courses and look for things he does well 5v5. His one elite skill hasn't translated at all to even strength.

I think olofsson's skating is under appreciated.

Getting shots and putting himself in scoring position is really his game.

The shot is elite.

I'm good if you are 🤝

Is there something wrong with calling out where deficiencies exist in a players game at a specific point in time?

Look at Josh's stats last year.
He fixed it this season...good on him, the kid is impressive.
He must have noticed the same thing to improve on it....or is he an idiot too for recognizing reality?

Next, I'll be an idiot for calling out that Bass has issues kicking off the right hash mark and on 30-39 yr kicks.
I have confidence he'll fix it, but it was fact last season.

Are you normally like this at work being overly retaliatory?
You Indeed Bill must be extraordinarily high, lol.

Surely you see that just hasn't been effective at even strength. He doesn't get his shot off. He has one 5v5 shot tonight and I don't even remember it.

His speed is average.
