- Michael Pachla

Agree, and it's looking like we can add Borgen and Bryson.

He’s checked out.... don’t even notice clank for 7/8 of the game.

He's looked slow all year. Saying he's just checked out is avoiding a big issue.

It's funny, the complaints about Lindy were the exact same as Ralph. This team is every bit as soft as la core. Throw an AHL goalie in for extra fun.
- Lunaion


eight years later with all of those changes, nothing changed:

While watching Buffalo struggle in Ottawa last night, one could see that there's something weighing heavy on the team.

Perhaps it's the weight of high expectations gone south or the seemingly constant struggle to find their identity. Perhaps its the burden of a fan base left wondering what the hell it did wrong and clamoring for something, anything, to cling to.

Or, the team could be struggling because of the heavy weight that's upon the shoulders of their coach, Lindy Ruff.

Whatever the cause, this team is stumbling right now.

Sure, they came out strong Tuesday night, like they've often done in years past. But a failure to pot a goal against a hot goalie left them frustrated, like so many times in the past.

That frustration traditionally leads to brain-cramps in the second period. Sure enough, Ottawa scored a shortie in the second.

Then a familiar refrain of nervous uncertainty followed by another quick goal against.

You know Reinhart is scoring at a 36 per 82 game pace, right? But who needs goal scoring?
- Wetbandit1


WET1- reinhart has played well this season.

Having reinhart as "a superstar that sliped away" is a joke.

To be on a list with hasek. Come on guy.....

I’m a firm believer that Jack should stay in Buffalo and see this through. Cozens is a gem and Dahlin will settle in to be an elite defenceman. It may be a couple of years more to wait for this team to really be contenders but these 3 are worth holding on to.

And they do have pieces coming up through the system, it's time to reset some of the foundation.

Hot take: cozens is the next girgensons :

8 goals 14 assists 22 point type pace this season
15 goals 15 assists pace next year in 61 games pace

and everyone will love the kid and want him to be captain

Besides cozens looking decent for a rookie

I can’t even think of anything positive to say about the team or anything
