DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted January 19, 2015 Can we all admit that there's a huge jump from the AHL to the NHL, that scoring a ton in the AHL doesn't mean a guy will score int he NHL, and sendPulinnen back down to learn how to do more than try to fire a slapper every time he touches the puck in the offensive zone? Kid needs to settle the @#$& down instead of trying to shoot the puck through the goalie's chest every time. 1 brett reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mvanpop 98 Report post Posted January 19, 2015 I enjoyed how the red wings collected themselves and dominated but I with McCollum would've been tested more to see what he can do. Or at least face more shots to inflate his stats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P. Marlowe 748 Report post Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) 9 wins in the last 12 games. I'm glad that after the awful 1st period they didn't go the good ole Canadian eating-lumberjacks-for-breakfast-with-Don-Cherry-pie rote throwing tantrums and "sending a message" and actually worked hard to salvage the situation. I also know that I'm quite late to the joke. Edit: Also this from TSN.ca: All 11 of Buffalo's defeats during this skid have been in regulation. The last time a team lost 11 in a row, all in regulation, was when Pittsburgh dropped 13 straight from Jan. 13-Feb. 12, 2004, according to STATS. I wish Sabres will win soon and one of the Penguins greatest records stays intact. Edited January 19, 2015 by P.

sleepwalker 512 Report post Posted January 19, 2015 I talked to my buddy in NY who is a Sabres fan this afternoon, and he said most of the fans out there are furious. They have completely turned against the Sabres brass and are accusing them of intentionally tanking to try to get McDavid for their "rebuild" In reference to the Sabres brass, the phrase "disgrace to the Sabres brand" was mentioned several times in our short convo...

Kid needs to settle the @#$& down instead of trying to shoot the puck through the goalie's chest every time. Thing is, he's at that point where all he's going to learn in the AHL now is bad habits - rather like Mantha spending last season in the Q rather than the AHL. He needs to learn how to play his game in the NHL, and the only way he can do that...is in the NHL. There was a moment in the STL game where he skated over the blue line, wound up for a shot, and was instantly surrounded by 3 Blues who stripped the puck and set off the other way on an odd-man rush. He won't get the space in the NHL that he gets in the AHL. He won't get goalies ducking out of the way of his shots like he does in the AHL. He needs to figure out how to play his game at this level. Having said that, we have no room for him right now, so once we're healthy he should go back down. 2 derblaueClaus and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ami 273 Report post Posted January 19, 2015 Poor leadership. Euros tend to relax more than North Americans. Just look at how many hours they work on average over there. Need some good North American boys to lead once in a while.........no I haven't been drinking.................Datsyuk and Zetterberg need to not be so passive with this group. laughed my ass off (and you too)!!
