  1. At this point, I just like seeing Tarasov doing well

  2. It is so, so important for us to get this next head coach right. We are overflowing with young talent but have had such a bad track record of developing it. Neither Pascal or Brad have shown to be true NHL caliber head coaches and we lost 3 years of building up cuz of it.

  3. Seattlekrakenlegend

    At least Tarasov is looking much better. At this point I wouldn’t give a shit if someone is saying “I won’t be a backup” considering he’s already asked for a trade. Gotta focus on the future now. Play him while he’s hot.

  4. This team needs a coaching and identity overhaul. They have the talent to play the style that Buffalo is trying to play, they just refuse to adapt to the guys on the bench. Can’t wait to see what this team looks like at this point next season.

    Looking forward to a new coach. Cuz out current one “doesn’t believe in open ice hockey”

  6. Fabresque_

    Can anybody tell me what this teams identity is?

    We have to get this new coaching hire right. This is a team that can be really good, but we have to start developing some of the younger guys and it starts with a implementing a culture and an identity, something we carry with us every single game no matter what.

    We haven’t won consecutive games since November.

    Wasn’t the worst wasn’t the best. Two softies by Tarasov but other than that he was really good.

    Russian line is solid. Team looked decent, had some bad puck luck and suspicious penalties.

    Oh well. On to the next.

  9. Hazy_eyePA

    Almost 19,000 people showed up on a Friday night to watch one of the youngest and worst teams in hockey to lose at home, again. 9 sellouts in last 11 home games.

    This fan base deserves way, way more from this organization. Sad he haven’t had a run in 24 years.

    Another season where we have to suffer through huffing dangerous amounts of copium praying to get a high draft pick while being forced to hold the doublethink of wanting to see improvement while wanting to lose every game.

    I’m getting tired of this every year, fam

  11. I’ve never left a sporting event early in my life but this season is testing me man.

  12. Dungeon_Beard

    How’s the top 5 prospects of next year’s draft looking?

    Tank for ???

    I am ready for this season to be over with. Its sucking the joy of watching hockey out of me. I am trying to still care, but its getting harder and harder. Wish they would have cleaned house when Jarmo was fired. At least than they could have abbandoned Vincents terrible offense and could play more open and free. We may have still lost as much, but it would be alot more entertaining and provide more optimisim for the remainder of the season
