my take of the 6 to 2 loss to the rangers Please tell me what you saw

Created by: gretzkyghosts
Team: 2019-20 Buffalo Sabres
Initial Creation Date: Oct. 25, 2019
Published: Oct. 25, 2019
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Panarin and Trouba totally out played Eichel and Dahlin
When will Jack stop making blind back-handed passes?
When will Dahlin learn how to play defense?
It was very nice to see Scandella and Sobotka on the scoreboard, but where was everyone else?
While IMO the game was much closer than the score, there were a lot of lazy Sabres on the ice.

@Big_Euge
@F50marco
I am including you because you gave thumbs up to the comment above.
I am calm, did I not say the game was a lot closer than the score? I commented to my GF that they totally out plays the Rangers in the first period but went to the locker room down 3 goals.
Maybe I watch the games too intently, but I noticed that they play better against skating teams and play poorly against hard checking teams (Jackets, Ducks and Sharks).
Jack again has managed to disappear on the road, I was wondering if any one else noticed what I saw.
That is not the first Eichel back hand pass that has led to a goal nor the first time Dahlin has played poorly. So again I was looking for feed back regarding the game LAST night.

Its seems a little like you are overreacting by the description. If you have to write up an AGM with this description after every loss, your gonna have a long season.

Long story short, its one game. No biggie. Doesn't need to be discussed really.

I wanted to get feed back on my observations of the game.
Let me add, that my eyes tend to favor the Sabres and since it appeared to me that they out played the Rangers in the first period I was hoping I could get other thoughts to either confirm or help me to correct my eyes.
Let me add, I told my GF before the game that I thought the Sabres would lose, so I am not surprised about the results and the game has not soured me on my thoughts that this team will be in the hunt until March and will most likely make the playoffs.

Yeah its fair idea, just comes off as overreacting as the team only lost twice all year. You can bring up the discussion, just don't be surprised if people aren't that eager to discuss a small blemish on a virtually perfect season thus far. wait till the team is actually going through a tough time and you'll get more feedback.

And yes I got your comment. I was only asking GMTD because my notifications get weird when ever he comments or @'s me and I wanted to test something out with him to see if it happens again.

I can respond to you now.
I posted this obviously before the team went into a 10 game tailspin.
I was commenting not only on this game but also on the deficiencies I noticed in the previous games.
I was actually hoping for more feedback other than, chill out!
You may want to check but I also posted https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/1515803 just before the team snapped the losing streak, with essentially the opposite message that the team will win again once the “puck luck” returns.
I did not get much feed back then either.
The PK and PP has been better.
Secondary scoring is obviously better.
No has more pts than Jack over the past 10 games. This is how a captain leads a team when the team is faltering, not say “I lost my love of the game”.
The team will go through more rough spots, and more wow are they good stretches as well. They will be close to a playoff spot.
