Post Game Thread - Buffalo Sabres @ Los Angeles Kings - 17th Oct 2019 - Hutt-out Edition

I don't usually write these but these are my takeaways from this game:

  • We need to learn how to keep pressure after building an early lead. It seems like we let off the gas a lot.
  • Teams that have heavy forechecking and hittting need to be addressed as it seems like they just beat us into bad decision making and this is a necessity that needs to be addressed for the rest of the season to be successful.
  • Hutton was godly tonight
  • The Kings couldn't hit the net for their lives when it counted.
  • Eichle needs to not disapear as he seemed to do in tonights game, not blaming the player, but the Captain of the team needs to lead.
  • Glad to see for once we have depth scoring that can take us through games where our top lines don't shine.
  • We have to keep control of the puck more, wayyyyyy to many turnovers forced by the forechecking.
  • Shots need to be blocked more, 47 shots is ridiculous, thats a goalie mow down.
  • Glad to see unlike previous years we will come out strong after a bad loss instead of crumble.
  • Some of these problems are definitley due to the double header, and wear and tear, and jet lag. However I still believe these need to be addressed and are honest concerns.

End of rant. Take the W and run with it Boys!
