    Oh yeah, no reason to panic. Whats the worst that can happen? We drop a few while Tage Is gone and miss the playoffs? That’ll be okay. Idk what I’d even do seeing Sabres hockey in late April

    The goaltending has been so interesting because I’ve felt you can feel almost immediately if they’re on. You see Comrie, UPL, and to a lesser extent Levi, absorb shots, control rebounds early and they’re great all game. Then you’ve seen them booting rebounds wherever, getting the back of a skate on a puck and it looks like it did last game.

  3. Asking for a friend. How much does the injury to Tage, getting Kane or not, play into Benson staying. Or is Benson staying independent of those other things? If it really is more about winning now, vs development, can they send him away?

    (Edit: And if he truly is our best option, does it give any one pause that an 18 year old jumped over all of our other prospects?)

    There’s every reason to panic. There’s a malaise in this team. I can count on two fingers the good games they’ve played. That’s worrying
