Buffalo is still struggling and lacks bite in the attacking game. The club is fighting without injured team captain and attacking star Jack Eichel, who looks set to be gone for a few weeks to come.
Last night came the eleventh straight loss when the Washington Capitals drove over the Sabers with a full 6-0 and now speculation is in full swing about coach Ralph Krueger to be fired within the next few days.
In a column in the local newspaper Buffalo News, which Aftonbladet took part in, columnist Mike Herrington launches a fierce attack on the club and the players.
“This was one of the worst Sabers games I’ve ever seen.” The two teams that deliberately refueled and wanted to lose made better efforts than this one. He said you should wear a ski mask when you get paid, because you are thieves. He was right. You’re stealing money ”, he writes according to Aftonbladet.
Heavy night even for the Swedes
He then continues the sawing that everyone involved should be ashamed. The owners because they let the organization collapse, general manager Kevyn Adams because he just talks but does nothing and coach Ralph Krueger because he never gets angry, no matter how lousy the team plays.
The team’s Swedes did not have a successful evening at home in KeyBank Center.
Victor Olofsson was -4 while Rasmus Dahlin scored -3.
Rasmus Asplund was called up from the farm team and had to make 116 changes in 14.17 minutes on the ice.
He checked out of the ice with -1.
