[Lysowski] Erik Johnson (BUF) : « Eh bien, je pense que nous serons capables de marquer des buts comme celui-là la majeure partie de l’année, mais tant que nous ne nous serons pas engagés dans la défense de l’équipe, nous n’accomplirons pas grand-chose. »
Erik Johnson: "Well, I think we’re going to be able to score goals like that most of the year, but until we have a commitment to team defense, we won’t accomplish much."

Ain’t that the truth…
Johnson went on to say:
> “I think for us, as a team, to take that next step you make the play that’s there and when the simple play is there you make it,” Johnson explained. “Sometimes we try and overcomplicate it and we have a lot of skill in this room and that will take over when the opportunity is there. … We have to commit to defense and when you do that, you will get offense and you will win. I don’t have all the answers, but I’ve seen a lot and I’ve experienced a lot. I try and share some of those experiences, but it takes everybody, including myself, to do that.
The shitty passing through traffic, which didn’t work all night, is what I think he is speaking to. It’s funny because Razor said at the start of the game Calgary was going to play a simple north/south game and it worked. Buffalo tried to do too much.
This franchise is just so entirely frustrating to love.
We have our core, we have the right GM at helm.
I just think we need to aquire a #1 goalie, we need to aquire another solid top 4 D man.
We also need to get somebody in that coaching staff that knows defence.
This team is not over, the sky is not falling but the time to act is now.
We are currently in a evaluate and adjust.
We will be an awesome team once everything is complete.
The problem is they just over hyped the fuck out of our guys and have completely floundered in light of those expectations.
No more excuses, no more Bryson as our 7th.
Aquire talent
Push our young guys to conpete and build a winner.
