> “I just wasn’t executing,” Thompson said while sitting at his locker stall after the game. “I think everything I touched turned into a disaster tonight. So, tough one. I’ve got to be better. Just as simple as that. Just flush that one and move on.” > “It’s frustrating. You obviously want to execute plays and impact the game. Just fighting it tonight. You know, the puck bounces every time I try to touch it — just can’t get a handle on it — and it ends up in the back of your net. Just got to be better.” > Unknown injuries are always a potential caveat in hockey, especially in the playoffs. But Thompson is not going to reveal an injury, and he would likely be the first to acknowledge that an injury wouldn’t explain away some of his decisions with the puck Friday night. > The Sabres were in this spot before. Their worst game against the Bruins came in Game 2. If they’re going to find a similar response in this series, it needs to start with the best players. submitted by /u/DecentLurker96 [link] [comments]
