Hmm, well then maybe it should be concerning he seems not to be much of a factor.

Weber made some good plays during that first. You'd be better off complaining about Gionta with his crappy entries and inability to get a shot on net. Or Franson's inability to clear the puck consistently.
-
Yay! Fun. If this is what it's going to be like, let it be a long one. In other news, why are Eichel's shifts so short?
-
Jack needs a goal.
-
Risto!
-
Agreed. And their possession game is just yucky.
-
Eichel just had, like, a 10 second shift.
-
Gonna be a long night, me thinks.

Coller just needs to hang in there until Hamilton retires.

Foligno made the kicking motion with his right foot, the puck bounced off the defender's left foot, into Foligno's left foot, and then went into the net. I'm sure the pinball path the puck travelled was the cause for the review. My guess is, like a deflection off a leg or whatever where no other stick touches the puck before going in, the "shot" the causes the puck to eventually enter the net is what is scrutinized. So, since the "shot", in this case, was the kicking motion, they ruled it no goal. Which, I think, is fair. -

I've liked McGinn from the get-go. Big guy with some skill and able to keep up with the play for most part. Not a world-beater by any means, but a big body to match the oppositions big bodies and pot the puck once in a while. He's like their big, man-bear John Scott replacement. I said in my Xanax-inspired post in the Kane thread that his injury will force Bylsma to take a different approach to the lines. It seemed to work tonight. He'll have a better handle on how Kane fits in after Kane returns. -
Edmonton, as a team, has a little bit of a head start in their "rebuild" than we have. I'm sure Eichel's numbers would be better in this many games in that environment.

I thought D-lo did alright with Ennis and Ryan O'Who. So, yah, I agree, he should keep the lines stable for the week. -

Good game. Two major weak points being the soft goal on Johnson and Eichel's brain-farts during the second. Otherwise a relatively consistent game from start to finish. Hopefully Girgenson's goal will get the monkey off his back and he can start playing his game - I think he's been snake-bit up until today's OT. When there's real chemistry, you can see it developing. We're seeing real chemistry develop between Eichel and Reinhart. I'm not sure who should be the third-wheel on their line, but I suspect that Bylsma will throw Kane in with them (assuming he keeps that pair together) when Kane returns. I don't know WTH the league is trying to do, letting a lot of calls go. I wonder if there's some sort of dictum where lower-ranked teams are allowed to play sloppy because that's what they do, but I didn't like the boarding I saw from the Flyers sometime in the third that was let go. Glad to see Eichel caught the Flyer goon out of corner of his eye to avoid the hit. This was the kind of game I was waiting for where the opposition was clearly out to beat down Eichel. He seemed aware of that and pretty much avoided everything, but I'll be happy after this season when Eichel is a year older and wiser, and bigger and stronger and able to handle the riff-raff. -

I kind of like those lines. D-lo on the top? Can't say he hasn't earned a look there for all of the experimenting going on. I would prefer he and Larson swap, just to keep the kiddies safe, but Eichel did flash a little grit last game. Or, I would like to see Foligno with Jack and Samson. He has upped his game and is worth a look there. -
In the making lemonade department, this could actually help with Bylsma's tinkering. Kane is a known variable, as in we can pretty much predict how he'll respond and what he will do in certain situations. Removing a Lego from Bylsma's box forces him to explore the unknown variables he has: Eichel, Reinhart, Ennis (who is still unpredictable to a significant enough degree), Foligno (who refuses to be pigeonholed), and, to a degree Larson and I could argue McGinn. He also will be forced to think of the lines, matchups, and situations differently. Since Kane is a known variable, when he comes back perhaps Bylsma will have a better idea on how to use him.

The Sabres let Ted Black walk too soon.

With all due respect, I don't believe you never consider the market value of a player. I don't even want to search posts to rebut this claim, it's so...ridiculous. Every player has a market value that needs to be considered. The entire player acquisition system is set up around players' market values (which means how much they're paid, of course).

He certainly paid like he was attempting to solve a goalie problem.

Now's time to get clutch.

I expect a few wins sprinkled in with the loses.

Slew foot, then knee on knee.

Goalie hell. Pffffffffffffffffffffffttt.
