I think he blocked a shot late that ricocheted back down the ice Rousek, Vinnie, or Kulich? Place your bets.

Part of the organizational message over Adams and Granato’s tenure has been about winning the fans back and being entertaining is part of that. I think consciously or subconsciously that has led the team to press and has contributed to the troubles on home ice.

Overtime win vs Minnesota. Insane action and the roof came off when VO smoked one with 15 seconds left.

Corey Pronman in The Athletic had him going late in the second round in his mock draft. I imagine Leinonen has got more upside than some want to credit him with.

That’s a shame.

Ok. I will put him in the same place many had Ullmark and UPL. He is already 19 after all.

Pronman mocked him to Seattle in the second round at pick 58 and many saw him as the best goalie prospect in the draft. Perhaps he’s got more potential than some think.

Carolina in back-to-back games this year - 6 wins and a shootout loss to Vancouver. Yikes.

Duff on Sabres Live today said Carolina is 6-1 or thereabouts on second game of back to backs. That’s impressive.

You said the same about hiring Granato. Catch phrases are annoying.

I personally don’t see the humor in it but this one is going around and several athletes have been mentioned, Diggs among them.

At the end of the game they scored two. After a decade+ of crap I’m fired up for a fast exciting team with a huge young goalie that’s made all kinds of strides and grabbed the number one spot.

I had a boss that had a severe stroke in his late 30’s. Ended up quadriplegic and unable to speak but with intellect fully intact. Using adaptive tools he started a stroke survivors network. He lived another 30 years in that state. Prayers that Kim recovers as much function as possible.

Seems like we are at the point of expecting too much from goalies. It was an uncontested laser from the top hash mark of the circle. Credit to the shooter.

Bring him back just on the basis of this moment!! edit - those uniforms were spectacular

I acknowledge the hat trick he had and then see 4 goals in his other 37 games. Even with his intangibles that’s not enough for a middle six power forward and by this time next year I expect to see him bringing less on the ice. Love KO.

I think grinders can be replaced as needed (not at will, but as targeted) and that his contributions on the ice will be less next year than they are this year. Would rather next year have a grinder that is younger/faster/cheaper.

KO is clearly an asset at this point merely based on intangibles. I don’t think that will be sufficient to keep him in the lineup next year. His job as a mentor has been completed successfully. Next year leadership should be handed over to Dahlin and Cozens and KO’s place taken by someone younger, cheaper and faster.

I want him around just for some ABBA in the air. Love it!

Reid is a master play caller. He will get Henne in a position to succeed. Will he is the question.

Lacking desire and not into it? Good heavens man.

He’s going to score soon and take off that much more. Would almost like to see him be less patient. Stud in the making.

One man’s glider is another man’s grinder. I think Mitts hustles his ass off all over the ice.
