I think we all got numb to Myer's athletic uniqueness. He is a special player and has been on display all year. On a bigger stage in Winny, and on an even bigger stage now.
(Editor's note: this has nothing to do with the trade. I am excited as anyone about Eichel/Kane power play. Just sayin.)
-
Anybody who watched the final game want to provide a Dude-like report?
-
Damn Calgary has got some good kids.
And that team just keeps coming.
Impressive front office performance to turn the ship around that quickly. A few great drafts and smart surrounding cast acquisitions. Come on Timmy!
Very entertaining game. Hard hitting spilling over into some brawls. Teams aren't fans of one another. (understatement).
-
Bennett looking special :/
-
Amen. Shouldn't be a thread. Eich is probably looking at these boards in disbelief at some of these ungrateful posts. He's one of a kind and will be the face of our franchise for a decade. Making Buffalo new Hockeytown USA, and not coming with a remote threat of wanting to continue career in Toronto once rookie contract is up. Also, Jackie Eichel is a much stronger name!!
-
Omfg, wtf!!! Brickley is between the glass for the Wings/Lightning game. I'd rather listen to Pierre!!!
Haha, nails on a chalkboard. He knows his stuff at least. Much better than the team that did the Hawks/Preds game last night. His biggest detriment is how big of a homer he is (and obnoxious Mass accent), but hopefully that was eliminated with the Bs.
-
That was the common thought when he came up in Nashville. Clearly hasn't lived up to it despite the flash in Buffalo's system.
Yes clearly. Always thought of as prospect though and you can see the similarities in their style of play, especially how they handle the puck. Franchises try to catch these more mental backends (e.g. Bishop, M Smith, Varly) when they discover their confidence and game. Sometimes all it is is the environment. Hoping Lindback found his comfort zone here, and I wouldn't be surprised if he got a contract.
-
Thank you Dude!
A little discouraging to hear about Sam's strength, but not totally unexpected. On the other hand, looks like Larsson's next level is here to stay.
-
-
Lindback reminds me a bit of Rinne. Hopefully learned a few things under his wing there. Hoping to have him on the team next year.
-
Anybody know who he was playing with? Would be great to see him and Larsson get a little chemistry going.
-
It was an exchange on Twitter. Wasn't sure he was serious at first because it was in response to a sarcastic exchange between Jeremy White and Matthew Coller but he got agitated when he was questioned. When asked to elaborate he wouldn't saying it was still too early.
I wouldn't be too worried at this point. It could have been someone just voicing surprise at how far away he was from an NHL product early in the year.
Thanks for sharing. It was pretty clear his body wasn't ready to the big leagues. The Reinharts are known for their smarts and character, but may take a bit longer to develop physically. Excited to watch him in the next Amerks game.
-
Interesting. Time will tell I suppose. I will always wonder about Reinhart and Bennett.
Bennett was one of the best players on the ice Wednesday.
-
For what it's worth, John Wawrow. AP writer, reports that some within organization have expressed concern over Sam's development
Link please?

A lot of prospects playing right now in London/Erie matchup. Stream here.
-
Penguins stumble continues, coughing up a point in OTT. Things are tight enough in the playoff picture, that it looks like we'll get a full-go Penguins squad on a back-to-back. Hope it's sewn up Friday of course, but if not, there's still a bit of comfort in the dreaded final game scenario.
-
If you're not ecstatic about Eichel, you don't watch minor hockey or you can't evaluate talent or you can't read the pages and pages of scouting reports. So which is it Andrew Amerk. Can't watch, read or analyze (hope you're not blind)?
Like many have said, the whole goal of the tank was to ensure Eichel. I've trained myself to like his franchise story even more. A boon for USA hockey after what has been a decade of strong national momentum, right here on display in Buffalo. Match this with all the work that Terry has done with the Harbor Center and the organization has done in attracting U-18 events here and this fantasy tale could very well end with a new Hockeytown USA.
-
This is carrion league they lost, which is good.
There's 3 games left. Let it go.
-
Wow, that's just unexpected and great.
-
Take care of business tonight and Monday becomes the all-important game. Fairly confident about CBJ on road (they are playing well) followed by PIT at home to end this awful season on a back to back.
But Carolina. At home. Please, to the city that shouldn't even have an NHL franchise, let alone a Stanley Cup winning franchise: you owe us for 2006. We gave you a Cup. All we ask is for you to win (real terms).
-
My God, huge W tonight.
Like how this SJ/ARI game is a home and home. There's been a little testiness tonight, and that should carry over into tomorrow. And any emotion we can get out of this lifeless Coyote team is alright in my book.
-
Alright. Let's get blown out and discouraged for rest of season. And let's get some good news with the Yotes ripping off a point, eh fellas??? A point is all I'm asking for!
-
Bernier seems to be tracking the puck well. That's good.
Weber just had a good look that he obviously didn't do much with. Do you think he would celebrate in an over the top manner as an additional FU to fans?

I swear to God Meszaros.

Eich reminds me a lot of Getzlaf. :)
