  1. Surprised the idea of keeping Johnson received a page of traction.
  2. Phew. Doesn't seem like that long ago when people were clamoring for Mouls/Eich. Amen to that. A comment earlier mentioned how shallow the forwards are (and no doubt they are), but that is a lot of talent out (or maybe, hopefully not out). Would be pretty interesting if Ennis can return to form sometime this year.
  3. Good second. Growing pains. Positives in Lemmy's first very strong game as a Sabre. Sound positioning throughout (although flailing his 6'4 frame a bit in chaos). Hopefully, a couple more like these will start to turn the overwhelming pessimism on the Board. Eich continues to get more comfortable with smart puck possession (although still a number of lackadaisical turnovers followed by lazy attempts to get back to the puck). Looks dynamic on the PP (7 PPPs in last 10). Sound D until the shell. No doubt the group continues to get better. Good game from the 3rd line. Gionta with some good burst. Moulson sighting!
  4. Don't think theres a bigger waste of space than Moulson.
  5. Worst game from McCabe in some time.
  6. Really unimpressive Bs squad right now. They were really living off their PP.
  7. Awful sequence for McCabe and Frans there.
  8. Just watched the first: I'm one of the bigger Kane critics here but when he is on, he is on. It gives you hope that he can weave his immense individual skill set into the team game. Taylor Hall, with a similar forceful high-skill game, has done just that this year, and is a point per game player. Is there anything more enjoyable than Eich and Sam cycling the puck? The two are yin and yang in style, but man is it fun to watch them develop together. I don't have kids but I understand the true joy of fatherhood. Bogosian is a neanderthal on skates, all broad shouldered and hunched. He's mostly solid in the defensive zone but man is he awful on the pinch. Not too gifted offensively.
  9. Kane's game is so frustratingly counter productive
  10. Fine with our PP1, but the second unit perfectly showcases the lack of offensive depth on the team.
  11. Auston has looked very pedestrian so far; as has Tkachuk. Only two games in, but you can see AM getting frustrated. His puck control is all world, but his play and awareness around the net appears to be lacking. Looks to definitely be a step down from the skill of last WJC (which may go down as one of the highest skilled junior tournaments in recent history). Puljujarvi looks to be the top prospect after two games IMO, and I'd be ecstatic if we somehow lucked into the #2 pick.
  12. This Hawks broadcast is brutal. How many times can you comment on the crowd and Zemgus's weird "foreign" name?
  13. How does Reinhart take the puck away so easily?
  14. Eich is a baby giraffe. More awkwardness than elegance at this very early stage in his career.
  15. Reinhart is going to have some beaut assists over his career. The difference between his blind passes out of the corner and Kane's is massive. Talk about two different ends of the awareness spectrum
  16. Johnson in goal.
  17. My god what a beaut from Sam.
  18. Much better. And he is tracking tonight.
  19. Bouncy puck tonight. May be a couple ugly ones.
  20. The goals will come, the goals will come....
  21. Kane's game is square peg through round hole. Maybe its what we need with the finesse of the team. But it has been pretty frustrating (for me) in his short Sabre career.
  22. Thanks for the GDT guys. One observation from the last few games: Sammy Reinhart's shot. Not sure if it's been discussed but goalies seem to have trouble reading the puck off his stick. A much heavier shot than I noticed in Junior (limited scouting). As I'm sure with all here, I'm very excited to watch this line continue to grow tonight. They were the best trio on the ice after the first period last game and only stand to get better. Go Sabs!
  23. He was absolutely gassed. He's had a strong game.
  24. Uh-oh here comes the GIonta flames.
