Number 1 difference between this year and last year.................... Everybody is ticked off when we lose this year....... AWESOME, that is probably no good freaking Bylsma's fault too :rolleyes:
-
Not going to stick up for that but at the same time those 3 didn`t lose the game Sorry to be a killjoy but we moved from tied for 30th to 25th with that point Very good post
-
Horrible call but 2 back to back horrible passes by Risto also. I have to admit the Bylsma hate is getting old too
-
That and adding Kane to his line
-
2nd half of that period went alot better than the first portion, hopefully they'll keep it up

Feminists are ok with the way Shelby was attired as long as the person acting as her supervisor/owner wasn't mandating she wear said attire.

I know this has been said several hundred times before but DD likes the 2 man lineup and moving the 3rd guy around, he's keeping ROR and Samson together, Eichel and Girgs plus Kane and Larsson. So I'm sure in his mind, he's not changing anything with the rash of minor injuries we seem to occur lately. If there's anything good about it is we haven't had a catastrophic injury since McCormick. (Oh puhleeze don't be jinxing anything), I still have faith Ennis will be back this year.

I feel like I'm falling into the sticking up for Bylsma trap, it may have been nothing more or less than a reward for being the best line on the team since the All-Star break.
-
I thought that was great, are you paying me back for the Montreal GDT complement??? I'm torn on the Eichel on the shootout spot. I agree he's our most skilled player and should be on the first threesome but I also like the idea of Bylsma making him earn the spot and not just giving it to him. Now it may annoy the fan base but I think in the long run it'll make Jack a much better player. Let's face it that point we may or may not have lost isn't as important as making him the best player he can be. Oh and before I forget, SiZzlEmeIsTEr that was hilarious.

You don't give a rookie anything, he needs to earn it in practice.

The positives: Since the 2nd half of the season has started the Sabres are 6-4-1 Since Kane has been moved to the 3rd line, that trio has 6 of the 13 goals scored in the last 6 games.... Kane 3 Gionta 2 Larrson 1 Kane is the only player in the league to lead his team in SOGs and Hits Girgensons looks like his old self since getting teamed up with Eichel. Since Pysyk came back to the lineup the eye test says we've become smoother and faster in getting the puck out of our zone Our 4th line is showing energy with Nicky D back although he played less than 6 minutes yesterday

Colorado Red works for me!!! :w00t:

Boston is presently battling for that top 3 spot with Detroit and a wild card position if they fail that. We better be prepared for a battle today and Saturday. As for roster spots and who's on who's line, I think GMTM already knows his top 10 and after that whomever is left after the trade deadline is on a 32 game lets see what you have to offer timeline. I will say that Foligno, Larrson, McGinn, Gorges and Gionta looked good yesterday with different linemates but was that their chemistry or was it the Habs???

FIFY

3rd line production, 2 goals, 12 SOG's and 7 hits. That's a months worth of stats. Larsson looking good and confident. His defense has been good for awhile but since he's matched up with Kane, things seem to be opening up for him and he's taking advantage of it. Foligno with another strong game also. Not just the goal but he's contributing on that Eichel line. He and Girgs shared 10 hits, laying the wood for Eichel. Lehner is growing on me also, another nice game...... Did he steal one for us today???
-
She looks great and that big glass of beer looks awesome also

I'm on a Roku and the picture quality is a bit better and I haven't had to scream at the TV because it's reloading...... All good so far for me
-
ROR lost the faceoff than his man
-
Just don't be pulling on your chicken when you ask!!!
-
Example..... top 5-10 prospects in the system. I'm not against trading anyone in particular but the more often you trade 2-3-4 prospects per guy, the more empty the cupboard is. At a certain point you want to be developing your guys to your system.
-
My 2 cents is Reinhart and Mickey D. and the reason is Ekblad would have blown up the tank and we never would have gotten Eichel.
-
I'm not talking about the guys already here, I'm speaking of the possibility of trading whatever assets they have left in the food chain, otherwise I agree with you, I like the Red Wings way of not coming up until you've earned it.
-
This is exactly what I am referring to. With this team finally watchable again what I don't want to have happen is a 2-3 year window of opportunity then nosedive again because we have no depth in the system like the Penguins and end up mediocre because of it. Building depth IMO doesn't happen overnight, you need to breed your steed properly.
-
Those are good questions, unless you can add value to some players by adding a draft pick to them, I don't see any blockbuster trades coming along. I think they should add by selective free agency. Not necessarily the top money guys but picking choosing some good younger guys at value. I think I would prefer they build their talent pool in Rochester so when guys go down or leave eventually you have a NHL ready replacement and not bringing up AHL lifers. They presently have no NHL ready guys for depth and eventually that will kill any rebuilding plan. Any chance for a quick turnaround revolves first with getting at least 1 top 4 Dman, either a lefty or a righty and moving Bogo to the left side. They need speed and productivity up front also but I think as Eichel and Reinhart develop that'll be doable but the backend is dire in need of speed and quality depth. I may be wrong but Guhle is the only guy below the top club I can see as a future NHL'r.
-
I can't say I disagree with anything you have to say. I think this trade deadline will give a big time clue as to what direction GMTM will go moving forward. If he gives up the older guys for draft choices, I'm guessing he's going young next year with the forwards but to do that and not go Edmontonian (I like that word) he's going to have to beef up the D corps with some faster and less offensively challenged Dmen.
