Thorny

and poor goaltending

don't forget the awful special teams

Couple of firsts today: Samuelsson first point this season First mark in the third standings column for the Sabres this season

I'll take the blame I guess. Went south after I left, 3 straight against I think whoops lol

^ bump

So, functional, not literal. got it

my own fault. I'm out for the rest will check in later

The look disappears when push comes to shove? haha DUDE

No, Neo, I'm trying to tell you than when Power is ready...he won't have to.

Jost was an 8? No wonder we added him haha

You mean, “is”, right? The guy in all the top 10, quarter-season mvp AND selke lists right now?

So Tuch for example is off the table for you. Not just functionally, but literally? Anyone calls on Tuch it’s an immediate hang up? Robertson for JJ: “no thanks”?

Offensively I think they are pretty neck and neck tbh. Jack is having a killer defensive season so we’ll see if Tage rounds out his game to that level in coming seasons. Maybe that comes with an improved roster around him like we are seeing with Jack in Vegas. Imo Jack has never been an exceptional goal scorer, I remember the days of pointing this out ad nauseam on this board: his shot is technically superb but not the most accurate by any margin. As I used to always say: Jack’s true speciality is in playmaking - always has been always will be. Elite passer of the puck. Tage gets the easy nod for goal scoring and Jack the easy nod for distribution. Either can be the perfect C compliment on a top line, but both probably need a different set of wingers given their games. Though Skinner seems to work with both

You mean, re: Chychrun, right?

The points are there regardless (I blame TT) but ya his game seems to teeter-totter a lot to my eye

A not so sweet game from Alex Tuch thus far. Needs a big 3rd

Lol good luck expected likelihood of this goal: 0

Does Stamkos suck now? I would have put that in Oh Shite

You are referring to Host with a hard aka Duff

Whos got cpu skills Need a gif of the Mortal Kombat “TOASTY!” bit, properly altered

Rob Ray said “Yost”

You got me

Cozens I think got away w/ one there

Another awful pass from Tuch
