  3. Gretzky and Today's NHL

    What Wayne great was his understanding of angles. He didn't chase the puck, he knew where it was going to be and would meet the puck half way. Rebounds, deflections, pucks off the boards, it didn't matter, he was no grinder, but he was going to have possession first. He also understood angles defenders would take, and was a master at taking advantage of a defenders own momentum and moved accordingly to create seperation. His brain processed the game at a much faster speed than everyone else.

    Nylander is in trouble

     

    I saw Nylander play in Rochester just before Christmas against the Marlies. I watched him closely. He floated in the slot, was slow to engage along the boards and was not successful when he did. He lacked physicality. I know that is not a snipers job to muck it up in the corners. Overall, I didn't think he added much in the offensive zone. In the defensive zone, he seemed to be waiting in the slot for a breakout pass which never came. Having said that, he had a goal and an assist in that game. Even those stat lines, I wasn't really impressed and I had a bias going in hoping he'd impress me. 

     

    I was so impressed with those highlights of him that came out in his draft year. I really thought he'd be a 40 goal scorer.

     

    I don't think that now. I think he'll be a defensive liability and wont be more than a 3rd liner. And I really, really hope I'm wrong and just saw a bad overall game by him.

     

    BTW Guhle really impressed me. He joined the rush consistently. I think he's a bit light, and will need to bulk up more to be an effective defensive defenseman. But he was fun to watch offensively.

    I was at the Marlies game courtesy of Sakman (thank  you again). Guhle impressed as he joined the rush repeatedly. Nylander disappointed though. First time I've seen him. He drifts in the slot, but the puck never makes it to him. He didn't show the ability to create much with the puck or the physiclaity to gain control of the puck. He was not a part of the first team power play. Just my observation though. Take to for what it's worth. I'm pulling for the guy, but am worried about him long term.

     

    And yes in the second period, I thought they dominated for long stretches, only to give up the tying goal with about 30 seconds left in the period. 

     

    The team as a whole was entertaining and fast on this night. Better than many of the Sabres games.

    I think there is tension between jon and dany, she just went down a path he would never go down.

    She is basically exterminating the people of Westeros, by setting the entire food supply on fire.

     

    As for the dragons, drogon is a dragon that suits dany, the other two don't listen to her very well.

    I can see jon having more influence over those, just a theory.   

     

    This bothered me. It seems a bad plan to destroy foodstuffs in a coming war, with a coming winter. Yes, by all means, destroy the army. But Greyworm and the Unsullied at the very least could use the food. Grab some survivors, guard them with a couple of Dothraki, and take the supplies where they are needed.  

  17. Jack Eichel Contract Extension: Talks Occuring

    I was just watching that video after visiting this thread yesterday. I still cant get over the OT winner from Kane against Carolina.

     

    That was an awesome goal. My favorite is also one I'm fuzzy about. Hoping for some better minds to fill the gaps.

     

    Jack took a pass in the offensive zone a the top of the face off circle. He quickly glided to his left (I think) fired a shot on goal and finding the upper corner. 

     

    But what made that ply remarkable is from a rear angle, the shot curved from right to left before finding the back of the net. It looked like it curved a good foot. He actually shot a curve ball with a hockey puck.

     

    The goalie was just stunned it went on. 

  18. OT - Gregg Allman RIP

    Surprised how few people here reacted to this. Gregg is one of the very best.

    Most too young to remember the glory days? 

     

    One of my favorite bands. Saw them 3 times (that I remember) in the early to mid 80s. 

     

    In Memory of Elizabeth Reed (and Gregg) 

     

    RIP

  24. Best "finisher" in Sabres history?

    And would stand toe-to-toe with Clark Gilles and pound away giving up about 5 inches in height.  As fearless of a competitor as the Sabres have ever had.

     

    One more thing in Gare's favor: he frequently played on the 2nd line. He didn't have Gil feeding him. IIRC, he played on the checking line with Luce and Ramsey as line mates.
