. Well not me, I don't like the idea of going back 30-60 or more second's to make a call. It absolutely take's the crowd out of the game, as well as the players. I think even worse than before the goal was scored. It wouldn't matter if we had won three straight calls. I don't like this rule. Unfortunately I think this rule is here to stay, so here's an idea, the goal is only taken back if the goal was scored by the player that was offsides or was the primary assist on the goal. That leaves three other players to score. It would eliminate some of the call backs.

I've hated this rule from the beginning. Like its been said before, in football it works because the challenge is done immediately after that play (15-20 seconds tops). Hockey is a fast paced game and to add back sometimes minutes to the clock kills the flow. There will always be missed calls. Goals are allowed on much worse infractions that can't be reviewed.

I think Eichel requested it. why won't my emojis show up on my post?

Does anybody think that rj has had a conversation with Eichel about what to call him when he scores? I don't think he would talk to everyone, but maybe the best scorers. Or maybe they contact him. Has anyone ever heard of this happening?

Well, there you go.

Is the mouth guard hanging out reviewable?????

I don't like foligno with Kane and Eichel. Would much rather have Girginsens or Ennis. Foligno doesn't have the skills to compliment Kane and Eichel. Would not be against splitting up Kane and Eichel, at least give it a try. Weber just needs to go. He couldn't make a clearing pass out of the zone for anything. Well not one that connected with one of our players anyway. Turned it over alot. Overall I liked the compete level of this game. Alot of the players that didn't play well in the first game did alot better today.

There are numerous "plays" between whistles in hockey, change of possession, shots on goal, ect. In football you can't go back three plays to make a challenge. I just don't see how to make it work without it messing up the flo. I definitely think teams will challenge even though they know they will lose just to stop the momentum of the other team.

It's why I love hockey, it's fast paced and few stoppages. You can go several minutes without a whistle. To be able to go back that far for a challenge just ruines the pace of the game. Like another poster said " this isn't football or baseball". Just keep the reviews for the actual goal.

Well I voted Kane. But what a problem to have. It could be any one of 5-6 guys just as easy. It's been a while since we've had this much firepower. Me likey!

Agreed

I still like, Kane, O'Reilly, Ennis Moulson, Eichel, Gionta Foligno, Girginsens, Reinhart Deslauriers, Larsson, McGinn Not bad at all. Now if we an just get our defense and goaltending up another level.

Me too please, thanks

Ha, I'm just glad he's a sabre regardless of his number.

Um.... 15

Live in sw Arkansas, and already have my tix for the Dallas Sabres game. Looking forward to it. Also have my Eichel jersy ordered and will be wearing it to the game.

Info please.

If its the only one like it and I have the money, I'm willing to pay a little more than the next guy. There's only one ROR, and I believe GMTM thinks he's worth the extra cost. I'm not saying its the right move all the time. And yes I know he has overpaid before, I'm just saying that's his mindset. I think GMTM believes every player he goes after gives the sabres the highest percentage possibility of helping the team win the cup and is willing to pay a little more to guarantee he gets him.

People have different types of personalitys. I'm more like TM. Here's an example, when I buy a truck, I can buy a truck for $35000. But the truck I really want is $40000, my personality says if I'm going to spend $35000 I want the truck I want, so I'm going to spend the extra $5000 to get what I want. Some people are happier saving the money but not getting everything they wanted. That's fine too. I think GMTM says, if I'm going to spend the assets, I want the player I want. He could say I could get 75% of what I want over here for a little less. But I don't think that's his personality. He wants the player he wants and is willing to pay for him. That's fine with me, were already talking playoffs, that's not a bad thing. I can't wait for October!!!

100% agree X.

Wow what a night, must admit the first trade for sabres seemed a little shakey, but GMTM had a plan, and worked it all the way out. In GMTM I trust.Can't wait for the season to start!!!!

I agree 4th line with possible 3rd upside. Didn't he also step in and play defense a time or two mid game due to defense injury? I think he's an all around upgrade to Kaleta.

He's definitely worth keeping as a second or third line guy IMO.

I also voted 30-30 as well. I believe he will break 30 goals a couple of times in his career. I really like his energy as an example to the young guys.

I voted 20+ top 6. I think he could do better than that if lines jell together well. I am a little concerned he may start slow since he's been out basically a year and a half. I meant half of last season and then this off season. Still learning to get my thoughts strait.
