  1. Not in the effort department, but in the locker room, ect. I think we saw a flash of it on his assist to Samson for the hat trick, and I think given more responsibility he could really connect even further and become an even greater player.
  2. We weren't making the playoffs this season anyway. This is a great opportunity for Jack and Samson to step up and carry on how to persevere without ROR there. I'm actually curious to see if Kane will step up a bit. I think a little responsibility and being depended on to lead would do him wonders.
  3. With an overactive adrenal gland and a chip in it's brain that makes it feel like it's constantly being stung by a horde of wasps. In other words, pure hate and rage...
  4. I posted this in the Columbus GDT, but I would love to say it again: He's absolutely worth the 1st for entertainment value alone. The fact that he's actually good is just gravy. I love every game he starts because it almost feels like we have a caged animal in net that will go berserk at any moment and tear through the opposing team in a flurry of claws and teeth. I can't say whether or not he'll be elite or not and if he'll be our goalie for a cup run or not. I certainly hope he is. Regardless, right now every game he's in is entertaining and I ADORE his intensity. He is the exact opposite personality of Miller in every way. Opposing players are intimidated and afraid of our goalie. It's great seeing the team have his back, but it's amazing to see someone who can handle his **** himself and also have his teammates backs. One day someone will be stupid enough to drop the gloves with him. On that day angels shall weep for his opponent.

  6. I'm sick of us having to start almost every game from behind.
  7. All without Kane, Bogosian and Lehner I love this team
  8. , Legwand, you've gotta intercept that pass.
  9. I wonder how much of that is ROR influence
  10. Sure seems like it. You just know that GMTM is going to do something now. If we had gotten off to a great start, I'd say hey can sit on his hands, but not with Kane sitting out. Which is a shame because we don't need to trade anymore assets for temporary solutions. My guess is that the goalie situation is handled.
  11. God this team is 1000x more entertaining this year. Playing this well in a next day game is a pleasant surprise. Though I agree with the sentiment that I just don't see Eichel and Kane ever truly forming an amazing chemistry. I can honestly see him on Samson's wing developing a truly frightening chemistry.
  12. I hope we see a bit of retaliation on Phaneuf after that preseason hit on Ghule.
  13. I think it's good he's still up with the big club. He's sweating, busting butt and travelling with a group of guys he'll be playing with for years. Build that chemistry by travelling and fighting through the tough battles that this season is going to present. He's not taking away from the team right now at all. Build that companionship and that cohesiveness that only suffering a struggling together can bring. The talent on this team that's been assembled is absolutely incredible. This is going to be the toughest year for them for the next 5-6 years. The more cohesive of a unit the core forms, the more they trust each other and know what each other is thinking, the better. I think that's the best thing for Samson right now. Not the TOI, but him growing as a man, bleeding, and fighting with the group of guys that day in and day out have his back on and off the ice, that's what's important.
  14. This is exactly where I'm at too. I think I was caught up with so much of the drama for the past few years, because I had to pay attention to something and what was on the ice was heartbreaking. I couldn't stand to watch something I love go through that kind of pain. It's amazing right now. Forget the playoffs, forget the cup. Yesterday I smiled ear to ear and loved watching a hockey game. It feels like coming home after a very long trip.
  15. Can't agree with this more. You can see that everyone is starting to get a little more comfortable playing with each other so that they can trust each other and not be on the heel of their skates to really drive those battles. This was just a fun game to watch start to finish. Feels great to enjoy watching a Sabres game again.
  16. Wow, thanks everyone. Didn't expect that warm of a welcome. I'll make sure to post more often then!
  17. I actually lurked on this site for well over a year before I made a profile. I usually just used it as an information source and an interesting source to get different opinions on what may be going on. Honestly, my knowledge compared to most of you is woefully limited and I'm a fan, but not a fanatic. Never really saw a point to posting as I never felt that my voice would contribute all that much to the discussion.
