GASabresIUFAN Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I love Okposo and he is a deserving selection from the Sabres. However, I actually think that Risto has been our best player YTD. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Risto needs the rest. I'll say this: I don't care if *any* Sabre makes the all-star team. I just want them to win games. Sabres games. All-star games are a distraction from the goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Risto needs the rest. I'll say this: I don't care if *any* Sabre makes the all-star team. I just want them to win games. Sabres games. All-star games are a distraction from the goal. That and the D chosen from the atlantic are Karlsson, Weber and Hedman. Maybe Samson could have gotten the nod over Okposo don't know.

TrueBlueGED Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I also think Risto has been our best player to date, but looking at the Dmen who made it from the Atlantic...rightly or wrongly, there's no way Risto was cracking that group.

Thorny Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Yup, with those reasons working against Ristolainen, I think Okposo was a deserving choice. Tied for lead in Sabres points, first in goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Ristolainen's been the best Sabre but he doesn't deserve to beat any of those others out. Glad that he & O'Reilly aren't going. Opkoso's deserving, but would've liked to see what one ofvthe 2 #2's could've done. Next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_sauve28 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Can't complain at all! Wish Risto could go, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEbriate Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Perfect choice! Until we win a playoff round, we're not getting more than one representative from our team (barring an insane midway point total). In a couple years, we'll hopefully have Eichel, Reinhart, Ristolainen, O'Reilly, and a mysterious TBD player, competing for multiple spots. Until that day, let the guy who's been consistently good in the league, and consistently (only one scoring slump) been good for us this season, our scoring leader at the time of voting, etc., do the representing. Happiness for Mr. Okposo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a bad format, all star game should be east vs west best players, now they pick via division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 As much as I like GMTM, it wasn't like Okposo was an unproven commodity. Neither was Moulson, who unproved himself after the free agent signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two or less Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 As much as I like GMTM, it wasn't like Okposo was an unproven commodity. Yeah, i'm not sure how much credit Murray should really get for signing the top free agent besides Stamkos. If he gets credit for hitting the jackpot with Okposo, does he get credit for drafting Eichel too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnkirishone Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Rasmus is listed on the all star rosters. no Kyle listed today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) Rasmus is listed on the all star rosters. no Kyle listed today Whoa...what's going on? EDIT: Where are you reading this? nhl.com still has Okposo. And why would they replace a forward with a defenseman? EDIT 2: Nothing on twitter about this and Harrington tweeted something about Okposo within the last half hour or so. Whatchu tryin' to do to me, drunk one?

GoPre Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) This Is Really Cool Okposo is on the dark side? :blink: Where's the thumbnail from BRAWNDO'S post?

Thorny Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Okposo is on the dark side? :blink: Where's the thumbnail from BRAWNDO'S post? There are times I dislike present day technology. He's on the Dark side because it's a play on Kylo Ren. That's who he's made to look like in the image. Kyle-O. Pretty clever actually.
