Doohickie Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Okay, so when we were up 3-0 I figured I'd take the dogs for a walk, miss the rest of the period, the intermission, but figured, eh, they're comfortably ahead, what will I miss? Three goals. I missed three Sabres goals. I had to watch the replays. Sheary's second was frankly kind of lucky. Asplund's was very impressive. And Olofsson was, well, Olofsson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while his spinning-and-shooting-it's-a-good-trick works in the movies, it was pathetic move at young Mitts. Also from this Devils lineup... if we're looking for a rental come playoff time, Simmonds on an expiring contract would be a good pickup for the months of April and beyond. Probably pretty cheap from a resource standpoint too, as their GM would just be happy to shed salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no one that could look at his current play and say, in good conscience, that it's not an example of the play of a top-5 forward overall type talent., never mind just "elite". Obviously the key is consistency. Also obviously, he can't sustain the type of run he's having over a full season, but his season's pace seems to be representative of the type of player I am seeing. I don't see how anyone would shy away from the elite label at this point considering his production trend line has done nothing but go UP UP UP since he came into the league. And his two-way game is much improved. He needs to keep it up. And, he will. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my reservations lay in the fact that he’s sooo not what he was when he was in Philly. He seems to be declining. A lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It usually works like that, unfortunately, at least in Sabres history.
