I’m starting to think that Sam is Pierre Turgeon and we need to find Pat Lafontaine. Turgeon had a nice career but like Sam, he was more of a great complimentary guy and not the driver you need against the Bruins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At times during the Sabres PP, I thought I was watching an old college basketball game with the Tar Heels playing the ol' 4-corners offense.

Turgeon had a nice career but like Sam, he was more of a great complimentary guy and not the driver you need against the Bruins. We know Sam can be a really good complementary player. But if he can't elevate, fine... there's still a role for him. That just means someone else needs to step up for him to complement. Mitts, Skinner, Cozens, Thompson, Olofsson... none of them are escalating today either. We can't just rely on Eichel. (And Cozens, but he's not ready to be the alpha yet). (For the Samson thread --- if you move him, move him this summer so you can maximize the return from a team with a free season on him before he's a UFA.)

pi2000 Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 ..again, if Sam isn't scoring he's largely a liability. Has anybody ever seen him go into a wall battle and come out with the puck? His compete level is just too low, the young guys are working their tails off and he's mostly a spectator, smh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have not completely git away from it over the years, it just that the NHL was never going to like the antics of the Broad Street Bullies era ever exist again. If the refs called an honest game Philly would not have been out opponent in the 75 season. BTW - I edited my posts to read 60’s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEbriate Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Thompson had space... get the zone, then make the pass. Mitts can wait, but let him get in with momentum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Balls Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Hall goes right in on Toker and no one lays him out. Pathetic. Hall never got in the goalies house when he played for Buffalo.

Probably hundreds of times at this point in his career. It's usually with positioning, a pinch, and a quick stick. He does it quite frequently. But if it's a grapple/tackle battle, then no... then the puck is likely going the other way. Perhaps the better question, does he win more or lose more pucks along the wall? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turgeon had a nice career but like Sam, he was more of a great complimentary guy and not the driver you need against the Bruins. Really hope you're wrong about that, primarily because absolutely didn't like Turgeon (never rose to Smehlik, Housley, Satan, or Zhoey Zhuneau level of dislike, but was ecstatic when the rumors that LaFontaine would come to Buffalo were swirling) and it was because of the style he played and his never once getting dirty. But you might have something there. Actually like Reinhart. But maybe that's what it is that keeps the preference being keeping him on the wing. Not strong enough in front of his own net.
