dudacek Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 No one was surprised when Z put up his usual 10 goals and 18 points last year while supplying hard skating, defensively responsible play. The fact he only missed 2 games to injury might have been a bit of a shock. https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=130896 A healthy Zemgus will move past Mike Foligno and Rick Martin this year and into 10th place on the all-time Sabres’ games played list. After a decade of wearing the blue and gold, he has yet to play a playoff game. Both the Sabres and Girgensons had options to switch things up this year in free agency, but each signed up for at least one more try. What do you expect from Girgensons this year? (Last year’s takes here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd1001 Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 8-12 goals, one of the, if not the best forward killing penalties. A group of people criticizing him and wishing he would get replaced with a 'young guy' because they don't know, or at least don't appreciate the fact he is, in his all around game, above average for a 4th liner.

Porous Five Hole Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 I was very much looking forward to voting 15-20 points, hard skating, defensively responsible play and injury. It was a gimme and it made me laugh out loud at the poll last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamboni Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 Girgs plays around 60-70 games. And snags 18-25 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookie1 Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 He will score Buffalo’s 1st playoff goal since Brad Boyes. End of story, other than that he’ll be his usual 20-25 pt man who works his ass off every night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted September 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 Can’t wait to see him force a turnover late to seal the Sabres first playoff win since April 22, 2011. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimlach Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 Solid guy. Would love to see him cleanly run people over more often too. Make other team’s defense less comfy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 An article in the Buffalo News on Girgs by Mike Harrington. He has a fourth line role that he does very well in conjunction with Okposo and probably Krebs. Hopefully, he can score a few more goals. https://buffalonews.com/sports/professional/nhl/zemgus-girgensons-buffalo-sabres-nhl-detroit-red-wings-don-granato/article_f277becc-6217-11ee-9121-c35e9b368c50.html#tncms-source=login Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminded by reporters after practice Tuesday, Girgensons smiled and said he had seen the anniversary pop up on his Twitter feed the night before. It was Oct. 2, 2013, at Detroit’s Joe Louis Arena in a game most remembered as the Red Wings’ return to the Eastern Conference. In skill, intensity and even emojis, Dylan Cozens packs a punch in middle for Sabres Cozens tweaked the Leafs on social media and made a different statement on the ice Saturday vs. Columbus. The Sabres lost, 2-1, but Girgensons scored Buffalo’s only goal with 7:24 left, putting his first NHL shot on goal into the net after a misplay by Wings goalie Jimmy Howard. “I remember vividly. The building’s not around but I’m never gonna forget that,” said Girgensons, whose linemates that night were Brian Flynn and Mikhail Grigorenko. “It was a cool experience. I definitely remember my first shift I got pinned in my zone with (Detroit stars Pavel) Datsyuk and (Henrik) Zetterberg on the ice. It was over a minute long I think. Remember that the most, but in the end, I got a goal so that was special of course.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 I simply expect the Gus we have seen since he’s been here; 100% effort whether we are up 5 goals or down 5 goals in a game. Hustle plays that never show up in the stat sheet that result in a goal for the Sabres or in a goal denied to the opponent. Night in and night out of exemplifying what it means to never cheat the game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 2 years younger than Skinner. And 6 years younger than Okposo. Calling him a slightly younger old man is kind of a reach. He's certainly not a young player anymore, but he's still probably got several more years in the league left in him as a role player. This reminds me of when reporters asked him if he'd contemplate retiring if he didn't return to the Sabres, and he was like "I'm only 29". I think he seems older just because he's been around for 11 seasons. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue may be that when you do that you're only changing the display text and not the embedded url. Typically when you copy/paste a url it uses the url as both. Like this: <a href="https://x.com/LLysowski/status/1709661985481044161">https://x.com/LLysowski/status/1709661985481044161</a> So you could end up editing to: <a href="https://x.com/LLysowski/status/1709661985481044161">https://twitter.com/LLysowski/status/1709661985481044161</a> Such that the display name looks right but the link is still going to x.com The other thing I've noticed is the forum code seems to detect a twitter address and converts it when you paste it. So if it's not the first thing, it may be you need to change the URL and THEN paste it into a forum post. Not paste it and change it. Ideally the forum code would just get updated to work with both, but that's easier said than done because they'll have to do a deployment.
