Silver lining .... with Lehner, they would be in the dressing room by now.

Yea I’m not too excited about him either. I hope the Sabres grab a talented young guy who has good colorful ways to describe plays. That aren’t cringe worthy like Dunleavy.

Win or lose ... they played mostly a solid game

Beauty pass by Reinhart .... but all for naught

Ugh. Bad bounce...

The caps changed things up as a counter punch. Nothing to do with RK. Now RK needs to counterpunch back.... question is ... can they?

I think Pegulas give JB this summer and a couple months into the next season. Minimum. After that he could be on a very short leash.

Man that looked like borderline boarding against Reinhart a min ago. Yikes

The coaching staff have done a good job (so far) in rendering the Caps pretty ineffective once they enter our zone.

Jack jack jack!

VO!!!! niiiiice

Last game RJ was sounding BAD, and Dunleavy took over. Maybe RJ is sick or still battling something.

My off season game plan is to drop spectrum cable and use Roku with Fubo and see how it goes ...

Repeat of the Philly game ... 3-1 Washington Eichel, Johansson, or Dahlin with a goal. Ovi pots one.

Has he ever been an assistant GM? No? Has he every been a GM? No? Has he ever been anything besides a player or a coach? No? Don’t care for a GM with no experience. We’ve tried that. Twice now. I couldn’t care less that Ruff played for and coached the Sabres. For me .... moving on. He’s in my rear view...

Isn’t that more of a question(s) for a coach?

I personally wouldn’t do that trade. But IF Detroit was entertaining the idea of moving him, they would want and probably get Significant pieces. Not as much as say a McDavid, or Eichel trade obviously. But it’s gonna hurt the team who trades for him to a degree. But the plus side is you get a very good center who on a deep team can play 2C, and spot duty on the top line if your 1C goes cold or gets injured. It’s intriguing.

I did not type ... Larkin is Eichel.

I posted this last night.... Detroit Is in a rebuild. Dylan Larkin is their “Jack Eichel”. If they were to move him, it would have to hurt the other team just like it would hurt them to move him. They would demand significant pieces back. Cozens, Reinhart, and 2021 1st for Dylan Larkin. Sabres get that 2C for years. With a fair contract at 6.1 cap hit for three more seasons. Sabres become instant playoff contenders. (As long as the holes on the team get filled well). center spine would be Eichel, Larkin, Kahun (maybe), and Larsson (if we re-sign him) Detriot gets a promising center prospect who hasn’t played a second in the NHL and is completely unproven. He could or could not develop into an effective top 6 NHL center. They get a veteran winger who produces and can play on the top six with very good vision and passing. They get a future pick to help stock up on their pipeline. Now Detroit may want more, because Larkin is their Eichel, but IF JB offered that .... should Detroit take it?

Who was in net tonight?

Reinharts passing and vision Eichels skating speed and shot accuracy Larssons tenacity Ristos snarl and power Skinners skating Olofssons shot velocity Dahlins next contract ?

Nope. I think they are banking on Ullmark improving. The overall team improving. And if they do get someone to replace Hutton it’ll be thru a trade of some sort. Not a UFA. But hey, we’ll see.

Kind of a moot point. IMO I don’t think they will go after a UFA goalie.

Wow really? It’s even more near useless of a stat than I originally thought. I see the skewed limitations of it. But hey, maybe you just don’t understand the stat. ?

Switch Kojack out with Kolchak the night stalker. Much better ??
