Yea the attending scouts are “published” every game. I’m just not sure how to find it lol.

Yea I was waiting for his aggression to turn into a dumb penalty. I know the ref was watching him closely. I think he lucked out.

He over commits on plays more than I’m comfortable with. Biron describes it as needing and having a quiet upper body. Ullmark does not have that.

Please don’t compare Brodeur to Ullmark. ?

Bell curve. ? I’m waiting for the bottom to drop out. Hard. Hope hope hope that doesn’t happen of course.

Two for embellishment

I hope that’s tongue in cheek because using “magical” is a tad strong. It was flat out a nice pass, and an equally nice finish by Vesey.

Beauty pass beauty goal. Nice one.

It’s also too low. Camera needs to be about 15-20 feet up from where it is now. Get that better angle.

Yea. It’s when Bills fans like to cross contaminate their chants and phrases and slag/lingo into the Sabres universe. Like: hey ey ey ey hey ey ey ey lets go buffalo let’s go buffalo and calling fans who collect at a location like a bar or airport the “SabresMafia” just like the Bills fans call themselves that. Some love it. That’s great. I personally don’t. But ya live with it lol.

Agree with this. I also think some have to try harder to get over the fact that he was drafted 2nd overall. How many times do we see “well he was drafted 2nd overall, he should be a game changer, a franchise player!” He’s not gonna be. Get over it already. Bloody hell. I think that elevated unrealistic expectation years and years removed from his draft, is what blurs people’s vision of not only Reinhart, but many players. I’m not reading anything embellished or inflated from those who like him as a player. I am however seeing hyperbole, Bloated expectations, and vast exaggerations when it comes to some (not all) of the negative or flaws in his game. Be accurate for gods sake.

There are facts and there are opinions who some are convinced they’re facts. I think the last few posts clearly showed that. Reinhart has some flaws. So does every player. Every. Player. The fact that some can see both flaws and assets is a good thing. A logical, even keeled thing. It’s as plain as day who can’t. I hope that changes for some fans. It would be nice.

I’ll be optimistic and say the Sabres are feeling good with a two game win streak. Sabres 5-3 Larsson, Mojo, or Joker with a goal

Interesting factoid about Dallas and face offs. I mean we already know Hull cheated in 99’ ?

Well, Reinhart doesn’t dipsy doodle, and do sick deeks and double Lutz so he’s obviously a worse player. And Sam should be pulled away from Eichel and put on a different line to see how good he is before signing him. You know, the same thing that they did to Skinner before signing him. Oh wait ...

Awe man! You ruined it. Now I know there’s dirt involved and Defoe has a dirty mouth! Thanks a lot Geesh!

When I see posters say he “skates slow” or “skates poorly”, I can’t help but think of this gif. Agenda gonna agenda. And deny gonna deny. No need to spit out the same takes and stats that show Reinhart is far from an issue or a problem. As others plainly laid out. What’s weird is how the mistakes are pointed out during games, but if he makes a great play, pass, goal etc ... it’s ignored by those same posters sometimes. It’s a shame really. Hmmm ... what would that action be called? I can’t quite think of the word. It’s on the tip of my tongue. ? He’s a quietly productive player. One of the if not the best passer on the team. And a smart team will sign him to a contract that gets him to 30. And like almost every contract signed nowadays, he’ll be overpaid. Some fans will hate it. And the criticism will reach a fever pitch for years and years. Because like most players, they never quite “earn” all those millions. Today’s NHL. And I’m certainly not saying he doesn’t make mistakes. But so does every player. It’s nothing unique or extreme in that regard. But, like you said, and I agree, you’d think it was and his talent is subpar.

Catching up on The Mandalorian. Halfway thru. Love it.

Yep. They did the same thing to Skinner last season before signing him to a long term big money big cap hit contract ... ?

Girgensons did a solid job playing spot duty with Jack and Sam. Glad it’s not long term though lol.

I don’t buy that.... if Vegas killed the Sabres 5-0, I bet he would still have a job this morning. Granted, his firing may have been semi imminent, but if they won convincingly, Gallant would have another game at the very least. The firing in general is rather premature in my opinion.

Oh man ... so now my memory is failing me Gallant, Hynes ..... and who?

I’m forgetting the third coach.. Gallant Babcock ....

Sammy is a coach killer! Gerard Gallant is gonzo

Neither does saying Reinhart skates “slow”. But it doesn’t stop fans from spewing that nonsense. It’s like fans want to only compare the speed of a skater to the fastest one on the team. And call others slow. It’s a very shallow in a vacuum observation. Their opinion is so 2015. If one wants to just take into account straight line point A to point B skating, then Reinhart is average. However, His edge work is good. His positioning and where to be on the ice when he doesn’t have the puck is above average. That’s all part of skating speed. Not just ZOMG he doesn’t blow the doors off like Eichel does so therefore he’s a slow skater. I personally don’t take a posters opinions about Reinhart seriously at all if one of the criticisms is “he’s a slow skater”. I find their viewing very “tunnel vision”. Other criticisms are semi accurate and understandable mostly.
