    His name is no longer Samson.... it is [Please change title] :) :) :)

    I think our forwards 1 through 12 have the potential to be as good as any group in the league. I like the depth we now have up-front. But, as a matter of personal opinion, I agree that we need to find our "stud" two-way defensive pair that can go head-to-head with the best the league has to offer and hold their own. Hopefully Risto develops into that kind of player - he seems to be well on his way. Next year we'll have Gionta and Leggy off of the books, so maybe that salary will go to a free agent defenseman? Our defensemen are really young this year, so maybe "patience" is part of the answer.

    I strongly believe it works in the opposite direction. I think the offense flows through the gifted d-men (Keith, Seabrook, Weber, Josi, Doughty, Karlsson, Suter, Pietrangelo, etc.) on many of the top teams. But, obviously better forwards pad the d-men stats and visa-versa. When I look at the Sabres, who do we have who can carry the puck with confidence through the neutral and offensive zone? Risto is about it. Maybe Bogo, but I need to see him in Bylsma's system. Down here in Nashville, the defensemen always have the puck and carry much of the offensive play.

    IMHO, if we really want to be a Cup contender, we need two-to-four really great two-way d-men. Risto may grow into that, but I don't see any others in the remaining group. Offense is so hard to come by in today's game that the better teams seem to have guys on the back end who can not only shut down the opposing team, but significantly contribute offensively.

    I miss Schwartz. :unsure:

    Someone shoot the puck! Fancy passing is fine, but you gotta shoot.
  7. Iron Crotch
    double

    That's the correct call on Franson. They have missed so many interference calls this game, though.
  10. Iron Crotch
    Oh, so close!
  11. Iron Crotch
    Got a call... now we need a power play goal!
  12. Iron Crotch
    Reinhart back on the 4th line. Switched with McGinn, I think.
  13. Iron Crotch
    Time for Kane to get one. He needs to get going.

    Great play by Risto. ...and why is Tampa getting all the calls (and non-calls)? They're not an Original-6 team. ;)
  15. Iron Crotch
    In soccer, that play would have been a red card for the defender!
  16. Iron Crotch
    That Eichel play needs to be called interference. Plays like that is why there is no scoring in today's game.
  17. Iron Crotch
    Deslauriers hurt? He hasn't played this period.
  18. Iron Crotch
    Ennis - O'Reilly - McGinn now. Lines have been changed up.
  19. Iron Crotch
    McCabe really crapped the bed on that goal against.
  20. Iron Crotch
    Got Moulson - Eichel - Reinhart out there now.
  21. Iron Crotch
    On another note, the ice surface seems to be much better in Tampa than it was in Miami.
  22. Iron Crotch
    This should be 4-on-4, I think. But, at least Marcus was trying to protect Risto.
  23. Iron Crotch
    Power play. Drouin cheated.
  24. Iron Crotch
    Lines: Ennis - O'Reilly - Reinhart Kane - Eichel - Gionta MattyMo - Girgs - Foligno Deslauriers - Leggy - McGinn Even ice time for the top-3 lines so far. Ennis had 5 first period shots. More than the entire Tampa Bay team!

    We have 11 forwards who are legit scoring threats (I left Deslauriers out of that group, but he isn't bad either). And, a coach who knows what the hell he is doing. This is fun hockey.
