Nice to see Rinehard with a standout game. 

A PPO goal,  RS goal,  SH goal and EN goal.....in order. Would that be called a natural cycle?

Good question. I'd vote no, as it's missing the 2 other categories of goals (& no, not including shootout as a category).

Lehner has me slightly worried

He doesn't look great, remember he has a lot of rust to shake off. That is the reason he is playing so much. He will be gtg come opening day.

[wjag]

3 games, 3 SHG...  me likely

Murray pretty much said, I'll give him a whole year if that is what it takes to get his feet under him.   Doubt he'll give him that much but he has enough faith in him.

@BuffaloSabres: Multi-point night for these #Sabres:

Reinhart, 3A

Pysyk, 1G (GWG), 2A

Gionta, 1G, 1A

Deslauriers, 1G, 1A

Guhle, 2A

#TORvsBUF

 

I like this next chapter

Guhle deserves his 9 Game Tryout

[darksabre]

So does Guhle make the team? He's having a heck of a preseason.

No. He's an athlete but there's little chance. The kid is getting lost out there at times .

[Randall Flagg]

Yep. Looks awesome for his age and draft place and look forward to his development, but I don't want him near NHL ice yet.

[X. Benedict]

Just my notes .

 

Lehner looks awfully rusty he's not tracking the puck well at all.

 

I thought McCabe had a pretty rough night with the puck on his stick .

 

Pysyk might have been the best defenseman on the ice. He settles the puck, and is very quiet. He's on the roster IMO.

 

ROR is a center, and plays bigger than he is. Love the control. Finally a center.

 

Samson made every touch count. He makes great decisions with the puck. In time i'd like to see him win more puck battles.

 

I love Gionta

 

That was some ugly hockey at times . My first impression is The leaves are in for a long year . Babcock has a tough job.

[spndnchz]

Pysyk and Reinhart had great game.

[dudacek]

After three games — exhibition no less — but I am starting to expect a team that will score a lot and give up a lot. It could be entertaining.

Foligno and Deslauriers have potential to be the best fourth-line wing combo here since, well, ever.

Ryan O'Reilly is incredibly good at forcing turnovers.

Lehner remains a question mark.

Justin Bailey is a long way away.

Guhle playing all three games is a puzzling. I like him given what he is, but has he impressed that much?

I really like Jake McCabe. His game was far from perfect tonight, but for some reason I feel confident when he's out there.

Cody Franson just looks comfortable.

Three games, three shorties.

 

...oh, and Sam Reinhart sucks. Did anybody except the official scorer even notice him?

Maybe they're showcasing Guhle for another team ? Part of a package of prospects ? Who knows. 

 

Reinhart will be fine.

Agree all around.

 

I am really starting to enjoy your Reductio ad absurdum meme, re: Reinhart. A good change of pace to the Reinhart will be fine meme.

Oh well. Would have been a cool stat in a regular season game.

I was saying that two seasons ago.

Can't wait for the Blue Jays to get absolutely destroyed be a NL team

 

I'm kind of hoping the Rangers take care of them before they get that far.

Seemed to be a nice high scoring game.

[inkman]

Maybe he's just good and they are trying to evaluate if he should be on the big squad

[That Aud Smell]

IIRC, GM TM has a big ol' man crush on Guhle. Still. Seems early to talk about NHL for a young 2nd rounder.

[3putt]

I think they are giving Guhle as much preseason time as possible because to give him 9 games would require putting someone who may be part of the bigger picture through waivers. DB already said he is going back.

How soon does he run out of funny lines this season? November?

Nah, he'll be rollin' 4 bad lines all season. ;)

 

Thank you, thank you, try the veal, please tip your server. :p

October 15th.  They've got bodies, but they're still terrible.
