Eichel (44) & Reinhart (30) are the 1st pair of Sabres rookies with 30 points since Thomas Vanek (48) & Jason Pominville (30) in 2005-06.

I wish Kane could do anything other than be fast and miss the net.

I really think he just needs to stop trying to pick the corners every single time. If he'd just try to get it on net, his volume shooting may well produce a fair amount of rebound opportunities. But seeing it ring off the glass and go the other way so often is quite frustrating.

I mean, he just fired it straight across the ice. That's beer league .

Nice. Very different scoring standards in those out-of-lockout seasons. But still a nice stat. And we've still got 17 games left to play.

 

Wild announcers just called this an awkward period. I'd say the Sabres have made it awkward for them by upping the pressure.

Not true...it was traveling much faster than in beer league :p

Suter -- deflection. Otherwise, I think Larsson had a really good chance at the shortside shoulder. Dubnyk wasn't at a great angle.

Imagine if he were playing with Kane or Zetterberg, like some other rookies who will probably get more Calder hype.

[Norcal]

Nice saucer from Vanek there. Great angle by the camera man

[MODO Hockey]

What a goal and a pass! :D GO SABRES!

Agreed. Man, I love Larsson. Hope we lock him up for 3-4 years.

[Huckleberry]

anyways off to the pub, Lets go buffalo !!!

[dudacek]

Larsson leading the forwards in minutes after two, more than 13.

I truly believe McDavid, Eichel , and Domi should be the best candidates, with extra points to Jack for having stronger clavicles.

This pleases me.

I'd put Gostisbehere over Domi.

[Thorner]

No love for the several nice passes he's made upon zone entry today?

 

On another note, Sam's pass to Eichel was superb, and you knew Eichel would finish once he got it. Nice goal

I forgot about him, good call

I don't care about Kane's passes. The dude was brought here to put the puck in the net, not cough it up. 

[TrueBlueGED]

Normally if I say a player (or line) doesn't know what the defensive zone is, it's meant as an insult to their defensive play. But in the case of the Larsson line, they don't know what the defensive zone is because they're seemingly never there. It's awesome.

Fair enough. But he does have 18. Sure we'd all like more but it's a good start.

Love that line. Perfect 3rd line when ROR is back.

[darksabre]

Eichel is just better on the right wall.
