Mustache of God Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 The amount of butthurt in the Carolina forums GDT is amazing. We'd be butthurt if our playoff hopes were officially squashed last night as well. I wish this team could put me in a position to even be butthurt at this point. Quote

sodbuster Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) To be fair their odds to make the playoffs last night before the game were at .9%. That's quite the stretch.Have you ever been over on Two Bills Drive on the Monday after the Bills are mathematically eliminated? You know right after the ship sinks in Titanic, and they show the wide shot of the area and it's just hundreds of people in life jackets screaming in the dark? It's exactly like that.

That Aud Smell Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 I actually think Reinhart's defensive zone play has improved a lot over the course of this season. He's fairly solid. I don't really think it's his defensive projection that would keep him away from the pivot. Possibly his modest speed? I'm not sure. I remember an article talking about some super-duper-all-star team -- maybe based on players from different eras -- and the sports personality who was putting it together had some collection of all-time greats in an interview (like, Crosby, Messier ... I can't remember who else ... Dionne?), and the joke was made "Listen, fellas ... some of you are going to have to play wing." Everyone laughed. But then it was all like, "not me, dude." Quote
Randall Flagg Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 Is Reinhart slower than Joe Thornton? Quote
LGR4GM Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 Is Reinhart slower than Joe Thornton? Reinhart is faster than a lot of ppl give him credit for but because 2 years ago he played 9 games and looked slow, he is slow. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 Ya - I didn't mean to suggest Reinhart is too slow to play center in the NHL. If anything keeps Reinhart on the wing, it will be the fact that he needs to be in the Sabres' top 6 and Eichel for sure centers one of those lines and O'Reilly most likely centers the other one.

IKnowPhysics Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 They are quite perturbed on the Canes HF Boards site. They think the refs blew the game and they all seem to have a general disdain for the Sabres. http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/showthread.php?t=2050109 Quote
dudacek Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 Is the consensus that Sam Reinhart is a poor defensive player? I haven't heard this before and haven't noticed. Given his hockey IQ, I find it hard to believe. Sam is actually usually in very good position in the d-zone. Only weakness I've seen is will sometimes stand by a guy instead of tying him up, or trust his ability to pick off passes too much. He's far better than Jack IMO (I'm not bashing Jack) Quote
qwksndmonster Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 Larsson and Reinhart are blowing me away lately. Foligno and Gionta are playing well, but Larsson is the heart and soul of that third line. He creates all the offense, and the defense is anchored around him. He's tough, and other teams hate him. He's the guy that we all thought Girgensons was last year (except Larsson is much stronger on his skates). I hope he can keep it up. Samson is turning into a beast. His physical play is worlds better than it was in October. Now he's regularly shrugging guys off and making plays. I thought he was better than Jack last night. Dan's gotta get him some time at pivot. Quote
Doohicksie Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 Samson is turning into a beast. His physical play is worlds better than it was in October. And galaxies better than his 9-game stint last year. He keeps learning and developing. I think Jack is too, but that 9-game peek last year made a big impression on Reino, methinks. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 Zemgus has certainly been disappointing offensively, but what if I were to tell you he's been quite good in other ways? I have stats! Post to come either tonight or tomorrow! Quote
Norcal Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 Beautiful assist by Hanifan on Car 1st goal Quote
qwksndmonster Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 Beautiful assist by Hanifan on Car 1st goalGood call. Some smooth footwork on that rush. Quote
Stoner Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 Don't get me started. Are we making up game action again? Ohhhhhhhh... it Gionta. Quote
