Sabres at Islanders - 4/9/16 7:30 pm

[Kruppstahl]

Myself, I'm not a hockey player. But -- I imagine it's much like lacrosse playing with an aluminum or titanium shaft vs. wood. Or even baseball with the ping bats. You just feel quicker with it, whether you are or not (which probably as more to do with your skill).

 

What'd be curious to see is the "hardest shot" mph/kph scores at the All-Star games each year during the transition from wood to composite.

[SarasotaSabre]

Thanks for the Keystone Kops moment, Linus.

[Nitro60]

I was a KOHO 2210 man, myself.

I used a VIC, if Gil Perreault used it, it was good for me.  Kohos are good too.

[JJFIVEOH]

Did Leenus go to play the puck behind the net and the puck came off the boards funny, or did he just wait until the last second to come out and play a puck that he shouldn't have?

[TrueBlueGED]

He looks less complementary and more featured.  He has been having  a great game and has ridiculous hands

 

I was thinking complementary in the sense that he won't be on the level of ROR, Eichel, Samson. Of course, he could end up like Gaudreau.

 

Separately, I will never for the life of me understand this fascination with the PP alignment that prevents both wall players from firing quality one timers. Right at the end there, O'Reilly would have been able to one-time the pass from Risto...only that Eichel was there and no way to do it. Bleh.

[Brawndo]

GIO!!!

If you're going to go with wood, Sherwood is the finest, IMO.

[Nitro60]

Wow!  What a shot.  

[3putt]

Captain my Captain!

[Randall Flagg]

The captain with a snipe!!

Another season of this will drive me crazy.

Funny, that's exactly why I bought Doust skates.

[TrueBlueGED]

Who knew Gionta still had that kinda shot in his repertoire? That was pretty great.

I liked Canadien 6001.

[GoPre]

Gionta w/ a rocket!!!!!

Good value for $40   I have one for street hockey.  Yes...at 55 I still play.  :)

The latter

[DarthEbriate]

Way to be, Gionta!

[Nitro60]

Smart choice. :)

[DarthEbriate]

Wait --- he won our team's hardest shot/skills competition with his two surgically repaired biceps..ses.

[LGR4GM]

Samson looks hurt

[SabresBillsFan]

Evan solid on the forecheck. Played a pretty solid game.

Nitro, you and me at 55, still laying the wood!!

Played? It ain't over yet

Did he? I thought Risto had the hardest shot.

[Randall Flagg]

It's gonna be a long six months without this.
