JujuFish Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 Jack!! Leading scorer in NHL since Jan 1 As far as I can tell, Brad Marchand has that distinction, with 22 goals and 39 points, compared to Eichel's 13 goals and 35 points. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 Unbelievable! I love Jack Eichel. Funny, I haven't seen any hot takes about him merely being "good" lately. As far as I can tell, Brad Marchand has that distinction, with 22 goals and 39 points, compared to Eichel's 13 goals and 35 points. He doesn't count as a human being. Reason #198237128947512897264 to ignore 99% of what athletes say: Evander Kane just credited Deslauriers with turning the game around. Quote
ct fab Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 Captain Jack has the most assists and points in the NHL since FEBRUARY 1 Quote

He is scum but was Rob Ray wrong? Quote
Doohicksie Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 I'm still on Team Can Dan. The only reason they won is they tuned out DD during the first intermission so they could watch Beyond Blue & Gold. Ten-year-old Lindy Ruff video is more inspiring than Dreary D. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 You're gonna need more than bleach. Looks like I broke out the bleach a bit too soon, eh? Quote
Norcal Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 Whoa Lenny The only reason they won is they tuned out DD during the first intermission so they could watch Beyond Blue & Gold. Ten-year-old Lindy Ruff video is more inspiring than Dreary D.there is some leadership in that room, nice comeback tonight Quote
Randall Flagg Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 I had a nice time watching that game. It's one of many reasons why I am not worried about the "it" factor, and why I believe that when we address the tangible things that predictably lead to mediocrity, we will then appear to be full of "it". It will be a crime against humanity if we never get to see Kaner and Foligno play on this team in the playoffs, IMO. Jack can be goofy and a little off and then be the reason we win at the end, it's amazing that we have a player like that.Lehner was still kinda all over the place, but he came up huge. There was a faceoff in the offensive zone, tied at 3, after a commercial break, and Gorges was the left point man for some reason. ROR won it directly to him and he directly gave it away and Columbus almost scored on the ensuing rush. Comical. CBus is going to get bounced early. Torts lets them play creative, but doesn't give them much of any structure. One of Pittsburgh or Washington is going to pick these guys apart. Quote
Winston Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 Lol. Columbus anchors complaining about Erod not getting a double minor for high sticking after Jack Johnson's interference/cross check/roughing is what caused it. Quote
Tom Backyard Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 The only thing better than watching the game was coming in here afterwards and reading the progression from bridge jumping to fist pumping. Sports fandom is a roller coaster ride indeed. Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 Peters is definitely much more comfortable in front of a camera than May. Quote
Doohicksie Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 there is some leadership in that room, nice comeback tonight Yeah... it's in the form of a ten year old video. Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 I can't lie... That place got hopping after that abysmal start..... We got nasty, bogo and d-lo and even Foligno were all looking to roll some heads. Gionta and gorges were physical too. Some good battling, and a comeback with an epic save. This is the potential.... Now if there was only some way to unlock it..... Hmmmm Quote
Doohicksie Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 That's been Foligno's game all year. DLo looked much better tonight than he has all year. Maybe the assist last game got his juices flowing, but he looked more like he did in years past and not just a roster filler. Although he didn't show it on the score sheet, I thought Ennis looked good as well, especially on the second power play unit, moving the puck. I hope if he's still here next year, he shows a bit of a resurgence like GIonta and Moulson did this year. Quote
inkman Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 Maybe it has something to do with all the youts on this team but they seem to play better when things get chippy. Like it gets their juices flowing... Quote

PromoTheRobot Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 Nice win. Great game. Too little too late. Meh. Quote
dudacek Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 I'd love to see the analytics that compare the Sabres behind to the Sabres with the lead. The difference seems to be night and day. Regarding the emotional investment and edge of the players, that, like the way they play with and without a lead, is a reflection of their coach. Quote
hockeyhound Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 Are the Sabres out of the Playoffs? Quote
Sabre fan Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 Not sure if we are offically eliminated but whatever...the truth is losing to Columbus Friday was no big deal as they have a great record. but for the record, it is interesting to see Columbus, like the Leafs, play such a wide open, no defense style of hockey. I know we love to complain about our Defense, but really our's is certainly better then either of these teams. they simply try to 0outscore the other team, and rely on their goalies to keep them in games. Like when was the last time one of our goalies won us a game? Miller never did when we needed him to , and that hasn;t changed now. The style we play is ironically best suited for playoffs, which we won;t see. It is interesting also to note we are better when behind, as we keep attacking til the end of the game, as opposed to when we have a lead early then try to hang on for dear life (just as Lindy's system dictated). maybe we should get behind every game...

Columbus is tied with San Jose for the 2nd least goals given up in the entire NHL. Quote
pastajoe Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 Are the Sabres out of the Playoffs? Not officially, but realistically they are 8 points behind the final playoff spot, and would have to pass 5 teams to get it. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) My concerns haven't changed. My desire to defend them in every thread has.Alternatively, you could just admit to being wrong :p Hey, by this time next year I may have to do the same with Kane. You'll have good company! :) Edited March 12, 2017 by TrueBlueGED Quote
