Randall Flagg Posted September 28, 2017 Report Posted September 28, 2017 Well I've been entertained. I think we look good and I'm excited for the real thing. Quote
Sabel79 Posted September 28, 2017 Report Posted September 28, 2017 More of that in the regular season please. Without being two down in the last thirty seconds, of course... Quote
darksabre Posted September 28, 2017 Report Posted September 28, 2017 Well I've been entertained. I think we look good and I'm excited for the real thing. How bad could we possibly be, right? Quote
LGR4GM Posted September 28, 2017 Report Posted September 28, 2017 So we had a 2 minute empty net down 3. scored. Got the puck back in the zone and scored again. Lol we won't win but A for effort Quote
Brawndo Posted September 28, 2017 Report Posted September 28, 2017 That was their best effort so far this preseason Quote
3putt Posted September 28, 2017 Report Posted September 28, 2017 Signs of life. Getting used to this style will take a bit of time. Adding our top 3 d will help. Quote
Sabel79 Posted September 28, 2017 Report Posted September 28, 2017 That was their best effort so far this preseason Agreed. Quote
LGR4GM Posted September 28, 2017 Report Posted September 28, 2017 I like the resilience of this time. I think Jack is trying to do way to much. He needs to simplify. Â Reinhart looked okay at center but he wasn't really good and we need good. Â Pouliot was meh. Â Zemgus... not quite the destroyer but on his way. Quote

Randall Flagg Posted September 28, 2017 Report Posted September 28, 2017 Shots were 42-27 in our favor. People who've been able to watch consistently, is Antipin in this top 6? Quote

Doohicksie Posted September 28, 2017 Report Posted September 28, 2017 I like the resilience of this time. I think Jack is trying to do way to much. He needs to simplify. Â I'll second that emotion. Quote
The Dominator Posted September 28, 2017 Report Posted September 28, 2017 Shots were 42-27 in our favor. People who've been able to watch consistently, is Antipin in this top 6? Â Absolutely. I think he might look "slow" at the beginning of the season as he learns to process at this level in an NHL rink. Otherwise, he looked like a natural fit in Housley's system. Quote
Sabel79 Posted September 28, 2017 Report Posted September 28, 2017 I might have mentioned it previously, but Josefson (yay, I got it right!) was particularly interesting tonight. Dude has wheels. That works well with what Housely is doing... might just have been an astute pickup. Quote
Doohicksie Posted September 28, 2017 Report Posted September 28, 2017 Can we talk about how we spent 2 full minutes with an empty net and then scored on Pittsburgh? Â TWICE. Quote
Thorner Posted September 28, 2017 Report Posted September 28, 2017 I like the resilience of this time. I think Jack is trying to do way to much. He needs to simplify. Reinhart looked okay at center but he wasn't really good and we need good. Pouliot was meh. Zemgus... not quite the destroyer but on his way. To the bolded: maybe we should expect that, given he's playing for a contract, now. Â On Reinhart: I thought he looked good. Â I might have mentioned it previously, but Josefson (yay, I got it right!) was particularly interesting tonight. Dude has wheels. That works well with what Housely is doing... might just have been an astute pickup. Missed it by an "s" :p Quote
Sabel79 Posted September 28, 2017 Report Posted September 28, 2017 Missed it by an "s" :p Oh hell no, son. I transcribed it from the friggin' Sabres app. The first few were humorous, that time I looked it up... Quote
The Dominator Posted September 28, 2017 Report Posted September 28, 2017 Thoughts: - I love the O'Reilly line. It just seems to click. - Still looking for a little more chemistry from the Eichel/Kane combo. I think Pommer's vet savvy will work well with Eichel. Once all three are clicking, this will be a lethal offensive attack. - Agree with everyone's remarks on Josefson and Larsson - It's clear that this group of defensemen fit Housley's system when it comes to traits. I think the first portion of the year will feature a noticeable amount of frustrating 2 on 1 goals from counter attacks by the opposition while this team learns to cover for each other and improve in transition.  Nothing earth-shattering from me, just thought I would put it out there. Go Sabres! Quote
Thorner Posted September 28, 2017 Report Posted September 28, 2017 Oh hell no, son. I transcribed it from the friggin' Sabres app. The first few were humorous, that time I looked it up... Holy crap you are correct, sir! I had it wrong this whole time. Boy is my face red. Quote

TrueBlueGED Posted September 28, 2017 Report Posted September 28, 2017 I'm excited. I think we're going to be pretty good this year, if disjointed and chaotic for a bit. Playoffs? Playoffs. Quote
