Thorner Posted September 30, 2017 Report Posted September 30, 2017 I think October might be a little rough I hope not, or we could find our playoff hopes taking a severe early dent. Quote

LGR4GM Posted September 30, 2017 Author Report Posted September 30, 2017 Damn. We still suck. Oh no we suck again! Someone find the YouTube Quote
Randall Flagg Posted September 30, 2017 Report Posted September 30, 2017 ROR? Okposo? Jack? Where are you? This is why I'm not worried. Our biggest "disappointments" relative to what they can bring are going to be our best players and biggest try-hards when the real thing starts. That said, if we continue to see disjointed chemistry I would blow the lines up completely, and go something like O'Reilly - Eichel - Girgensons Fast guy - Reinhart - Okposo Kane - Larsson - Pominville Pouliot - Josefson - Nolan or something. Also, did Bogosian play that period at all? Quote
Thorner Posted September 30, 2017 Report Posted September 30, 2017 Highlight of the game was Beaulieu low-key sliding his hockey stick to that young fan on their way off the ice.

Thorner Posted September 30, 2017 Report Posted September 30, 2017 Antpin - Reinhart - Okposo ..not bad. Quote
Weave Posted September 30, 2017 Report Posted September 30, 2017 Pretty sure you could find some chemistry with Sam on Jacks wing. Just sayin.... Quote

Randall Flagg Posted September 30, 2017 Report Posted September 30, 2017 Pretty sure you could find some chemistry with Sam on Jacks wing. Just sayin.... Through two periods, Sam's line was the only one on the ice during a Sabres scoring chance. I wanna see this get a little more time, especially since Sam-Jack's chemistry rapidly cooled off last year. Quote

Randall Flagg Posted September 30, 2017 Report Posted September 30, 2017 As in Moulson - Reinhart - Griffith or just Sam at C in general? Whoever Sam's even strength linemates were, I wasn't paying that close attention Quote
Weave Posted September 30, 2017 Report Posted September 30, 2017 Whyinthehell wouldnt the priority be making sure Jack has linemates with chemistry? Quote
Thorner Posted September 30, 2017 Report Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) Bogosian is injured. Didn't play the 3rd. Housley said no update have to evaluate tomorrow. There is no reason anyone should ever consider Bogosian to be a viable top 4 option. Hopefully Scandella plays so we can run: Scandella - Ristolainen McCabe - Antipin .. as our counted on, go to Top 4. That way when we lose Bogo inevitably, the minutes we'll need to replace can be much less severe. I'd rather not be paying 5 million for a third pairing d-man, but if we can't trade him it's probably the best option. Edited September 30, 2017 by Thorny Quote

Randall Flagg Posted September 30, 2017 Report Posted September 30, 2017 Is there any doubt that we're going to have to start the season with an extended period of no McCabe, Scandella, or Bogosian? WTF is with our injury luck? Quote

CallawaySabres Posted September 30, 2017 Report Posted September 30, 2017 I refuse to watch 1 second of pre-season because there is no way I will be able to think for 1 more second that our team sucks yet again. If it looks bad even after 1 period of me being at the opener, I will not be in a good place and start selling tickets very fast. I have had enough of bad hockey and can't take another year of it.
