The kid is asleep. Wife's out. Just settled in with a tasty beverage out in the werande (pronounced veranda), and yes, that is Polish for porch, on this glorious fall evening. A little Bruins/Golden Knights pre game action waiting for the Sabres. F in Fantastic.

Looking forward to a good game.

NLCS for me.

 

We have another game tonight

Underrated GDT opening post.

Lines per Harrington

 

Reinhart stays with Girgs & ROR as he did in LA. Also: Kane-Eichel-Pominville, Pouliot-Larsson-Bailey, Moulson-Josefson-Nolan. #Sabres 

 

 

Def: 6 55, 82 5, 4 19

So, Jack Eichel has 120 points in the National Hockey League, in his first 147 games. Ranging in age from 18-20. On this team.

 

Ya, he's really good.

 

Ugh why is Kane back with Eichel? Why?

I just don't understand it either.

I wonder if Bailey will kill penalties

Because he flat out refuses to give Kane his own line which could actually allow scoring to get spread around.

 

Girgensons, a guy that most would put on the 3rd line had 3 points in 5 periods playing w/ Eichel & Pominville (another guy most figured was destined for 3rd line duty). If, by putting your 3rd line wingers w/ your top center you can generate that kind of offense from that line, use your other "scorers" in a combination that actually generates more than 2 additional scoring chances per game.

 

Quite annoying.

Or even just play Kane with O'Reilly and Reinhart. Many have wanted to see Kane with Sam, and he'd help add a speed element to that line.

Which is at least trying to spread the offense around & attempting to jumpstart 2 guys that need to be going better.

 

Bylsma never gave the Girgensons-Eichel experiment more than an instant here or there. Had hoped w/ all the ballyhoing about Housley that he'd give them more than getting a regular shift together for ~102 minutes of line rolling.

 

Frustrating.

Sabres so far

1) played well, deserved to win

2) Imploded after a decent start and gave the game away

3) Absolutely sucked

4) played a boring, tentative game but kept it close enough they could have won

5) played a good game but lost

6) win
