dudacek Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 I think Beaulieu was dazed from the initial contact and was already tipsy when he challenged him Quote
darksabre Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 Can't really ask for a better shift than this one. Quote
Stoner Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 I'm with Randall. When we have guys who can take advantage of the chaos Eichel creates, we'll have something. Girgensons should have scored there, and maybe Okposo too. Yes, two goals on one sequence. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 I'm with Randall. When we have guys who can take advantage of the chaos Eichel creates, we'll have something. Girgensons should have scored there, and maybe Okposo too. Yes, two goals on one sequence. I've watched some of Kucherov-Stamkos recently, and they're so good, but it's almost like Eichel routinely is more impressive, because he simply has to be for anything to happen. One or two quick reads that the Sabres are incapable of and stamkos has an easy tap-in, hardly impressive hockey, but all he had to do was get in the right spot and trust that Kucherov could make a play.  I don't ever see Jack's teammates keep the puck in their possession, much less make a basic harmless play, much less make an actual play to give Jack or anyone else anything to work with. Quote

Brawndo Posted January 23, 2018 Author Report Posted January 23, 2018 Do the Sabres actually have a Top Line now? Quote
Randall Flagg Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 As I say that, credit to KO and Zemgus with a dizzying neutral zone performance to send Jack in, who has had a bad game overall. Quote
dudacek Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 The Eichel line is making happen. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 This game is totally going to have an obnoxiously long offsides challenge on the deciding goal. I can taste it. Quote
LTS Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 This game is totally going to have an obnoxiously long offsides challenge on the deciding goal. I can taste it. Like a day old Big Mac on its way back up? Quote
dudacek Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 I thought he got his head drilled into the ice I think so too, but I think he was already woozy. Quote
Stoner Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 This game is totally going to have an obnoxiously long offsides challenge on the deciding goal. I can taste it. I'm tasting a 12-round shootout. Quote
Samson's Flow Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 I'm with Randall. When we have guys who can take advantage of the chaos Eichel creates, we'll have something. Girgensons should have scored there, and maybe Okposo too. Yes, two goals on one sequence.They haven't been horrible tonight, and we have seen some good offensive zone time tonight. But you're absolutely right - better wingers would have goals and consistently dominate zone time Quote
LTS Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 I think so too, but I think he was already woozy. I wouldn't be surprised if his knee was injured on the initial hit and that caused him to not have his balance and then his head gets nailed to the ice. Quote
Stoner Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 Smith's pretty good at flinging that puck down the ice. Quote
Taro T Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 I think Beaulieu was dazed from the initial contact and was already tipsy when he challenged him Seemed that way. Â Really doubt the Flame ends up facing any discipline for the pile drive as he seemed to be expecting an actual fight against a guy that would fight back. Not sure that "in the heat of battle" that he realized Beaulieu was f##### until he was already spinning him & driving him into the ice. (Haven't rewatched the fight, so maybe there was more intent, but didn't believe so just watching it the one time.) Quote
Randall Flagg Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 Eroooooooooooood get off the ice it's Jack's shift Quote
Stoner Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 And Eichel, by then out of the league and a postal worker, walked into the room... Seemed that way.Really doubt the Flame ends up facing any discipline for the pile drive as he seemed to be expecting an actual fight against a guy that would fight back. Not sure that "in the heat of battle" that he realized Beaulieu was f##### until he was already spinning him & driving him into the ice. (Haven't rewatched the fight, so maybe there was more intent, but didn't believe so just watching it the one time.) Everyone is seeing it differently, but I saw a cheap punch to the side of Beaulieu's face as he was going down. Quote
