jsb Posted March 7, 2018 Report Posted March 7, 2018 One. ;) I hope so because my head hurts waiting this out :wallbash: Quote
PerreaultForever Posted March 7, 2018 Report Posted March 7, 2018 It really was putting a damper on things that I was considering it "okay" to trade a former #2 overall pick. Who has been with the Sabres for 4 seasons, who is a good soldier and wants to write the fort. This is someone we need to build around, not jettison. So I'm back on board. Go #23! I'm still going to stick with the idea that no one - not even Jack - should be untouchable on a terrible hockey team. If they can improve the team, trade anyone. Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted March 7, 2018 Report Posted March 7, 2018 It would appear he's growing up before our very eyes. Yup, such a young player. I think we should keep this in mind when thinking about all these other young players we have. Crazy to count out Nylander yet, for instance Quote
Doohicksie Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 I predict a career game from Reinhart against Calgary tonight. 4pt game... he's rolling (despite Housley's broken system hahahaha). Oopsie. Quote
GoPuckYourself Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 It always seems like a mirage, where is he during the season when there is actually playoffs on the line? He's a very streaky player and I know scorers go through this where they don't score sometimes but he is almost never to be found during the beginning of seasons. Quote
dudacek Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 Reinhart’s monthly totals in each of his three seasons: 4-5-6-5-8-12-2 4-8-9-9-8-8-1 4-6-1-9-13-?-? Quote
Samson's Flow Posted March 8, 2018 Author Report Posted March 8, 2018 Reinhart’s monthly totals in each of his three seasons: 4-5-6-5-8-12-2 4-8-9-9-8-8-1 4-6-1-9-13-?-? Interesting. For clarification, what are the # of games in each of the months (Oct/Nov/Dec/Jan/Feb/Mar/Apr)? Looking at this years schedule every month was basically full except April (only 4 games), and October started 10/5 so it was mostly a full month. How do we get those October 4pt months in line with the rest of the year? Quote
dudacek Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) It varies but typically October has a weeks worth of fewer games and April just a week of games total. Edited March 8, 2018 by dudacek Quote
Samson's Flow Posted March 8, 2018 Author Report Posted March 8, 2018 It varies but typically October has a weeks worth of fewer games and April just a week of games total. That's what I gathered as well. So the early struggles look to be more tangible than just fewer games played. And we can basically ignore the 1's and 2's in the last month as there are only a handful of games. Looks like last year was incredibly consistent where this year has been far more hot/cold streaky.

dudacek Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) Streaky doesn’t really fit considering year one was steady improvement pretty much from start to finish and year two remarkable consistency. This year he followed up another tepid start with easily the worst month of his career, then two of his three best. Edited March 8, 2018 by dudacek Quote

I said streaky only referring to this year, which he had a terrible cold spell followed by his recent hot production. Your characterization is probably more accurate. Quote
BuffaloBorn Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) So, do we still want to trade Sam for scraps As Soon As Humanly Possible because the "league's faster". Remember I said don't trade him; he has PPG potential? #toldyouso Who knew, different players develop at different rates Edited March 9, 2018 by BuffaloBorn Quote
Brawndo Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 He has tied his goal total from last season. Quote
darksabre Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 He has tied his goal total from last season. Which is incredible given his terrible start. Quote
Brawndo Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 Which is incredible given his terrible start. Wonder how it would have been if the center experiment had never been tried Quote
dudacek Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 Wonder how it would have been if the center experiment had never been tried What was very interesting about that month to month breakdown was how his worst month actually happened after he was moved back to wing. Quote
Brawndo Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 What was very interesting about that month to month breakdown was how his worst month actually happened after he was moved back to wing. Interesting, needed to regain confidence perhaps? Whatever it was it’s working. Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 He better not cut his hair . Any question left that this kid has figured it out and is ready to get to the next level and be the star we thought we drafted? Best comment on the pairing tonight of ROR and Sam, I think it was Ray who said they work well together because they go as the same speed. Quote

Best comment on the pairing tonight of ROR and Sam, I think it was Ray who said they work well together because they go as the same speed. I heard that from Ray and thought it was a good point. They're both on the same page with each other, which is what we need. We need players that work well together. Now I need that winger for Jack. Quote

Best comment on the pairing tonight of ROR and Sam, I think it was Ray who said they work well together because they go as the same speed. And I would argue it isn't just skating speed that is an important factor. Early in Sam's career there would be times where I would see him look to the open area on the ice wanting to pass to a Sabre player that wasn't there. ROR seems to have that spacial awareness to be in the spot Sam was expecting (and vice versa) so they are able to play off one another. Quote
Derrico Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 Yes. Now that we know he is a winger (and could be damn good one at that) let's start him with ROR Game 1 next season. This year has turned into another lost year where experimenting with line combos should hopefully benefit us to start the season next year. Quote

Who would Jack's RW now if KO is Ko'd for this season and maybe for his career if the concussion is severe enough? Quote
