The Season Finale GDT Buffalo at Florida 4/7/18 7pm MSG GR

[Thorner]

Hate to support Blue on anything, but I think he’s right about Nylander maybe being a better NHLer than AHLer.

What he’s impressed me with is the way he understands spacing and puck movement.

Might be a guy who needs to be playing with players who think the same game.

I feel like Reinhart is similar in that way.

[Stoner]

Hmmm, so that offensive zone draw by ROR... not a win, right? He drew it back and one of the Panthers stepped out and got it.

[Brawndo]

Risto maybe pinch in to get that puck?

[Nitro60]

Come in, Tokyo.

Hope she is compliant.  :)  Tune in!!!

[dudacek]

I feel like Reinhart is similar in that way.

Definitely.

It’s a weird distinction, but Reinhart can’t make plugs better the way some top forwards can, but he can make good players better.

 

And for some weird reason, I really want Sam to hit 50 tonight.

Right, Trocheck was given credit for a win.

[Taro T]

I feel like Reinhart is similar in that way.

Reinhart is definitely a guy that doesn't drive an NHL line at present but can complement quality linemates.

 

It'd be awesome if Nylander is in that same-ish mold.

[Stoner]

Hope she is compliant.  :)  Tune in!!!

My brother and I have always said Come in, Tokyo while pretending to tune a radio with each hand. Just googled it, and apparently the saying is indeed Tune in.

[Taro T]

Last period of Sabres hockey for six months!!

:(

 

Good. This has been the most disappointing & therefore frustrating season in team history.

 

Looking forward to 6 months of not having them around.

[Stoner]

Almost 300 goals for Vrbata? Surprising.

[Randall Flagg]

Nylander isn't slow, but anyone who thinks he's fast is dreaming. 

ROR and he streaking up the ice, and ROR keeps up just fine despite Nylander pumping his arms and ROR stick-handling.

[Taro T]

Almost 300 goals for Vrbata? Surprising.

Hasn't he been around almost 20 seasons?

 

15 gpy * 20 y = 300. ;)

[Stoner]

Slow release from Sam there.

Hasn't he been around almost 20 seasons?

15 gpy * 20 y = 300. ;)

He's had 27, 35, 31.

[dudacek]

More faceoffs please.

First I’ve ive ever said that.

[Brawndo]

He only needs one more win right?

[Taro T]

Slow release from Sam there.

Eh, 20 gpy * 15 y = 300. :p

More faceoffs please.

First I’ve ive ever said that.

You've obviously never coached a team that has issues getting the puck out of its own end. ;)

[Brawndo]

ROR is now the NHL Record Holder for most faceoff wins in a season

Holy , something good actually came out of this season

Good for him. Let's hope that next year (presuming he's back) that he doesn't come anywhere close to the record because that'd mean he isn't taking every single important defensive zone &! Late game faceoff - ideally due to a couple of other guys on the team being able to win faceoffs.

[Randall Flagg]

Yeah, that honestly just gets me more pissed about ROR's usage. And more specifically, our general line usage.

[Brawndo]

POMMERS

[Nitro60]

Finally erase the goose egg.

[Darryl Shannon's +/-]

More importantly, it's attaching value to something that likely doesn't really matter.

[Randall Flagg]

Nice, Casey with another point.

[darksabre]

Good plays by the kids on that goal
