Ogre Posted December 6, 2018 Report Posted December 6, 2018 I also think that it’s worth noting that the whole team in general plays a far more physically aggressive game than I’ve seen the last few years. The younger guys seemed to shy away from that style at first but everyone has been in on the hitting. Even Nylander has had some big time hits. That’s one thing I’ve noticed with Asplund’s lately. Finishing those hits. Taylor has these guys playing with attitude and when they’re “getting it on” they’re nearly unstoppable. Quote
Ogre Posted December 6, 2018 Report Posted December 6, 2018 My seats are across the ice from the benches because I like to see the coaches reactions but a prior commitment kept me away last night. I watched the end of the first and the rest of the game on TV and it was nice to get a close up view of Taylor ripping them a new one when they slacked off a bit in the third. 1 Quote
Randall Flagg Posted December 6, 2018 Report Posted December 6, 2018 Awesome details, keep em coming! Quote
Samson's Flow Posted December 6, 2018 Report Posted December 6, 2018 I watched much of the game last night on MSG and the Amerks looked like a clone of our current Sabres team. Fast skating and hyper aggressive 5 man forecheck. I was entertained and saw a very good effort against Utica. Quote

The motto for this entire organization for this season should be “Are you entertained?” That certainly seems to be the theme of all 3 teams. Fast skating, hard working, forechecking, active D and going to he net. It really is amazing when a plan comes together. Quote

There are no injuries. Cincinnati has a few days off and Jonas has been playing well so why not see? He looked pretty good btw. Well other than getting in a little bit over his head behind the net that one time. Quote

Johansson is part of the plan. Jbot wanted more experience in Roch (including NHL time) to back stop the Sabres in case of injury to Hutton and Ullmark which is why he brought in Wedgewood and kept he experienced Wilcox as the backup in the AHL. However Johansson is the only legit goalie prospect in professional part of the organization. I think Jbot wants to develop him slowly and groom him to be a possible backup to Ullmark in Buffalo at some point and as a goalie to expose come expansion time. Remember there is no NHL PT requirement for the exposed goaltender. They just have to be either under contract or an RFA w a tender offer. Quote
inkman Posted December 9, 2018 Report Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) Amerks win 4-3. Olofsson and a bunch of guys you don't care about with goals. Guhle, Asplund and CJ Smith with helpers. Edited December 9, 2018 by inkman Quote
Ogre Posted December 9, 2018 Report Posted December 9, 2018 The win last night was big. Syracuse has 3 games in hand and this win put us 6 pts ahead. They also won Friday vs the Bruins. The first time we’ve bested them in 10 yrs. Bailey scored both the Amerks goals. The second was unassisted. Stole the puck at the blue line and completely smoked McIntyre. Quote

Brawndo Posted December 9, 2018 Author Report Posted December 9, 2018 CJ Smith would be a very good Sobotka Replacement 3 Quote
Two or less Posted December 10, 2018 Report Posted December 10, 2018 I've liked Eric Cornel too. It's a make it or break it season for him but i thought he's been solid and i thought he was pretty solid in the second half last season too. I wonder when they give him a chance? I think he could be a solid fourth line player. Danny Paille esque. (the Bruins version) 1 Quote

Could make a nice 4th liner but I don't see the opportunity with Buffalo. Quote

I don't think there's an AHL game tracker to check but he had 1 point through his first 14 games, and 8 points in his last 10 or so. Quote

Instead of replacing the cheap guys who don't produce they should get rid of the overpaid guys who don't produce. Quote
