Yup. He's done like dinner. He had one shift early in game 1 where he looked like he was rested and quick. Since then he has looked dead. Super dead. Zombie dead.

big misstake by Dahlin there

[Tondas]

That's a period I can lean into.

Something about Eichel not playing well and...goal? Wut?

Yeah, if we're going with youth and speed then Pommer isn't a great fit as a 3rd / 4th liner.

 

[sabills]

Team looks a little sloppy, but good. I think they had the better of the play that whole period. Nice to see actual outlet passes that connect.

[bills_fan_in_raleigh]

Skinner already demoted to second line.  Has been invisible so far

[Iron Crotch]

I think the Las Vegas Golden Showers will fall back down to Earth this season after last year's freakish run.

No. 

[Stoner]

Of all the things you can do with captain+Jack Eichel, Rick's call is "Captain, my captain"? So stale. That's the one thing about Rick's decline that is so curious to me. How he got so boring. Absolutely nothing original with goal calls or player names for years now.

Yeah he got lucky there. Hoping to see him use his offensive skill and join the rush a little more too, though I think that will come as he gets comfortable

A goal on great shot but frankly I don't think he's stood out so far this season. Not doubting ability.

Mean he's had no inspiration since 2007

[Trettioåtta]

Good period. Felt like we controlled the flow most of it. Some nice quick puck recoveries

Gotta disagree with that. Dude has moves. He's looked good.

yea kid needs to learn by his misstakes, which im sure he does.

Would love to see him on 1st pp unit

[Iron Crotch]

I was never a fan, but I'm starting to come around on Rodriguez. He isn't terrible.

I think he wasn't that bad, he had some shifty moves in the offensive zone.    He'll create more chances soon.

Needs to learn yet been one of best players so far. At 18 not complaining.

Yup - only got to watch a few minutes of the 1st period, but he looks bad - got pushed around - and then he passed it across ice to center ice - where there was no one to take it - and turned it over to Vegas.   It gave me not so found recollection of the Captain Creampuff days..... jeez!!!

Don't want to argue, so imagine this being asked with a smile and a pat on the back, but, what would you like him to do he hasn't done yet?

[Jsixspd]

Away, Pommenstein aside, from the 3 or 4 minutes I was able to watch,   looked like a good first period for the Sabres.

Pommer will be gone soon enough.  Kyle speaking between periods is more of a concern.  I'm hoping he can "find another gear" this year and keep up.

That would help a lot.

Stand out offensively. He hasn't played bad but don't think he's stood out either. I think he's better than he's shown and I'm confident we'll see him standout more than he has. May be just me but he isn't generating plays the way he can.

[Cityo'Rasmii]

Beautiful rip from Jack

Skinner will come around, he will be fine

How sweet it is to have control in goal, thanks Hutts
