Cascade Youth Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 Tage “Tigger” Thompson played his best game as a Sabre tonight. He is really becoming a weapon, you can see the confidence growing and I can see this kid becoming a 20-goal scorer easily. Sheary needs to finish. Been an issue all year. Risto is irreplaceable. Seemed like Mitts had almost no ice time tonight - he’s really struggling to find his game. Skinner is a special player and I’d really hate to lose him. Both of his goals were self-generated plays that almost no one else makes. Can’t believe we stole him away in the first place. Don’t let him leave the building. 2 Quote

If, by Saturday, you mean in ~ 2 hours, yes. 27 minutes ago, PASabreFan said: What am I missing? Why no challenge on the Sabres' no goal? No idea. Housley should've challenged that. Could've cost them at least 1 point. It was clear on replay he was checked (twice) into Luongo. Overall, really happy with the effort. Thought the lines & pairings worked well tonight. I know people don't like Dahlin & Scandella, but Pilut really needs to be with Bogosian when he's out there. And McCabe-Ristolainen is their best pair. And Housley AIN'T sitting Scandella. (Whether that is a good decision is a discussion for another day.) And Beaulieu seems scary when out with either Dahlin or Scandella. So, pretty sure, that "full time partner" that people wanted for Dahlin will be (until injury mixes stuff up again) the guy the don't want. Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. Mittelstadt will be well served getting the easier opponents of 4th line duty. The one noticable time Reinhart & Skinner were pinned in their own end (prior to Florida pulling the goalie) came with Casey after a PK. Would be fine with them running these lines with Rodrigues taking Elie's spot when Eichel comes back. At least for a couple of games. They need to all keep that energy level up. Work like this in Beantown & keep the shifts short. I'd expect they swap Beaulieu back in for the added size against the B's. Send the Chowdaheads home cryin' in thea beas and start a new streak. Work like the 2nd 1/2 of the Aisles game & it could be ugly. Quote

Taro T Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 And they now are on pace for exactly 100 points. Do that again over the next 41, and they're in the playoffs. Quote
SwampD Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 That was a fun game. Liked their fight tonight. Tage was great. Dahlin was magic. Reinhart was,… Reinhart,… which is really good. ERod did his job. He has a place on my team. Quote

pi2000 Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 Much needed win. Luongo sucked and they did just enough. Didn't they just play in Boston? Who makes this schedule, bunch of clowns. Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 Ullmark with one regulation loss all season...... Hutton with one regulation win in the last nine games............. Hmmmm, who do you start? 1 Quote

PerreaultForever Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 I thought the lame PP on the 2 man advantage would sink us but Skinner showed his stuff again. So much energy and effort in that guy and fast as lightning. I sure hope we sign him long term. We could use a few more guys like him. Quote

Sobotka is much easier to take when others are scoring. I love Dahlin, but his pillowy soft side is starting to grate on me. Sheary is grinding his stick to sawdust.

Huckleberry Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 Only Tampa is really running away with it, Toronto is only 4 points ahead of us. This is going to be an exciting wild card race. Anyone in the metro can still lose out and drop outside the playoffs. We all know what we need. Quote

pi2000 Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 Did not like Rodrigues between Skinner/Reinhart. That line was pinned in their own end on quite a few occasions. Rodrigues just doesn't have the strength to win any pucks down low. If I'm Housley I move Reinhart to center on that line and promote somebody like Sheary who's been snakebit. 1 Quote

The ref probably said it was not a reviewable play. No. It was not the ref's decision whether or not to challenge the ref's call. It was Housley's. And I disagree with Hamilton that the call absolutely would not have been overturned. The hit from the 1st Panther sent him towards the net & the 2nd redirected him into Luongo. Not saying it absolutely would have been overturned, but there was a legitimate argument to have it overturned & should it have happened, the game was essentially over. In a worst case, they lose a timeout that they didn't use any how. Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 That was fun. I need to say it, the refs did not have a good game, they really just missed big plays and it bit buffalo on the 1st one. Yandle needs a shot, bad, I can't believe it didn't happen, but we won, so in the end I guess that's what matters. Tage looked great and Okposo had some bull moves and some beast mode out there tonight. Middlesuck probably needs to sit for a game, his confidence is shot. Dahlin is soft-ish, but he's like 9 years old, he skated tonight like he was in the beginning of the year, I enjoyed his little moves to get us outta trouble. We slayed a panther, now let's harpoon a Bruin Quote
