Brawndo Posted October 6, 2019 Report Posted October 6, 2019 At what point does New Jersey do something with Hughes? Per Manny Elk has Corsi through two games is 9%. I realize it’s been two games, but He doesn’t have the strength to compete in the NHL yet. Let him dominate the A? Or would the USHL or CHL be best for him?

Good lord, that was nothing next to the Academy Award performance put in by McDavid tonight with about 7.5 minutes left in the game. Skated right into a Kings defender, grabbed onto him and flailed like he was getting buttraped to draw an interference penalty that led to the winning goal. So glad we have Eichel. McD is a bitch, just like Crosby. 2
... Posted October 6, 2019 Report Posted October 6, 2019 3 hours ago, Randall Flagg said: Eichel is a special player and really wants Victor to score When Olofsson was up with the team late last season, recall that Jack was constantly talking to him on ice and on the bench. Jack loves Victor and saw something in him Phil did not. I love catching glimpses of that - like tonight with Jack communicating with Olofsson with the head movement. Soon they'll just need to glance at each other. I bet you dollars to donuts Jack and Samson already have that going on. Says a lot about how Jack thinks the game, which is not Xs and Os. 1

Now, in reflection, the eye test really did tell us that. There was a lot of "puck luck" and "they're learning to win" replies to that. What do we have now? Is this sustainable? Are they amped up because it's the beginning of the season and had something to prove and this type of play will disappear, or has RK figured out a way to sustain this - and if so, is this even the best they can play? I see no sense in pondering how far they could drop, we have seen that.

It will be interesting if Hutton gets the nod again on Monday. Yeah I don’t see it happening until they lose but Vesey seems invisible to me.

I know it's blasphemy to many, but when talking 2 comparable talents, I'll take the smooth-dishing playmaker over the sniper every time. Just a stylistic preference really, ultimately the elite vision impresses most, IMO Jack's probably a better goal scorer than Matthews is passer. At least if he can iron out his breakaways. And I think he can be/already is as good of a playmaker as Auston is a goal scorer. Maybe not quite as Matthews is near the top of the league at his strength, and Jack statistically hasn't done that yet, in Assists. But Jack has a top 10 league assist season in him, I think.

He might score 50...in 50 lol Sometimes that man just looks unstoppable

Doohicksie Posted October 6, 2019 Author Report Posted October 6, 2019 Seeing the Sabres in the 50 unis is like seeing the arrival of Gandolf the White. 4
Kelly the Dog Posted October 6, 2019 Report Posted October 6, 2019 I know Olofsson was really small in his draft year but how does he last until round seven? He’s a sneaky good passer like Reinhart, he wins battles, he kills penalties, his shot is not only quick and hard but very accurate. He’s coachable. What was not to like? Methinks fans will jump on the bandwagon because he’s going to score goals with Jack and on that PP, but he’s an all around player. 2

PerreaultForever Posted October 6, 2019 Report Posted October 6, 2019 I went out tonight so i recorded this and just finished watching it. here's my in depth analysis: Damn, that was f'n awesome!!!!! Most fun I've had watching the Sabres since I don't know when. Total domination. All the stuff's already been said, I'm just going to add I said parts of the Pitt game were dull D hockey. This time none of it was dull. That was maybe the road version this is the home version. This season just might be fun.............. I believe in Kreuger!

The leafs blew a 4-1 lead last night. Yeah they're scoring but are losing goals at the other end too. Will be an interesting match up against us.

At some point I thought to look for him (or, tbh, a top pick whose name I could not recall). Never noticed him.
That Aud Smell Posted October 6, 2019 Report Posted October 6, 2019 I went to the game in January 2019 when the Sabres curb stomped the Devils 5-1. I’m wondering if the Sabres just have that team’s number, a little.
