bob_sauve28 Posted March 3, 2022 Report Posted March 3, 2022 I wonder who will have more goals/points going forward in their careers, Eichel or Thompson 1 Quote

Crusader1969 Posted March 3, 2022 Report Posted March 3, 2022 One complaint I have about Granato is the use of the Eakin line after the Sabres score a goal. happens way too often for my liking.  Immediately, the Eakin line is pressured and scrambling.  Lucky to get out of the period without conceding  1 Quote
Broken Ankles Posted March 3, 2022 Report Posted March 3, 2022 Meatballs plays his God awful 4th line with Hagg and Pysyk when a.) they give up goals to this team in the last minute like nobody’s business b.) they give up goals to all teams after scoring  themselves.  Quote

I feel like Pysyk and Hagg have played well together tonight. We may end up losing both players eventually, but they seemed steady as a pair of vets playing within themselves against the speedy Leafs. 1 Quote

It’s in their DNA. 1 Quote

Â Having a 50 goal scorer on the checking line was nice. Â 1 Quote

Doohicksie Posted March 3, 2022 Report Posted March 3, 2022 "It's not about getting rid of the puck, it's what play is there to be made." Marty Biron on Peyton Krebs. Preczactly, Marty. 7 minutes ago, Zamboni said: Oh much much muuuuuch better 😉 Yeah, sorry 'bout the giraffe. He's moved so far beyond that. The gif is hosted on some random meme site though and I don't have it linked from my phone. 1 Quote

Believer Posted March 3, 2022 Report Posted March 3, 2022 Would love to hear the locker room talk right now… Better come out strong and smart… Play fast… Finish… Quote

Because the team is so young (and will be next year) and lacks depth, should they look at getting together a pure energy line as a 4th line? A line that plays OK defensively if they get hemmed in, but if they get the puck into the offensive zone they're dumping and punishing the defense. Like Vegas' inaugural season. Lots of hits. A few fights. Fewer than 10:00 per night. 3 Quote

My dream is that next year we have a REAL fourth line. For instance, I could easily see Mitts-Cozens-Okie as a fourth line to go up against other teams' top lines and still have some scoring punch. 9 minutes ago, Believer said: Sabres skating, shooting, attacking the net… Love to see this effort… I wish we could see it more. Over the last decade of awfulness, the one constant is when they hustle, when they push the play, they succeed. They simply don't do that enough. 9 minutes ago, bob_sauve28 said: I wonder who will have more goals/points going forward in their careers, Eichel or Thompson Wow. What a concept. 1 Quote

Doohicksie Posted March 3, 2022 Report Posted March 3, 2022 Not sure if Marty's tie is supposed to be blue and gold for the Sabres or blue and yellow for the Ukraine. I like to think that it's for the Ukraine. 2 1 Quote
