i like the pairing of Kane and Eichel.. they both are beasts out there. I just wish they would finish more. it would be nice if they had moulson or girgensons with them to park in front of the net.

Strangest thing I've seen this season, but apparently it's been effective since I believe it's led to at least 2 goals, is Reinhart as the guy in front of the net screening the goalie.

Good news: I have 295.5 points, 3rd or 4th highest in my league
Bad news: I'm playing the guy with the most points, who has 357

I think it's actually been 3 goals it's happened on. But I noticed that too last night. He may not have gotten on the score sheet, but that screen was pretty key to that goal getting scored.

Seems like something that should have been kept private. Definitely makes Sammy look bad, and a bit like a spoiled brat going public.

I don't blame him. While Tyrod Taylor has been doing just enough to win a couple games, mostly with his legs, the passing attack has been mediocre to bad, even before Watkins got hurt. He's your #1 receiver. You should be targeting him like he is. I have no problem with him saying that.

I've been saying that he should stay. I get that he has some rough patches out there, but the main thing he needs to do is adjust to the speed of the game and he's not going to do that in Rochester.

Watkins has played about 8 quarters of football this season

he is pouting off like he is a pro bowl wr, instead of what he really is, a fragile player who can't stay on the field

agreed



he does need top 9 minutes IMO

practicing with the big guys will help him tenfold compared to playing in the AHL

Drouin is in year 2, looks like he is going to be a beast now, hoping the skunk does the same

I'd like him to be targeted more, but I'd also like him to not tell the media about it

well I'll admit when i'm wrong...

...if Reinhart keeps playing like this (and Disco Dan keeps using him like this)...there is no reason to send him down to Roch

sucks to be legwand


on another note...how fricken dirty did the McCabe/Pysyk line look

misses 11 quarters of football in last 3 games

not sure if playing this week

pouts off about # of targets



honestly his timing sucks, if he plays the entire game sunday, they lose by 21 and he gets 4 targets, that's the time for this rant

and even then the rant should be in the locker room not with the media

drouin 6 points in 5 games
1 goal 5 helpers

playing a tad under 16 minutes a night


that is the progression I expect from the skunk a year down the road

Wide Receivers are divas. It's just how it's always been. Big time players have big time personalities. The best teams figure out a way to manage them, not complain about them (not to say the Bills have done either yet).

watkins needs to become a big time player before he can pout like one


it starts by staying on the field


if he doesn't play sunday, park his ass on ir

It's not terrible to have him out there with Deslauriers on the 4th line at the moment. He's getting PP time as well and the 4th line overall isn't only getting 4 minutes a night. He actually had over 12 last night, which is about what Girgensons got to start out the year during his rookie campaign.

and then he's done for the year. I highly doubt that's a good move.
