There you go! They sell the big bags cheaper. Well, per unit cheaper.

Store it in the man bun rather than the cabinet.

It's been absolutely awful and dreadful to watch.

The pace of play is nowhere near what it could be, due to all the lead blocking, as I call it, that goes on every game.

Could be wrong on the game, but somewhere on this western road trip - I believe Anaheim, ROR got his feet taken out from under him on a partial break in front of the net. No call. Several times this year jack has been "leaned on" while chasing pucks in the offensive zone. God forbid the league lets scoring chances happen

I wanna believe there's some sort of shift taking place, slowly but happening. Guys like Tanev and Lindholm getting far more recognition for positioning and stick work vs the guy who has 1 big hit for every 10 misses or the guy who's felt rubber more times than a hooker.

What game this year is the "Sam Reinhart game"?

I can name a bunch for Jack, Kane, ROR even.

I can't think of really any game 23 was dominant or looked the part of a star.

When are u gonna stop beating this dead horse?
He's in his 2nd year and improving
Apparently not enough for u, but whatever...

You always seem to have to find a guy to constantly b!tch about
Sam isn't part of the problem
Move on

No one said he was.
We get it, you can't want more out of a guy drafted 2nd overall.

I also didn't start this convo either, so maybe take your complaints to that poster

role 3 lines

nylander-eichel-baptiste
kane-reinhart-okposo
bailey-ror-gionta (or free agent)

no reason why those 3 centers can't get close to 20 minutes per night after adding special team minutes

4th line
foligno-girgens/e rod-girgens/ e rod/fasching


move ennis, bogo, gorges, moulson

and find the right 2 d men

- homiedclown




Sounds like a decent plan
Although it looks like Nylander is gonna need more time in Rochester
NyR needs to dump Nash...
maybe we can get him to play on Eichel's wing for next season?

It's his 2nd season, and complaining about someone who isn't part of the problem makes little sense

Do you think we should move him in the summer for defenseman since he probably could get a very good one

When you only have 50% of the shot share in like 10 out of 60 games, i dont think you can call it an average d-group.
- Sabresfan-365


The projected group of Vegas defencemen looked deeper and better than our group.

Leave them open for a few days. They firm up. You got a real fresh bag.

I've been rooting for as many Goals/Assists/ and Improved play from our players who will be around in two years, while still hoping for a loss.

What good does a game with a deflected shot from Franson and a winner from Moulson getting US? Nothing. On the other hand if the core plays a great game, I don't mind them winning. If we're being outplayed by the opponent, every fan should root for a lose. We only have 10 to go.

When I started this style of Fandom, we were 12th from the bottom with people hoping for a playoff run, I wouldn't have minded that, but thats not what we got. So since then we have finally gotten down to Number 7!
My goal is 5-6

Losing tonight is HUGE!, I want the Redwings/Carolina/Winnipeg/Vancouver above us!

Our Defense is Grade A, don't you know its SAMSON's fault, and if we could've kept Armia and Stafford

complaining about someone who isnt really part of the solution is a little more justified though no?


I like him, but we drafted him as a cornerstone and to date he's been a very good complimentary player.

I lay some of that blame on the coaching staff for not testing his limits but it says a lot if they're not confident in doing so.

I don't think any team is gonna trade a top pair defenseman
So no, I would not wanna trade Sam
Not unless it's for a legit top pair guy

I'd try to do a Fasching + type deal & see what that gets us
Should be a solid 2nd pair guy
If we can get 2 of them, that should help our defense quite a bit
