I had a hunch he would


in this crappy start to a season, he is the bounce back sabre IMO and seems to have adjusted to keep a long term spot here

Probably because he's getting to do what he did best. Just go out and play. Use his instincts instead of having to think about where to be and when to be there.

He struggled in that type of super structured system. He's going to thrive in this one.

This is all I have to say without any sort of back reading from yesterday around 5pm:

If you were to tell me after game 4 that:

Kane would have 4 goals and 6 points
Pomminville would have 4 goals and 5 points
Eichel would have 5 points

that they would still be searching for their first win I would say you're high

Where is O'Reilly?
Okposo is playing like he is just happy to be alive
Reinhart where are you????

The defense needs help...a lot of help

Because you said that O'Reilly would be a non factor?
Because Okposo would still act like he is at ECMC?

The reason you said they would be bad is because of the LW depth...

Girgensons is showing life on the 2nd line

But yeah you keep banging the drum

I was like eh, and went to bed instead.

I said no depth at all ..

- said we needed to find someone for Jack
- Kane suffocates Jack
- jack 100 ( you guys said how can he have an increase in points without us winning etc )

I'm a Gus fan but he won't last that long on that line he will have maybe 5-6 games then back to his original spot

I would trade for Matt Duchene today he would save the season

I have confidence Jbots will make the necessary moves, albeit won't happen immediately. lack of speed is extremely evident in today's style of game and in what Housley wants to play. If they can find partners, I think ROR and Sam could be moved but maybe not till TDL or summer. As optimistic as I was heading into the season (i know, i know) a bit more patience and i'm confident we'll be good. Just too much baggage from GMTM

Helps if they're on the big club in the first place. JBotts wants Rochester to succeed this year, which is why they're there right now. So far, so good as they won both of their games last weekend. Let's see if that continues tonight.

While I appreciate they want Rochester to have a winning culture, how hard and how long to they press on with that? If the Sabres continue to suck, one one hand at least you could have at least 1 winning culture instead of two awful ones.

I think that's kind of the plan to be honest. They want the young guys to win together and to bring that up through the NHL ranks as they make the jump.

That seemed to work with Vanek, Roy and Pomminville at the beginning.

They played and won together in Rochester before going to the big club.
