It was laughable when people started bashing Jack lmao

Where’s the 10 million dollar man !!!!!!!!!

- GERBE!!!75PTS


I’ll stand up and say I was one of the most vocal in critiquing Jack’s play.
And for the 1,000th time, it was NEVER on his OFFENSIVE game, but his complete lack of effort on the DEFENSIVE side of the game...and his pursuit of the puck when he lost it rather than stopping, look8n* up to the rafters and rolling his eyes.

But, YOU and a couple others just can’t seem to understand that. Go leRn to read with comprehension, the stop re-writtiing the narrative.

Jack’s play has improved emmensly on the D side, which contributes to his offensive production.

Lastly, Jack started to take more shots himself rather than being almost exclusively a set-up man.

So go suck your lemon balls.

A lot of the offensively talented guys struggle with this early on in their careers. They didn't need to play on the Dside at all in Jr's and prob not much at all in NCAA either. I said the same as you though. Its got to improve if we are going to move forward with the plan. Everyone has got to commit to playing defense or no goalie or defensemen will survive and we will never be a competitive team

Thanks.
The other point I was driving hard was and remains, if you leader ain’t doing it, the rest aren’t doing it.

But the know-it-all’s focus solely on Goals and Assists to judge a player like Jack.
It is truly laughable.

It's the primary reason some of the best (offensive) players in the league are on losing teams that will never win a cup. I could start a list but I don't think it's necessary. We are all well versed here

I love it. 20 games ago, people were ready to extend Kane and entertain offers for Eichel.

Not ever me. I only repeated over and over sell while he is hot. Hopefully his stock has not gone down since he has been invisible for the past 10 games

Idk...
goal scorers are streaky
All it’s gonna take is a good stretch & the teams who already like him will be re-affirmed in their beliefs as to why

Teams aren’t really gonna think he suddenly sucks now

- jdfitz77



Jfitz,
Why not argue the kane's value is UP again and that scouts are looking for upside, not current play.

Now 1 game later you agree with my points.

Well I’m a glass half full kind of guy i guess

Some ppl on here just seem to want to be miserable
That’s just not me

- jdfitz77


People on here are realistic.

You just keep saying "I'm not convinced"
I'm giving him more time.

Lehner is not a good goalie
Silent sam is a bust - recently you are finally agreeing?
Nylander- your not giving up hope ect.
He is horrible in the ahl!

Kane's value is some how UP. even though he has been completely non existent the past dozen or so games. You think: Scouts dont want to see players play well (CURRENTLY), they don't look back and say, wow kane was good for 30 games early in the season. Scouts are looking for results, not upside.

I'm not being miserable, I'm stating an opinion , you just argue with anything/ everything anyone points out.

You are generally wrong

Including last nights win the Sabres are 2-21-6 in games when scoring 2 or fewer goals. 10-5-3 in games where they score 3 or more. [/img]

It's stats like these that drive home how simple hockey can be. Score more = wins.

It can't be Eichel contributing on 42.7% of goals

No, no, no, the team is fantastic, it's Lehner and Johnson holding everyone back. You'll see, we'll trade them and sign Daren Puppa in the offseason and everything will change!

I saw that 42.7% and thought, "Boy Jack must be getting sick of this poop"

I'm just saying if you want to maximize the return why play him 13min a game on the 3rd line? Keep him on the top line with Eichel and fluff his stats/ value
