Let me show you a scenario where special teams don't matter

No, i get it

When a guy u like scores,
snarky comment

And when a player u hate on scores,
nothing


Pommer went to the net uncontested & cleaned up the trash
Not like he did anything special on the play
Jordan Nolan would’ve done the same thing
Eichel is the one who made that play


But 27 year old O’Reilly is overpaid & the problem,
while the 35 year old (who’s a lesser player) “plays his role much better”
And of course, no mention of Pommer’s salary ever

No, the point is that we shouldn’t bank on Nashville taking 5 minute PP’s to win games.

Score more 5 on 5= win more games. It’s that simple

O’Reilly doesn’t score 5 on 5.

So yes, he’s excellent when teams decide to be undisciplined

We should bank on getting boarding majors every game.

I swear this idiocy has to be intentional, right?

1/9 on faceoffs, so let's call it even.
- Lunaion

Faceoffs mean nothing, so it's ok

Middle-stat is gonna be really great.

5 x 5 scoring is important

We are winning this game because we are outscoring the other team. Pp or not

Middle-stat is gonna be really great.

Oh wait, we've gotta see him play, I'm not convinced yet.
He's 19 and playing against college kids. He can't do a pull up.

Being the top 5v5 team in the league is better than being the best pp team in the league.

Being good at both is important.

The haterade after he was drafted was hilarious. To be totally honest, I wasn't a huge fan either at the get go, but after a half hour of reading about him, I was very excited. And now I know why.

Being good at 5v5 is more important, but good on PP can put you over the top.

Bad 5v5 good PP, we've seen how that works in the standings.

Good 5v5, bad PP - you can get into the playoffs.

Good at both is ideal.

Pommer has 3 goals in his last 34 games

Yeah,
He’s playing his role great

Pouliot has 2 goals in his last 20 games
Better re-sign him
Bc there’s no way one of our kids could possibly do that


I don’t think i know anyone who i see things so differently than when it comes to the Sabres

The stuff u say is so baffling

Thank-you.... both are important.

Hes going to HAVE to get A LOT stronger before he can play in the nhl.
Thats the number one deciding factor.

Right.

Usually... 5 on 5 teams are talented. Talented teams usually score on the PP.

He hasn’t looked great
Heck, he hasn’t even looked “good”

Not that I’m bashing him or all that worried
But i do wonder how many on here are gonna be upset if Mittelstadt doesn’t produce like Barzal next season?

Were people hating on him? I was ecstatic he fell. Wasn’t supposed to last to us. Slick player.

Pommer has 3 goals in his last 34 games

Hey, remember when I couldn’t point out Kane’s point totals because he’s just out there to score goals, but you can single out Pommer’s goals? Even though he hasn’t been a big goal scorer in years?

Stop talking about our PPG player.

If u like the Prohibition style cocktails,
there’s quite a few good books out there with good recipes for ya

Again though,
nothing wrong with playing around with proportions to tailor the drink to your personal preferences
- jdfitz77

I have a book that lists a bunch of drink recipes from the 1920's and 30's. The problem is .....many of the ingredients have since been determined to be carcinogen and obviously not recommended.

Eichel has 5 points tonight.

This is clearly his most impressive performance, right?

Stop talking about our PPG player.
