Michael Pachla: Eichel rips one home. Ristoainen rocks it. Buffalo downs Arizona 2-1

Another 2 pts for QB Risto. Loved the finish of the game. Nobody backing down. Bogo apparently didn't like Duclair holding one of his arms in the scrum

yeah, that was fun to watch...bogo had a crazed smile on his face after things settled down which was awesome to see

Great game last night a lot of good effort from the boys.

Loved the tenacity

Found this last night from our old timer Jay McKee :

I love to see a little fire in Risto and bogo.
Gotta stick up for your teammates. Ive seen people complaining about doan but imo if you had OEL on your team you would hope someone would step in and break that up too. No problems from either side

And a pretty good 3rd line. That would be our scoring 3rd line.

Kane-O'Reilly-Reinhart
Puljujarvi-Eichel-Fasching
McGinn-Girgensons-Ennis
Deslauries-Schaller-Foligno/Larsson

That 2nd line is way too young as is the rest of the team, but they could become really good. Or bad. But hopefully good.

I almost don't know how to react when I see a real, actual quality lineup for the Sabres.

Off topic, but What happens at C?

You have Eichel, O'Reilly, Reinhart, ZG....

Is ZG really going to be a #4 or will he be moved? Reinhart is atleast a #2 (not just yet) . So what happens a year or two from now? Who is the #2 and #3 C. Or does Reinhart just play Wing?

I say this cause I believe Reinhart and O'Reilly are both top 6 material.

Is this your way of leading into a trade proposal?

I think a lot of it had to do with Reinhart getting jabbed in the face a few times and that sent Bogo into a tizzy...

Also I have to say Mike Weber probably played his best game in a Sabres sweater last night.

Looks like Reinhart will be on the wing going forward. I wasn't thrilled with the idea at first but him playing with O'Reilly has helped his game.

Wasn't a big fan of him punching Ducalir when he had another Coyote holding him, but whatever.

The crazier thing was that the linesmen pulled 2 Coyotes players off the pile which made it a 5-on-3. If you start pulling players, you need to coordinate it better.

No. I pay special attention to Buff as I have Reinhart and Risto in my Keeper League. I try and watch alot of games. I liked how they rebuilt and are growing as a team. It's what the Canucks should have done.

No lame proposals here.

Yaaahh for John Scott !!!

YESS!!!!!!!! JOHN SCOTT ALL STAR

Yaaahh for John Scott !!!

What happened?

*EDIT* I was able to find a story about it after my initial Googling failed me.

Yes. I don't get the butt hurt people about Scott Being in the All-Star game.

1) He was on the Ballot
2) You allowed fan voting
3) Is your year really ruined over the All-Star game? Is this what you live and die hockey for? C'mon
4) Crosby vs Ovetchkin, Crosby vs Ovetchkin, Crosby vs Ovetchkin, Crosby vs Ovetchkin, Stamkos Stamkos Stamkos, Stamkos. Same thing every year. We get it.

Best part of that scrum last night was Brad May explaining that he didn't intend to just be a "smart as ... er um I mean Alec."

He is the only reason I was even considering watching the all star game.

All I know is that I was going to watch the ASG only because John Scott was playing. Then I wasn't going to watch when the NHL orchestrated the trade to keep him out. Now I'm going to watch again.

Still sucks that Scott has to move across a continent to another country just as his wife is due to give birth to twins because the NHL behaved like a petulant child when it didn't get its way.

any news on suspensions?

YESS!!!!!!!! JOHN SCOTT ALL STAR
- Sabre_Tooth

He is a Captain he should get to make up a new rule, FIGHT COMPETITION!!


If i'm playing against him, i let him score at will honestly. Just to make Bettman mad.


Edit: Let him break the All-star record for goals scored and make him MVP.

Haha, that would be a crazy event!

Yea, they should let him score just like the russian national teams when they let Putin play.
