"Reinhart's is the second-longest active point streak in the NHL, trailing Colorado Avalanche forward Mikko Rantanen and Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin, who each has at least one point in 12 straight games."

Good. We drafted him to be a franchise player. Its about time he started to play like one. That Skinner goal last night was a work of art from start to finish. Nice to see.

serious question

did anyone honestly think the number 2 pick in the 2014 was going to be in the same league as either eichel or mcdavid, hell no

I mean bennett went 4 and dal colle went 5

it was not regarded as a strong draft

I am so impressed how he got a real offensive coach and let the guy be creative

down to their 3rd rb, top wr out early and still go on the road and beat KC

A great QB masks a lot of deficiencies.

Eichel or McJesus? No..

IMO Sam doesn't have anything that sets him apart. Is he a hitter? No, Agitator Nope. Sniper? eh not really. Nothing about him makes you pay attention to what he's doing. The only issue I have with Sam is that his work in front of the opposing net needs work. He has a tendency to move out of the way and let the goalie get a look at the shot coming in.

what does that have to do with a head coach going all out with his offensive coordinator vs the crap we have had from the last 18 years?



our coach would have punted down 14 with 5 minutes to go

I think Anthony Lynn is an average coach at best. He's the same coach that went 0-6 or whatever it was last year and missed the playoffs with a very talented roster. His decision to go for it last night, while fun, is irrelevant as far as the Bills are concerned because he would never be in a position to make that decision here.

The good drafting teams always find talent no matter the strength of the draft. Look at Tampa's roster right now. 2014 was always regarded as a weak draft so I understand your point. Sam has had a good start to the year and I hope we see it for a full 82 games and beyond. Nylander, Draisatil, Pasternak, and Larkin earned long term deals for a reason though. If Sam can keep up this pace then he will get his big pay day too.

It's interesting to me that you say that, because overall I feel like he does a pretty good job in front of the net. He's gotten A LOT of his goals by standing in there and taking a beating. Moreso than any other player we've had for years. The only other person who seems go to the net and try and disrupt things there regularly is Skinner.

Rivers, like Brees, was one of the top QB's of their generation though that never got the attention or hype of the Brady's or Manning's. Like the Malkin (without the cups) or Eichel of the NFL.

She bends her lead forearm too much. I would expect the girlfriend of one of the best golfers in the world to know better than this.

The only thing Paulina cares about is the size of DJ's bank account.

He is no Patrick Reed, but he is a lot closer to Tiger in the waffle house days then many think

The dripping sarcasm in that post must have dried up by the time you read it.

It's probably well known that DJ still has issues away from the course. Couldn't figure the whole Paulina/Koepka thing, kinda strange.

Reed is just a dumb fat moron. Kevin Kisner called him out the other day. The Pillsbury dough boy feeds off the hate but I don't care for him much.

What do you think they do with Pilut at this point? I feel like the sample size is still small, but how do you send him back?
