So 32 games is a large enough sample size and basically confirms what I said back on July 1st.

This team is not a bottom 10 team, nor is it a playoff team if you factor in points per games played. We also still need a 2C.

So for everyone who rode the 8-1-1 wave, started watching Lafreniere clips during the 10 game stretch after that and gave in to the tank, then watched the team control shot share these past 10 games and get back to playing playoff bubble hockey, you could of saved yourself’s the emotional distress if you listened to galaxy brain

F this.
I posted a projection of 84 points based on the roster in late August/early September.

Seriously Lips, I would think you would be hiding in shame?

Larsson and girgs have played great
Erod is terrible
The wingers have been fine, despite injuries

Now 2c here and a 2c there?

Its non stop complaining? Try and enjoy the Sabres without trashing jbotts every post.

He has proven YOU wrong , across the board.

You have no idea if he's been shopping for a 2c. I imagine he has been, but wants to see what we have or doesn't want to overpay.

Good morning as well

So last night super speedster Troy Brouwer blew by Zach Bogosian.

I mean I get it when you think of fastest skaters in the league you think Troy Brouwer.

Can they play anyone but Bogosian?

Trying to get him back to being a net zero player so they can dump him at the TDL.
I see nothing wrong with this strategy. I look for improved play after the Xmas break.

Let me know when sam has more points than the guy picked 179 picks later. You know- the rookie

Save the charts

- Boss34


He has more ESP \_(:/)_/

I mean, he's tied for 42nd in the league with 25 points and VO is tied for 26th with 28 points. You negative nancy's keep on keepin on. I'm happy to have both.

Mmm, agree to disagree. It's pretty clear we still need a 2C.

Reinhart had a goal last night



You must have been pretty pissed

Hes still south of 50% o zone starts on the year. The fact that he's a +9 is something of a Christmas miracle

We are seeing good Risto, finally. I'll take it.

Yeah but he was drafted 8th overall and Pastrnak has more points than him and he was drafted like 20 picks later the next year.

Also I'm going to need you to explain the lips thing again. I'm very confused and somewhat perturbed by the idea of you thinking about my lips

Quick glance around the show, Eichel is the hottest player in the league during his point streak...and the GOL might be the best 4th line in the league!

Trade market Imo:

Sheary
Mitts
Skunk
Erod
McCabe
Scandella
Hutton

Thinking of moving Risto or Skunk to find a complimentary player for Eichel isnt as valuable as filling the middle 6 with competent talent.

That should give Botts 2 packages to find a fit for the middle 6. Riding the waves so far, its been more enjoyable to watch this team this season than the last 5.

That Murphy guy down in ROchachcchcha is on pace to be the power forward this roster is lacking.

- washedup20


Good post.

You need to add some of the 150 RhD's as well
Bogo
Risto/Montour
Miller
Not all, but 2 perhaps

Guys I'd like to see Botts go after
-Denise Gurianov, RW Dallas
-Christan Dvorak, C Arizona
-Josh Anderson, RW CBJ
-Alex Tuch, RW, VKG

More impressive:

Larsson had 2 points (a really nice goal) and shut ror down.

Ror - no shots -3 in the game


Barely noticed your lip buddy.

Needs 48 points to hit that 50 point prediction.

Sam had a nice goal. It's the 1 goal in 11 games and people wanting to sign him to 7.5 x 8 that is ridiculous

Interesting that last year his record setting -41 pace to capture the Green Jacket was laughed at for use on an individual player.

Now, his +9 is held up for all to see.

I'm glad the Coaching and the System, as well as stronger team play around him have enabled Risto to improve his game. He needs a partner with a strong transition game to reduce his lunk head plays.

WRONG.

If he stays on pace for 65 pts, he is going to get it. That is THE POINT.
Not your false narative.

This.

It wasn't his fault he was a -41, the team was bad.

Now it's him playing great because he's a +9.

All this season has done is reinforce the fact that he's not a top pairing D man. He's a fine 3/4 who has cleaned up some of the defensive zone mistakes. I've liked his game recently.

But it's not a mystery how he's suddenly gotten points again now that Dahlin is out

I mean if you’re playing that card, Bo Horvat went one pick after Risto to the Canucks.

I agree with the whole post. The highlighted, I think it's more so not people saying well +/- is a real stat, it's more so, he got absolutely owned last season and now he's playing better without looking at a single chart.
