has tage replaced him for best shot on the team?
- homiedclown


I think they are two completely different shots. While both can one-time the puck with the best of them Thompson can score from way out even if the goalie is not screened. I went to all of the open practices and prospect games when they were coming up - Thompsons shot is special. His wrist shot is on par with Jack's wrister.

With the exception of Jack it has been a tough start to the year for recent former Sabres. ROR and Sam stinking it up and now Risto... well, being Risto.

Girgs is built for the playoffs. Real team guy. If we make the playoffs this year I think there will be many people on the Z-train.

Had to laugh last night when he was a horse in the corner...thought to myself that he is perfect for that role with 90 seconds left on the game.

He only wasted 11:00 minutes last night!

olofsson has stretches of being a 5 on 5 terrorist and if he can be sheltered during those stretches (by asplund, for example) then he's a great asset

the first 6 games of this year every time he touched the puck 5 on 5 any offensive pressure immediately ended. its different than like a drew stafford who's scoring would just disappear for stretches, olofsson just can't even play hockey for some stretches

weird player

If/when lyubushin is healthy, maybe just maybe we didnt need to add a player from another organization?

Maybe our system didnt fail us?

- Boss34

That's great, I hope it happens. But for a 5th it wouldn't have hurt to give it a try. He's young enough to where if it worked he can grow with the team, if it doesn't He's a RFA and it cost a 5th and 1.8m.

I think girgs had way higher potential when he was drafted. I remember matthew coller specifically saying his ceiling should be a Drury type player.

Wasn't Girgs supposed to be the #2 center behind Grigorenko?

(it hurt me to type that)

Now he's only fallen to the ice or boards about 2,000 times, it takes a toll. He's actually doubled his falls to game output.

Sabres looking good. The only scary thing, are they playing a 82 game schedule at a 40 game pace. Donnie has to be careful with who needs rest and when. With a young team it's a very hard obstacle to overcome as experience counts.
