Weber was probably one of the better players out there tonight.
- Sabresfan-365

Yes, yes he was.
Some people just want to bang on him.
Eh, everyone has their reasons.

I could be wrong.
Anyway, I hope we win the lottery!!!

What was terrible was listening to a Ranger homer do the "color commentary" on a National game.
I could do without that again in the future.

I guess that's one benefit to watching on my phone at work. I end up keeping the volume too low to really hear it.

On the positive side of things, it looks like girgensons and eichel have some actual chemistry. Before girgs missed a few games it looked obvious for that short time, and they seem to have picked up where they left off.

To me he is the perfect compliment to eichel. Get a pure goal scorer on the right side and you could have your top line of the future.

I never thought this team would be in any kind of real playoff race this season, and shortly after the season started that thought was confirmed. Since then, the top of the draft is where i want them to be. So far so good.

Still a part of me that thinks this team will pull a 2012-13 and go on a bit of a run towards the end of the season. Hope im wrong but you never know. At the very least it will be a good trade chip.

Just a quick note, that sequence on the empty net goal was very uninspired by eichel and ristolainen, especially eichel.

Two young players who should be shown that tape a few times.

I fail to see any extended runs unless our secondary scoring shows up alot more. I can see them going on a couple more 3 in 4 type runs like they were just on followed by a few losses.

Inconsistency i expect to see when 3 of your 4 best players are 21 and under.

Substituting a top line wing for McGinn from the upcoming draft means 4 of your top 6 is cost controlled for the short term too, which is an added bonus.

You can't always judge people on their clothes just saying I'm sure there some Buffalo fans that do that too..

That's what i mean. the vets who are useless almost all year suddenly find a scoring touch. A couple BS points here and there and you're picking 7th instead of 1st,2nd or 3rd.

It pisses me off because physically he has all the tools to be a top pairing guy. Makes me appreciate players like Reinhart so much more.

Yea i like to imagine what he will be like in another year or two. If he gets hot he will hit 60 pts this year.

Girgensons can get to the spots on the ice eichel wants him in
