I assume special teams don't matter much still?

Toews has something like an 18 game stretch in the playoffs without a goal

Do u really not understand that ALL players struggle at times?

Like I said,
EVERY SINGLE PLAYER goes through bad stretches

Not saying he’s been producing,
But I do believe Okposo has shown to be a good enough player that I feel he will come out of it
- jdfitz77

Okposo is playing exactly how I thought he would play when they signed him: a player whose team will want to get out from under his contract well before it expires.

Okposo benched.
Something is not right with him.
He is a problem, whatever it is.

I don't expect them to get worked by a Bo Horvat led team though

Not saying u should...
but didn’t the Pens lose a game 8-1 earlier this season?

Our teams has 3 major flaws that need fixing

O’Reilly & Ristolainen & Reinhart aren’t the reasons for those
They need more talent WITH those guys

Swapping them out,
Still leaves us with Pouliot & Griffith in the top9
Mediocre goaltending
And a need for more talent on defense

True or false?

I feel for the guy...he went through a (frank)ing awful medical experience......


but if ur not 100% stay ur ass in the press box.

I expected Okposo to have more than 1 assist in 7 games and be invisible most nights.

No one is asking for him to be the best. Just not be invisible.
- ImThatGuy

I made it a point to watch him close tonight and what I see is a guy that still seems a bit out of sorts. He's flying around, but is always ahead or behind the play. If he's not playing any better by the all-star game we can worry.

The problem is we don't know what was wrong with him and if it's still affecting him, he has missed time already this season for an "illness". Who knows?

I figured that would be year 4+

Not year 2

with pommer playing lights out and kane


a team with
kane
eichel
pommer
ror
okposo
reinhart


that should be a good enough top 6

if jack is a savior
and ror is a very good second line center

Yea it really sucks for him.

It also really sucks for the Sabres.

If it's just a matter of playing back into shape sitting in the press box isn't going to do anything, and would probably hurt him.

I wouldn't mind them trying a flying V right now. Nothing else is working.

If I told you Kane and Pommer would be in the top 20 for scoring in the NHL after 8 games, as well as Jack

What would expect the record to be?


5-2-1?
- homiedclown

Yep I would think that. 1 line doesn't make a team. lucky they have jelled together. Skill has a bunch to do withit . some players make their own. Some need complimentary players that help each other.

Ok, fair...
but that’s true of THIS season

I wouldn’t have said that last year

So continued mention of a team coming back east but Vancouver is in an east coast trip.....
