E-rod is better than larsson or gus


that says all we need to know about gus and larsson moving forward IMO
- homiedclown

I'd say Erod and Gus are equals . Neither stand out but keep the play moving . Wish they would contribute to the score sheet like anticipated of them.

which current sabres are overachieving?

Gorges
Erod
Antipin
Wilson

Erod has more upside then Girgensons, I would put him ahead of Girgensons.

I don't think ror is playing up to his capabilities...we know it and he knows it...he's supposed to be one of the top two-way centers in the league, but he hasn't played like that save for a handful of games...he wants to a be a leader, but hasn't played well enough to lead

to whom much is given, much is expected
- Michael Pachla

As recently as 20 months ago we all “knew” Girgensons would be our next captain, and he was the foremost talent on our team.

When did we decide he wasn’t given much?

Larsson should be waived, he is a complete waste.
- SABRES 89

agreed . nothing about him says " I'm a Sabres player "

Sure, he was invited. Do you rely think they listened to him?

Notice the difference in drafting:
We traded down, not up
We picked smart players
We picked players that are good guys off the field.

Whaley is on record as the gm, but you really can't believe that he was in charge?
- Boss34

What's the point of having him there then?

I'm sure McDermott had input as any coach would, but it was still Whaley's job, even though he knew he was going to be fired. He did all the work leading up to the draft, so he finished it out and then left.

We traded down because that was an easy thing to do, everyone knew we were trading down for weeks. It would've been a shock had we NOT traded down.

The character thing was all Ralph, and Whaley followed that until Ralph's last couple years when he finally woke up and realized he wanted to win and didn't really care how, and then Rex came along and sped the process up by grabbing Incognito and Enemkpali.

- SABRES 89

More so cause he is new and possibly more upside . The shiny toy. That's how I see them..

Small and fast, erod looks great
Girgs and larson are bigger and slower. Although gus can skate at times.

Girg's and erod can play multiple positions.
Larson is just a center

agreed . nothing about him says " I'm a Sabres player "
- cabin

He has 1 point in in the last 15 games I think it is.

More so cause he is new and possibly more upside . The shiny toy. That's how I see them..

He has more skill, more of a scoring touch. Girgensons is nothing but a 3rd line center or 4th depending on who is on the team.

I don't think he had anything to do with the picks they took. Seemed the masses didn't want him hear it either, There was a sound bite of him saying he wasn't at the draft and not in charge.

This phrase was the beginning of the end for Reinhart

Why so angry.
It’s a hockey blog.

I expect him to win 55% of his faceoff.
Jesus Christ.
Just because his lazy ass is performing at 40%...what he can’t improve.

You would make a hell of a mgr.

Hey Jack..you’re at 40% fo % ... we just need 32% ... if we wanted more we would pay you like $10m ...I mean

Lol.
- IonSabres

I'm not angry, expecting a 15 point bump is asinine.

He absolutely can improve, and he is, but you don't jump 15 points in one season. It's totally unfeasible.

What you expect is the most irrelevant thing and only leads to your disappointment and subsequent female dogging about why he's not one of the best players ever. It's as tired as Broads female dogging about Myers and Watkins.

He has more skill, more of a scoring touch. Girgensons is nothing but a 3rd line center or 4th depending on who is on the team.
- SABRES 89

Very possible . and hopeful of Erod . I like his game ,skill ,speed . Just lets see if he skates with it and passes the tag of 3rd liner . But at the moment they seem equal.

- Der Kaiser

I agree, we all loved his leadership under ted.
We loved his attitude and effort.
We loved the whole all star vote
I even excused his play under disco, not seeing eye to eye. Extended loud discussions at practice.

Hockey players get stale, they all get traded.
Maybe it's time

Not all drafts are equal.

We were rebuilding and in need of everything, and 2015 was loaded.

Here’s how important goaltending is-

Las Vegas is the 4th best team in the league while 3 of their goalies have been injured
- sbroads24

And look at Montreal, when Price isn't in they're terrible and when he is they suddenly good. Hmm, I wonder why that is?

For a stats nerd you sure use small sample sizes, like a lot.

Reinhart is less then hockey

Pouliot

Pominville for like 12 games

Well spoken. I think we all see how ror competes internationally and expect more as well.

I wonder about his back injuries
- Boss34

He skates like his back really bothers him. He missed a bunch of time last year because of it too.

I don't think it's up to 'we' and our choices

Was on the news . not sure if I can find it . Was an interview as he was walking away.
