Why is overall points an excuse for bad plays? Sure rienhart has really upped his play from the start of the season, does this mean he can’t be called out for making bad plays or having a bad game?
Does criticism automatically mean you hate the guy and wish he was traded for a 6th round pick?
I want 23 to succeed on this team as much as anyone, but that pass on the pp was terrible, regardless of how many points he has over x number of games, you could also say that shg really killed the team and led to the third period blowout.

skinner 15 points in last 17 games
reinhart 19 points in last 17 games
eichel 21 points in last 17 games


they are the LAST 3 guys people should be complaining about on this roster


PERIOD

Might have been his worst career game. He was terrible with the puck all game
- sbroads24


He wasn’t good, his point also came because he just left the puck for Jack to steam in and score, he’s a good player but does have his fair share of bad games.

I don’t take stock in how many points he has in his last bunch of games, that pp pass was terrible I’d say the same no matter who made it, Jack, Skinner, dahlin it was a bad play that killed the team.
Sam has been playing very well lately doesn’t change the fact that it was a bad play.

so does every nhl player not named mcdavid or matthews



jack had a rough patch before the leafs game

skinner has been quiet here and there


it's the nature of the game


when is the last time we had a top line that averaged over a point per game?


the french connection, and when 16 and 89 played with some scrub



again, this is the least of our worries

if he was picked 4th overall instead of second, he would be given a pass from some

I agree that in the grand scheme there are more troubling issues with this team, but in the scope of last game Reinhart was an issue.
All I’m saying is past performance should not shelter a player from criticism when they make a bad play.

Yah , only in buffalo do people expect more out of the 22 year old captain with 36 points in 30 games.

Guy's 8th in the nhl in scoring

You suck too


*Sam's 63rd in scoring in the nhl

Very impressive, considering the slow start

- Boss34



It's amazing how Sam is a piece of poop because he doesn't score enough but Jack gets a pass when he had 5 goals when he is making 10 Million dollars. Along with the inherent need to female dog about a 23 year old player that actually scores when there are 9 other guys to female dog and moan about.

What exactly is wrong with SAM ??? doesn't score enough? The kid has the same amount of goals that William Nylander (you know the kid that just signed a 10.2 million dollar deal) has the last two years, And sam makes 6.6 million less this year....

So Nylander is this fantastic player and sam is poop.... YEAH this makes total sense...

I could prove how much better Nylander has been, but it would be quickly dismissed as “analytical” and I don’t really care.

Sam is fine. Calling out his brutal game is also fine

- homiedclown


There is no hate from me at all just pointing out Sam made a bad play on the pp in the third that led to a 3-1 rush short handed that held up as the game winner.
Criticism and hate are two different things, like I said if Eichel made that play I’d be just as hard on him.

Sams play last 20 games=good-great

Sams pass on the pp last night=bad
No issues with Reinhart as a player issue with his bad pass.

Great post.


Homie is in love with 23.

But it's fine to bag on eichel for his 4 goals over the 29 1/2 minutes of play.

But.... sam has points





Because of eichel's talent

Those are both great points.

It really doesn't matter how rich a person is. Human instinct and business sense makes the pegula's want to spend other people's (tax) money.

The revenue from a building of this magnitude will definitely offset some of the costs.

Imagine the construction jobs? Income tax
Imagine the revenue of the surrounding businesses?

This would be good for buffalo.

And I completely agree that the tickets should go up in price. The people that enjoy the facilities should pay more.

- Boss34


My view as a season ticket holder is that I go to the games to enjoy the games and hopefully see a good team. I really don’t care to pay more just to pay for a shiny new place. They could put all the fancy amenities they want in there and I’m stilll going to walk in, buy a beer, and go to my seat.
I’d like to see the place cleaned up, get some new seats, and figure out a way to widen the concourses. Soap and paper towels in the bathrooms on a regular basis would be nice too.

put skunk and skinner with casey and see how jack does with thompson and sheary



whoever has played with Jack, has NEVER been given 1 ounce of credit with the exception of Skinner and when Skinner stops getting the goals, you guys will turn on him quicker then a snitch on his drug dealer

Except Skinner won’t stop scoring.

Since 2015, Jeff Skinner has the second highest individual scoring chance rate at 11.3 per 60. Matthews is the only players ahead of him. Maybe this goal surge of his is just a correction of his previous underperforming years.
