We didn't tank for Dahlin. Tim Murray was just awful at his job

Yeah, I agree, but are we analyzing E-rod, or Jcrag?

E-rod was going to fail at 1c. That was inevitable.

Just like Larsson wouldn't produce there.

I just think it's pointless to pile on guys set up to fail

- sbroads24



It seemed inevitable to you and me that erod wasnt gonna step up.

Jcrag- expected him to step up. Then pretended he stepped up.

I like jcrag and erod.

Its similar to the eichel hate. Vs. Sam hate

Larsson has outplayed erod
Especially from my expectations of the season.


How is erod now obsolved of criticism?
He has 2 goals?????

We %100 wanted a high pick last year.
We lost on purpose

Look at our roster and tell me we were trying to win.

Well -

You think erods a productive "utility knife" with his 2 goals. You have him rostered for next season with his 2 goals.

What better opportunity could he have the past 2 games?

Well 1 and 2/3 games.
Phil made the neccessary decision

- Boss34


How are we female dogging about the least paid player(by a lot, other than ELCs and Elie who's a nothing player) on the team with the 9th most points on said team? He has more points than Sobotka who makes almost 5 and a half times the money. The other guys need to do more, he's doing fine.

Well I tied myself to that ship pretty hard, so Boss is entitled to pile on

I like Erod. He's a feisty guy. No one will ever confuse him for a 1C

We have a small sample of him being very effective, and an equal sample of him being absolutely terrible most of the time.

He's a 12/13 forward

- sbroads24



Who's saying differently?

For a game or 2 he can skate on a higher line because of his speed, but it quickly becomes apparent why he's a 4th liner.

I had high Hope's for erod to break thru this season. I guess that's on me as a fan.

Sobotka was a cap dump.
He hits people and trys hard every shift.
That's also on me, I like a guy that goes 100% to their abilities every game.

poopty or not

Um


There's one guy that definitely feels that way.

Who has more versatility then erod guy?

Larsson has been good for the Sabres this year, same guy doesn't see that either

- Boss34


Here's a compromise:

We should look for a 4th liner of Larsson's defensive prowess and Erod's ability to get 20 points. Then we would have a perfect 4th liner

That's kinda my point. It is what it is. When he looks bad in a bottom 6 role (which he has many times this year) it's fair game to criticize him.

I don't really care what he does or doesnt do on the top line. He isn't meant to be there nor will be there long term

He's absolved, he's not really, but let's say he is because he makes the league minimum and has more points than other players on this team.
