I'd say skinner and eichel are less of a worry.
- Boss34

You got me there. Haha

Eichel or no Eichel, this team has to many 3rd and 4th line players and a 2nd line center that has no business playing on the 2nd line.
- SABRES 89

DO SOMETHING, BOTTS!

(after you sign Skins, of course)

This is 100% fake news. The first line scored 3 goals against Florida and 71 didn't have a point. 53 and 23 generated their own changes on the night with 71 being mostly invisible. He literally fell down on a 2 on 1 with Skinner and lost Hoffman on a Panthers goals. His passing was complete s**t all night as well. Yes, he did well on the dot.

I think the 71 hate is because the guys at WGR are propping him up due to a small sample of effective underlying numbers.

They translated to results last year. They aren't this year.

He's in the middle of really effective and plain terrible

Reminds me of Pysyk is how polarizing he is.

Eye test on him is brutal. Results are good at times

Negatives - Sheary, Pommer, Okposo, Sobotka all just suck at providing offense

Positives- Pilut is a top 4 D man. He should never sit again. Larsson is playing really well. And Thompson is going to be a solid, dangerous player once he get's a center.

I would put 37 in the press box or Rochester at this point

Agreed all around. 22 and 53 seemed to be the only forwards playing with urgency tonight.

Is is crazy to think that 26 and 24 are our #1 pairing in the future?

Rasmus Risto just said we suck at times on air during his interview..🤣

Ryan Stimpson said that Pilut reminds him of a Brian Rafalski type player. I think I agree with that

That's an interesting comparison.

Looking like UPL is going to win gold, 2-0 now

Great post.

You clearly watched the game.

Erod has been an ahl player this year.

If he played so well against Florida, phil wouldn't have yanked erod off the #1 line tonight

What is this teams record since the 10 game win streak, anyone know?

Let's be fair though, 0 people would call him a 1st liner.

2-1... hold on

You got me there. Haha

Gotta think Boston had an eye on shutting sam and skins down tonight.

When the schedule came out, with or without eichel it's a loss. Hoping for 1 point

2-1... hold on

2-2

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

(frank)ing Isles just scored back to back goals on St. Louis. Fack

I get it. But setting the bar at 1st liner isn't fair to E-rod. He is what he is

I didnt like erod on the first line when I heard it.

I stood and now stand by it.

Mitts could use a boost
Skins and sam could use a boost

Erod played well on the 4th line with larry and girgs.
That line didnt last long, but he fit in there.

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

4-8- something

The guys who deserve to be criticized

29, 43, 21, 17.

They need to do ANYTHING
