Mitts is playing the C position better then reinhart ever has. Is he putting up amazing numbers ? No. Could he be better ? Of course. The kid gets targeted by other teams top lines and has had to rely on Elie, Pominville, Okposo, Sheary, and Erod to help him out of it. Give the guy PP minutes and better talent and actually give him a chance to succeed.
- Pegullaville

If you wanted Mitts to succeed as a 2C this year, he needed either Sam or Skinner with him. Expecting him to carry Sheary and Okposo was never fair.

Nah, he made a very good comparison to how Reinhart couldn’t produce points on a third line with no help, but you have no good retort so you’re just going to ignore it
- sbroads24

get back to me when tage and casey get 40 points in a season

until then they are part of the problem

Like I said, you don’t deserve to see a winner.

You and homie will be first in line to want to trade Dahlin while falling in love with Will Borgen or something
- sbroads24

I love waiting 47 years for one and keep listening to excuse after excuse as to why we don't have one. Also more excuses after excuses as to why we should keep holding picks and prospects that will amount to nothing but listening to people say " just another couple more years".

I don’t even think Mitts has been good.

Point is, lots of rookies aren’t. His point totals would be better with any semblance of talent

I never was.

This admission is what seems to be what sours so many here on Samson.

This team is better with Samson than without him.
IMO of course.
- Over50

yup

and porter and wayne simpson would probably give us just as much production as casey and thompson this season

About time you figured it out with Eichel and yes, he can't hold Matthews jock.
- SABRES 89

You and I seem to agree a lot.
Must be the 'west side' thingy.

I agree with you on this.

Just what I thought. You have nothing.

they scouting a kid in the falls last night, gonna be a hell of a 6th round pick in 5 years

might help us in a playoff series 10 years from now

yup

and porter and wayne simpson would probably give us just as much production as casey and thompson this season
- homiedclown

That's all we can do is develop 3rd and 4th line players, been working for 40 years now.

eichel went pointless for 5 games in Jan

pretty sure matthews has never done that in the nhl
- homiedclown

Didn't he recently have one or two goals in like 15 games?

Edit: he had 1 goal in 13 games.

What about the 1st from the Sharks, that player should work out in another 4-5.

yup

and porter and wayne simpson would probably give us just as much production as casey and thompson this season
- homiedclown

And you would have the same amount of goals as Sobotka and Elie in the last 35 games from your couch.

But Tage should be racking up them assists.

Good lord.

It could be, I agree with you.

it's impossible to have a conversation with you

reinhart has never performed as pathetic as these 2


this conversation has nothing to do with sam reinhart

it's all about the failure of casey and tag, which adds up to 1/3 of our middle 6, and our lack of secondary scoring


when you want to talk about this topic, tage and casey

chime in

tage and casey combined may not hit reinharts worst point total in a full season this year


apples and oranges

if you can stay on topic and discuss the failures of thompson and casey this season, it can be an interesting conversation


but instead it is impossible to have any hockey conversation with a few of you guys w/o it turning into a reinhart conversation

then you guys have the stones to try to spin it where you don't have an issue with reinhart


I can have more civil and rational conversation with a bunch of 5 year olds

There is much truth in this post.

In Ron Howard’s voice - “But he has”

I said pointless in 5 games

when has matthews done that in the nhl?

C'mon man.

You just said they couldn't discuss Tage and Casey without bringing up Reinhart. You can't bring up Reinhart without bringing up Jack.

You don't need to tear down Eichel to make Reinhart better

- jcragcrumple

I didn't bring up jack

someone else does a dig saying eichel is on the same level as matthews

perhaps you should go back a page or 2 and read things in order

or stay out of this pissing contests


I say this with peace and love

Sam Reinhart from October 3rd 2017 to December 31st 2017 on “his own”

38 games played

6 5 on 5 points - Zemgus Girgensons had 7 Jordan Nolan had 5

3 5 on 5 goals - Benoit Pouliot has 4

I love waiting 47 years for one and keep listening to excuse after excuse as to why we don't have one. Also more excuses after excuses as to why we should keep holding picks and prospects that will amount to nothing but listening to people say " just another couple more years".
- SABRES 89

That excuse thingy after all of these years really has worn patience extremely thin with some old timers like me.
Agreed.

I don’t even think Mitts has been good.

- sbroads24

The minute Sam was promoted, the middle 6 stood no chance.

yup

- homiedclown

Yep

I said pointless in 5 games

when has matthews done that in the nhl?
- homiedclown

He had a 4 game pointless streak this year and last year.

He had a 5 and 7 game pointless streak his rookie year.
