I’ve said it before, I think 3 on 3 OT is crap. It’s toaly unnatural hockey. The rare time that 3 on 3 happens in game is fun because you have guys at random intervals getting out of the box and it’s not a sudden death situation.

Yeah but I'd rather have a game decided by 3 on 3 then by shootout.

Shootouts are AWESOME when you are watching a game that you don't care which team wins.

5 out of 6 points and we absolutely stole a point last night. just in the first 3 games this team is WAY different from last year. Oloffsson looks like a Legit Calder candidate and Miller has an absolute cannon for a shot. Skunk looks great and MOJO will score you 20 this year.

I still would like to get a proven RW on this team and even though its early, this team appears to be moving in the right direction...Finally..

It's no less of a "gimmick" than the shootout.

lots of sobotka hate

not his fault coach put him on the second line, and our second line has been pretty damn good

would love a stat nerd to tell me how his corsi numbers are after 3 games and compare it to sheary and skunk

thanks in advance

Easy fix. Reunite the Lockport Connection. I'd consider putting Reinhart there and let Vesey fail upward to L1. Or sheary to L1

+2 on a new team playing limited minutes with a young inconsistent center

you need to relax a little, it's 3 freaking games

put him with jack or johansson and you are having a wet dream with him and the joker

Put him with jack or Johansson ? Yeah he do good so would any player like him his job is to score 20 on the 3rd line

You can't spell Namestnikov without "stink".

So Vesey, who has done nothing is rewarded by a move up to line 2 and Okposo who has played quite well is kicked out of the lineup? Interesting

No offense, but this is such a Sabres thing they do...play their players up a level, or two over their competence.

Here's the thing though, as has been stated by a few...they have Tage and Dylan coming, one of which is likely to be 2RW or a 2C in the case of Cozens. So our boy Sobotka is a placeholder for awhile, probably through the TDL for Tage, next season for Cozens.

It will be interesting to see how Botts handles it.

This is a stretch. He hasn't been too much of a liability, yet, even factoring his tip-in goal.

So does every team with holes in its roster, which is most of the league.

he is playing fine D


winger is only as good as his center, and casey has done nothing the last 2 games

I would consider benching casey for e-rod for a game or 2 if the pod racer is going to stay on the second line

if all casey is going to be, is a third line center, when do you sell?

I disagree. I know it’s splitting hairs but I think the shootout is a better measuring stick of which team is more talented. Elite goalies and shooters prevail. In 3 on 3 sudden death the game frequently punishes s team for trying to score. And you often seen offensive players exit the zone with the offensive zone with the puck which is unnatural. Just my opinion.

Sheary on L1 is less ridiculous than Sobotka on L2. If they put this line together:

Skinner-Mojo-Reinhart

Mojo will get 55-60 points this year, which is desperately needed

I was actually agreeing with you.

Everyone was complaining about the shootout because it was a "gimmick". The solution was 3-on-3 overtime, which is actually just as much of a gimmick if not more.
