Risto is total crap. I would not give you a bag of jock straps for
Him. He sucks

lmao alright this is parody right
- robz228

Seriously, that was not a good pass. It was 100% Risto's fault for going behind the net, but it was a poop pass before that.

Yeah, right. Never gonna happen.

He’s looked like he’s checked out for the last 3 weeks but will play 30 min Friday

37 invisible again, how about a seat the press box for him to. Who hit the net less 37 or zhitnik

At least he's shooting. That's progress.

Ristolainen is probably a fine #4 D man for some good team.

I’d rather watch Jokiharju and Dahlin get their lumps than this dude continue to contribute to losses
- sbroads24

This has been the risto story for YEARS! Playing a pairing too high and too many minutes but Ralph will fix him! The 5 coach is the charm... if used right, he’s a good player... he has never been used right here.

Invisibility is improvement with this one.

As evidenced again tonight he has 0 instincts

He’s a physical specimen who’s good on special teams.

A great thinker he isn't.

I’d be fine with him if it wasn’t him in every key situation, all the damn time.

Lean more on Montour and Jokiharju at times.

3 v 3 is ALL about possession.
As soon as Ullmark realizes he is a fvcking goalie and not Ray Borque ...

Stupid, mindless play.
- IonSabres

This^^^

Also...
MoJo did lose the puck battle & had a lazy effort to get to the front & defend the play

And yes, Risto should’ve stayed in front,
or at least went around the other side of the net

Plenty of blame to go around on the last goal

But MoJo & Risto aren’t in position to make their mistakes if not for the stupid play by Ullmark
Idk what he was thinking there?
It’s not like he was passing to Jack or Skinner who could streak up the ice for a scoring chance

I’d be fine with him if it wasn’t him in every key situation, all the damn time.

It would make sense to see those guys in OT
It’s about possession,
skating & passing are the key skill sets for OT

I’ll give u that
Bagging on only Risto on that last goal isn’t totally accurate though

But i heard someone will trade us a 2C for him???

Sabres are as far away from the playoff bubble as they are 30th place overall.

- IonSabres

Ullmark played well.

Secondary sam cant make a big play when we need it.


No skinner in ot?

anyways love my favorite team playing a great game but the same guy who has been (frank)ing up in key situations for the last 35 years is still doing it and they lose

I’d be fine with him if it wasn’t him in every key situation, all the damn time.

Maybe nobody wants risto?
Or

McCabe
Sobotka
Erod
Larrson
Girgs

Or any of the other scrubs?

5 straight head coaches are playing him as a number 1 defender

people in the league want him. maybe just not for a haul, but they could unload him tomorrow if they wanted to, guarantee it.

please sweet innocent josh allen, make all the misery go away tomorrow

I feel like this is a very valid point. If every coach since Teddy nolan thinks he's a #1, surely coaches elsewhere feel the same

Seriously, what's the hold up?

I like risto, but like ror, I ain't happening in the b-low.

Time to turn over some more faces in he lockerroom

Blazing Saddles is a top-10 comedy of all time

Botts is getting interviewed on wrg now, not sure if it’s live or not but it’s a pretty open conversation.

Everybody can say put Skinner with Jack, which is fine, but stop crying about who he is playing with, because he is getting chance's, he had 3 or 4 good chance's tonight. He needs to start burying the puck.

Skinner should never have Larsson for a center when Eichel and Mojo are available. Point blank, the end
