Much better effort tonight boys! Solid win against a tough Western Team. Bish was great tonight. Vasi tomorrow. Also props for Drou for not taking any ****. That kid continues to amaze me.
Well we will hold this place down for all the people who aren't here.

Agreed 100% but I think the only upper hand Sustr has on him is being a righty when we have so few otherwise.

That's right. Hate Back to backs though. Will take a very well played road game imo.

Tomorrow's game is a big one for Vassy, IMO. If he plays well again, it'll really crank up the pressure on Bishop.

I think Bishop is starting to feel Anvil breathing down his neck for the starting job. I have to think Bishops solid play today was based on that.

Sustr was fine tonight. And he is light years better than Barberio now and potential wise.
He is still learning the pro game and learning how and when to use his reach and his positioning.
Big win tonight. Pretty solid game from everyone on the roster tonight. Need to bring it again tomorrow and Vasy needs to be good for us to have a chance.
The NHL isn't a development league & I don't see how Sustr has more potential than Barberio. Barbs literally does everything better than him. If he wasn't a righty he wouldn't be in the lineup.
I agree with this, Barberio is better at turnovers, making poor decisions, being out of position, being soft in the D zone and being a dumpster fire.
Lol great post! He's not your golden boy Brian Lee that's for sure!!!!
I mean it's not like Barberio shoots,skates and passes better than him or won the Eddie shore award basically better at the hockey.

Both Sustr and Barbs are over their heads when they're in the top-4, usually.
Sustr's probably going to be an okay third pairing guy. The only thing I take issue with is the idea that he's someday going to be a good top-4 guy with maybe even top pairing upside. I don't see much potential, no real raw skills to build on. He's going to get less clumsy, but I don't see him magically gaining the ability to shoot, pass, or skate at an above average level. To say nothing of his utter lack of a physical game. Right now he's a clumsy warm body who I think we can hope will someday become a warm body. With a good reach.

I didnt get to listen to any of the game tonight (For some reason I couldnt get it on the radio in Port Richy) but it sounded like we did what we do best, score a ton. Its just amazing how many goals are being put up by so many different players. Callys well on track to get 20 soon, Paquette, Palat and Killer could all hit 15 soon at this rate, Stamkos got the big 30.
I really need to see this team win a game 1-0 before I will be satisfied, but I guess theres nothing wrong with scoring 5 goals either haha.
Hopefully Bishop is back, because we need him to get into form. This is as good a start as any for him.

It scares me what our defensive core would look like without the Stralman and Garrison acquisitions.

Um...light years better? No..Barbs is the better plsyer now and also has möte potential
Didn't realize they gave out the Eddie Shore in the NHL. For someone better at the hockey you'd think he would've improved from when he won that award. It's too bad the NHL isn't a development league because Barberio has only stagnated since he got here.

And if Barberio wasnt waiver eligible he would be in Syracuse. Sustr does everything better than Barberio except skating and Sustr isnt a terrible skater. Barberio is an "offensive defenseman". Although the term when applied to him is more leaning towards the insulting and terrible offensive rather than the puts up points offensive. He has 4 points. 4. Four. For a guy whos strong suit is supposed to be offense... which is supposed to make up for his umm defensive skills..... he sure isnt doing much.
Completely incorrect. See above.

I think Barbs is better but I don't think I'd say by a whole lot. Both are works in progress, Sustr is worse offensively, clearly, and both are bad on D.
