GDT: #43 Sabres vs Stars Monday Jan 16, 2017 1pm

[Samsonite23]

Wow. Reinhart.

Just Bergeroned that shift.

 

[LaxSabre]

 

[Chainshot]

Good hustle coming back on that 4-on-2.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Hmmm, Ennis being back is interesting. We'll see how he looks with O'Reilly and Okposo. I am working while this game is on, but have it to be saved. I'm excited about getting him into the mix, if to provide time to establish trade target value!

 

[Matt Ress]

Should we be offended that a "should we fire Lindy" thread started half way through the game?

5:50

Not to harp on Disco because they've been a tad more aggressive with the lead in this one, but c'mon man, you can rotate 10 forwards.

 

[Chainshot]

What's Carrier's icetime so far?

Not to harp on Disco because they've been a tad more aggressive with the lead in this one, but c'mon man, you can rotate 10 forwards.

He's "up" to 6:18 now. With a game tomorrow, time to spread it around some.

I missed the Tampa game and checked out of the Hurricanes tilt, but it seems that we're a much better ES team with a consolidated top 6 and Girgensons at 3C.

The team has enough raw talent to take advantage of bad defensive teams. Against good defenses they flounder. I don't think it has much to do with consolidating a top 6

 

[Aladyyn]

He's "up" to 6:18 now. With a game tomorrow, time to spread it around some.

That's a good point. He can take some shifts for Ennis on that top line tomorrow.

 

[BowieSabresFan]

Ahh, what is a hockey game with "The Wave?"

 

[Hipcheck13]

At no point did I think the Sabres would lose this game, that was until they started doing the wave.

 

[Chainshot]

I continue to be quietly pleased by Franson's level of play in the last few weeks.

 

[struckbyaparkedcar]

Imagine if Eichel was where Foligno was.

 

[Samsonite23]

Lol McCabe is Zhitnik.

 

[Dingo44]

Foligno has had a great game. Like someone else mentioned he plays well with Eichel and Reinhart.

 

[BowieSabresFan]

Imagine if Eichel was where Foligno was.

Nah, Eichel doesn't have the speed...

 

[slip]

That's exactly how every disaster film begins.

 

[struckbyaparkedcar]

I continue to be quietly pleased by Franson's level of play in the last few weeks.

He's been good all season. Dude is pretty competent with some mobility around him.

 

[struckbyaparkedcar]

Example eight jillion of "Eichel should be a ****ing winger in this scheme."

 

[Chainshot]

He's been good all season. Dude is pretty competent with some mobility around him.

The play earlier in the third where he had a bouncing puck in front of Lehner and still managed to take a step to his left and get the clear on the forward's tape was the sort of thing I like seeing out of the defense.

This period hasn't been the usual shell-game. I'm entertained.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Over/under 7 icings on the empty net

 

[Dingo44]

Carrier's out for Ennis on that shift.

 

[Chainshot]

No surprise seeing Carrier getting the d-zone start there.

I think it was against the Flyers, he had a really strong tie-up in front of the net on a bouncing puck that required strength I didn't know he had.

 

[Chainshot]

ROR should not play with a rubber stick.
