GDT: #45 – Red Wings at Sabres – Fri Jan 20, 7:00PM ET – MSG-B

[Aladyyn]

Eichel has the quietest 2 point night of his career.

I don't think he was quiet, he had a very good game overall

 

[Panthaz89]

First b2b win against the Wings in such a long time.

 

[vcv]

My reaction now after remembering When that guy at work said Murray overpaid on all of his trades, I said "not for oreilly" and he said "well..."

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Risto over 35!! mins including the entire OT

 

[TheWook]

Risto over 35!! mins including the entire OT

And people wonder why be makes so many mistakes...

 

[sincerity0]

wow risto played 35:24 on the first of a back to back

 

[sabresfan129103]

That's a great way to wear your top D-man down. Bylsma is a ****ing idiot.

 

[stokes84]

Yeah, that line was dangerous all night. Could have had a few goals, generally dominant.

 

[kirby11]

Risto already looks pretty dead, can't imagine he'll be too impressive tomorrow

 

[Panthaz89]

Yeah, that line was dangerous all night. Could have had a few goals, generally dominant.

Sam and Jack with 6 SOG each they were all over the Wings tonight.

 

[kirby11]

Yeah, that line was dangerous all night. Could have had a few goals, generally dominant.

Foligno was a hot mess for the most part, but Jack and Sam had the 2 man game going well.

 

[Aladyyn]

Risto's looked dead for a while. He barely has energy to skate past the red line in most games.

 

[sincerity0]

That's a great way to wear your top D-man down. Bylsma is a ****ing idiot.

With the injury to McCabe I don't think Bylsma had much of choice.

 

[Panthaz89]

Bylsma gets called out for not getting Eichel out early and comes up with a bunch of excuses of why he didn't put him on the ice earlier.

[AustonsNostrils]

I've been saying this since last season, Eichel has freaky talent/size/strength where if he wanted to he could pretty much do whatever he wanted offensively - he had another 6 shots on goal tonight without much effort.

He now leads the entire NHL in SOG Per Game at 4.16, and with him that is sustainable. 100 SOG in 24 games . Burns leads with 177 SOG in 46 games.

 

[HogtownSabresfan]

And people wonder why be makes so many mistakes...

It's just stupid. Bylsma protecting his job and not the future

 

[Moskau]

Yeah, that line was dangerous all night. Could have had a few goals, generally dominant.

I think they're the most ineffectively effective ES line in the league if that makes any sense. They generate a lot of chances and just nothing goes in. And they're doing it with Foligno who has been terrible since being moved off FLG.

 

[Onslow]

Well they've been winning at home lately, so that's good.

What's that, 4 straight?

 

[DapperCam]

Bylsma will never get fired at this rate

And how many times a game are you left saying "Eichel should've shot that"....

I'd be interested to know how many of those are on the PP. And where he's shooting from. It seems to me like he still has a hard time getting inside the box and the prime shooting areas at even strength. Defense men are getting more an more familiar on how successfully keep him to the outside.

 

[LetsDoughBuffalo]

Was at the game last night, I thought Bogosian was actually outstanding (all things considered)

Ankle + rush-killing breakout system. A healthy Eichel under any scheme that actually allows rush chances is going to create a ton of them.

Last night at least 3 times.

Any to everyone grousing about Byslma/Risto, last night during the overtime PK, he and Bogo had _two_ chances to come off for a change, and they shook off the bench to stay out there.

They're fine.
