Someone tweeted security is confinscating signs critical of the team tonight.
How many times have you seen him try a rush, stickhandle quickly in a half-Tage-toe-drag, and then let this limp wrister go that usually gets blocked and skitters into the corner? That's his signature "hands" move in the NHL. He stickhandles like he's using a corn stalk as a hockey stick.Well yeah its a bad take that's for sure.
you seem to have an agenda against him when he's a 20 year old with a 25+ point season playing depth on the Sabres..he hasn't been nearly as bad as you are making him out to be.How many times have you seen him try a rush, stickhandle quickly in a half-Tage-toe-drag, and then let this limp wrister go that usually gets blocked and skitters into the corner?

It looks really impressive in settings where he has a lot of space, but I don't think I've ever him come out of the vicinity of an NHL opponent with the puck still on his stick. And I actually pointed out, when we drafted him, that a lot of the "flourish" in his stickhandling highlights actually didn't involve cradling the puck, the stick would wiggle back and forth on either side without even touching it. Opposing NHL defensemen just laugh, shiver his stick away, and take the puck.
