Beaulieu

U
Tennyson

Great game guys! That was exciting. Love this team.

 

[5 Minute Major]

Sam.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

disappointing not to get the 2. Atleast it was a SO loss. Dahlin is about to go off now. Tonight was his breakout offensively. 17 in 34. I think he can get closer to 50 then 40.

 

[Goathead]

Eichel is a beast

 

[dortt]

Good
Eichel
Dahlin
Reinhart aside from the empty net miss

Bad
Tennyson
Bealiue's injury forcing us to see more Tennyson

Ugly
Housley. Didn't think I could see someone dumber than him. I'm not even sure CTE could explain his lunacy tonight. No Skinner in OT? That is a tank move there
Reinhart missing the empty net: Bear down!

 

[N.Y. Orangeman]

Great game.

G: Bogo’s road back.
B: Sam: we need more from you
U: nothing. All part of the evolution. Keep it up, boys!

 

[DolanPlsGoSabres]

B: The Sheary - Mitts - Okposo line has one guy that can protect the puck without getting knocked over.

U: Three keys to the game should be:
1. Keep Tennyson away from the puck
2. Keep Tennyson away from the game
3. Keep Tennyson away from the Sabres

 

[Ace]

They were Tennyson being anyone else in the world or Reinhart hitting the broad side of a f***ing barn from two tonight.

Makes it hard to feel good about earning the one.

 

[deVolt]

G Eichel, Dahlin,Hutton (- the first goal ) scandella, PP
Bad. Sam bottler , That guy from AHL

 

[CrankyJay]

If that was Skinner instead of Reinhart that’s in the goal.

 

[Kyndig]

Whats the Sabres record when Eichel scores 2+ goals? Seems like they always lose.

Edit: Looked it up. 11 - 4 - 3. Though 1 - 1 - 2 this season.

Also can't believe Eichel has 17 2 goal games and only one hat trick.

 

[Man of Principles]

No Skinner in OT is just mind-numbingly stupid. Housley.....just what?

 

[OkimLom]

Man I hate our fanbase.

But I guess since E.Kane is gone, and the only opportunity to use ROR as whipping boy was retroactively, Reinhart must be the new whipping boy by default. Guy creates multiple plays offensively and defensively, misses a wide open net, things we have seen others do, and they are putting him in bad.

Y’all need to get your heads checked

 

[Gabrielor]

Reinhart played a big part in 2 of the goals.

His wall play and missing of an open net sunk us.

If Jack can catch heat for his backchecks, Sam sure as hell can for this.

 

[1972]

Sam is a good player, but man he needs to make those clutch plays. Game on your stick and you put it completely across the net off the post? Bare down.

For all the hype Toronto gets, I’d be way more scared of Tampa and Washington in a series. They have potent offensive players.

I don’t know if he’s your friend or if you’re related to him or what...but when you f*** up and it leads to a goal against and then miss an open net to win it it’s ok to be critical of the player that does those things.

He did those things tonight

 

[Chainshot]

Good:

Jack was special on that goal. He was dangerous all night.
I enjoyed Risto's confrontation with the Caps again.
Hutton dialed in as the game went along.
The PKing. Again.

Bad:

Losing Beaulieu didn't help.
Mitts at even strength.
Piling on Sam in a game where he helps the team score two goals. It's not like he is part of the middle six that just gets nothing done.
Hello middle six. You suck.

Ugly:

Tennyson. Can we shoot him into someone else's sun?

 

[1972]

Casey Mittelstadt as the number 2C is the biggest hole in this roster by a country mile. Might have to go the Edmonton route and play Jack 26 a night.

They could have him as the #2, but they way overestimated his ability to handle this role. Granted, even Botts didn't mention him as a rookie in the 2-in-the-box podcast, so who knows...

Did you ever think you would ever be saying losing Nate would hurt?

 

[Dubi Doo]

f***in' Reinhart, man. I'm a fan of the kid, but boy, does he miss empty net tap-ins more than anyone I've seen.

 

[MayDay]

Satisfied with the outcome.

That said, I’ll be perfectly happy if I never see Tennyson in a Sabres sweater again.

 

[Chainshot]

Smith has been such a gain for the staff that he's gotten more out of guys like Beaulieu and similarly Nelson. McCabe too.

 

[TheStorm]

Good game. Just beat Boston tomorrow although they never seem to play well against them

Yeah, that's it. I think it's more like the rest of us didn't realize we weren't allowed to say it's bad when a player misses a wide open net from 6 feet away.
