"Eric Cartman?"
My broadcast / DVR ended before the 3 stars were announced. Fans / crowd should have been the 1st star in honor of the 50th season and how uplifting / uplifted they were last night.

Because they've been a part of the losing culture so I think they need to go...Also, they are too one-dimensional.

Eichel & Reinhart have been a part of the same culture since their rookie seasons.
This team is playing amazing right now. There is absolutely no reason to jerk with anything at this point.
Even if this hot start wears off, I doubt you see them move serviceable depth players for late round picks.
Also, with 44 out of 50 contracts, they are t-2nd fewest contracts in the league. Only the Jets have fewer contracts. So, there is no real reason to dump one or both of them to clear a contract or two.

If that one dimension is keeping the puck out of the Dzone, out of the Sabres net, and in the Ozone...then there are a couple of
I'd rather see gone than either Lars or Zgus.

To me that's just their typical homerism, what I love is two different threads where a leafs fan just popped in to crap on the sabres outta nowhere. 1 was some dude saying "who cares, they'll get wrecked in the first round of the playoffs".. so you have us in the playoffs then? #2 was some clown in the T. Hall thread saying "unrelated, but I don't like the sabres jerseys."

Or maybe Reinhart can skate?

Not saying the man has Hodgson's step. Straightline is okay. Superlatives will never be attached to his feet. Big Samson supporter. More of a eye opener that 76 could not break that up.

Wow. Relevant again. The best kind of rivalry is when both teams are competitive. I think we will all enjoy the ride.

I asked for a logical argument/reason to trade them. This isn’t one.
Holding it against them because they happened to be here when we sucked, through no fault of their own, isn’t very logical.

I'm not an e-rod fan boy. I think he's a 4th liner on a good team, 3rd liner at best. But a 4th liner is better than someone without NHL level talent, I.E. Sobotka. I know he's been "effective" and we're 2-0, but wouldn't we be getting more out of practically anyone in Sobotka's spot?

Replaying the game last night and looking at my notes, there was a lot more positive play from the guys than previously thought of. Again, a lot of guys with the majority making positive plays. Overall a solid game.

So I got lucky on Friday night, didn't leave her place until Monday morning.
Meanwhile both Buffalo teams play great, my soccer team gets a win, my favorite tennis player is victorious in Bejing and I didn't get to see any of it.
If that's what it takes to support my teams I guess I can live with it

I know. It just is a really dumb look. They should have just gotten a hold of someone at the Sabres told them to take the YT video down if they really want to push people to the NHL/Sabres website.

They are not rankings. These are completely subjective opinions on who I thought played well, meh, and bad for that particular game. It really doesn't mean anything to the game, just something different.
I watch the games. I make note of how the players play. If they had, OVERALL, a positive game, they get a 1. They don't necessarily need to be on the scoresheet (for example, even though Eichel didn't get a point in Pittsburgh, he still got a 1 for his defensive game and overall game). Just because they make a bad mistake, doesn't necessarily mean they would get a -1, which is the score they get if they played bad or had a negative impact on the game. If guys kind of just played, but didn't impact the game much they got a 0. Of course the weight of the mistake does come into play. If a guy coughs the puck up and leads directly to a goal, it might be harder for a player to make up for that play making positive plays. If a player is weak on the puck and loses a battle long the boards, then that is easier to makeup for during the game. If a player has created offense all night, but has a turnover, he would probably still be considered to have a positive impact on the game. I've come to the opinion that one play doesn't make the guy, and this is just an attempt to "score" that on players.
I'm only doing 1, 0, -1 because quite frankly, it's more exhausting to discuss who had a BETTER game and justifying what a player should received on a scale(often times it gets into advanced statistics wars and personal bias gets in the way) than it is to just discuss if a player played well/good. It also leads to less of a personal bias (which I will admit, creeps in when discussing players and who played the best for myself). I think it potentially could lead more productive discussions as it's more of a yes or no, than a player vs player comparison (which is silly since they play on the same team).
For example; this was from the Pit Game:

We have a crack squad of HFBoards Buffalo black ops members lined up to chain you to the bed until after the Super Bowl and Stanley Cup. If Kim Pegula finds out, we have @MacOfNiagara & Kyle Williams lined up to perform a legal binding wedding on the premises. Bills Mafia has a duty roster filled in to cover your work / school / family holiday schedule of responsibilities until mid-June.So I got lucky on Friday night, didn't leave her place until Monday morning.

I should have said ratings, not rankings. Anyway, that's fine. Doesn't seem like it's of much use to the rest of us, though.

I didn't expect, nor planned it to be of any sort of use, outside of engaging and starting a conversation. Just something different to do for the GBU threads.

I don't know if it was a skating issue as much as just getting caught flat-footed. Not many guys would have caught up in that situation.
Nathan Gerbe did something similar to PK way back when.
