[Doug Prishpreed]

Oh well at least I don’t turn every single thing this franchise does into an agenda driven negative run of posts like many do

Some might say that you do

The title gave me a good chuckle.

Habs fan coming in peace, I play as the Sabres in an EHM league so I made this earlier, do with it what you wish:

Is tonight's game a referendum on Jack's leadership? Are there fans chomping at the bit waiting for the Sabres to get pummeled so they can call for Jack to be stripped of the C? Is there a Swedish conspiracy to promote Dahlin? Stay tuned for the next episode of "All Agendas Great and Small".

I feel like he puts to much faith in his teammates. On multiple occasions last game one of his line mates was pinned on the boards and he was waiting 3 feet away for them to win the board battle. He needs to learn to get the puck himself.

Did I hear he switched to a shorter stick? His stickhandling has seemed noticeably better to me, especially in tight like on his second goal yesterday.

His stick gets shorter and shorter every year, he's down something like 3-4 inches since he came into the league. Every centerman in the NHL finishes their career with a shorter stick then they started it with...

It also affects leverage during faceoffs, another area he's improved this season.

First goal he’s ever scored on a backhand move up high. Glad he can do that now.

I still haven't gotten used to #9 yet.

I still haven't gotten used to #9 yet.

I watched and rewatched Jack's highlights with BU leading up the 2015 draft far too often to not have it associated with him.
I find one digit numbers more aesthetically pleasing, as ridiculous as that sounds. Quite happy with the change. Also kinda pissed that Nelson has Dahlin's #8 for those very reasons.

I think most retire having used a mini stick their last season.

Brian Gionta did.

Brian Gionta did.

He still had to cut it down a little to make it work.

 

[Buffaloed]

Brian Gionta did.

Golisano would have had an entire team of Gionta size players had he known how much he could save on sticks.

Yesterday's game may have been the most complete game I've ever seen from Eichel from an offensive to defensive standpoint and compete level. He seems to be relishing in a leadership role. Hopefully it continues; The season is a long grind.
