GDT: Sabres at Panthers: 5:00 pm EDT because why not?

[Intermission]

We've all got our agendas ... and yours is very very important too.

I want to take a guess

 

[SundherDome]

Seeing Reinhart with 55 goals hurts.

I'm happy for him, the glow up is real and I'm glad to see him take that next step

Same. I hope everyone who regularly shit on him when he was in Buffalo is choking on it.

 

[BB79]

Oh yeah, there was a game today.

 

[oldgoalie]

Sam. I hope everyone who regularly shit on him when he was in Buffalo is choking on it.

Wish he would have stayed. Terrible f*** up.

 

[SundherDome]

Wish he would have stayed but at least we did right by him.

They aren't. My buddy who I watched the game with today is still a hater.

I'll guess he is mad at Diggs too?

 

[Chainshot]

Botts biggest perhaps. And he had some whoppers.

Solid measure of someone who doesn't understand smart players is what they think about guys like Reinhart.

Front of net presence. We have a ton of that in this current team, right?

Sam earned his criticism in his time here.

Didn't show up for 1st half of season every year.

Emotionless.

Good player but..

Let's see what he does in non-contract year.

Same convo different year - he'd get chances and things wouldn't fall. If he wasn't getting chances, that's the concern. The scoring opportunities were there regularly and sometimes they went in, sometimes not. I can probably search on this comment key words and find this post from his time in Buffalo repeatedly, and likely to you and some others.

Sam got a lot of uncalled for shit from people like PHam which is why Maurice was taking swats at Buffalo's press huddle a few games back.

 

[Ehran]

Frustrating, but ultimately predictable. Unfortunately.

There was also the fact he was asked to play a different role for his first few seasons for terrible coaches. It wasnt until he found stability in his role where he could finally get into rhythm that he showed his potential.

Good to see everyone here learned their lesson about running guys out on a rail.

Yup.

 

[sabresfan129103]

Did they actually kill off the penalty in OT and still lose? I turned on the last 2 minutes and shut it off when Tuch took the high sticking penalty. I don't have much patience for this team these days.

Pham had personal beef with Reinhart.. he always has at least one.

I didn't.. I just wasn't impressed with the majority of his game outside of his net front presence and passing.

Again..we will see if this is the Reinhart now or was just a motivated player looking to cash in.

…and we have such great passing and net presence on this current team. I hear you. But most of this current roster couldn’t pass out and hit the floor. And we have next to nothing in front of net presence (Greenway, maybe?)

 

[ForsbergMoDo21]

I like Reinhart a lot, wish he was still in Buffalo, etc., but I will always watch a player with a huge stat bump in a contract year with a degree of skepticism.

It always amused me when people accused him of being soft by highlighting how often he got hit/knocked down. Like, it never occurred to them that the reason that would happen was because he would regularly go to areas of the ice where players take hits.

I get that. The team needed to rid itself of the rot of previous core. Jack and Sam had to go.

Don't miss them.

The only player I can ever remember pham liking, and I mean really liking, was Brendan Guhle (aka the next Paul Coffey .

Reinhart is so weird... he was one of the softest yet toughest players. Wouldn't engage physically ever....yet willing to take a beating down low.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Yes, I've had issue with his game even when he was scoring last season. He's not a good top 6 center and likely never will be. They've got to try him at wing or trade before anyone notices he sucks. Anyone with eyeballs can see that Quinn is the one making plays. Last year it was the chemistry with he and Peterka driving the success of the line.


You're not wrong ... everyone is down but Cozens' game has completely eroded to the point of being a straight up problem. Skinner is another one, but he's at least put some pucks in the net. Cozens being sub-20 goals is beyond pathetic during what should be his prime.


We've all got our agendas ... and yours is very very important too.

I like you. You go down swinging. Even though you also simultaneously annoy me (I fully expect the auto “Troll Stomper” bot to give me a warning here) and defend your position

Don’t you mean Adams’ biggest whopper?

No, the reason it's on Botts is that he had multiple opportunities to lock Sam up long term and decided to be cute with "prove it" bridge deals. By 20-21 Sam could see the writing on the wall and had no interest in staying for yet ANOTHER rebuild.
