Beauty shot. Didn't look nearly as overwhelmed by a ferociously hungry Islanders team as he could have been.

I did the same thing. Watched for 2 full hours, and then didn't even get to see the goal. What an evening

There hasn't been a shot like his since Radio Robert.Idk what you are talking about. I'm going to assume the 18 year old has seen it all and VO shoots better than Rocket Richard

His release is just ridiculous. I'm ready to pencil him in as a 20+ goal-scorer for us next year.
A sniper who doesn’t have tunnel vision!
Also, hopefully whatever coach the Sabres have next year is smart enough to realize he needs to be with a good centre to likely produce.

He is much faster then i expected. He doesn't look out of place at all, physically and mentally.
Thx Botts, for keeping Tage up and Olofsson down, you did the complete opposite of what should've been done.
Edit: I would've started him in Rochester, but they should have definitely tried him in the big league much much earlier.
Tage being sent down after the season was lost, even later then that, and him coming up this late and having to play with that tire fire, is a disgrace and a slap in the face of VO and anyone whose hockey mind is still functioning.

I like that not only can he finish and pass, but his play in Rochester makes me think he could be a viable 2nd or 3rd PKing pair forward as well, something Conor Sheary does not seem capable of.
He would be a good hockey player, if the game would be played without the puck.

Does VO follow Foligno and Mittelstadt with a very productive short stint at the end of a season and fail to produce next year or is he a legit top 6 guy as a first time full timer?
I am optimistic he can be a 15-20 goal player if Eichel is centering him. It would go a long way for us if he is a 20+ goal scorer right off the bat. This team still only has 3 legit top 6 forwards. If Skinner stays adding a 4th 20+ goal scorer would be ideal.

I think you need to step away from Sabres hockey and the computer for a bit.
Foligno was a mid-rounder who exceeded expectations. He got put on a scoring line and did things no one thought he could.
Mittelstadt is one year removed from being everyone's top prospect and the WJC MVP. He's a rookie. He hit the wall weeks ago.
Olofsson is older and played professionally prior to this season. He's also been in Rochester all year, and proven he's a goal scorer in back to back years in the SHL and AHL.
HUGE differences in those three players.
The thing I like about Olofsson is that Jack seems to really like him and it seems genuine. I would like to see Nylander on the line with them for the last few games.

He seems to me to really try getting those guys good looks when he's on the ice with them. Some combination of having new toys to play with and trying to get them confident at the NHL level.
You noticed that too. I want to have something positive to take from this season.
If he does nothing else, I think his shot alone on the PP will carve out a nice career for himself. I’ve been saying it for months, he fills a huge need for us on PP1, a legit scoring threat on the right side opposite of Eichel.

Lets hope ANY winger Eichel is slotted with for an entire year has more than 15-20 goals. 25+
