Glad to see is changing sticks... Bylsma was on WGR today and was discreet on how he discussed the Risto stick breaking episodes and his feelings toward them. On WGR it was reported that Risto and the coach were seen arguing on the bench after the coach didn't put him out on a PP because the defenseman was obstinate about changing to a more durable stick. Risto ended changing his stick and earning an assist after the stick change. This link is a WGR post from Paul Hamilton and deals with the stick issue and the timetable for the return of some of the injured players. It is encouraging. http://www.wgr550.com/Sabres-Ristolainen-doesn-t-know-if-he-ll-change-st/22942325 Edited November 22, 2016 by JohnC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Someday they'll realize that the all star game doesn't matter. They should let the very few fans who do actually care to have some fun. Someone needs to let MLB know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Oh man, I can't wait for Eich to get back. Great, entertaining game last night though! There is no doubt that with the return of Eichel it will be a major boost for the team and the offense. Unquestionably he is our best player. However, the one player I'm intensely watching is Kane. There is no disputing his raw talent. He is physically tough, can skate, consistently gives a strong effort and can score. But it's obvious that his abundant skill set hasn't translated into commensurate production. Evander is a player who plays an untamed style of game. He is all over the place. The problem with that undisciplined style of game is that it affects his linemates. Yesterday I witnessed a greater effort to play within the confines of the unit. And because of that I felt that he played one of his best games. The challenge for the coaching staff is to harness his lone ranger style of game to a level that it will also pay dividends for himself and his linemates. It's a delicate balance to not over restrict him and allow him to play his looser style of play within reason. If Kane's talents can be maximized with smart coaching and a recognition and receptivity by the player to do what is best for him and the team then I will not only be happy but will also elevate my expectations for the season.

In that 1:45 stretch of PP they were able to get off their feet #SabresBylsma - I think we had a good win against PIT, but in the 1st period yesterday we were gripping the sticks too much. #SabresBylsma - Okposo's PP goal on 5-on-3 was a huge sigh of relief #SabresBylsma - Foligno's goal meant quite a bit to us. It was huge to get a goal at even strength #SabresBylsma - we want to play a game that won't give the opponent much, but we know we also have to win by scoring goals #SabresBylsma - to put up 4 goals was huge for the team #SabresBylsma - Okposo, Reinhart have been getting Grade-A scoring chances. We're going to get our chances if we get to where we need to be #SabresBylsma on Ristolainen's stick breakings - I think the message (to change sticks) has been sent #SabresBylsma on Eichel - he's doing very well. Continues to skate off the ice, real close to skating with the team. It'll be quite soon #SabresBylsma - getting on the ice with your team is a whole 'nother level with Eichel's recovery from his high ankle sprain #SabresBylsma on 90 - there's a chance he'll be back this week. It's a nagging injury that can occur, don't wanna put him in that situation #Sabres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 @pham1717 Eichel seems to be moving pretty well. The injury happened six weeks ago today. @BuffaloSabres Ryan O'Reilly looks to be full-go at skate -- on the top line with Moulson & Okposo.

Bylsma won't comment on when he could return but says "the end is getting near" #Sabres Bylsma needs to resist Eichel's exhortations and the urge to put him back in because we need a jolt of offense.
