BillsFan4 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 1 hour ago, Doc said: If true, and I would expect Rivet wouldn't be lying, that's pathetic. But not surprising. I soured on Jackie a couple years after he joined the Sabres. That would be great to see. Okposo, but No Eichel in the photo makes me think he’s telling the truth. Like you said, I don’t expect he’d be lying about this. It also sounds like it’s just one of many not so flattering Jack Eichel stories. on a somewhat similar subject, I don’t think Eichel has been made available to the media once since his post-game interview in Buffalo. Wonder why… 😂 They weren’t going to make him available after that Buffalo game either but I guess Mike Harrington was pretty vocal and Eichel ended up coming out.

The Jokeman Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 4 hours ago, Doc said: I'd like one or both to just go straight to the Sabres. The argument is you can ruin them by playing them too early, but I've heard the same argument for QBs and Josh became a stud despite practically starting as a rookie. Straight to Sabres is a mistake, these kids need to develop in Rochester first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the same, I'd Iike to see Levi on the Sabres for a few games like PTR said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to think you are right, the NHL is slowly following the pace of the NFL. Rookies used to sit for a year or two, unless an extraordinary player, but now 1st and 2nd rounders... even 3rds... are going in right away. Of course rookies in the NHL come from farm clubs but I see the trend as well. Looking forward to the game in a half an hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T&C Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Ah... just heard on WGR that RJ will be doing the call, nice bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 😯 almost Hasek-like. feel bad he lost today. He carried them all season. Definitely anxious to see if the Sabres sign him or he goes back to college for another year. Not sure what he has left to prove in college.

T&C Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Glad I decided to watch this one... RJ And Harry Neale, plus, this intermission is a riot. Don't think I even had pubes when RJ started calling the games in 71. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T&C Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Ah well, we got a point... like it matters. I hate the dingy looking jerseys/sweaters, never really heard why we are wearing them nor have I looked it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That second guy in the shootout who walked in…..Tokarski should have conceded the goal, skated out and punched him right in the face, Bush league. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. I can’t stand shootout attempts like that. To me, stuff like that should be considered a violation of the forward momentum rule. Same with the ones where a guy skates in real wide then stick handles at a crawl sideways in front of the net. I know it’s a legal attempt within the rules but I definitely think it pushes the boundaries. I kind of wish they’d put a time limit on shootout attempts or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in Mich Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) I hate that super slow crap too but if a Sabre did it and scored it would look a lot better A simple shot clock could work. How many seconds would be appropriate? Edited March 26, 2022 by Bob in Mich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make the shootout more like the game though. I have understood instituting the shootout and it can show off some amazing individual skills but it certainly isn’t all that much like the game itself Anyone else watching the college hockey tourney? Been some very entertaining games. Michigan has a couple of Sabre prospects to help the interest level too Hopping between the college and pro hockey games on TV I found myself yelling at the Sabres to ‘hit that guy’. I know there is a playoff intensity that is not in the pro game but damn, I sure wish we followed through on our checks a whole lot more often Edited March 26, 2022 by Bob in Mich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T&C Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Looking forward to the matinee game at 5, the weather is so freaking perfect I'm going to watch it out back on a chromebook with a fire going... and beer. Wish these game actually meant something in the standings besides progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f0neguy Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 If on the shoot out attempts a defender were at the far blue line and started forward the same time as the shooter there might be a little more urgency to get the shot off… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
