Rubes Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Got to Buffalo for the opener and found out they're having a prospect challenge tournament, so I'm watching Sabres prospects open up a 3-0 lead in the first period against New Jersey. Eichel assisted on the first goal less than 40 seconds into the game. Dude is smooth as silk. Made a sick move later on and came a hair away from scoring. Rodriguez has a goal and assist already. This is some entertaining stuff.
Rubes Posted September 13, 2015 Author Posted September 13, 2015 Rodriguez with another goal. This guy is money!
Rubes Posted September 13, 2015 Author Posted September 13, 2015 Scratch that, it's Baptiste with two goals, Rodriguez with one. 5-0 after two.
Rubes Posted September 13, 2015 Author Posted September 13, 2015 Reinhart with one more to finish it off at 6-2. Good stuff.
Rubes Posted September 13, 2015 Author Posted September 13, 2015 Takeaways, for those interested: Eichel is as billed. He's a maestro out there. We'll see how he does against the big boys, but he plays with speed and vision. Rodriguez is a good player. Seemed like he stood out and was better than most of the other players. This guy was making plays left and right. Reinhart did not look great. Scored a goal, but didn't play fast, looked a little disinterested. Did score a nice goal at the end, though. #85 (Chapman, I think?) is a gamer. Like the way he played. Strong, fast, and fearless. #81, forgot his name, had a forgetful night. Not big enough for the NHL. Makarov, the goalie for the first half of the game, was strong and pitched a shutout. Seemed very confident. That's all I got! Lot of fun watching these guys.

PromoTheRobot Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 In bummed there are no Sabres preseason or prospects games next weekend for the Pats**. I'm coming in for that one.
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 In bummed there are no Sabres preseason or prospects games next weekend for the Pats**. I'm coming in for that one. They don't want the Pats** cheating ways to rub off on such a young Sabres team!
Rubes Posted September 13, 2015 Author Posted September 13, 2015 In bummed there are no Sabres preseason or prospects games next weekend for the Pats**. I'm coming in for that one. Yeah, just missing the preseason game on the 23rd.
