26CornerBlitz Posted March 18, 2016 Author Posted March 18, 2016 @CBSSportsNHL NHL Rookie Power Rankings: Gostisbehere unseats Panarin at No. 1 in big shakeup at the top http://cbsprt.co/1R3xd9g 3. Jack Eichel, Buffalo Sabres (3): After busting out of a mini-slump with seven points over his last seven games, Eichel has a pretty good hold on second place in the rookie scoring race. The future Sabres star now has 22 goals and 48 points in 71 games. He continues to mature as well and an injury to Ryan O'Reilly has allowed the rookie to take on an even bigger role if only temporarily. After knocking down his ice time in the middle portion of the season, Eichel is back to averaging around 22 minutes per game and is ahead of all rookie forwards in average time on ice per game. Another key stat for Eichel is the amount of shots on net he is generating. He's poured 216 shots on net so far. If he keeps that up next season, he's likely to see more go in. Honorable Mention: Sam Reinhart (Buffalo Sabres)

26CornerBlitz Posted March 18, 2016 Author Posted March 18, 2016 @BuffaloSabres Nic Deslauriers' pregame comments: http://bufsabres.co/3qq71B #OTTvsBUF @Dan_Dunleavy gets you ready for tonight's game: http://bufsabres.co/opODEr #OTTvsBUF I've gotta admit, I'm a little jealous watching Eichel and Reinhart. I was ecstatic that the Sens made the push last year to make the playoffs, but as we are probably going to miss this year, part of me wishes we went in the tank last year too. Stone looking like a star in the making has been a decent consolation, but Eichel is special. He's gotten stronger as the season has gone on which is really impressive. When the Sabres are dominating the league in a few years, I'll hate them, but right now it's fun watching young talent like that. Enjoy another great look at Eichel the Ankle Breaker.

26CornerBlitz Posted March 19, 2016 Author Posted March 19, 2016 Eichel to Reinhart to Bogo on a Tic Tac Toe!
LB3 Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Chippy game. Sabres intensity has been way higher so far.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 19, 2016 Author Posted March 19, 2016 @BuffaloSabres SABRES WIN!! 3-1 final over the division rivals. #OTTvsBUF
Alaska Darin Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Chris Neil is still an enormous piece of ****.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 19, 2016 Author Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) Chris Neil is still an enormous piece of ****. Nothing new about that D-Bag showing his ass. Phaneuf showing what a jackass he is by head hunting on Reinhart. Someone should have beat his ass for that. Edited March 19, 2016 by 26CornerBlitz
26CornerBlitz Posted March 19, 2016 Author Posted March 19, 2016 @BuffaloSabres Bogosian on #15, #23: Very mature. Beyond their years.

JohnC Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 The Eichel, Reinhart and Gergensons line was clicking. Bogosian has really elevated his game. I thought Ruhwedel played well for a call up. O'Reilly, Kane and Bogosian were traded for. Considering what was sent out and what we got in return it was a decisive positive for us. The Lehnerd deal can be graded as an incomplete so far but I think it is going to materialize into a strong positive for us. I'm very glad that Chad Johnson wasn't dealt.

I hope they nail him when the teams play again. I've had a chance to see a few games lately and Eichel is the goods.

Pegula better hand that tape personally to Bettman.
Doc Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 I wish Jack had punched him in the throat when he had the chance.
