Just a shame you can't see it but Stevie Wonder can, maybe you really can't see.

How? Guy leads the team in points and goals at a reasonable contract.

Still young and inexperienced nhl player.

Doesnt make sense?

Skinner no goals
Eichel 2 goals
Hall 1 goal
Dahoin 1 goal
Okposo no goals

Goals win games. 1-0 . Does it really matter if its 5 x 4?
Game winner

No one is saying they don't matter.
We are saying he is legit bad at every other aspect of the game.

He's quite possibly the best powerplay player in the nhl, but you can't just dismiss that he is getting premium 5v5 minutes and doing absolutely nothing with it

He's a net positive but definitely hurting them even strength

If this team is winning consistently, no one is b!tching one bit about VO.

True story.

He's good on the Power play.

He's legitimately awful everywhere else.

It's almost laughable at this point.

He will not be worth the next contract he gets.

Id strike while the iron is hot.

- ImThatGuy

he' s actually not miserable everywhere else...knows how to back check and play a good two-way game

But seriously, can you dismiss the fact that nobody on the Sabres except lazar are producing 5 x 5?

Why is it all on the guy thats actually helping the team win?

Again, is he not back checking? What should I look for?

The other team isnt scoring with him out there recently?

I have also convinced myself that eichel is 100% hurt

He's getting knocked to the ice every game, sometimes pretty easily. I can hardly remember him ever getting knocked to the ice his entire career.

That's what I've been watching.
Olofsson is a really good skater as well.

Definitely a bust but can still be a useful 3rd liner.

I haven’t had a problem with his game tonight.

Well its clearly not all on him, but you're calling him a superstar in the making when he's really just an insane powerplay specialist.

And to me, 5 on 5 he's not a terrible back checker, but strangely enough when he has the puck in the offensive zone he usually immediately ends the possession with a bad play.

Its perplexing, because when he's under pressure on the powerplay, he usually makes good decisions.

5 x 5 ? Or on the pp?

When does eichel get knocked down more?

Kind of sad how Borgen should have been a regular in the lineup even last year and Bryson should have been on opening roster this year.

Both needed an abundance of injuries just to play over the guys they are better than

The Sabres aren't here to be 'really good', they're here to be not very well-liked.

I'll keep an eye out for olofsson's turn overs immediately when he enters the zone. Fair enough.

On the eichel scale of 1 -10 turnovers a game, where we at with olo?
