Half-Assed GDT: Hunting Buffalo- Blues versus Sabres 7pm Tonight

[Robb_K]

Nice save by Husso on Thompson's hard drive!

 

[Linkens Mastery]

I just want Faulk to set up Kyrou for another goal for the Natural Hatty

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Tuch is a good player too

Sabres building a good team

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Barbashev has been here the whole time. Might be thinking of Klim Kostin who went back to Russia last year.

Fair enough. I also confuse both names with Jaskin and I know he hasn’t been there for awhile

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

for what? people to call him a stud #1D? i think almost everyone is pleased with his level of play.

that doesn't make him Chalie McAvoy good though...

 

[Robb_K]

Another good kill!

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Man...this is a hectic game

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

bad pass vova

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Lots of sticks on sticks, stops and starts....

 

[Mike Liut]

Kostin is a strong mofo. I still think he can turn into a Jamie Benn type

 

[Stealth JD]

Husso was good aside from the leaky first goal...which I'd blame the group in front of him as much as him.

 

[Puck Luck]

All those power plays and Buf gets their one goal on a funny bounce inside the first two minutes while 5 on 5

 

[Robb_K]

Not a great 1st Period. But happy for them having the lead. I hope they handle the puck better in The 2nd and 3rd.

He shows flashes but just leaves me wanting more every game.

He needs to camp out in front of the net more. He’s not around there nearly enough.

 

[BlueMed]

Tuch is a good player too

Yup, and they have 3 first rounders this year. If they sign Husso, get another top 6 forward and a couple defenseman in the first round, watch out. They should be good in 5 years.

At the very least, a David Backes or Milan Lucic.

 

[BluesFan98]

Kostin has been consistently good and not just flashes for the last 10 games or so.

 

[Mike Liut]

At the very least, a David Backes or Milan Lucic.

He’s a better skater than Backes was. I still have high hopes for him.

 

[BlueDream]

I mean, not really. Still leaves a ton to be desired. He’s a pretty limited player.

Jamie Benn? we're lucky if he become Josh Anderson. He has no chance of reaching the highs (or even 'averages') of Jamie Benn. Kostin is a better skater; Benn is better at pretty much everything else. Even as a shadow of his former self. Kostin should be mentioned in the same breath as Reaves at this point, not an Art Ross winner.

Ryan Johnson used to be good at his role too. Didn't make him anything more than a dangerous grinder who teases you with tools.

You never know. It's Kostin's first season in the NHL, and he's only 23 years old. Some players take a little longer for things to click. I do believe there's a good reason Kostin was ranked the #1 European Skater in his draft year.

Sunny has a LBI and will not return.
