‘There were a lot of questions surrounding the style of play new bench boss Ralph Krueger was going to implement. Thursday night it was apparent, the Blue and Gold had bought in. There was speed, along with pace bringing the puck out of the zone. There was stick to stick, creative passing we haven’t seen from this group in quite some time. They were innovative both in the zone, and on the power play. When Pittsburgh forced a turnover in the offensive zone, the Sabres responded, multiple times, and found ways to keep the play alive and keep the puck in the zone. Buffalo dominated the majority of the game against a skilled Penguins group.’
