Friday’s Washington Coverage (Part II)

Caps, Sabres Tangle Again (WashingtonCaps.com)

Sabres can’t overcome ‘very disappointing start,’ drop season opener to Capitals

‘“We had a very disappointing start,” Krueger said. “They came with a lot of speed. We had trouble adapting after the break. … They did a very good job of getting on us and taking away space and time and the pressure. I thought it took us at least a period and a bit to finally see our legs coming.”’

Mike Harrington: A weird backdrop was fitting for slipshod Sabres opener

‘You get the point. There was nothing. Just eerie quiet.’

Sabres taking precautions to protect goalies from worst-case scenario outbreak

‘One of those spots must be filled by a goaltender. The Sabres have Jonas Johansson as their taxi-squad goalie and the 25-year-old has split his practice time in recent days between the NHL roster and a small group. Johansson, or whoever fills that role throughout the season, will travel with the team and can be recalled on a game day if he tests negative for Covid-19 and is not deemed a close contact of anyone who tested posted.’

Wraparound: Sabres lose season opener to Washington Capitals, 6-4

‘Cozens logged 11:12 of ice time across 17 shifts while recording one shot on goal and a plus-1 rating.’

Sabres look rusty early, fall to Capitals in season opener after late comeback

‘After a 10-month layoff because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Sabres, not surprisingly, looked out of sync, especially early. They struggled to defend, played too timid and committed some awful gaffes.’

Sabres notes: Colin Miller rebounds to earn spot among top-six defensemen

‘“He has adjusted and acclimatized completely to not only the area of Buffalo but also on the ice to the way we want to play,” Krueger said on a Zoom call prior to the game. “He’s getting used to the aggressive gapping style we expect from our defensemen while still adding to the offense, which he’s very good at.”‘

Cozens fares well as Sabres struggle in opening night loss to Capitals

‘“Dylan played a very good first game,” said Sabres head coach Ralph Krueger of the team’s prized rookie. “Very calm. He never looked overwhelmed.”’

Sabres take issue with Dowd’s hit on Staal and that could be a major problem

‘”That’s a tough hit,” Taylor Hall told the media. “[Staal’s] not even a really dangerous player at that point when he has the puck, so for their guy to go after him and make contact with his jaw like that, it’s not something that you want to see.”‘
