God freaking hell, Trouba over Dahlin.... just wtf.

Sorry but this is such BS. That isn't who Dahlin is and if he wasn't playing the most incompetent team in the league you wouldn't think such an outlandish thing. Also Trouba? Are you joking? You would rather have Trouba than Dahlin? I just can't even anymore with all this Dahlin hate. Guy had almost 200 hits last year, lead the league in defender goals, was still a positive defensive player and yet you want Jacob Trouba. Vomit. Edit: Sorry, Dahlin was 3rd in goals just behind Makar and Josi

This sentence is everything wrong with the Buffalo Sabres organization from top to bottom. They act like every game they don't "necessarily need to win" when in reality, they do.

You clearly are not aware of the Colorado goaltending issues.

But 3rd in the division currently. I think a win tonight will be difficult to come by but if they manage it they would jump to 2nd in the division. Gotta find ways to win.

As far as Benson goes, they can sit him again and then play him Friday if he is good to go. He will have essentially had 2 weeks off while only really missing 3 games. Ruff also talked about keeping forward pairs together and shifting guys around. Idk, should be interesting.

Meanwhile in Colorado...

The 4-4 Sabres take on the 6-3 Panthers. The Panthers will look for revenge after a bad outing in Buffalo the other week where top players were injured and Knight had a lowsy game in net. Reinhart leads the Panthers with 14pts and Thompson leads Buffalo with 11pts. Panthers have a 20%pp and a 89.3% pk compared to Buffalo at 3.8% pp and 77.8% pk. The Panthers have a 3.3 gpg and gapg compared to Buffalo at 3.33 gpg and 3.44 gapg. I'd expect Bobrovsky v UPL, unless Buffalo wants to get a Levi start in here.

Wasn't someone else the pp coach in 2022? Ellis was only an assistant last year?

I'm 2-0 for gdt. I should retire.

Dark days March sometime

I don't think it applies to Benson at all. He understands and can play in the system just fine.

He's either 1st or tied for 1st in even strength goals.

Sabres outshot them 39 to 25 I think

Honestly I feel like that's the perfect amount of games.

Quinn!

Those 10 seconds on the pp are the best I've seen from Quinn. Actually moved his feet.

I'd bench Quinn. He just isn't clicking at all, looks lost.

Kill the penalty and get moving. We stopped moving our feet and we're the better team.

We're up by 1 actually.

Gdt are basically stream of consciousness from ppl watching so lots of immediate reactions as opposed to careful analysis. That's what makes it fun.

We all like winning. Dude is legit not in playing condition, like needs all the cardio
