GDT - Sabres @ Senators 7:00 PM (EST) January 18, 2022 - MSG-B

Samuelson was the third star on the TSN feed. Solid game, not flashy but efficient. -
Sam Pollock was GM there for most of the 70’s run.

With Hinestroza out this would have been a great time to bring up Quinn. He played for the 67’s and lives within driving distance of Ottawa. Go Sabres. Entertain me. -
Dahlin was on the list last February, different strain though, so he could get it again.

I watched about half of this game. He showed me nothing. I did not see anything outstanding from him at the 2 World Junior games either. His status is dropping in my opinion, I don’t think he’s a bust but perhaps his development has leveled off. Sean Day received exceptional status from the OHL at 15 and he is still in the minors. I think Wright will make it and be good but unless he picks his game up he will be challenged for 1st overall.

Vote for power and levi ( hobey baker)
French Collection replied to Buffalonill's topic in The Aud Club
Levi with 41 votes while Power has 23. Middle of the pack. Looks like there is some ballot stuffing going on because some of the leaders are not top candidates in my opinion. -
This team's problem is not a lack of talent

I think Dahlin is the best Sabre. -
Yeah, even if they don’t get Nemec or Jiricek there are quite a few 1st rounders. This is the year to get a RHD in the first or even early second.

French Collection replied to Doohickie's topic in The Aud Club
The team lacks talent. The GM is thinking long term and being patient. The coach is a good teacher for this stage of the rebuild. Lack of talent really affects depth because the next man up is a JAG. JAGs cannot score at the NHL level, especially when paired up with other JAGs. You still need to outscore the other team to win. They don’t have Hasek in net so the team probably needs 3-4 goals to win consistently. You can teach JAGs to play a trap, collapse to the net defensively and block shots but they will get caved in eventually because they can’t break out, lack hockey IQ, take penalties because of a lack of speed & mobility and being outmatched. When your goalies are JAGs it just compounds the problems. Next year, when Quinn, Krebs, JJP, Mule, Power are ready to help, there will be more talent available. A decent goalie added for 1-2 years will allow Levi and/or Portillo get ready on the farm. Signing a key role veteran or two will help development and depth. -

Sabres should have taken the fish from her, lucky charm. -
GDT: Sabres @ Nashville MSG 8 PM EST

Sabres played tough, out hit by a wide margin but they were taking it. Great composure and no retaliation. -

Nice play by Pysyk to control the puck, too bad he missed the open net. I would like to see Skinner get the hattie but don’t want his defensive game out there. -

Wow nice control. -
I thought Jack Hughes didn’t belong in his rookie season, he was a little wimp. Wright is not as talented but physically more developed. I would give him 9 games and if he makes an impact he stays.
