Even if he doesn’t become an everyday 4th liner he can be the 13th F to finish the season. He has already helped the team get a few points.

He probably felt like he was back in the game. The trainer patching him up to so he could continue just felt right.

Robinson has contributed to some improved play and helped the team get a few points. As you point out, he may be a JAG soon enough, but he may realize this is his last chance and play hard for another contract. By the way, the asset traded for Stillman was Bloom. He has just been demoted to the ECHL after getting 1 point in 14 AHL games. I thought he would be a decent AHL forward but things are not looking good.

But perimeter play allows you to show off your edge work and dangling ability.

DG credited Jeremiah Crowe with pushing for Robinson. If he doesn’t get 45 games the Sabres aren’t even on the hook for the 7th rounder. This could happen if he platoons with Girgs/KO.

Way better fit with those guys than a rookie like Rosen.

He’s still contributing with possession, keeping plays alive and a good forechecking mentality. DG is even using him on the PK and in the last minutes. I think the points will come when Cozens gets his Mojo back.

He won’t keep up that production level but his speed and net driving should keep him on this team. If they all get healthy KA will have to waive some “buddies”. Bryson, Comrie and Jost are at risk. Robinson is worth a 7th rounder, I wonder who advocated for him.

A guy I am thinking of currently works with many NHLers as an independent skills coach. He has tons of PP experience as a player and a coach. Adam Oates.

Great night by Robinson, Krebs and Okposo. Okposo’s lack of speed makes him the perfect trailer. I have to give him credit for going to the net lately. Robinson has been a good addition, Krebs seems energized. RyJo needs to stay in the lineup. He and Power looked good together. Clifton still has some boneheaded plays but he has contributed. Cozens is just jinxed, once he breaks the seal, watch out. Dinged up Dahlin is better than 98% of the Dmen in the NHL. Levi is making the 3 headed monster obsolete. I wouldn’t give Comrie a start until they are mathematically out of it. JJP’s speed was on display for his goal, he split the D like they were pylons. Benson just does so many things right for an 18 year old, I hope he gets a few more points once Cozens starts scoring.

Baby steps, they won at home. Their recent play is better, keep building on that.

I don’t think he’ll be a big gun but any secondary scoring is welcome. He plays that direct game DG wants more guys to emulate.

Robinson with another good play on that ENG.

Nice dangle Benson, I would’ve liked to have seen the end result.

How’s the puck?

A win here does a lot towards getting on a roll points wise. It would also help the morale a tiny bit around this board. Just win boys! I don’t care if the goals come 5v5, PP, SH, OT or shootout just frigging score more than the Desert Dogs. Butt goals count too Murray.

Plus he gets PP and PK time tacked on. He should be a 4th liner and load managed at that.

With the cap going up there may be extensions so a lot of pending UFAs may get locked up. I’m losing hope for this year, KA better add some quality talent once KO, VO, Jost, Girgs are gone.

Bruins were up 3-0 on the Yotes, now only 4-3 in the 3rd. 16 minutes left in the third and AZ on a PP. Go Yotes!

French is my first language but I’ll still put up with those clowns. Since it is on Sportsnet up here, I may get an English non MSG feed.

Didn’t sound like it from DG’s interview.

They don’t want to disrespect him but are probably thinking about maintenance days coming for KO. The first sign of soreness would be a perfect time to rest him. He can still hand out participation trophies after the game.

JJP’s confidence from the World Championships and some added strength has taken him up a notch. I forget which game a few weeks ago but he was clocked as the fastest skater for either team. Quinn was willing to engage last year but knocked off the puck a lot. His injury kept him from doing a lot of exercise but he was probably able to get stronger. He plays a smart game and I am impressed with his ability to create space and set up teammates, he was primarily a shooter in junior.

It seems like Robinson can fill that role, so no rush. If only KA could find a way to have KO be ‘load managed’. Krebs could help a bit more offensively if he had a little more skill on his wings.

Hadn’t thought of that angle but probably true. Luongo fought to get Levi drafted and was sad to see him go.
