    I was the one who questioned that comment because the Sabres were the reason that Seattle didn’t play their A game.  

    Good call out.  I had to look at the winning streak in January for the Kraken.  They are the first team in NHL history to sweep a seven game road trip, and three of the six teams that swept 6 games went on to win the cup (according to On the Fly/NHL).  They also have a goal difference of +25 month to date.   That was one hot team, and the Sabres were  ultra competitive.

    I did not see anything from Asplund or Hinostroza in their two game stint with Cozens, but maybe the fancy stats say otherwise?  

    No Krebs?   So Asplund at center with Kyle and Hinostroza.   Hmmm.  Someone needs to show they want to stay in the lineup.

    Negative the Cozens Line was the worse in the two games they played. 
     

    Vinnie is probably the best candidate to waive. 

    Agree.  Their line had only 12 minute ES over two games with a 34% Corsi and 12/1 high danger chances against/for.  Cozens played better in his two previous with JJ and Quinn despite them struggling.   Neither Vinnie or Rasmus have played much recently so we can give some latitude but both need to step up their game today on a new line. 
     

    Musical Walkover.

  10. Sabres Prospects 2022-2023

    Really don't get why people think Savoie is going to be NHL ready next year? 

    Recent history I suppose.  For every top 10 draftee that takes 2+ years to develop (Quinn, Suziki, Glass) there are multiples who are contributing in D+1 - Necas, McTavish, Berniers, Kent Johnson, Cole Sillinger, L Raymond, Cole P, Lundell, Jarvis, Zegras, Dach, Cozens, Elias Petersson, etc.  Even Mitts made the squad in 2018. So if there is talent in the bottom six keeping him out, he would most assuredly will see a top 9 role by 2024. If Mitts is truly finding his game as a forward on the RW, and Jost continues to contribute in his role, then both contract situations strengthens the Sabres ability to develop Savoie another year with no risk. This also assume Krebs continues to develop with a grinder line this year and next.  But history says many of these kids are ready D+1.

    That's actually great (edit: cautiously optimistic) news for Pete (easy for me to say). The condition is one of the differential diagnoses when older folks are getting worked up for suspected dementia/Alzheimer's. You kind of root for it as an explanation.

    Pete's another good guy. Like John he took the time to respond to me in a personal way, way back when.

    Just read this to my father, who is visiting from Buffalo.  He recalled seeing Pete multiple times back in the day at a breakfast place on Hertel Ave and he always had time to chat up the boys about the Bills/Sabres/Bisons.  🙏

    Rosen has been impressive with his speed, shot and playmaking.

    Kulich would be in MVP talk if not for Bedard.

    Östlund has looked much better then Gaucher and as good as those other players. His IQ and ability to make plays all over the ice has been on full display. He also can PK and play the PP.  The kid has Sebastian Aho vibes about him if he can continue to develop and fill out.

    Wright does not stand out regardless of where he plays. I just don’t know with him.

    Not that this tournament is the end all, be all, but six goals in six games, and chosen as player of the game is anything but “inconsistent”.  Coupled with his playing in the AHL at 18, I would say his development is on 🎯.

    Could be 52% for the year.  Not this line.  Highly sheltered.  Natural Stat Trick.

    Curious about the shift away from Def zone face-offs for this line, and specifically Mitts and VO.  
       When Casey was on the wing with Tage he saw a 53% O-zone rate.  With Vic for the entire year (with/without Jost) they were 58%. And with neither, Mitts was a staggering 28%.  In 84 minutes of time.  So why would a coach drastically reduce Defensive Zone face offs over the last few games (since the formation of the line with Jost- Arizona) for a player when they are statistically one of the better performers on the team? Not that Face-offs matter, eh Liger 😉.  The answer could be the offensive prowess of the three and better opportunity to score.  But I’m more glass half empty on this one.  It’s fear that a team struggling on the Dot will lose possession and increase the chances against with Mitts/VO in their own zone.

    Picking on the wrong D tonight. Dahlin and Samuelsson were the problem (combined -3 and a lot of d zone sloppiness). Power and Bryson were fine; +1 each 

    Bryson may have been a +1 but wasn’t fine.  Horrible pinch/decision to pinch, out of position multiple time and still loses more puck battles than he wins. I bench him before Clague, when Joki is healthy.  Not like it hasn’t been said consistently on multiple threads, but the Sabres need to trade for a RD.
