Despite all the hand wringing here I don’t think Ruff handled Östlund wrong so far. Make him play defense and be responsible first. Playing 4th line with Maley and Lafferty isn’t his end role but he still created some opportunities, he passes well and he sees the ice. Playing him on PP2 was also smart to let him stretch out his game. I liked what I saw but he will benefit more from a second season in Rochester. He could be the playmaker I am looking for.

I don’t think the coaching change helped at all. McAvoy is out, he is their Dahlin. Marchand got old, they miss his leadership. Debrusk, Coyle, others of that ilk are gone. No one fears the Bruins. They have one line.

I thought he has a good but short stretch in November too, Ruff said he did. Then he disappeared.

Yes, Yes, Yes, depends.

Three for TNT

Just checked. You are correct. They B’s beat the Canes last night in Beantown.

Benson looking good playing with the skill guys.

Interesting. Sabres are on a back to back and Ray is commenting on how tired the Bruins are. Good to hear that.

That was a goal scorer move. TNT

Zucker felt like Lucker

Sabres have to win in regulation, or else something something.

e tu Promotheus ?

It’s not just his glove. His reading of the play is often way off. His movement and positioning have been bad. He needs an off season to reset. Coaching, Video work, and more work after that.

Dahlin is damm good.

Ugh. Need a big save.

Yes. Put the puck on this goalie.

TNT

Indeed. Too many passes. Shoot and get bodies to the net.

UPL missed it. Ugh

Krebs shoot that puck boy.

Sabres too fancy. Too many passes. UPL out of position again.

John Young fixed the rink, Rayzor with the call.

They are going to erupt.

Dahlin needs to shoot that. 36 almost made a fancy move
