Believer

To date, KA built speed, skill, and character… We lack physicality… Our checking is spotty and we are consistently out hit by opponents. Who steps up to defend our players?… Who steps up to set a tone… reset the tone…or provide a spark? KA added Greenway… Clifton… for a reason… Like to see a few more of our players get physical … to balance our speed, skill, and character. This is a KA roster… and a DG coaching issue, imo Decent goaltending and a few tweaks, we can dominate a tough Division and Conference for the next several years.

Bravo… Well said.

Thanks for the correction… If I’m Adams and Granato, I’m hanging in there with UPL… but it won’t surprise me if he is part of a package trade this season to shore up our D.

UPL just turned 23… Takes time to develop NHL goalie skills… He has the size… He is developing his hockey sense, movement, glove, blocker, breakaway… His aggressiveness and compete need more work… With success will come confidence… Look at the swagger Levi developed in his remarkable amateur and college years… Doubt the Sabres give up on UPL at this point in their investment of time in him.

Seems when it comes to player development, Granato believes in progress… not perfection.

Give me at least 10 games to see the trend before I even think about planting my flag on this season… Goaltending will be my focus.

Thought I read sometime back Anderson was going to serve as mentor?

Post game interviews are up on the Sabres site… Looks like Benson and JJ interviews scrubbed… Neither said anything new… Bad questions.

Benson, Victor, JJ looked good… Skinner played hard… Forgot to add Mitts… 2nd Star

Could have and should have cleared it himself.

Thompson and Tuch… No Shows tonight… At least Skinner’s shooting the puck.

Dumb pass by Benson in our end resulted in this goal…

Levi is awful…

Dahlin is -4 tonight…

Levi looks slow…not moving tonight… Lets see if the team responds… Bails him out

Geez Power.

PP was 0-4 last game… Not tonight!

Gotta love Krebs…

How sweet was that…

No… But the team was flat against CBJ for the first two periods last game… Granato was unhappy with the effort… and this is the final preseason game… Time for vets to ratchet up their game.

Both needed a good game.

PP needs attention… 0-4

UPL didn’t help himself… Neither did Olofsson.

Granato cannot be happy with the effort…

Six minutes… Who’s gonna step up?
