    I didn’t believe pointing out the poor play ability of a player necessarily means we hate them. The kid made a terrible play that lost them the game is all. Yes the puck slid in to the corner, but both players on the ice with him were down lower as well, Tage isn’t exactly known for his speed and that showed when he couldn’t catch ole man Tavares, he actually stopped skating toward the end of Tavares rush in our zone. And while Power took the risk, he completely fumbled it. Situational awareness should lead to focus, even at those speeds, the kid lost the puck, it cost us the game, it is what it is. But nothing said it’s hateful to point it out.

    My immediate reaction was not one of our forwards stayed back when a D man was going to the net.  Power had a physical mistake the other was a metal mistake.  Or as Biz would say “cheating”.

    Jones for Bryson but I wonder  who Östlund is for other than Danforth

    Östlund plays a game the Sabres desperately need (playmaking centre) Wonder if he is ready to make an impact.

    I focused on him last night and he was all over on both ends of the ice.  Incredible stamina.  First impression was a slightly smaller, faster O’Reilly type.  200’ player.

    Why has it taken 20 years for someone to punk Marchand?

    I can see Benson following in his footsteps.  Sans the helmet trick of course.

    See, this what we should have done when we first started to rebuild. Traded Eichel etc. When you rebuild with youth you want some solid toughness on the roster. Bodyguards if you will. When you do that those kids learn it's okay to initiate cause somebody will have my back. The team grows and plays bigger and then eventually you don't need that guy as much cause you have an army. In time, he won't be needed most nights, but for now he's vital. 

    Eichel asked for more toughness on more than one occasion.  He was spot on.

    I haven't watched either of the last 2 games live. (saw most of last game on replay, haven't seen any of today's game yet)

    But I'm looking for opinions here. Since Benson has been back, does anyone have a preference for who has been better....Benson or Doan?

    When reading comments, I seem to read a lot of similar positives for both. Despite the stats, who appears to be better on the ice?

    IMO Benson.  Looking better than I could have imagined.  Catalyst is the best word I can think of.  He’s driving a culture change.
