Last sentence is the root cause here. This is one of the least talented rosters in the league (probably bottom 3) and that’s with Mitts and VO. They’ve managed to win some games because they play hard, are scrappy and have probably snuck up on a couple of teams. Watching this team trying to set up anything on offense is painful. And how many breakaway opportunities have we had this season? Very few because they are slllllooooooowwwwww and any breakaways get snuffed out before they get anywhere near the net. I just hope they don’t rush the kids in Rochester. Let them cook down there and maybe call them up sometime in the last month. Hopefully guys like Peterka, Quinn and Krebs (not to mention Tuch) inject some needed speed and offensive skill.
I'm fine with letting Quinn, Peterka, Krebs et al cook in Rochester this season, but holy smokes do we need some offensive playmakers and goal scorers.
Offensively, he can be frustrating, but I think it’ll come along eventually. Defensively, no complaints from me. He’s becoming a guy that is neutralizing the opposition’s best players almost every night.
That was a brutal last 10 minutes. Just brutal.
Dahlin has to be the most frustrating player in Sabres history. He shows occasional flashes of what he’s capable of, then starts eating retard sandwiches. Guys like Bryson and Butcher getting waxed on the way to the net isn’t enfuriating because they’re marginal players, that’s gonna happen. Dahlin was the #1 overall pick in his draft and Bertuzzi pulled down his pants and painted a picture on his ass before burying it. Yuck.
