    Yep. Some games will be over 50%. And some wonā€™t. Opponent kinda matters. šŸ˜‚

    Ā 

    That being said, if Krebs and Thompson could improve that skill, that would be great.

    With practice and determination, a bad faceoff guy should at the very least become a 50% guy. Ā Sorry, but no excuse for being around 40%, let alone a lot worse.Ā

    I realize it's not a popular take, but i think they gotta send Benson back to the WHL. While he shows flashes of being very good, his potential is enormous, let him cook in the WHL and light up the score sheet. I think besides the few nice flashes he makes, he just loses the puck too easily too many times. He just doesn't seem strong enough for this level. I think as theres more tape on the kid teams gonna feast on him more.

    I tend to agree, but I have a feeling KA will keep him here for the season.Ā

    Itā€™s frankly shocking to me that people who watch hockey have to be constantly reminded that young players arenā€™t finished products and the more talented ones almost always develop and improve as they age. Is the memory of past years and past players that cloudy? I just donā€™t get it. Never have.

    Cloudy? Yeah, the last 12 years have been a little foggy. šŸ˜‚

    Gtg was 100% Dahlin terrible decision to weakly push puck up the wall instead of eat it.Ā  Sabres are man down and his teammates should be collapsing around the house with 10 seconds left rather than looking for a breakout.Ā  They can't score if the puck is behind the net, but our franchise Norris guy does that?Ā  Ouch.Ā Ā 

    Other than that, lots to like in this one.Ā Ā 

    Ok

  5. I will continue to beat the dead horse that Power had no business being handed that contract. Ā His refusal to play any defense other than stick checking is not acceptable, and shame on DG and the other coaches for doing nothing about it. Iā€™d sit his a$$ in the press box until he shows in practice that he will engage the opposition.Ā 
    Ā 

    That being saidā€¦good win!

  6. IMO VO still has trade value for some team starved for goal scoring and PP help. Ā  Maybe not a premium pick, but a 3rd or 4th round pick for a guy who can pot 25-30 goals on on an expiring deal would be a decent deal for the team acquiring VOā€¦.especially if put on a line with two linemates who are more than adequate in terms of two way play.Ā

    I think the time has come to pass the torch of the past years of Sabre playoff failures and remove players who were part of it.Ā  I think it is time forĀ KyleĀ Okposo and ZemgusĀ Girgensons to ride into the sunset and open a couple of roster spots for others.Ā Ā 

    This should have been done in the offseason. Instead KA gifted them 2.5m each. Ā 
    Ā 

    That being said, other players around the league are going to want to flock to Buffalo because they will see how they treat players here. /sarcasm off
