    Heading into today, he’s  also minus 13 with that production on a team with a plus 14 goal differential. No matter how you slice it he is a defensive liability that just doesn’t produce enough to offset that.

    I'm willing to trade him, but like I said I think he could be used better as an offensive specialist and keep him off the ice when it comes to defense. He has only had a 60% offensive zone start percentage this year when in previous years he was closer to 70% and his +/- has gotten better this year even with the higher percentage of defensive zone starts.

    I'm not infatuated but he has 23 goals the 4th most on the team.

     

    He is a PP and offensive specialist and imo is sorta used wrong by Granato, he should bounce around lines, even the 4th line and just be put on the ice when we get face-offs in the offensive zone or were on the PP and that is about it, as little defensive responsibility as possible.

    Opponents will continue to run the Sabres until they can't.

    Nope. It's NHL network. All I've got is occasional radio as I wander past about doing chores. I left at 3-2 and got back and it was 6-2. I'm oblivious to all the garbage in the final minutes of the 2nd. I'm living in a world where the Sabres will win handily in the third.

    Out of curiosity: was it a drop-back or poor pass in the o-zone? Because I'm saying you can rifle it back to a D behind the Sabres net (Power, Joker) and wait for them to try their forecheck again and start another rush.

    No look drop back pass to no one, D was going for a change.

  4. We literally just let them stand right in front of UPL rubbing up on him and screening him untouched. WTF, d-man should be all over these mofo's pushing them out of the crease and away from our goalie.

     

    Clear the friggin crease! Make them pay for standing there! Unreal 2 easy goals because our defense can't play with some physicality.

    Okposo's line played well in this game as they are more suited to the style Ottawa was dictating. The kids struggle with this stuff, they still have much to learn. Krebs is getting it. It'll come. 

    The only way the kids struggling learn to play is to play the game...

     

    Skinner Tuch and Tage Thompson were all a -2 tonight, so OBVIOUSLY playing them and sitting the rookies didn't do jack ***** but make us lose.

    They are young.  They will be young for the next few years.   You could see from the first period that they were tired.  This team is not going to win every night.  

    YA everyone can see they are all tired, yet Granato plays TT, Skinner, Tuch 19 minutes and Quinn and JJ 11-12 minutes...

     

    Should we not be using the fresh legs in a back to back game? Why is he forcing our 1st line onto the ice tired? I hate this crap, its the same crap we did with Eichel.

     

    This is not a 1 line team and I don't want it to be.

    The first line all played less than 20 minutes. That’s reasonable for a first line of a team that is down and is trying to win. Dahlin did play a lot, but he was the best looking Sabre out there tonight IMO. 

    I disagree, it is not reasonable, there is only 60 minutes in a game and 4 lines, 60 / 4 = 15 minutes toi. For some reason the last 3 games Granato has been playing his 1st line 4-5 minutes more then any other line when before that is was much more balanced, like versus Vegas Cozens and Mittelstadt had as much TOI as Tage Thompson and Skinner...

     

    When did we become a 1 line team?

  8. Granato making some bad decisions tonight... Overplaying Dahlin and his first line AGAIN in back to back nights while his rookies sit on the bench and watch...

    Not pulling the goalie on 3 face-offs in the offensive zone makes no sense... we had to score...

     

    I dunno when we became a 1 line team and Granato started this crap with overplaying Dahlin and his first line, but it needs to stop, now.
