How that isn't a penalty to Skinner I will never know.

Please tell me that forearm did not actually knock Casey down.

I think he just wasn't expecting it cause the puck was long gone so it knocked him off balance, he isn't that weak.

Tkachuk knows how to use his face to draw penalties jeesh.

Mitts bro, don't put your head up and stare into the sky and stop skating after getting stripped like that!!! Get your ass back in the game and get the puck back and make the guy regret ever doing it.

Your attitude is terrible!

Marty reviewing Skinner’s near miss. That was the only offense generated by him and Thompson and Peterka happened to be on with them.

Peterka gonna be a star, his vision / hockey smarts reminds me of Reinhart, but he has better skate speed then Reinhart.

Mittlestat is a giveaway machine. I wish they traded him over the summer. They should try Krebs at center.

The defense has got to stop pinching and giving up odd man rushes. Power can’t get away with that college stuff.

And they have to come up with a better PP breakout than that pass back at center ice disaster.

Only thing mittelstadt is good at is skating with the puck up the ice, the issue is it stops there... He skates the puck up the ice into the other opponents end, and then promptly gives it away, lmao.

 

He can't make a pass, or dump it in, or even shoot the puck, just loses it almost every time.

Tons of overreactions to the young Sabres playing last year's Presidents' Trophy team...

Game time emotions, nothing new here.

They played a shift or two with Quinn and JJ centered by Krebs and it actually looked decent.

I saw Mittelstadt like put his hands up in frustration and stop skating after losing the puck battle on the boards for the 10th time this game.

Shows me all I need to know about this guy, he will never get it together with that kind of attitude.

Don't worry he will be replaced later this season or next season by someone that is actually good like Rosen or Kulich or maybe even Savoie.

Tage has been god-awful tonight 🤬

Every time our first line is on the ice Florida just slaps the puck down the ice to our end over and over until they get off the ice, they can't get anything going.

Early in the season, but hard not to love Dahlin's game so far.  Energy, chaos and skill.

Guy is on pace for greatness so far this season.

Peterman having a strong game. Quinn is unnoticeable.

Well he is only been on the ice for 5:31... so ya... a minute less then anyone else on the team.

 

Tage Thomspon has 12 minutes and he is a -1 and only has 1 shot on net, def not noticeable either.

I would say Cozens,JJP,Dahlin. Goaltenders so far good.

Agreed, I would add tuch, that line has been the bright spot on this team so far, need the other 2 lines to step up, 4th line is a solid 4th line im not expecting much offense from them.

Goaltending has been great, Dahlin good, Samuelsson been ok.

 

The rest of the team needs to step it up. Olofsson is probably the best of the bad but still not good.

Probably in net bust can't tell with glove closed.

Has JJP been the best Sabres forward in first two games.

Yes JJP is the best Sabres player ATM, Cozens close 2nd.

 

Honestly the rest of the team has been bad.... Well besides the 4th line, they been good defensively.

[GDT: Panthers @ Sabres 10/15/2022, 1pm, MSG, ESPN+, BSFL, WGR]

Skinner you suck bro, can't get the puck up a few inches with all that time to prepare? FFS

[GDT: Panthers @ Sabres 10/15/2022, 1pm, MSG, ESPN+, BSFL, WGR]

26 faceoffs in one period? Shows how much the puck is getting slapped all around the ice (by both teams) that play was stopped 26 times, that is more then once a minute bro...

 

These players can't even get a minute of uninterrupted play, ZZZZ

I’m putting the split PPs at 5 games. Eventually we’ll return to something akin to

Thompson-Cozens-Olofsson

Tuch - Dahlin

 

Quinn-Skinner-Okposo

Krebs - Power

 

I want it to end now, split the PP's has never been a good strategy.. it doesn't make sense, you have a 2 minute time limit and the PP ends as soon as you score, so you should be putting as much talent out on the ice at the same time as you can to SCORE, we don't need or should we want to even have our 2nd PP unit see the ice, if the 2nd PP unit is seeing the ice the PP already failed imo.

Leaky as hell. What is going on? They’re fun to watch, but that is a losing brand of hockey.

Lot of "kids" on the ice, mistakes are going to happen, and they are going to get out muscled on plays because they don't have those man muscles yet.

They've split out the PP shots (splitting Tage and VO), perhaps to spread out the threats. But Krebs/Mitts aren't owning the puck and distributing yet. I think only one of Krebs/Mitts stays on the wing within a few weeks if this continues.

YEa I don't agree, you only get so many Power Plays a game and the teams that win make them count.

Not putting Tage and Olofsson on the same unit is a mistake.

If you score on the 1st PP unit then the PP ends and the 2nd unit never needs to see the ice... This spread the talent out strategy = bad.

[GDT: Panthers @ Sabres 10/15/2022, 1pm, MSG, ESPN+, BSFL, WGR]

JJ is looking to be a STAR in the NHL, his playmaking IQ and vision is INSANE!!!

[GDT: Panthers @ Sabres 10/15/2022, 1pm, MSG, ESPN+, BSFL, WGR]

I don't like these powerplay units at all bro... Okposo and Krebs on the 1st PP unit, why are you not putting Tage in there so we got two threats on each side, one from Olofsson and one from Tage?

 

This is the first bad coaching decision I have seen Granato make that stands out quite a bit, Our PP has been CRAP and he continues with trying to spread the talent out between 2 different powerplay units.

[GDT: Panthers @ Sabres 10/15/2022, 1pm, MSG, ESPN+, BSFL, WGR]

Need our "1st" line to step up and do something one of these games... over 20 million dollars in that line.

Comrie looking good so far.

[GDT: Panthers @ Sabres 10/15/2022, 1pm, MSG, ESPN+, BSFL, WGR]

Tuch is going to be a star in this league.

[GDT: Panthers @ Sabres 10/15/2022, 1pm, MSG, ESPN+, BSFL, WGR]

What was that shot cozens? Holy moly pewee level stuff.

 

Guy gets himself into great positions and is awesome everywhere else in the game of hockey, his shot is terrible.
