    I was not angry writing the post, do you have empathic power?   I  just prefer not listening to that pod cast with those two dropping f-bombs and spreading rumors. 

    Sabres could use a guy or two who say F this on the ice once in a while 

    Get angry and get even 

    It's too bad Eichel for Tkachuk fell through, or was a non story

    First, what are you angry about? 

    Second, why do you like it before you even see the trade?  Sure, Mitts is tradeable if you can make a deal to improve the team.  I want to see the trade before I decide I like it.  

    Third, What exactly is Adams banking on?  He rushed to pay Muel (after 54 NHL games), then rushed to sign Cozens when he had time (literally causing Cozens to become a head case), then he rushed to sign Power who not surprisingly is struggling in his sophomore season.  

    Is Kevyn all of a sudden learning on the job?   

    What about his neglect of the goaltending in the off season, our PLAYOFF off season?  UPL is emerging, we are almost eliminated from the playoffs and now all of a sudden he needs a better goalie? 

    Adams is confusing me with his logic, but I can't wait to see him make a trade of substance (not counting trading the very good players that wanted to leave).  

     

     

    1. I gave you the angry emoji because you were angry writing that post 

    2. I like trades, they are exciting 

    3. You answered your own question at the end 

    I don't see how Adams' logic is confusing. You may not like it, but its not the least bit confusing to me

    I had said that earlier just by the eye test. Good to see data back that up. It was not as dominating and one sided as many are saying. 

    It absolutely was dominated by the Sabres, at least to me. 

    These guys have proven time and time again that they can skate circles around the opponent but they have to go for the highlight reel top shelf fancy goal. 

    I'm sick of seeing Power and Dahlin make an extra stick handle, then looking exactly where they're going to shoot (high always) thus allowing the goalie an extra second to prepare his stance. That's the problem. Fancy or nothin 

    Which is extremely coachable to me. How has Granato not yanked Power by the ear and said stop over thinking every single aspect? And if he has, and the team does not listen, it's STILL Granatos fault. 

    How he's still the coach is beyond my comprehension. 

    Along with all the other assistant idiots

    I don't think it's physicality as much as persistence.  You don't have to flatten the other guy, you just need to disrupt him enough to separate him from the puck.  Too often the Sabres at both end of the rink do quick fly-by's and try to poke the puck away, but if not successful they just skate on by.  No.  They need to persistently pursue the puck carrier and bully him into giving it away.  That can have a physical aspect to it, but it can also just be chasing/blocking/hurrying the puck carrier until he makes a mistake.  There can be several aspects to persistence... tools in the toolbox... including physicality but also speed, active sticks, and positioning.  I mean Benson is as good at this stuff as anyone and he's hardly an imposing physical presence.

    Be relentless

    Except there won't be without some moves or signings. The guys in the system might have talent, but they are either not ready or do not fill the holes on the roster we have. Next year will be the same again without some big changes. 

    Ya, I was being sarcastic because that's been the common theme for 12 stinkin' years. 

    I agree about big changes. It needs to be done, or this will go on for another 12 years

  15. Is Alex Tuch Injured?

    I was in a hurry when I was adding his stats and used his current points for this seasons.  He’s a 60ish point player, on average, with the Sabres. 

    I get what you're saying. 

    I compare Thompson, Skinner and Tuch to 07-08 Pominville and Roy. 

    Both Roy and Pominville had career years the very next year minus Drury and Briere. 

    Roy 32 G 49 A 81 points 

    Pominville 27 G 53 A 80 points 

    Both were good, solid players after that year for a number of years but they did not reach those heights again. 

    That's what I forsee for the current 1st line. Good, solid players but won't put up what they did last year, probably ever again.

    Is Donnie gonna give him those limited minutes with skilled offensive line mates or scrubs? And if he does give him higher skilled line mates, are those guys also seeing limited minutes as a result? 

    I don't know what Granato is going to do. I can guess based off prior call-ups. 

    What I would do, if I was Granato, and I did indeed call up Kulich, I'd put him right where Jack Quinn was. Same line. 

    That Savoie call up was pointless. Three minutes total, waste of time

    I hate to say it, but given what I’ve seen of Kulich so far in the A, his D game makes VO look like a Selke contender. He’s just not close to being ready for the show, imo. 

    He's only one guy. And he probably won't get as many minutes according to how Granato inserts new guys. His defensive "liabilities" shouldnt be that much of a hindrance. 

    Side question, if not Kulich, then who do you call up? 

    If this Kulich guy has big time offensive chops, call him up. Go for broke. Safe should be out the window. The Sabres need to win right now 

    Or

    Make a TRADE

    Well they beat the toothless Sharks, as they should, but I do not think there was anything there that makes you think they will move out of what I would call the third tier of the nhl (teams that are better than bottom feeders/tankers but not good enough to make the playoffs). 

    Tuch, Greenway, Mitts played the game like a proper NHL line. 

    Cozens, Quinn, Peterka, had solid moments and were rewarded,

    The top (?) line was garbage. 

    and Bryson? lol, why is he here? just WHY?

    This guy is always a downer I love it

    Lots of good things about this win. 

    Got down 2-0, scored 5 unanswered. Neither goal was UPL's fault, and he made countless critical saves. 

    Tons of hitting and making the smart play. Greenway is earning his money along with Clifton. It's okay to take a penalty once in a while when standing up for yourself/teammates. 

    Cozens line has been excellent, hope Quinn is okay. 

    It is San Jose, which made things easier, but this is how they should ALWAYS play. Tough, nasty and with perservance. 

    Now, if Granato could just get the big guys going. Hopefully he uses this long break wisely, along with the rest of the team. Come back and win 8 more in a row
