I think with tonight's game against the Wild, I see KA as having a secret weapon: Donny Meatballs. He takes the players he's got and molds them into the players he wants. Look what he did with the kid line. Yeah, they've cooled off lately but you can see what's there. Look at what he's done with Krebs. And now with tonight's game, I'm starting to think VO and Mitts are on the list of players that Donny has developed/rejuvenated. I don't know much about Lalonde's coaching style, but it seems to me that most coaches have a style of play and system they want their players to follow, and that they generally expect their players to get on board. Donny works with the players to get them to evolve into the players he wants, and also adjusts his system to put them in a position to succeed. I think a lot of coaches try to do the latter, but Donny really does work with players to make them better. It's the developmental mindset.

Can you imagine this happening in the Krueger locker room?

Lindy: "You have to win with the team you've got." Donny: "I will mold the team into what I want."

Same. The issue is I have to sit with @Spoonman 😄

Watching the MN postgame and their coach Dean Evason was mystified by the penalty call when Dahlin's helmet was ripped off. I think he needs to watch the replay. He also said that they knew coming in they couldn't win a "track meet" with the Sabres and he was right.++++++++++++

It was the best game for that line so far. I hope they can continue their progress. Donny really is a player whisperer.

Dan Dunleavy is the voice of a new era in Sabres history.

MAF: .838 UPL: .886 Not a great SV%, but UPL out-dueled a great goalie tonight.

Girgs, get it on goal!

*****.

Let's get a shortie and put this game to bed.

Weak penalty.

That was terrible defense on that opening shift.

Let me get you a towel.

Eichel who?

I thought it back then and I think it now: This campaign was bad, but in a weird, surreal way.
