dudacek Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Just saw the highlights, I'm pretty sure we had more 2 on 1s last night than during the entirety of last season. Didn't get to see the game? Was great fodder for the Bylsma bashers and the systems matter crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can really see how the defense is more active. They get going up ice right away. Very obvious change in style of play. Even saw the blooper pass up ice which i love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Didn't get to see the game? Was great fodder for the Bylsma bashers and the systems matter crowd. I saw the last 10 mins or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 So how many times did we dump it in when we obviously should have carried it in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 So how many times did we dump it in when we obviously should have carried it in? That's a great question. I wasn't counting, but it didn't seem like very many. We carried it in a lot and did it pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3putt Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 There were two times I recall one with Reinhart and the other with Okposo( ithink) where we replaced a gassed player during OZone cycle while maintaining and sustaining pressure on the shift.

Huckleberry Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 I kinda want to change the lines... Kane - ROR - Okposo Zemgus - Eichel - Pommers Zemgus - RoR - Okposo ? - Eichel - Pommers Kane - Reinhart - ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 I'll try to get a ten game sample size throughout this season if you guys want, to compare our transition numbers to last year. I'll probably skew towards games in the second half to give this team time to become itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakish Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Hmmm that's interesting, kinda wish I'd seen the game last night now. Curious why you think line matchups don't matter though I don't think all strategies work, and as Taro says, it could have been the work of Pittsburgh, but last year the Sabres 4th line was rarely on the ice against top lines, last year the Sabres were able to have either the Larsson line or the O'Reilly line on both Malkin and Crosby.

I'll probably skew towards games in the second half to give this team time to become itself.Start with game 3-13. Bet even that early we start seeing a massive shift Zemgus - RoR - Okposo ? - Eichel - Pommers Kane - Reinhart - ? Idk who goes with Eichel but Griffith with Reinhart.

Taro T Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 I don't think all strategies work, and as Taro says, it could have been the work of Pittsburgh, but last year the Sabres 4th line was rarely on the ice against top lines, last year the Sabres were able to have either the Larsson line or the O'Reilly line on both Malkin and Crosby. It probably was Sullivan dictating the matchups, but Housley was at least ok w/ them as he wasn't giving guys 15 second shifts to get back to whatever his preferred matchups were. Being able to have the 4th line out against Malkin and not spend 90 seconds in their own end is a huge improvement over last season. If that could hold thoughout the season, Housley will have some flexibility in dictating matchups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakish Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Why I'm not convinced Taro is that Pittsburgh doesn't have motivation to get Malkin against Larsson, I'm guessing they would love to have Malkin against Reinhart. My point here is that last night I was thinking that last years strategy was to get Larsson against the opponents best players, and play 4th against 4th. This year they may still want to get Larsson against the best players, and have Reinhart play against the other teams 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Looks like Housley really likes point shots. Also looks like Bogosian really likes Housley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Somebody on twitter said something to the effect that Housley has them doing pushups as punishment for missed shots in practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrico Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 WGR was reporting it was actually the players idea to enforce pushups when they missed or even passed up taking a shot too often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
