Honestly I think a lot of it is I don't know what a good defender should really look like. When's the last time the Sabres had one of those? Long before I was actually studying the game instead of just watching it, that's for sure. And other than the playoffs, I just don't have the time to watch other games that much. Maybe that will be my hockey resolution: watch Risto more closely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 11 minutes ago, WildCard said: I think eventually Risto settles in as a solid #2 pairing guy that can drive that pair, and Dahlin gets some other d-partner to play with. Maybe Pilut or Guhle or someone else I think that is about right for Risto. Not sure the long-term partner for the other Rasmus is here yet.

R_Dudley Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Upon further review the only thing that makes me a little uneasy about tonight's game are the changes to 2 out of 3 of our past games D - pairings. Yeah I agree its pretty cool to see Rasmus squared together however it does take sometime for tendencies and timing to work together . That with the also new Nelson Baloo combo is just 1 change too many for my liking when they had been playing well. We shall see what we shall see so hears to hoping Rasmus squared beats the power of Johnny Hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His wife had a baby which is why he missed the last game, Thompson had an assist as his replacement so he's probably getting a 2nd game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 I wonder what Jack has left in the tank for tonight. Played Saturday night, Sox won the Series Sunday night, Pats in town last night and there was a Halloween party in there somewhere where Jack was a Raisinet and kept agreeing to do those big leg kicks until Dahlin had to tell him people were thinking of the Rockettes.

woods-racer Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Watched the Calgary/Toronto game last night. Calgary played much better than I assumed given their standings in their division. It was a zero/zero game going into the third so there is a very good possibility that this is a low scoring affair. Should be a fun game. Calgary is fun to watch and should have some good scoring chances by both teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be nice if that rate jumped up a bit and they still put that many shots or more on net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is abysmally bad. This year they are currently tied for 22nd with 9.0sh%. The league average is... 9.85% and the league save % is 0.902% Basically we are doing okay but can be better.

Upgrading the bottom 6 with better skilled shooters will help. Larsson at 8.5% and Girgenson is 7.6% over the past 5 years. Rodrigues at 7%.
