He saved it to 1-0 where it could have been 5-0. No offense and defense have up a lot of scoring opportunities. On the bright side Linus seems to be developing into a solid #1.

Yup, word's getting out, be physical and the Sabres will respond with nothing in either the hits or goals department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played fluffy and lost because of it. Sure, right after you explain how we beat a physical team like Columbus the night before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Idk what the final was but after 2 periods we were out hitting Dallas 22 to 19. So... Just now, SwampD said: By playing Scandella instead of Pilut. Try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 I thought Dallas pretty soundly outplayed the Sabres last night. The Sabres generated very little offense, while Dallas had about 8-10 excellent scoring chances. Ullmark kept them in it. I wasn't so much hung up on the physical play, as I thought the Sabres did OK in that department, although I would've liked to have seen someone make Dallas pay for the Benn hit on Eichel. Speaking of Eichel, I really don't think he's been close to his pre-injury peak since he returned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he wasn't worse it justifies him being in over Pilut? So your theory is a player with basically no impact in a game was a reason we won that game?

I still think he played a decent game last night and looked better than what Pilut would have looked like. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Your theory is that Scandella helped us win a game he was bad in and that's why we lost a game he played and was decent in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You misunderstood. Pilut was -4 in the Van game. Maybe if Pilut played in the BJs game, his line would have been -4 not -1 like Scandella was.

I thought Scandy was fine last night. His minus-1 was attributable to Bogo, who committed an awful turnover that ended up in the Sabres' net. Also, Scandy was the Sabre who came closest to scoring a goal last night! I think swapping Pilut in for Scandy last night would've had zero impact.
