SabresBillsFan Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 All I can say is Thank God Taylor Hall is gone. Guy is washed up! Bjork actually looks pretty solid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does the bare minimum and is rather dull. He kind of blends into the background. I often find Ray annoying though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on RK to a large extent but the better they play, the more I start to think there's no way Ralph could have been SO bad as to hold THIS much back. I think he was actively bad, yet we need to flat out attribute some of this to growth from the younger players. You know, that thing we always theorize we might see as the year winds down, but are actually seeing this time. My gut says Ralph would have seen a bit of an upswing right now, himself, even. (I definitely think Granato is a better coach, too) Edited April 16, 2021 by Thorny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure wish we didn't have Tokarski in net, tho Entering the third period the team is playing well in front of him and he seems to being playing with confidence.

They are getting better. Isn't that what's supposed to happen, even if you have a good coach? It's both - Krueger was bad and he had a drastic effect on their play but we are seeing improvement even compared to the minutes they did play 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I definitely think Granato is a better coach, too) I disagree. He'd still be requiring the players to stay above the puck. You wouldn't see most these goals resulting from rushes. Even during the intermission interview Mitts alluded to usually just dumping the puck deep in that situation but he shot instead. You KNOW it's not Granato telling him to just dump the puck in on a chance like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
