Norcal Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 I'm really liking Anderson's steady, under control style in net. He seems to be in good position on most shots and makes the saves look routine. More please. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheektorado Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 It is amazing that they are on top of the conference again. Huge test with the bruins coming on Friday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashsabre Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 Has the Jack Adams Award ever been awarded after 3 games?😀 This team had no centres, lost Mitts in Game 1 and hasn’t missed a beat. Tage has stepped up at centre and been a beast. The one guy that has really looked good is Asplund. Dahlin is starting to look like he is back on the trajectory of a 1 OA draft pick. I have no expectations for this season, just going to enjoy the ride. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it coming boys. Well done tonight. It looks tiring to me. Personally, I’d be searching for a keep 4 guys high and one forchecker type of situation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) I'm not sure whether I'm more surprised that this team has won three games or that it has only allowed four goals in them. But I'm definitely more optimistic than I was a week ago. I wonder if Jack wishes he were part of this. Oops--looks like @freesterbeat me to that last thought.

GASabresIUFAN Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Watching KO play under DG is further evidence what a terrible coach RK was and is. I know the competition hasn’t been the top of the league, but this team is playing with the freedom and want of last year’s team once DG took over with good goaltending. Honestly it’s a pleasure to watch. Solid goals by Thompson and Skinner around the net. Interesting stat tonight. Balance PT tonight among the forwards at 14-15 minutes except Asplund who played 18. Also balance with the D around 20 minutes except who Butcher 18 and Dahlin 16. Edited October 20, 2021 by GASabresIUFAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more the Sabres play like this, the lower Eichel's value becomes. Plus the "incompetent franchise" narrative gets tough to push. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granato looks great by comparison, but I think he's really good even without being compared to RK. You get a feeling about someone and he seems to have 'it'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klos1963 Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 Jack has his surgery, ready for the olympics, sabres are near the top of the standings and we add a healthy Eichel for the stretch run. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the new crew is great, that doesn't mean the group beforehand did a good job - they clearly, objectively didn't. They haven't managed to build a proper team - early signs are they might be now. But it doesn't erase the past.
