dudacek Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 Good to see the Mule slide right in like he belongs. He showed Hagg's toughness and Pysyk's poise in the same package, which is a pretty nice combination to have. A defender who eliminates his man? It's been a long time. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for the AHL Playoffs, he's seen his last of the Flower City. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 I have been unable to watch Sabres hockey. Which gives me a sad. (h/t to @inkman for that phrasing.) I saw Harrington's headline about how Samuelsson logged a lot of minutes. Then I checked his raw Corsi for the game against the Senators. It was muy no bueno. I sense that I need context.

I'd argue he looks like he doesn't belong... for the better. Give him 10 games and if he starts looking like hot garbage, then that's when he belongs. 😇 On 1/19/2022 at 8:20 AM, dudacek said: A defender who eliminates his man? It's been a long time.

There is no reason to. He is more than ready. And provides something the roster is lacking. I haven’t felt this good about a defenseman prospect since Mike Ramsey. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 29 minutes ago, That Aud Smell said: Not sure what you are looking for. Samuelsson played well and Granato rewarded his playing by playing him a lot. By well, I mean that he consistently eliminated his man to blunt rushes and negate scoring chances and safely moved the puck out of trouble, using a rare (for the Sabres at least) mix of obvious physical strength and mental poise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not swooning over his GF/CorsiX x 60 Shot attempts were something like 24 against and 11 for while he was on the ice. That’s bad. But I’ve learned that raw Corsi is just a stat - in isolation, it is often misleading. @dudacek indicated above that Samuelsson very much passed the eye test - sounds good to me!
