SHAAAUGHT!!! Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) With Hinny getting 3 apples last night, he is a lock for the game Saturday vs the Canucks. So which forward sits?

nfreeman Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 I don’t think they’ll mess with a winning lineup, so I think Quinn sits again. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 I think DG sits Quinn again based on two game winning streak. Not saying that is what I would do…what I believe he will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norcal Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 I think Quinn sits. His time will come. No reason to mess with the winning lineup yet and Krebs is workin his butt off all over the ice imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 I want to know if/when Lawrence Pilut gets his golden ticket to Vancouver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 Personally I would throw Quinn in for a game soon (Vancouver or Seattle). Not sure who to sit. He's sat through 2 big wins and he'll be super motivated. Just a hunch that he'll play well. But that being said I've noticed that Granato likes to keep a winning lineup in place (but perhaps a couple of injuries force the change). So maybe Seattle for Quinn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 I debated but picked Olofsson. If he wants to play that perimeter game he will continue not to score or be very useful. Also, Quinn can slot into his spot pretty easily on the LW. I would like to see Quinn get a chance to see if he can up his game and that is why I didn't pick Krebs either, they want him getting reps. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashsabre Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 I would keep the same lineup in Vancouver. If they lose then shake it up and put Quinn in for Seattle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Yup, Quinn. No reason to mess with a line-up that's winning. Do right by the team, first. The time has come, they've earned it. Priority should be team success not getting a young player reps (If they are not among your top 12). Quinn is good enough to play in the NHL but not on THIS team, right now - he should sit. In fact he should go to ROCH for now I think prob, no? Having to send down someone who actually, ACTUALLY could play on the team is a good-team signpost, and it's normal. There will be an injury or whatever soon and if he's playing well in ROCH he'll be right back up.

shrader Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 What, no Peterka option? Just kidding. I hate the thought of Quinn in the pressbox long term (ie. more than a game or two), but there really isn't much of a choice at this very moment. Also, I normally wouldn't want 2 forwards up there other than for these long road trips. But with our cap situation, I don't think Sheahan is at the point in his career where he needs ice time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAAAUGHT!!! Posted October 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) I’m also of the opinion we don’t want Quinn sitting in the press box too often this season. He should be motivated and would hopefully come in and give his line a boost like Hinny did when he got his chance. I picked Krebs over VO to sit for the simple fact Granato was super patient with VO last season with his wrist injury/slump and he eventually played his way out of it. Krebs on the other hand is giving an solid effort, but his decision making hasn’t been good. He could probably benefit the most from sitting a game or too.

kas23 Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 Picked Oloffson. The kids need to play and I think Olly needs some time to think about why he hasn’t registered a point since the opener. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) “Body of work” means it will take more than a poor game or 2 to seat anyone other than Peterka, Krebs, Quinn and Hinostroza. They are the “rookies” and the designated “13th forward” Quinn will play at least one of the next 2, probably because someone will be nursing a minor injury. If not, Krebs most likely to sit because he’s been outperformed by the other two. Edited October 21, 2022 by dudacek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEbriate Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 I don't see how you make a forward change after doubling up Calgary and realistically being a few inches from tripling up Calgary. Krebs is the weakest link right now, but he's playing center with two vets and their line is doing just fine. I'd rather have Girgs on the wing than take Krebs out for... Quinn on PP2, I guess? No need for a change for Vancouver. The VAN lineup change will be on defense and I really hope it's Boushh in for Joker if he can't go. I would say you can reintroduce Quinn during the homestand.

Fitz skated for him in Calgary for the day-to-day foot. I hope Lyubushkin is good enough to go --- Bryson, Fitz, Pilut is a top-end AHL lineup, but they're all #6 guys at this level.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 No changes to the winning lineup from last night except for Pilut in for the busted up face guy. Quinn will get his chance again soon enough. I expect Vancouver (0 - 5) to be on fire for their first home game. It will be another good test that the Sabres should pass. They have exceeded my expectations on this trip by beating Calgary. It would be a let down to lose the next two and it should only happen due to lack of effort. The Sabres have played well enough to win all 4 games they have played so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it's a tough call but see Olofsson as doing what's asked to do. He's been stronger this year thus far on the perimeter / wall. He's seeking out puck battles in both ends. I think that, along with PP2, is leading to lack of points. My whipping boy is Skinner the turnover machine, but I know it won't happen.

triumph_communes Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 At least another game for Quinn. But Oloffson is in the hot seat only getting the veteran benefit of the doubt right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
