Believer Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Granato lit a fire under them after the second period… Much more assertive… Checked into the boards… Went to the net… Excellent response from the players… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't calling out Kevin, specifically. I get that VO is Sabres' twitter "bad guy" right now but as with Sabres twitter, always, it's dog with a bone when it comes to narratives. VO can't just be struggling in certain areas he needs to be OMGDAWORSTGUY look at da analytics. He's also scoring a lot. That helps you win. There isn't a player we can put in that's in system who's going to do a better job, if we benched VO. Benched our leading/one of our leading goal scorers. I'm not so opposed to a VO trade in theory as the idea we need to liquidate him for picks because of the youth we have coming. Is that not your argument? It's twitters, and that's what we're doing here apparently 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 only seen the 3rd period myself though, but start of 3rd we didn't have much high danger scoring chances. Glad they decided to go more to the net in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 All I know is looking at the east, its a close start of season, everything is grouped nicely together and we are in the thick of it. The difference between us and last place is only 4 points, going to be a rough season and battle this one. Also ***** boston 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does the ref justify that call? Whenever they don't call something, we always hear, he just didn't see it. Fine. On that play, he called something that literally didn't happen. As it turned out, though, it ended up being the play of the game for the Sabres because it actually got them to ***** play.

PerreaultForever Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Chicago is a very low skill team but they went to the dirty areas with effort and for 2 periods this looked like it would be a disaster. Third period we finally asserted a little physicality and we went to the paint and Thompson played the way I've wanted him to play all along. Use that body, use that size, GO TO THE NET and not just float around the outside looking for snap shots. We need to play like this for 60 minutes. Hopefully the end result drives this home to them and we see that kind of effort we saw in the 3rd all the time. This could have been a disaster and maybe even the return of soft loser identity but as it went, maybe it'll be the true realization for them of what it takes to win in this league. Fingers crossed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree… If we could get another proven physical defender 28 or younger like Lyubushkin and a mucker forward the same age who knows how to hang around the crease and score… it would be a decent exchange… Would even throw in Bryson or Pilot… Time for KA to do that part of his GM job… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
