Doohickie Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 So I watched sections of the Anaheim coverage. A big negative: When a team is on the power play they use that puck tracer in real time (most coverage just use that on a replay). The good: They had a lot of great things to say about Krebs and Cozens, saying that the standard coverage these days are to talk about Tage and Dahlin but that there are a lot of good players on the Sabres besides those two. They questioned several times whether the Sabres had a "shutdown mode" and it occurs to me that swapping Krebs for Thompson on their respective lines might be Donny Meatballs' attempt to produce a couple of "shutdown mode" lines as he did for most of the third. Krebs is still offensively talented and that line still skated hard; Krebs even scored a goal as "1C". Tage for his part tended to use his size on the forecheck and behind the net rather than dipsy-doodling to try to produce a goal. This could be a great development if the Sabres can develop a true "shutdown mode."

Doohickie Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 Ducks broadcaster about the Sabres:Â "They have enough talent in their lineup that they can outscore their mistakes." My comment (and probably already been said in this thread):Â Lyubushkin's best game as a Sabre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
