Thorny Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 11 minutes ago, Taro T said: Though he gave up 4 goals, thought UPL actually played pretty well. Maybe he could've had the 2nd goal, but Jokiharju left Oshie completely open at the side. Not sure how Oshie got so open. UPL should've let Joker know he was there, but he didn't. Still not sure who that play was on. But thought that UPL got a little lucky early; Oshie rarely shoots wide and UPL was deep in the net on that 1st odd man rush against and then Ovie shot it more or less into him on the 1st real shot on net. That got UPL's head into it. (Still want an upgrade, but did believe that Ukka Pukka Dukka had a pretty good game.) That drop pass to Power who was going off on a line change. Yikes! A buddy of mine has a saying "one ooops wipes out 100 attaboys." Mittelstadt has to be more aware of the situation there. That said, when Tuch is back, assuming no other F's are brought in, would really like to see Cozens center Mitts and Quinn. Expect the 3 could have really good chemistry together. To keep from making the Krebs line a disaster at that point would give Hinostroza the nod over Peterka in that case. Back in the playoffs (for at least now). Hopefully the Jets and Bolts win in regulation and they Sabres will still be in a playoff spot at the end of the day. (Jets win won't affect whether they're in but how close they are to 7th.) There’s more open space in this post than a UPL-tended net 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashsabre Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 Hinny getting called up while Asplund still sits in the press box pretty much seals Asplund’s fate here. Cozens needs a playmaker on his wing. I would like to see Mitts and him together. Hinny’s Speed complimented them well today. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense. One gets to play with the greatest goal scoring talent this generation has ever seen, and the other gets to play with Connor McDavid. not bad for goal support Edited February 26, 2023 by Thorny 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I do. Mainly because there aren't that many soft goals he's given up. (SabreSpace definition of soft goal: A goal.) Today's menu: 1) Player left open 2) Rebound after a turnover 3) This was actually a set play. Deliberately high and wind with Ovi parked for the bounce of the wall. Anderson would have stopped that because he would have seen the set up a mile away. 4) Gift wrap breakaway. 8 minutes ago, K-9 said: Nope.

Quint Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 35 minutes ago, RochesterExpat said: Dan's biggest issue is that he's following RJ and those shoes are going to be tough to fill for anyone. My opinion of him changed when I started listening to other games on SiriusXM and realized just how awful other play callers are. I was driving with my buddy listening to the Penguins broadcast and we started making jokes about how we had no idea what was going on. I started paying attention a lot more after that. Dan's better-than-average by quite a bit. I was watching the Anaheim feed of the Sabres game recently and their own announcer was pronouncing Lorentz's name "Lawrence." Now we've seen Lorentz's grandfather Jimmy play here for many years...When your own announcer doesn't know how to pronounce players on their own team, it seems they don't really care...
