Sabres win this one by at least 4. Tampa can’t matchup effectively and the mismatches become apparent. Sabres confidence gets a boost and it creates a snowball effect of momentum. You are far from the only one that doesn't think that the sky is falling. The sky is falling crowd is more vocal. Just like in the days of yore with Team Stormcloud and Team Sunshine and Kittens. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there's more, but here's a few possibilities off the top of my head: 1. Move Krebs up to the Cozens line & move Jost to fourth line center?

I don't think the sky is falling because we are 0-2 either. If we win 5 in a row and get to 5-2 I still won't say we are a playoff team either. Points are points, every games counts, but we have a long season ahead of us and this roster looks like it will challenge for the 7th or 8th spot if the goaltending holds up. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move Jost in directly for VO to the Cozens line (either Cozens/Jost kicks out to wing) 3. I could even see them moving old man Okposo up there to the Cozens line and keeping Krebs/Jost both on the fourth line with one of them kicking out to wing. These all sound good. Option 3 is probably the least likely, but all 3 have VO sitting in the press box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 23 minutes ago, dudacek said: They wanted it too bad and were squeezing the sticks in game 1 and got thoroughly outplayed as a result. They played good enough to win in game 2 and didn’t. That’s the NHL. It happens. Your job is to limit how often. The fan base is allowed to overreact to a 2-game losing streak. The team is not. Yep. Didn't get to watch the Aisles game closely (watched it at a bar) but that seems to be pretty much the jist of it. Hoping that they keep Levi between the pipes tonight, he's had 2 days to rest up so he should be good to go. One of the downsides to playing such a spread out schedule in October is when you do lose a game you've got a while to stew over it. The upside is, you can play whatever goalie you want and he'll be ready to go. 5 minutes ago, Randall Flagg said: Big game! First time attending this year, bringing my dad.

CallawaySabres Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) Buffalo absolutely has to start winning games where Levi is starting. If they start 0-3 in the East before even seeing any back-to-backs, they are going to sink like a rock. Nobody has any idea what goalies not named Levi are going to do this year. Wake up and win at home please. Edited October 17, 2023 by CallawaySabres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I want Krebs to be a centre I like this. Krebs and Cozens have rarely played together as Sabres but Team Canada has had them joined at the hip since they were 15. There is a history of chemistry there. I need Peyton to be tenacious March 2023 Peyton, not revert to turnover-happy hope play February 2022 Peyton.

SabresBaltimore Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 We're going to win tonight because I didn't make the GDT. It's that simple. I probably won't get to watch it tonight though. So I'll likely try to avoid the results and watch the game in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnie would never humiliate a player like that. He wants them to go through a wall for him. Always gotta have a whipping boy. Clearly VO has been the issue.
