Taro T Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 17 minutes ago, RochesterExpat said: From the outside looking in, I will say I think Granato made a mistake with his handling/allocating the preseason games. The Sabres gave too many games to rookies and too few games getting the top lines together. The organization is too far along in the rebuild to give this much ice time to evaluating rookies. It is what it is. I think it's far worse of an issue in the NFL than it is in the NHL, but it's still something they should keep in mind for next offseason. One thing to keep in mind is that the 2 coaching staffs and front offices bounce a lot of ideas off each other. Wonder how much the NFL playing starters an absolute minimum in the preseason due to injury concerns was a factor in the roster setups through the 7 exhibition games? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumph_communes Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) As much as I rail on the coach he made literally the exact line change I suggested last week. Now I might have to eat crow if it doesn’t look good. Why did you do this to me Granato? See, I still can blame Granato no matter the outcome I used to bag on Krebs a lot but I think towards the end of last year it finally clicked for him.

French Collection Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 Nowhere to go but up with Cozens. Krebs will energize that line tonight. I spent a total of 15 minutes in my truck today and heard Whitehorse twice on the radio. Fans will hear it in the rink tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that might lead him to actually believe that Tuch Icewalker and Princess Levi (as the trade-spawn of Jackikin Eichwalker and Reino Samidala) are going to lead the Sabres Rebellion to victory over the Stanley Cup... but that's just a weird and oddly coincidental movie-team wish fulfillment of my imagination. That's not how The Concept Of works. It's not going to happen just because it's written in the script. They've still got to play the games. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerreaultForever Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 3 hours ago, Brawndo said: No Stamkos tonight, still day to day with an injury I watched them play Ottawa and their offense is struggling more compared to previous years. This is a perfect moment to beat them but the danger is they are playing a harder shut down game and they still have a number of guys who go right to the front and go for the dirty goals. If we let that happen, we will be in trouble. I disagree with the sentiment that 3 losses to start is okay. This game to me is pivotal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have added that they could send down an exempt player Levi. If they want to get creative you activate Savoie for the 2nd game of the 4 game home stand, send down Levi for games 2&3 and bring him back for game 4. This way you see Comrie and UPL in games 2 & 3 as well as Savoie and Benson together in the lineup for 2 games. This isn’t what they are going to do, but it would be interesting to see.

He plays like he’s 6’3” 230. Being that he’s 4 inches shorter and 50 lbs lighter, I wonder how long his body will hold up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I still can blame Granato no matter the outcome I used to bag on Krebs a lot but I think towards the end of last year it finally clicked for him. I'm the same way with Krebs. Last year the first few weeks of the season I thought he was probably the worst forward in all of the NHL. I still don't think he's great or bound to be a star, but he turned his play around by the end of the year and now looks like at least a legit NHL forward. 12 minutes ago, DarthEbriate said: Huh.

Many of us has expressed frustration in the other thread about Spectrum/MSG/MSG plus....but again it deserves repeating just how bad the NHL is with making their games available to their fans.

SABRES 0311 Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 Not to be negative but if this one goes south I think a more aggressive change to the line combinations needs to happen. I’m fully aware it’s only the third game but they’ve been out scored by almost three times as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been doing that for years in Boston he can do it here too. The problem is expecting TOO MUCH from him. He's not a top pairing guy and he does have the tendency to roam a little too much. On Boston he got away with it. Not sure he can here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
