Wow, back to back nice shifts! In this economy!?

Hey! A good shift and Power scores

They look like trash. Hot,stanky,trash.

Idk what you're arguing here. Mitts coasted back, I didn't like it.

Mitts was at center ice and just disconnected controller back. Tuch was bad too because he didn't front his man.

I've seen zombies skate harder than Buffalo is right now. Lots of puck watching.

Benson looks like Benson

Holy ***** does Mitts look bad on that replay, just coasting back

That was due to laziness

I see Benson's most likely outcome in this game as elevating the two linemates he has and considering I think highly already of Rousek's game, I bet this line produces tonight. Krebs is the wildcard IMPO. Can he do more than breakup plays and make some nice passes? Does he have a shot and a better understanding of time and space?

I think you are vastly overplaying what happened when we played more physical teams while also vastly underrated how effective the Sabres were in their last stretch of 12-15 games of playing a 2 way game. I saw very few of the important forwards fail to hold up to physical play. I did see guys like Olofsson wilt though. JJP and Quinn seemed to be just fine by the end of the season. Tuch never cared, Skinner loves it, Tage sometimes gets thrown off. Cozens is constantly developing his physicality. I don't worry about it much. Clifton and Big Johnson will be better on defense and more physical than Bryson.

I could be wrong, they could toss Benson out there with Rousek and Biro to see what he does.

Victor Olofsson has only ever scored above 20 goals once in his life. So I personally do not think it is reasonable to project to 25-30 goals unless as I said, his sh% stays artificially high (possible) or he ups the number of shots he takes (unlikely). His goals per 60mins was 1.6 last year, well up from his typical 1.1-1.2 g60 numbers that he had. The interesting part is well that may be true, his pts 60 plummeted. He went from 2.7 down to 2.2 pts/60. The reason for this is mainly tied to the fact he is not a particularly efficient passer or skater. So he is not leading a rush or manipulating a D to open a passing lane. He is a very straight forward player. But I've said all I can on the matter. Time will tell.
