And Östlund and Greenway

Samuelsson should be benched, immediately.

What if we unplug the Sabres and plug them back in?

NSFW But a good representation of this game thus far

... wooo slow down. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Not sure I've ever had this view of him and truthfully don't recall ppl saying that about him either. Also and this isn't directed at you specifically, there's a lot of blame being shifted off Cozens on to Quinn and Benson. Benson, has actually played fairly well, Cozens converted nothing Benson created. Quinn has been bad but putting Zucker there won't help impo.

At this point, Cozens and Risto seem like two pees in the same pod... and I didn't like that pod the first time we had it.

Fine with it. I would demote Cozens to wing though, I am starting to agree with others that he isn't a center.

This was from the Athletic and it leads to my question, what do the Sabres do if Cozens is nothing more than a 15g, 25a +/-5pts type of player with below average metrics? How do they move forward and when do we look at UPL, Samuelsson, and the Cozens long contracts and point fingers at Adams for being to free wheeling with term and $$$?

Cozens is rapidly approaching Ristolainen.

Honestly, this is why I block you. Condescending. It would be like if Boston played a bad game and I was like "oh the Boston fan club around here has to FINALLLLY START TO ADMIT that they are in decline". There's just no need for the accusation or tone. Quinn has played like *****, he's a non factor on his line just like Cozens. That is actually why Benson is where he is, somewhat invisible because Benson's game is predicated on being smart, winning pucks, and getting them into prime scoring areas. His two teammates thus far don't go to the prime areas and can't score if they get there. Plays completely die when they hit Cozens stick, it is like watching Olofsson without the nice shot, puck hits their stick, they have no idea what to do next, they make the wrong play and that's that. Quinn I have seen a few signs of life but he needs to get his feet moving. He seems to be gliding hither and thither all caddywhompus like without a purpose. Just awful from Quinn, he needs to simplify his game and play more north south. Cozens inability to shoot is not surprising, Quinn's inability to play hockey to start the year is. I personally wish we had another center for this line because whatever this line is, does not work.

Let me tell you about Roger McQueen (6'5"), Michael Misa (6'1"), Porter Martone (6'3"), and Malcolm Spence (6'2") all forwards, all 185lbs to 200lbs and all with physical elements to their games. McQueen and Misa are a step ahead of the other two but man, if we draft top 5, we ain't getting an undersized non-physical forward in this draft.

If they lose tonight, Adams needs to replaced. Karmanos needs to immediately seek a trade for a real top 6 forward.

He can't because our dipshit gm paid upl a 5yr freaking contract like an idiot

@SDSplease bring back the confused emoji

So glad we trade Mitts so now we can't bench Cozens. Oh yea Cozens is an assistant captain. Incompetence from top down in this organization. Lol the UPL contract looks like other panic Adams contracts, stupid.

There it is.
