John I would like to see both offensive and defensive zone fancy stats on 37-17-71 over the recent months. Going into the game Mitts was -14, VO -10, and Jost -7. They create and score, they also give up goals.

Looby was good. I think Tage was put there in the last 10 minutes to shake things up and shorten the bench Don’t really want Chychrun or Klingberg but either makes us better.

Yes, I’m patient with Quinn. He has talent and skill, just needs experience and more upper body strength. He will get there. Two rookies on a line with a 21 year old center is quite unusual but it works at times.

VO has to get an honorable mention.

Seems slower. They will never say. He was -2 today and had 1 assist. He played most of the 3rd with 21 and 28.

My 3stars 1 Krebs 2 Zegras 3 Looby (yes, 3 assists).

Luuuke bailed us. Another bad turnover.

22 failed to shoot again. Wonder what he is seeing? There was nothing there. 28-72-21 again. Tage on checking line.

Krebs score after a fight. Lol.

He is playing 89- 24-53, then 28-72-21

Change them Donny. You should not play 22 and 77 versus the Zegras line this late in the 3rd. Put out 21 and 28.

Quinn missed an opportunity to shoot. I don’t understand what else he was thinking it’s ok, 71 knew what do with it. Goalofsson again

I’ll give Krebs props for dropping them. The boys are in Black today Spooner, get away from that bottle.

Looby with a Dahlinesque pass

My point. I just don’t like the way they play in our zone. Not enough effort. I call it roller hockey defense, you can take a body in ice hockey. Ducks have one line. We have the final change. We ought to have a checking line to shut them down.

This is not a good thing

Really hated that period. We had a two goal lead and wasted it. Too loose in our defensive zone. Swatting at the puck, playing roller hockey defense with skating past the puck and not taking bodies. Playing to the level of their opponent once again. I expect a better 3rd period.

Krebs gets rewarded. He has been good since his sit down.

2-2. Duck getting the better play. Sabres d zone play not playoff worthy.

Another odd man rush on us.

Zegras is a thorn in our side. Again, poor defensive zone play.

I have been cringing about our defensive zone play. The reluctance to separate the puck from the body is a problem. They love to slap it around. Now get another one Sabres.

Too loosey goosey - giving up the puck too much. Not enough playing the body in our zone.

He will surpass him soon.
