  1. Greenway came over from MN with a contract worth $9M for 3 years. If he expresses a desire to remain in Buffalo? $15M for 3 years.
  2. I’m okay with Dahlin evening the score with the hip check, his specialty. Not okay with his several haymakers after the score was settled. Bush league, immature, and unworthy of a Captain, imo. Save those for defending a teammate in a game, an act worthy of a Captain.
  3. At 27, just hitting his prime. UFA next year. Big. Strong. A versatile player. Seems to get Ruff’s system. If he has joined up to the Buffalo community and likes it here, sign him, Adams.
  4. Takes the pressure off Ruff and the team. Keep working hard. Keep winning.
  5. Love Krebs intensity. Plays hard. Gets back to the bench with a grin and gleam in his eye.
  6. Quinn has had two great chances and shoots wide both times.
  7. Sabres are careless shooters, it seems. Atrocious, actually. Interested in the opinion of current or former amateur or pro hockey players. Shooting a puck at a small target is a complex hand eye, high speed movement. Can a player’s shooting be improved with regular practice? I ask because as a lifelong golfer and single digit player years ago, know you can hit 100 balls on the range mindlessly every day and not improve accuracy. Improvement takes focused practice, feedback, and more focused practice. The same must be true of shooting a puck. Wrist shot or slap shot. Wraparounds. Backhands. Each require focused and repetitive practice. Is much time spent on individual shooting drills during each practice or is it left to the player to put in the time before or after team practice? It confounds me in pregame warmups to see many players mindlessly shoot pucks at the net with no apparent focus on a smaller target. Maybe Ruff needs to rebalance his offense/defense emphasis? idk.
