Seems like the height mismatch has something to do with this as well. Zadorov would have had to get down to a 3-pt stance to be at the same level as Kase 😉 Zadorov likes to use his body, but IMHO it didn't look like a deliberate intent to injure.

I was kind of hoping the coach would give each netminder a chance to play a game in the early round to see who's playing well vs. not. Kind of like what the US Women's team did in their first 3 games. May not happen as the men's teams are more evenly matched vs. the women's having just 2 dominant teams. Not sure otherwise how he'll get a look unless someone else falters.

1. Our top prospects helping Rochester achieve playoff success 2. Signing all of our NCAA prospects 3. Seeing Mittelstadt back in the lineup and showing signs of growth and improvement to set the stage for next season 4. Seeing more from Asplund, Olofsson and Bjork.....they have underperformed in my opinion 5. Maximizing the return for our UFA's at the deadline

My only struggle with comparing Rosen to Olofsson is the fact that Victor was a 7th rounder who has developed and achieved some success not typical of most 7th rounders. Rosen was selected in the mid range 1st round and therefore I have higher expectations of any player selected that high. It's way too early as most here agree, but I am hoping this pick doesn't end up being another Alex Nylander type situation. On the other hand, if he develops into the next Alex DeBrincat, then I won't have any complaints.

Thanks...I don't know anything about him. How would you describe his general style....ex. offensive-minded, shut-down, etc.?

Not sure I envision the same comparisons. A more mature version of the young Sabres above may certainly have talent, but I feel like the team needs more players who can also play a physical style, especially for playoff hockey. Not saying "goons", but rather players who can contribute to the scoring but also win puck battles along the boards, neutralize defenders in front of our net, etc. Tampa's 3rd and 4th lines last year were significant.

As long as he doesn't shoot too quick

Fitzgerald with a strong follow-up to the net as well on that rush.

Is the big save of the game usually given to the other team? Maybe Dan picked it tonight...as he seems to be the Av's "bitch" tonight.

Looked like a missed high-stick that he took to his face near the blue line.

I've got mixed feelings on Victor....I think he's an RFA after this season. I haven't seen enough growth in his game this year to cause me to say he should be a big part of the Sabres' future plans, but I guess we still need shooters.

Dan's love for the Av's is really getting annoying!

Anybody see what happened to Mitts?

Well-deserved W tonight...onto a real test now with the Av's (less Mckinnon)

I'd like to clone him and have him on both!

Impressive....most impressive!

Great shift...skating circles around the yotes

So does Mrs. Anderson

Nice feed from Casey to Tuch for the one-timer...too bad it did not convert, but a nice looking setup on the PP

Just call him "Neo".....he is the one!

Not to mention the 1st rounder as well!

Some really beautiful, high-quality goals tonight...no garbage so far.

Are you actually there?

I like Krebs taking more shots!

Casey to Krebs!!!
