  1. Sure, great. Now figure out how to do that without getting your ass kicked, Peyton.
  2. Agreed. I think the 8 game hiccup helped the team overall though.
  3. I agree, but I also think that having to go that deep into the depths of the depth on D gave some of these players valuable experience playing in Granato's system. What they weren't ready for in November, they were prepared for this month. I think all of the defensive depth is playing at least a little better than they originally did. And Clague might actually be, as you said, at least our 7D. deep into the depths of the depth on D deep into the depths of the depth on D deep into the depths of the depth on D deep into the depths of the depth on D!!!! Very good, class. You are dismissed. 😄
  4. Okay, tomorrow is the second game of a back to back. I suggest the following (are you paying attention, Donny?) Bring in the well rested forwards. Switch from this Skinner - Thompson - Tuch Peterka - Cozens - Quinn Mittelstadt - Jost - Olofsson Girgensons - Krebs - Okposo to this Skinner - Thompson - Tuch Peterka - Cozens - Quinn Asplund - Jost - Okposo Girgensons - Krebs - Hinostroza The idea is not putting two new guys with Jost, but spreading them around, with the goal of giving the bottom six some fresh legs. I don't think Donny will do it though; I expect him to ice the roster than won today.
  5. Memba? I mean the way the Sabres played at the end of the season last year was fantastic. Playoff pace. The only problem was they'd dug too deep of a hole for it to matter. They dug a hole again this year, but this year they found themselves much earlier in the season. The early injuries on D set them back but as they've gotten healthy they really are back to where they were late last season, and much earlier. If they keep this up, the playoffs are clearly attainable. They are currently 4 points out of the last WC spot with 3 games in hand. Win those three games and they are in the playoff mix. Looking at the January schedule I can see them getting 24 points for the month. The biggest unknown is seeing how they play with playoffs on the line. Last year they were playing for pride, now it's for playoff position. It's a different kind of pressure so it will be interesting to see how they handle it.
