Mittelstadt, Olofsson and the 3rd and 4th Lines
Doohicksie replied to nfreeman's topic in The Aud Club
It seems to me that in some situations Mitts is confident and determined but in others he's less confident and therefore less determined to follow though. It's like when Tage gets the puck in the slot with a slightly out of position Dman, you know he's going to get a good scoring chance and he makes it happen. With Mitts he doesn't have the confidence to do that, so he's not as determined to try. I just see Casey give up on a puck too easily. Look at Tage. Look at Skinner. Look at Dahlin. Look at Cozens. When they go after a puck, failure just isn't an option... but if they do fail they don't give up on the play. They dog the other player until he eventually coughs it up. I totally think Casey has that same ability. I see it in flashes, just not consistently. I think it's 90% half mental. If he could get just a little further in terms of confidence I could see it cascading and Casey would rapidly improve. I think Olofsson is different. He does make plays here and there but he will never be a play driver. He's a finisher and a very good one. He's a Vanek, a Kotalik, a Satan. Float around, take the shot. I think he could be an asset but it would take the right linemates to make that work. He's worked okay at times on Tage's line but that line is too locked in to mess with it. Not sure what the answer is for Olofsson. Maybe Donny has some ideas. -

And don't forget who unleashed Tage by moving him back to center. It's mutual between them I'm sure. -
Are the Sabres out of the running for the playoffs?

For both lines, yes. I think Jost has an energy that's positively influencing Mitts and even Ollie a little. Krebs needs the training wheels of Okie and Gus to rehabilitate his game and I think it's working. -

Maybe tweet it to him. We here at Sabrespace are powerless. -

November 3, 2018, against the Ottawa Senators. I clearly remember this because one of my Bills Backers friends owns a dive bar, and he opened early to let Sabres fans watch the game (I believe it was a noon start here in Texas). We brought some munchies and stuff. Every time the Sabres scored we did a shot. I had to wait around a while after the game ended to sober up so I could drive home. -

Rick Tocchet was with you on the postgame on TNT. He basically said the top two lines are doing so well it might be time to accelerate the build. -

Oh, you mean the Sabres aren't pressing to score as much because they've got a huge lead? On the bench (scratch) -

I don't understand how Buffalo got the PK out of that. So was Tage when he played the wing. -

He's still a better winger than TNT. -
