Mittelstadt is a better hockey player right now than he was in April. He looks like a kid who had 30 in 34 in NCAA hockey one year after HS hockey, which was less than 2 years ago.


People remember Pronman ranking him high and not the fact that when he played center for 1.5 periods in April the Sabres could not register a single shot attempt while his line was on the ice until he was moved back to wing. The offseason praise plus Botterill assuming he's ready to be a 2C as part of the justification for the ROR trade made everyone forget what Casey actually currently is

I don't believe for a second Bots assumed that. He expects that from Berglund.

I've already addressed/rephrased that particular comment.

But your thought is equally horrifying.

Bots wanted ROR out. He made that happen while getting a placeholder until Casey is ready.

I know - Berglund is and should be viewed as a depth piece, though, and not a 2C. 

I agree that in general it's going to be a "by committee" job.

Players that has been solid tonight can be counted on 1 hand..  sigh

Eichel's line was good.  McCabe was good.  Nelson played well, though those 2 gave up a bad breakaway.  Bogosian looked good while he was playing.

Others like Dahlin & Wedgewood had more good than bad.  Rodrigues & Bailey were good except at the end of their shift on the 1st PK & the other PK.

Thought Berglund looked good relative to expectations except on his 2nd penalty.

I didn't realize we'd be playing the greatest goalie in the world today..

Looks like Dahlin has been playing on the right side in the 3rd. 

He moved there when Bogosian left.

They looked like the Sabres: no depth, not much fire, can't win face-offs without O'Reilly, no forecheck …

I honestly think the Sabres will finish dead last yet again this season (as we did three of the past five seasons). We were the lowest scoring team in the league last year and we lost two of our top four scorers. Unless someone unexpectedly emerges, we'll be a one line team (Jack and company). There just isn't any evidence that this group of kids and journeymen will magically "turn the corner" and start beating teams with proven talent.

For the most part, when we did have a shot on goal, Korpisalo stood on his head.

That penalty on Berglund was lame city.  What I saw on was a clean shoulder check to clear the jacket about to enter the crease.  What did you guys see?

That penalty on Kyle was more lame city.  He was playing the puck.  What did you guys see?
