Glad we got a point in a game we got out played in. Linus was good So what type of player does Jack want to be? If he's going to take extra shifts and play tired, then he has to move the puck faster. A quick pass takes far less energy than holding it to stickhandle it out. If he does not enjoy losing, then he has to at least lead by example and not take shifts, nor plays off.

jad1 Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 It'll be interesting to see the changes Krueger makes for Wednesday. Hopefully we won't see the Sobotka/Vessey penalty kill line ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they just showed the immediate aftermath of the Sabres scoring in overtime of a deciding third game at home against the Blues in 76. I have never seen a video clip or heard a sound clip of that goal. Don Luce scored. That was the Eddie Staniowski series. The Sabres almost got Parented for a second straight year. (Edit: it could also have been Game 2 at the Aud, also won in OT.) No, I was at it and even discussed the goal with Don Luce about 15 years ago. It was definitely game three which was the deciding game. Was high in the oranges basically looking down between my feet. The old Aud went crazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewookie1 Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Bad way to end but at least they played the whole game. Passes weren't as crisp as the first couple games but got better as the game went on to some degree. Ice sucked in the 1st, the puck died in empty space multiple times. They are bigger thus our players had more trouble playing against their forecheck. Eichel needed to shoot not pass in the OT. He tried to sucker Foligno in during OT but Risto had already left and in that split second Foligno took advantage of Eichel's lack of an easy out. Goaloffsson is just a great asset. Johansson is as well. Mitts was nigh-invisable except making one great D play in the 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 I saw a bit of the wrong kind of confidence today - not confidence in themselves, which is important (and there), but confidence that they'd be able to pass CBJ into a tizzy.

... Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Ullmark gave them enough goalie-ing to win. At leazt they got a point, but it was a sloppy outing all around. Eichel, like others have noted, was too...Eichel all night. The entire team really lacked the mojo of the first two games. So is this normal? Is this what they are and the first two games were outliers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Just now, Andrew Amerk said: Sobotka was mostly useless tonight. Hopefully RK sees it now and sits him. Sobotka was mostly innocuous tonight. But, on a shift that could have turned the game in to the Sabres favor he couldn't make a play at either end. Johansson did a great job rushing the puck up the ice deep into the corner, Korpisalo (sp?) got caught out of the net, the pass was made to Sobotka in front and his stick was totally taken away. (For he 2nd game in a row, he was on the edge of the crease with a loose puck and no prayer of getting his stick free.). Going back the other direction, he could've chipped the puck out of the zone the 2nd last time it ended up with his point man before Dahlin took the penalty. 2 goal swing while 4 points were still on the line. Nothing terribly wrong, but being able to be even average at either end on that shift and the game could've been significantly different even with how it went the rest of the night.

CallawaySabres Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Didn't see one second tonight but heard tying goal at the end. They need Eichel to be as much of a captain as Krueger is a coach. Back to see the boys on Wednesday so hopefully just a blip. Winless teams are going to come out flying so hopefully that was the case tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly why I’d like to see ERod in that spot instead. Is he “2nd line” material (RK ‘doesn’t number’ his lines)...maybe not, but I think he’s a well-rounded player who can play both sides of the puck adeptly. He could be a much better complement to what MoJo and Skins are doing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
