matter2003 Posted October 14, 2019 Report Posted October 14, 2019 Whooped some ass...just as i suspected, this team had more talent than people thought they just needed a coach who knew how to use it and bring it out in them. 5 Quote
Gatorman0519 Posted October 14, 2019 Report Posted October 14, 2019 Nice win... I missed it... was at work Quote
triumph_communes Posted October 14, 2019 Report Posted October 14, 2019 Passing majorly improved from the first five games. Made a big difference tonight. We prey on weaker defenses and Dallas has one. Glad we can dominate these teams. Took a period to wear them down then the gates opened. Ive worried about Oloffson on 5v5 as a lot of cycle ends on his turn, but he made nice plays today. Even Sobotka had some good moments. No player looked bad today. Dahlin is only 19 ? Excited for this team. 2 Quote

It was the first time he got a primary assist off the rush. It was his first point of the year! The narrative is that Sobotka is not a good offensive player. You think he is? 1 Quote
nfreeman Posted October 14, 2019 Report Posted October 14, 2019 Did it look on one of the replays like Skinner tipped MoJo’s goal? Quote

millbank Posted October 14, 2019 Report Posted October 14, 2019 Risto again 23:43 minutes played . By far the most. Can’t complain with a perfect result. Is this just early season going with best at hand. Past evidence has shown such ice time played not sustainable over a season. Is this just short term or has something changed in his play? They show casing him? Just using what they have until healthy? I root for Risto to do well as a Sabre but see him as second pair used wisely not first pair. Is it possible he has coach who believes in him or coach just going short term with best he has ? Quote

He is ok defensively/positionally. He doesn’t make gaffes. But his offensive skills are pretty limited. He doesn’t contribute much on that end. 1 Quote

Is it possible he has coach who believes in him or coach just going short term with best he has ? It's that he's not what his numbers have said about him. We've had massive issues on defense and after the first handful of reasons - then you can look at Risto. Is he perfect? No, but he's a good player. He's tied for the 41st highest paid defenseman and at this point - is tremendous value. Defense, IMO, is the hardest position after goaltender to hide not having a good game. His issues get way over blown, IMO. 1 Quote
Tondas Posted October 14, 2019 Report Posted October 14, 2019 Seems like the Sabres attitude this year is: This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, This ain't no fooling around No time for dancing, or lovey dovey, I ain't got time for that now 1 2 1 Quote

He doesn’t contribute much on that end. Just because someone is bad doesn’t mean they cannot contribute in any way at any given time. Everyone here has seen him make them before. His contributions are inconsistent and unremarkable, but he makes them. 1 Quote
#freejame Posted October 14, 2019 Report Posted October 14, 2019 Watching the game now. Mitts looks very good. Olofsson’s goal was great. The power play looked lethal. Quote

But not confident he a first pair but second . Used wisely in places he can succeed better Great game by all wonderful really . Just pondering what is sustainable Quote
CallawaySabres Posted October 14, 2019 Report Posted October 14, 2019 Dare i say we have a coach that has his finger on the pulse of the goaltending?! 1 Quote
Stads Posted October 14, 2019 Report Posted October 14, 2019 What does it all mean? I don't know if I'm ready to fully open up my heart to this team. The pain of last year still lingers. They wouldn't do it again, right? Quote
Tondas Posted October 14, 2019 Report Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) Risto has been much better so far. My big complaint with him has been that he under utilizes his defense partner by reversing the puck or going side to side. He had the habit of trying to muscle it out or just fire it up the boards. I don't know why (RFK, Trade rumors, etc.) but he seems to be much calmer and using his partner and teammates much better this year. Edited October 14, 2019 by Tondas Quote

WildCard Posted October 14, 2019 Report Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) What's nice is, this time around, we're actually outplaying opponents, and we're getting contributions from more than just one line. Edited October 14, 2019 by WildCard 2 Quote
