DarthEbriate Posted January 10, 2021 Report Posted January 10, 2021 Well-placed "Whom" by Rob Ray in the play-by-play. Impressive. And a good little tap/feed to Rieder for the equalizer. Hall too easy. Quote
SABRES 0311 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Posted January 10, 2021 Hall Jack Tage getting it done. Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Posted January 10, 2021 That was a sweet goal! Keep Tage on this line 1 Quote
erickompositör72 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Posted January 10, 2021 So we have our #1 line? Quote
DarthEbriate Posted January 10, 2021 Report Posted January 10, 2021 Haaaa! Rob! Love it. He's on fire using his assets. 1 Quote
Zamboni Posted January 10, 2021 Report Posted January 10, 2021 I’m excited as the rest of you, but is there really anything definitively, without question, gleaned from scrimmages where most players aren’t playing anywhere near 100% effort against team mates who aren’t playing anywhere near 100% effort? 😂 I just view scrimmages as pure friendly competition. Nothing more. I mean yea, the “bubble” players and rookies are probably putting in 100%. But not too many beyond that. 1 Quote

No preseason leaves scrimmage play the best chance to see how lines work together. 3 Quote

Nothing more. I mean yea, the “bubble” players and rookies are probably putting in 100%. But not too many beyond that. I'm looking for any signs of chemistry, and D pairings, how the power play might align, things like that. Seeing how aggressive the guys who are on the bubble are. But the outcome and such, no, nothing to be worried about or learned. Quote
SABRES 0311 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Posted January 10, 2021 That last Blue O-Zone possession Tage did a good job finding an open spot in the slot after Hall’s net drive. Quote

Pretty sure the only position to be finalized on the D is determining if Miller holds that 3LD spot. He's looked comfortable w/ Jokiharju in this 1st stanza. 1 minute ago, dudacek said: This Hall guy ain’t bad. Watching tape to tape boards to boards passing from him and Eichel is fun. Quote

dudacek Posted January 10, 2021 Report Posted January 10, 2021 Quinn has shown more offence in this game than he did in the World Juniors. 2 Quote
dudacek Posted January 10, 2021 Report Posted January 10, 2021 Risto caught Hall there. Not something you’re going to see often. Quote
dudacek Posted January 10, 2021 Report Posted January 10, 2021 Samuelsson just looks solid again. 1 Quote
I-90 W Posted January 10, 2021 Report Posted January 10, 2021 This scrimmage has me thinking, imagine how sweet it would be if the Sabres could stream all their games like this? 1 Quote
DarthEbriate Posted January 10, 2021 Report Posted January 10, 2021 Borgen had a bad o zone turnover, but played it well to break up the extra pass. Quote

Didn't expect he'd look like he belongs here after his WJC (not saying he was bad, but an 18 yo that was playing a defensively responsible game w/ very little O against 19 yo's didn't scream out that he'd be OK against pros IMHO) but he has been alright.

dudacek Posted January 10, 2021 Report Posted January 10, 2021 Toby Rieder has looked like a hockey player both games. Good jump. 1 Quote
