Give him a solid week off. THAT would have made sense. This just feels like fly by night seat of my pants management. I understand easing him into the schedule and letting him get his legs under him but does this look any thing like that? Maybe he wanted him to have a good game before sitting so he didn’t end up mulling during his time off. It’s not like this wasn’t the plan all along. I’ll be glad to see Mittelstadt play too. Hopefully some of these guys can force us into hard decisions. Quote

And I would be happy. I think you're wrong anyway. 😁 I'd love to see Casey have a hat trick, but I'll settle for a pt (goal or asst) and looking like he belongs. If he scores a hat trick people will here will be wondering why he didn't start the season in the top 6. Quote

Taro T Posted January 24, 2021 Report Posted January 24, 2021 So, Ullmark gets the W in his 100th & Mittelstadt pots the winner with Okposo finally taking his locked in place on Eakin's shoulder. Will be a good start to the day. 😉 And the plan is to watch the pregame as soon as the BHawks game is over & then watch the Sabres with the NFC game going on during intermission. (Buce (?) Suter w/ a hat trick against Bernier for his 1st 3 NHL goals in his 6th NHL game.) Too bad the Bandits weren't playing. Would've been sweet catching Buffalo going 3-0. 😉 1 Quote

I speculated that Asplund played over Casey because it was part of the defensive forwards, and that seems to be the case as Casey is in as an offensive forward. I hope he has a good game. 1 Quote
SABRES 0311 Posted January 24, 2021 Report Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) I see Mitts on the second line and Skinner still on the fourth line. Shake my head and move on with my life because that’s all I can do at this point. Edited January 24, 2021 by SABRES 0311 1 Quote

It's "Skinner just needs one goal and the floodgates will open" yet when I post that 1 Cozens goal could be a launch pad for him that I'd like to capitalize on immediately, it's not only no longer applicable logic, it's "complaining". You are an excellent poster, but this sauce is very weak indeed. The alleged inconsistency between the Skinner and Cozens narratives doesn't exist unless you demonstrate that THE SAME POSTERS are saying one thing about Skinner and a different thing about Cozens. This "people are saying different things" pabulum doesn't mean anything. Quote
jsb Posted January 24, 2021 Author Report Posted January 24, 2021 You ask, Brawndo delivers, he's freaking awesome He deserves his atta boy points as opposed to @Thorny, how does that guy get any 😀😀😀 1 Quote

Absolutely Asplund was in for his defensive play. Thompson had better hope most of the people here are right about Mittelstadt or he could go quite a few games in the pressbox / taxi squad. If Mittts is OK, Tage will have played himself behind him and Cozens w/ only 1 spot available for them unless he's willing to sit either Lazar or Sheahan & then he's still odd man out. Quote

triumph_communes Posted January 24, 2021 Report Posted January 24, 2021 I think Okposo is going to be a pleasant surprise. Quote
MODO Hockey Posted January 24, 2021 Report Posted January 24, 2021 How on earth does Mitts end up on 2nd line .. like what in the actuall **** is wrong with this coach. 1 Quote

If you watch Skinner after he misses a shot that he use to make he can see how much he is pressing. He is a traumatized player. Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted January 24, 2021 Report Posted January 24, 2021 I hate defend RK, but I understand why Mitts is with Staal and Skinner with Sheahan and Lazar. It's actually pretty simple. We have 11 goals by forward ytd and 8 5 on 5. The line of Sheahan Lazar and Skinner have 3 of those 8 even strength goals. Why break up something that has been somewhat effective? Quote
Stoner Posted January 24, 2021 Report Posted January 24, 2021 The Sabres are really trying again. Quote
MODO Hockey Posted January 24, 2021 Report Posted January 24, 2021 get ppl infront of the NET PLS Quote
Stoner Posted January 24, 2021 Report Posted January 24, 2021 See, that shot by Sam needs to go in. No bad luck involved. Quote
