Eakin cannot win a puck battle vs Crosby to save his ass

Not the first person to have that difficulty with Crosby.

After the whistle, Dahlin and Rust share a little shove, and Thompson, the Tager, wanders over and escorts Rust away. Tage is our muscle?

I'm liking Samuelsson thus far.

Pretty good 1st  period thus far.  I wish the pp could put more shots on net.  
 

I like seeing 54 get some ice.  Give him a taste, let him experience the next level, but limit his minutes.

The deliberateness of Dahlin's stickhandling, the poise, is simply orders of magnitude better now

The slick little move had made to draw that penalty was next level.

What verbiage will Ray choose to end the period? I'll go with "really good" period

My first impressions of Samuelson:  1. He needs to work on his skating for sure.  He takes a bit of time to get moving and get to where he should be.  2. He is not afraid to play a physical game, which is nice to see.

1st period, Samuelsson with Risto. I wonder if we maintain the lead into the 3rd, whether Bryson rejoins Risto to hold the lead, as Risto will log a lot of minutes.

Love the pairings so far but I think that makes sense for the later stages

Could be.  I think they need to limit Samuelsson’s minutes, but I do like him getting a taste of the NHL.

Yesterday after the game, the announcer talked about how hard the Sabres worked and  said “the Sabres are playing much  more like an NHL team”.    I think that was in reference to RK’s system.  It is a system that a poor team uses to keep the score close.  
 

Granato’s team is worth watching, even though they are outmanned on the talent side, they play like they think they can win.  Which is step one to actually winning.

He still does things a little too cutesy at inappropriate places and times on the ice.  First period he decided to go all Dahlin at the side of his own net.  The Sabres spent the next two minutes fighting off the Penguins in their own zone.

Bjork pretty quiet so far. New team excitement wearing off? 

He’s not going to dominate every game.  He’s a lot more Zemgus Girgensons than Jack Eichel.
