Eakin has been playing like a honeybadger.

He might not make a play every time but he's sticking his nose in there and muckin ***** up all over the ice. 

That was his game when he was playing well at Vegas

The 3 rd period was a combo of the Sabres being gassed and the Ducks aggressively trapping in the neutral zone.

They need Mitts back and to shift Cozens to RW. Cozens is struggling at C.

Their structure is so much better under Granato.  They don’t give up a ton of g,a ring opportunities even when they struggle.

As previously stated, this was the first game I watched in its entirety.  Did not like Cozens with Skinner and Vinnie Barbarino. To me it reeks of not putting one of your young core in a position to succeed. 
 

Also, did not care for the Tage at center project.  Didn’t seem to be any different than the Tage at wing project. 
 

That being said, it will be interesting to see how much gas Anderson has in the tank at 40?  He was very solid.

Tage has been playing very well at center. Don't let that game make your mind up. He has been progressing nicely.

Almost blew a 3-0 lead but got the win in OT which was nice to see. This team is interesting...they shouldn't be winning like this but they are...

Tage has been day and night better at centre. That was his first rough game of the season.

They need Mitts back and shift Cozens to RW.

Two lucky wins in a row. Shininess has worn off. Last place here we come. 
 

They looked gassed but they didn’t look like they were on their heels. That’s a big deal to me. 
 

Hinostroza looks like a defensive liability.

Two goals from a Swede, one from a Latvian and one from a Fin.  I remember when they called guys like that Eurotrash.

Maybe one xenophobic poster but I dont recall much more than that.

I'm sitting him and Bjork when Mitts and Eakin come back. (Did I just say I'm dressing Eakin? 🥶)

If Meatballs turns Cody “black hole” Eakin into a serviceable hockey player, they should rename the trophy.  Meatball coach of the year!

The only place I’ve ever heard day and night instead of the inverse is Kid Cudi.  I feel like it has a different meaning.

I stand corrected. Vinnie stays, Bjork and Hayden gone.

Nobody puts Hiney-Stroka in the corner!!

VO’s 5v5 Game has improved immensely under Granato 

True, but it should be noted he was 3rd on the team in even strength points his rookie year, under Ralph. 

VO has always been given a bit more of a "PP focused" designation than he deserves

Yeh but hard not to with that one time shot... difference is he is starting to create on his own and setting up others without getting knocked off the puck.  Noticeably stronger on his skates.

Just saw the highlights, is Zegras as much of a monster as he appeared in the highlights? He seems incredible.

His play didn’t turn into points for the Ducks, which is what ultimately matters in his case. However, he was all over the ice last night, in stark contrast to Cozens, who has had a painfully quiet start to the year.

They didn't show the blind passes, the dangles when he should have passed or the plays without the puck.

Those will disappear with experience. Amazing talent.

“You don’t play or execute well but you find a way to get two points, you can’t diminish that,” Granato said. “And I won’t.”

Nice comment from DG, but you know he can't be happy with the sloppy play.
