These deflections are no fun 

We need to challenge the shooter.

Tage Is really Happy Gilmore

[darksabre]

Thompson having a pretty good game all things considered.

[Norcal]

Tage let up for just a split second there or it's 3-2

[Carmel Corn]

Not much going on outside of the TT, Asplund and Skinner line.  So far R2 and Bjork not seeing much action at all and Hayden might was well not bothered dressing.

He’s getting the opportunities, he will start converting more in future, I hope 

[GASabresIUFAN]

Ovie is still 153 goals from Gretzky.

Wolanin with the turnover.....-2 for the night so far.  So much for that decision to sit Butcher.

Yes.  Butcher would have moved OV and stopped the tip-ins.  

[Doohicksie]

Iggy likes hockey.

That is the only line we have that generates anything. 

[SwampD]

I think Dahlin is getting it.

[Carmel Corn]

Well at least Bjork drew a penalty

[Pimlach]

Dunleavy - he just went minutes without naming the player with puck, on both sides.  If it was radio you would have been lost for a long time.

I thought he was vaccinated???

[Norcal]

Sabres forwards lose alot of puck battles along the walls in the defensive zone.

 

[DarthEbriate]

We're so slow and indecisive on the PP.

[rickshaw]

Not able to see game. Is Dylan Cozens in need of a trip to AHL to get some game time and confidence back?

No talent.

[Norcal]

When I watch other teams shoot the puck around the wall they retrieve it unmolested usually.

It seems like the Sabres are always contested on the walls.

He will be so excited if Ovi gets another goal

[bob_sauve28]

Cozens with a Okposo and Girgs, good 

[TheAud]

At the end of the day, the Capitals hockey players are a lot better than the Sabres hockey players. Hard to overcome that. 

[Doohicksie]

Good pressure on that last shift or two.

Maybe that's what Granato was talking to Cozens about... you're switching with Eakin, here's how you have to play on that line....

Send Cozens down.  Why put him through what we did to Mitts?  Let him play some winning hockey and regain his confidence.  This season is about development not regression.  Jankowski would be a fine replacement.

Cozens is ahead of where Mitts was in His Second Season

He had some of the of the Sabres Best Offensive Metrics prior to being saddled with Hinostroza and Caggiula.

Despite being saddled with those two He still is on a 37 point pace while playing third line minutes. 

See what happens once Mittlestadt and Olofsson are back in the lineup and Cozens has better line mates. 
 

Get Him qualified for the AHL Playoffs, have Him play in the the Final Weekend of the Olympic Break with the Amerks. 
 

Have Him shoot more 

Try Him with Okposo and Zemgus
