Sabres Prospects 2022-2023

[French Collection]

Winnipeg and Seattle at 0-0 after 53 minutes. Unusual for two high scoring teams.

There goes that. 1-0 Seattle on a deflection, which feels like the only way someone scores tonight.

I jinxed Winnipeg.

That's a nice penalty shot. Hauser's leg just wasn't extended quick enough. A two-goal cushion for the T-birds and with the way they play defense and how hot Milic is, that's going to be tough to overcome.

Savoie’s season is over. Seemed snakebitten tonight.

That Seattle Team is a machine. Announcer said it is the best junior team he has seen. Big, skilled and defensively a rock. I really liked #4, Hanzel. 19 year old rock solid dman that hasn’t been drafted. I will be shocked if they don’t win the Memorial Cup.

I wonder if Savoie is headed to Rochester next week.

The T-birds are beasts. Milic with the deserved tourney MVP.

Savoie had 27 points coming into the series. His stats vs. Seattle in the final:  5 games, 0-2-2, 23 shots, and -4

Both Milic and Hauser were great all season. Nice to see smaller goalies making a comeback.

Savoie had a ton of chances he just couldn’t get it to go.  What I was most encouraged about with Savoie was he doggedness to throw the body and physically engage and battle against a much bigger team.

Seattle were full marks for their WHL Championship.

Really good game  seemed Milic got into the heads of many of the ice , passed up a few chances for a shot

Savoie (and Benson too) seemed hell-bent on getting in one-on-one and deking him for something ice level and Milic wasn't having any of it. I don't know if Savoie got a single shot elevated in the final 3 games.

The Ice's final power play was clinic in T-bird defensive positioning and waiting for the perfect shot. It resulted in 0 shots on goal when trailing by one.

Too slow in my opinion and really doesn’t dominate 

I’ll be surprised if he’s in the organization next season

Here or somewhere else, the world needs career AHLers too.
