That's a fallacy. If you flip a coin 10 times and it comes up heads each time, is it any more likely that tails is "due"? Of course not. If anything, there is a reason why heads is favored (like maybe it's a two-headed coin) and if anything, the trend is likely to continue. Or in this case (the way I look at it) the records of the teams to date are indicative of the teams they are. 1 Quote

Embrace the underdog role. Lots of available real estate. Colder than Texas though. When they stop being underdogs they will be under more pressure from fans, media etc…. They seem to be maturing the right way. 1 Quote

DarthEbriate Posted October 22, 2022 Report Posted October 22, 2022 Quinn is their only reliable D and their only transition guy. Pressure him without end and disrupt that transition and we'll be OK. They've got some good forwards and have been decent 5-on-5, but the Sabres speed can definitely cause their D to have a nightmarish game. Quote
Brawndo Posted October 22, 2022 Author Report Posted October 22, 2022 I would have scratched VO I am looking forward to Power and Lubuskin though Quote
steveoath Posted October 22, 2022 Report Posted October 22, 2022 Oooo, powerboosh. Looking forward to seeing how they do. 2 2 Quote

Good call. The silver lining/good that may come from the Jokiharju injury is we finally get to see Power Lyubushkin. And, if all F's stay healthy through the next 2 games will be interesting to see who sits against the Habs. (Presuming Krebs will sit 2 of they win tonight.) 1 1 Quote
French Collection Posted October 22, 2022 Report Posted October 22, 2022 I guess Krebs is the easiest one to sit. Alberta boy got both of those games. C’mon Quinn it’s your time to do something. 2 Quote

Yup - I think my statement that I have a higher view of Pilut probably rings true Quote

Tonight is YOUR night. Now go out there and take it! 4 hours ago, dudacek said: Regardless of a 2-week sample, the Sabres are probably not better than the Canucks. Vancouver should be properly motivated, and playing in their home opener. Buffalo is young this year and likely to have a lot of ups and downs. The bounces that are so common in the NHL are due to go in the other direction for each team. Hopefully the Canucks are fragile enough and the Sabres resilient enough to overcome that, but there are enough factors to favour the Canucks and justify this, IMO. This sounds like me before going to Jets Sabres games "Don't get your hopes up, don't get your hopes up, don't get your hopes up.." Quote
Brawndo Posted October 22, 2022 Author Report Posted October 22, 2022 Anderson is the First Goalie Off, looks like He gets the start 1 Quote
Thorner Posted October 22, 2022 Report Posted October 22, 2022 3 hours ago, SDS said: It sounds like you’re disagreeing with me, but I don’t think you are. Saying that Vancouver will win tonight is determinative (tonight js the night they will win) because they are “due” (not actually a thing - gambler’s fallacy). That's true. Looking at a roulette wheel, if it's landed red 10 times in a row, it's not "due" for black: the next spin is an Independent Event. But from the perspective of the moment, the odds of any single spin remains 50/50 so, going forward, the math would predict we are "due" for some black spins. But like you said, not BECAUSE of what came before. Quote
Norcal Posted October 22, 2022 Report Posted October 22, 2022 I could see Quinn getting started tonight with the ol boys. Goal and Assist I'm betting. Krebsie, take a seat and watch a bit. Quote
Norcal Posted October 22, 2022 Report Posted October 22, 2022 If the plan is to rotate these three until there's a consistency they like, it's not the worst plan. Does Sheahan fit in somewhere too? 1 Quote
PerreaultForever Posted October 22, 2022 Report Posted October 22, 2022 This should be the toughest game they've faced so far this year. Not the best team they've faced but Vancouver should come out with maximum intensity after the losing road trip. I think, in order to win, Anderson will have to play at least as well as he did in the first game. Quote

Doohicksie Posted October 22, 2022 Report Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) I guess one way to look at it is that Granato has three "rookies in training" on the forward lines: JJ, Quinn and Krebs. Krebs has more NHL experience but it seems like he's not advancing as quickly as Peterka. I wouldn't be surprised if, in the absence of injuries on the forward lines, we see a rotation emerge involving those guys (although if Peterka keeps up the good work he might very seldom be the odd man out).

freester Posted October 22, 2022 Report Posted October 22, 2022 I'm quite sure we will have a forward injury soon. Then both Krebs and Quinn will play. Quote

Believer Posted October 22, 2022 Report Posted October 22, 2022 Krebs sitting tonight… Hasn’t been playing well… Puts a lot of pressure on himself and admits to dealing with anxiety… Think I recall reading he has a Life Coach helping him… Needs a boost… Can’t work out of a slow start by sitting too long… Hate to see Krebs benched… and hope he doesn’t get down on himself… Quote
