Benson has corrected his own mistakes multiple times tonight 

Sabres realistically could have the runner up and the 3rd place finisher in the Calder voting this year.  (No way Bedard doesn't get it; especially with Benson and Levi stealing votes from each other.)

Could be a fun race.

Benson is the best Sabres Player to wear number 9 since Derek Roy 

Evander Kane wants a word.

Is the answer Benson?  Because it feels like Benson.  (Either him or Jokiharju burying a 2nd opportunity.)

Still nothing working for Tuch tonight.

At least Power has picked it up.

Expecting at least a fair amount of Clifton and Tuch looking not good, to be polite, is them not having played at all in the preseason yet.  (Wasn't Tuch a day of scratch in the 1 game he was scheduled to play?)

Piss poor effort overall.  They need to pick up the pace and be much much more aggressive on the forecheck and backcheck.  They played like rhey were playing pond hockey with the boys back home.

UPL was invisible on that one 

Just like the first two.

The Sabres played like garbage and they should feel bad. 

Benson had lots of good, but a little bad. 

Mittelstadt... uhh played the game?

Peterka had some moments. 

Dahlin looked solid. 

Power was 50/50 

Olofsson... I got nothing. He had 1 nice shot I remember. 

Rest were meh. Lots of meh

Granato cannot be happy with the effort…

UPL didn’t help himself… Neither did Olofsson.

Was Clifton told not to hit anybody tonight? I only half watched , didn't seem like there was a lot to like outside of Benson.

VO hit a post on the pp but was otherwise useless.

I don't understand where Rousek fits on this team. 

UPL didn't have much help on some of those goals but he should have gotten the 4th.

BIro had a mini breakaway but other than that I didn't notice him at all.

The power play was God awful but that's not what any of our units will look like in the regular season so I'm not concerned there.

Its also the preseason and it's best not to read into it too much. Can't wait for the actual season to start.

Ryan Johnson was 60/40 good plays/bad plays

Pretty sure PP needs a new coach.  But that ship has salied for this season.

(And yes, these units weren't anything at all like what they'll be next week.  But these fill ins can't execute a zone entry to save their lives on the PP which is the exact same issue the real units had last year.)

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
