Dylan Cozens out day to day

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Fight another skill guy, not a guy who knows how to punch faces. Or just don't fight. 

[Sabres73]

I'm not going to criticize any Sabres player for stepping up and taking a punch. Dylan's lesson from this should be don't hesitate before you start throwing haymakers or the other guy will.

Hope he’s ok.  He wasn’t exactly killing it with his play either. Maybe this will give him some time to get his head right.

He didn’t step up to take a punch, he started a fight with someone who is much better than him at fighting.

Yes, and? I'm not criticizing him for that.

I will criticize him, and his teammates, for waiting until 3 minutes to go in the 3rd period to show respect to the Sabres fans in attendance.  That's all.

So, fears of a concussion?

Hope not.  That'd be his 2nd as a Sabre.

Sometime you gotta because you gotta. Sure he picked the wrong guy but the fact he gives a dam is good.  That Flyer series was atrocious hockey.

Not exactly. Hockey fights are all about leverage and avoiding direct punches more than how you throw them. It's an art form and he needs to sit down and have a long chat with Rob Ray. He's an emotional fighter right now, but doesn't really know HOW to fight. It's a skill too. 

[Cascade Youth]

Sorry, but picking a fight during the last two minutes of a loss is almost always a stupid decision.  There was nothing to be gained at that point, he was just frustrated with himself for sucking this season and decided to get his face caved in.  Which will end up costing his team with his absence.  Cozens has been a disgrace so far this season, but he has lots of time to turn it around and now some time to think about it.

It's a real bummer 😕 

 

[Norcal]

Cozens trying to take the Tuch path to success huh? 

Next game it'll be a gordie Howe hat trick and he's off and runnin

Cozens, despite his willingness and gamer personality, is not a fighter. He’s a top young guy with a good ceiling. Pucks in net not punches in the mouth.

Yes, but he has humongous balls

Churchbell sized.

It will give him more space going forward.

I agree with this. I applaud his willingness, but if he plays another 10 years in the league I hope that he has no more than 2-3 strategically placed fights with carefully chosen opponents.

How does that more space thing work?

Watch out for Cozens, he's the one who got his clock cleaned?

Well, he’s willing to drop the gloves, but he needs to work on his technique.

Pronger had a lot of space, his technique was more stick oriented.

[Doohicksie]

No Cuzzy at practice today; not a good sign.  Sabres don't play until tomorrow though.  Maybe he'll be all better.

Sabres are quickly becoming a walking MASH unit like the Bills.

The Sabres have 5 (Biro, Mule, Comrie, Benson and Quinn) players on IR and Cozens day to day.  Enough already.
