GoPuckYourself Posted March 9 Report Posted March 9 The only thing I don't really get is why did we send down Ryan Johnson and why bring up Jost/Clague who arent going to be a part of this core going forward? Why not bring up Kulich and Kozak instead? Getting NHL experience for Johnson should be much more important than helping Rochester Americans win games correct? Or am I blowing this out of porportion?Ā Quote

Given Casey's comments on Avs morning skate, I'm leaning more towards we have a serious coaching staff problem here in Buffalo. Not that it's news to many and given the teams scoring ability last season I was already pushing that way, but I get what your saying for sure. I just try to make light of it all, because if I don't, it gets depressing. So kudos to you and others who try to focus on the bright spots. 2 Quote

Seems Buffalo Hockey is a process problem taught by its coaches throughout the franchise. Hereās a Amerks fanās commentary: āThis team doesnāt fight, loses most physical battles, plays itās worst hockey on home ice, has a coach who always comes up with excuses, and most curiously right now has seemingly lost all offensive abilities!!! Who wants to watch that?!ā Sounds familiar.Ā Edited March 9 by Believer 1 2 1 1 Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 9 Report Posted March 9 An afternoon delight ??Ā Let's hope so. Just in case - it's one of the National Games on SN today up here and on *pirate satellite, orbiting your living room* ... MUST WIN !! GO SABRES !! AVENGE ????? (THERE MUST BE SOMEONE ,,, )Ā OH, YEAH .. FOGOLIN !! SWORDS !! For those not keeping track - Connor Clifton has turned into the Sabres shutdown stud D. 1 Quote

Iām looking forward to seeing our team without all of the dead weight on it I think weāll quickly realize that Mittelstadt and Okposo and their work on the boards were not the dead weight on the roster. Puck possession in this game could get ugly. EJ was being scratched regularly anyway. Butā¦ an actual practice for Byram and Dahlin together could result in some fun.Ā 1 Quote

Kozak might someday be a 4th liner. 20% chance. But today is not that day.Ā Iād rather have seen the Sabres get more from Colorado by working Johanson and retention into the trade with Philly, but Jost is fine at center to coast out the season.Ā I do think now that the AHL rosters are settled for playoffs you can get a 2- to4-game look at all the kids: Novikov, Kulich, Rosen, Kozak, Biro. Just cycle through them. Take one on the PNW trip. Quote

Ā ā¦ try turning to the Cap Side, abandoning the family to focus on your new hockey Empireā¦ and if that doesnāt free up time to watch the gameā¦ try cutting off one of the kidās hands. That said, I wonāt be able to watch this one either. IĀ hope the Sabres win.Ā Quote
