JoeSchmoe Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 (edited) Can someone give an honest report on how Rosen and Östlund are doing? Part of me is super hopeful that they're going to be bonafide contributors to us being perennial cup contenders... And another part of me... The much pettier part.. wants to hear how right I was that they sucked as picks.

They might not both play for Buffalo though. They might be pieces to bring in other pieces the team needs.

Mr Peabody Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 Liked the pack mentality of going to the net. Speed and quickness favored the Sabres. Face offs were abysmal but they were so one sided you know they’ll be a focus for improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire Sabres team is over in Germany. They won, it's better than losing. Would have been "more impressed" if they lost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerreaultForever Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 It was like watching an AHL game. Rochester did fine. Nothing overly impressive but this group too seemed to attack the net front better than last year's Sabres so I assume Ruff must be preaching this constantly. It's a good thing. Long overdue. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't understand actively coaching Alamo mode when the idea is to get a good look at these kids. Lindy has a very limited time to install his system and with the Euro trip the Sabres have way less time to look at kids. they already know there are only about 3-4 bubble players so looking at kids is not a priority. Learning how Lindy wants to play and getting ready for back to back games versus NJ is his priority. last year they ran a extended tryout and were not ready to play when the season started. I complained about that a lot. They were terrible right from the start. I think Lindy is doing it right and given the circumstances he has no choice. This team needs a good start to the season. Time to win is right NOW. Edited September 25 by Pimlach 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_sauve28 Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 https://www.audacy.com/wgr550/sports/sabres/the-sabres-remain-undefeated-in-preseason The Sabres power play goal produced the game winning goal from a very impressive 19-year-old power forward. Anton Walhberg was hard on a few battles along the wall and found himself behind the net. He quickly came out front and Tyler Tullio’s rebound came right to him for the goal. You might say it was a lucky goal and yes it was, but Wahlberg made his own luck by getting into position right around the net. The Sabres first-round pick from this past June, Konsta Helenius played his first game and there were some things to like. He wasn’t even close to perfect, but his anticipation was good and he processes the game extremely well for an 18-year-old. I'm sure he had more than a few nerves. Isak Rosen was not one of the 27 players that earned the right to go to Europe, but honestly he didn’t deserve it. He didn’t dominate the Prospects Challenge like Jiri Kulich did and he didn’t seem to have his head into this game. He had no shots and had a lazy turnover on the power play that led to some shorthanded opportunities. This has to change quickly or the 2021 first-round pick is going to plummet down the depth chart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to win is right NOW. My post had nothing to do with Lindy, but I agree entirely. I was fine with the first two periods, but going Alamo mode in a preseason game when you need to evaluate these kids made no sense to me.
