mjd1001 Posted October 13 Report Posted October 13 (edited) The first 3 games, the Sabres did not respond to pressure well. If the forcheck against them was pressing, they didn't respond well. On the PP if they were pressured, they didn't respond well. It looks like Florida is out of position a lot tonight, but i'm not sure that is what it is. I think Florida scouted the Sabres and figured out, the way to play the Sabres is to press them, even to the point of overpursuit. So far tonight, the Sabres are simply handing that better than they have the first couple games by making the 'smart' play, taking what they are given pass to pass.

It’s mostly conversion imo. 14-7 Shots FLA Quote
mjd1001 Posted October 13 Report Posted October 13 They didn't get hurt there on the PK and got a stoppage with 2 seconds left in the PK, but I didn't like 3 of the 4 Sabres defenders all on the puck on the boards. If the puck even gets kicked out, Florida now has 3 on 1. It didn't kill them, but someone should have dropped back off the boards on the PK there. 2 minutes ago, Thorner said: It’s mostly conversion imo. 14-7 Shots FLA Yeah, I get that. Positionally they may have actually played better against LA the first 2 periods than they are now. But the goals they have scored, their good scoring chances, are a result of the Sabres making simple smart plays. Quote
mjd1001 Posted October 13 Report Posted October 13 (edited) Kulich was bothered all the way in, but I'll say what I said last game. Unless you have 'elite' hands (not good, but elite), these guys on breakaways, penalty shots, even 2-on-1's, they are going in too far on the goalie. I think they should shoot earlier or make their final move earlier. They go in so far and there is often no room left. If the goalie isn't 10 feet out of the net, then he is giving you SOMETHING to shoot at, take the 10-12 foot shot. Edited October 13 by mjd1001 1 Quote
