Quinn Scratched…Who’s next?

[bob_sauve28]

With Greenway and Aube Kubel coming back, soon, I hope, there is a log jam at forward. Who sits will be interesting. Kulick looks like he belongs, Quinn and Cozens better start performing or they might be in press box. Aube Kubel should play, I really wish he played in that Pens game, would of loved his physical presence in that third period

Quinn still looks awful. Something is wrong but he doesn’t deserve to be gifted minutes figuring it out

 

Thimpson and Tuch woke up. Thankfully 

 

Samuelsson needs benched I don’t care how much I hate Bryson

LOL - so he was the right choice in a bogus hiring process.  Wonder who would have been coach in a correct hiring process?

In a legitimate process with the primary criteria established of having experience he would have been a prime candidate, and a worthy selection. You may disagree but it was a reasonable outcome within a charade process.

I think the Sabres need TWO legit centers, Cozens and Tage would be more consistent and successful on the wings, and this would push some of the other forwards down into better roles as well.

 

 

I half agree and disagree with your conclusion that both Cozens and Tage should be on the wing. Tage needs space to work with in order to be effective. So I would keep him in the center spot. Cozens is pressing and doesn't have the vision of a center. I would put him on the wing. Maybe that change of position will also relax him enough to do less thinking and more reacting.

I think my soft fans comment proves out.  We traded Savoie for McLeod, who you just posted as wanting to give 2C minutes to.  Then complain we don't have centres and name Savoie.

Our fan base has lost its ability to think clearly.

You are childish and delusional.  I am stating we need to be better at center.   If you think we don’t, that’s great for you.  

I pointed out we drafted 6 centers in four years (which includes Savoie), something you can’t seem to follow,  to illustrate the teams need at center.  

I want to give McLoed more minutes because Cozens play isn’t as good as his right now.  

Your inability to follow and comprehend a discussion is the problem.  

Your calling me or the fan base soft is just the childish response of someone who cannot contribute a tangible comment about hockey.

Even if it is for the short-term, Cozens needs to be moved to the wing. Maybe that will relax him and allow to think less and play more reactively. He's clearly pressing. Moving him to the wing would not be a punishment. It is making a change to get him back to his previously productive form. Even if moving him to another position is a temporary move to change the dynamic of the situation, it might be the right response to jolt him into better play.

I think if both those guys came back Benson is going to get the hook. What can he do that Aube Kubel can not? They are just not going to take Cozens out. Quinn and Kulick may trade off depending how things are going.

JJP's return awakened them.

Gilbert can play if Muel gets a night or two off.

Duh, we all know we need to be better at center.  Just the reasonable fans aren't crying about Savoie and Helenius being the reason. You got busted falsely being upset with the organization.

Samuelsson would be a good start.  Play Gilbert or Bryson.  
 

Kulich showed something yesterday but I expect to see Quinn back in Chicago.  
 

Cozens should sit out but we have no centers.    
 

We traded a star center, drafted a bunch of centers that are not really centers, traded a solid playmaking center, and now we have very little at center.  

Maybe Ville Leino is available?

Muel . He's in year 2 of looking lost. JMO. 

[SABRES 0311]

Dahlin just go send a message. Unless his lackluster play is because of an injury.
