Doohicksie Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago 40 minutes ago, JohnC said: Tage is playing really well. I would say Tage is finding the attitude/mojo he had at the end of his 47 goal season. He's using his size and reach to make plays and take over a shift, but he's smarter than he used to be; when he draws opponents toward him he's ready to dish to a linemate. He's starting to be that "top 15 center" that other thread questions that he can be. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying the Sabres are anything or that I know a darn thing about what we are - but it's nice to have you posting positive things. Winning is a heck of a thing. Obviously so is losing, but I think they're at least showing the team is worth giving some time before we condemn it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjd1001 Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago (edited) The team has been so fun to watch since they have been scoring goals...now i'm kinda bummed out we have to wait 4 more days until the next game. They didn't really 'miss' Benson...maybe another game off to try to get whatever his injury is truly to 100%?

Early season calls for psychological dominance. Finess comes later. Disagree with me? Never really said Benson was small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted 5 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Just so disappointed in Quinn right now. He doesn't even look like a shell of his former self, just no confidence at all. Really hope he gets going because whatever this is, ain't working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might be time for Lindy to mix deployments. Give the Cozens line O zone starts and limited minutes and let them work it out while the McLeod line gets second (or like tonight... first?) line minutes. I personally don't have a problem with McLeod getting more minutes than Tage's line; I kind of like the idea of keeping Tuch-Tage-JJP fresh for later in the game.

Stoner Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Sure it's been discussed but the Krebs goal was brilliant. Heady and, uh, handy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he didn't work out in the off season? Something is very off. That said, great game! They earned the W for sure and full team effort.

Stars missed on some high quality chances but them the breaks. More of that effort please. Jack Quinn, Dylan Cozens, Jiri Kulich and Zach Benson will all be fine. All players go through ups and downs. They'll find the magic again. If the other three lines are holding them up, it will give them time to work things out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierDaddy Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago I know there are 82 games and that there were a lot of negatives, but if you can’t enjoy the wins I don’t know why you watch.I’m pretty happy tonight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Great win - best one I can remember since beating Boston right around New Year’s in 2022-23 to get to DeLuca .500 on a long ricochet pass from Dahlin to Tuch to tie it at the end of regulation and then I think Cozens made a great play to set someone up for the GWG in OT. UPL was great. I think Lindy will start him again vs Detroit. I thought Power and Byram, especially Power, were great, and especially in the D-zone. Signs of life from Cozens, Dahlin and the PP. The PK was also very good, although Dallas’ PP is about as bad as the Sabres’. Nothing from Quinn though. He seems to have lost his mojo. I think he’s only had 1 good game all season. TT is looking like he did 2 years ago — a no-BS star #1 center. And he got to shoot the big gun tonight on the great feed from Power, who made another one on McLeod’s goal. McLeod is looking like a great pickup. That’s 3 strong showings in 3 home games under Lindy. Keep it up and the fans will return. In the meantime, if they beat Detroit they’ll be 1 under DeLuca .500 with some solid momentum. Go Sabres! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyldnwoody44 Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Caught some of the game, that was the best they've looked in some time.....little scary at the end there though 😬😬 The PP is doing some down low into a middle bumper between the dots and that is the look they need to keep, the best chances they have had all season on the PP was with this setup.... Even though they still do the stupid drop pass thing. UPL was in the zone, felt bad he didn't get a shutout. But a w is a w and it looked good. Let's see if the boys learn some consistency, if they played this way every night, we wouldn't be too upset with a close loss out of it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn was out most of last season so never really went through a slump. I recognize that there is debate over whether a "sophomore slump" is a real phenomenon, but my opinion is that it could indeed affect young adults adjusting to a more mature, regimented yet high-pressure life. It's an inner journey that obviously is different in intensity for each person. I think we're seeing this with Cozens, too, albeit prolonged.

PerreaultForever Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) Well they almost blew it but there were some real good things in this game. Real positive signs. Good attention to details, good team structure, energetic skating, lots of sticks in lanes and even some blocked shots. Little things that add up. You can definitely build off this win. I thought that was perhaps Jokiharju's best game as a Sabre. Perhaps a turnaround is still possible this year after all and maybe even the overdue Boston/Buffalo flip, as the Bruins look dreadful.

I just don’t see too many positives. Missing an ENG, not finishing multiple checks, losing face offs at a furious rate, more shots to the pads, etc. Corsi numbers were OK but again Ruff played McLeod and third line more in 5v5 than Cozens and the second line.
