Boo. So, Reimer is slow at tracking rebounds. Noted.

He made 10 saves before that.  Some were tough ones.  
 

He needs help around the net with rebounds though.  

[Wyldnwoody44]

[Stads]

So we're allowed to score quickly after the other team does? 

 

[freester]

Krebs should C 3rd line

[Night Train]

Dunlevy calling Krebs goal. Might as well be calling Bingo, his real talent. 

[CallawaySabres]

Looks like Buffalo is starting to settle in here

[Stads]

The ice looks awful.  Puck is bouncing everywhere 

[mjd1001]

With that goal, for the moment, Krebs ties Cozens in goals and points.

He does it in one less game.

He does it in 35% less ice time.

He does it shooting almost 4 TIMES the shooting percentage of Cozens.

He does it making 80% less of a cap hit.

He does it with 'lesser talented' line-mates

He does it with a better Plus minus.

He does it as the best on the team in faceoffs.

 

Its not to say he should take Cozens place on a higher line. Its to say Cozens really needs to start contributing (captain obvious, I know)

3 Sabres lost their edge skating earlier ...agreed.

From the perspective of showing he is talented beyond just a fourth liner, yes. Maybe even stat wise too.

It puts him on a pace for about 12 goals and 25 points.  Good for a 4th liner.  Acceptable but not great production for a 3rd liner.

[CallawaySabres]

They really need to cut out the crappy passing as they try to get rid of the puck too quickly. Do that, stay out of the box and they will win.

Cozens may be better off at the wing.

If we can just get him and Quinn firing again, we’ll be potentially scary. Just imagine those two really rolling…

I think it is just a matter of time. Cozens to find his confidence again, and Quinn to remember how friggin good he is—both mentally and his body. Those weren’t small injuries.

Having to be patient sucks rn, but I think it’s needed. Let’s just hope they come back to form this season.

Cozens has been having difficulties with anything resembling consistency for a long long time now. If he hasn't found his game by trade deadline, ya, I'm putting him on the block. Adams? Probably not. 

But if the goal is to get better, to be a regular for playoffs, Cozens is expendable if he can't figure it out. Just my 2 pennies on it is all.

Team misses Greenway and Thompaon

Power has such noodle arms 

[CallawaySabres]

Did Zucker actually not see the guy wide open in front of the net? Serious question.

[K012010]

Benson has the right competitive energy. I hope it spreads to the rest of the young guys. 

[Doohicksie]

[HumanSlinky39]

Reimer with 15 saves already in the first. That's good too see. I feel like if that was Levi, San Jose would have got 2 or 3 past.

He's a little ball of hate and I love it.

He is doing fine.  The Sabres need to give him better support.

Likely felt he couldn’t fit it through the Dman and decided to drive the net
