I expected a much better showing from them, but I guess any team can screw the pooch on any given night. Wow…listen to the Sen’s fans booing their team…..brings a smile to my face The standings do mean something, I agree. But the Sabres are miles above the Sens on talent, years of high draft picks assured that alone. it has been, is and always will be how that talent plays on any given night. Tonight, it’s the Sabres, yet we still have the dreaded 3rd period to go. So hang on to your seats Sabres faithful, we need these players to learn to use that talent a full 60. Quote

I just think he needs to get a bit stronger and faster in order to maximize his potential. He already has great hockey smarts and attitude….just need his body to catch-up. I also think about his mental state….sometimes he is the only one who has shown some backbone on the whole team. I don’t want the rest of the team to poison Benson’s attitude. ZB can just as well get bigger and stronger where he is currently. And he will poison the rest of the team instead. Quote

Carmel Corn Posted January 10 Report Posted January 10 Joki has been quietly effective in his return to the lineup…..I’ve not been a fan of his in the past, but will keep an open mind. Quote
Pimlach Posted January 10 Report Posted January 10 Sabres playing a decent 3rd thus far. Playing 7 D tonight was a good move. Gilbert has helped. You can’t play him much, but he has a role. Quote

No argument he needs to get stronger. I just don't see it stunting his growth. IMO, he fits in the NHL right now. I just don't get the sense there's poison in that locker room. I think his playing time is appropriate and he's handling the situations he's being put in. Now if he wasn't growing and sitting games because he's not ready, I'm with you, that's when I'd want him down. It can get a little wild wild west in the AHL too and I'm not sure I'd want him there.

If there was ever a situation where a 19 year old can change the attitude of his entire team….this is where I hope it can happen. If I was a player on the Sabres, I’d be embarrassed that the smallest and youngest player on the team has more courage than me or anybody else. I want more Benson’s on the Sabres…but right now he’s alone. Quote
