You’re saying you want Matt Moulson back. Lol

Jack Eichel said he got a text from Matt Moulson, telling him to shoot the puck more. Eichel scored four goals tonight. #Sabres

Matt Moulson sent Eichel a text message to shoot more?
- kingcong39

If this is true - Eichel is so hated in the room that guys he hasn’t played with in 3 years are reaching out to him.

What a problem

I get it now. But hasn’t jacks coach been telling him this all year. Lol. I like that Jack and Matt are still close. Can Matt resend the message today? Can we get Vanek to send Vesey a message to stand in front of the net more? And maybe Peca can teach someone how to finish a check....

UPL with a .932SV% in the ECHL right now in his first three games of action back from hip surgery.

Cozens had 2 assists in the Canada vs Russia series in 2 games. In his third game in 3 nights he went back to Lethbridge and scored two goals in a 3-2 loss to bring his point totals to 15-15-30 in 20 games. He is averaging 5 shots per game.

Let's forget about the real poop stains on this roster for awhile, and concentrate on those representing the future, shall we?

Assigning a letter grade, how would you grade the following:
-Eichel
-Sam
-Skinner
-Olofsson
-Mitts
-Dahlin
-Joker
-Risto
-Montour
-Miller
-McCabe

And seperate category for
-Mojo
-Gilmour
-Hutton
-Ullmark

You’re forgetting one thing. They will eventually play for the Sabres and will SUCK. Kissing Cozens and “should be in the UPL” are BUSTS.

Because this is Buffalo, I can only think negative thoughts. Regarding Dahlin, I predict one of these 3 things to occur :

Continue to play like @$$

Asked to be traded

Quit the team and bolt for Sweden

I also predict that he won't get over playing like @$$ until traded to another team, where he'll become a superstar.

This is a cursed city.

Mine...

Assigning a letter grade, how would you grade the following:
-Eichel, A, shoot more consistently
-Sam, B+
-Skinner, B+
-Olofsson, C, need more 5v5 scoring, but not a defensive liability
-Mitts, C-,
-Dahlin, C-, seems he may be over-coached
-Joker, B+
-Risto, B-, better this season, but way overutiluzed
-Montour, incomplete
-Miller, C+
-McCabe, C-, playing probably 2 pairings above where he should be

And seperate category for
-Mojo, B-, trending down
-Gilmour, incomplete, but B is small sample
-Hutton, C, let's in too many flukey goals
-Ullmark, C

I truly think they are over-coaching him, clearly evident that he is overthinking the game way too much and is hesitant. That play in the 2nd that caused his benching was a real head-scratcher...like a WTF am I supposed to do.
They're in his head way too much...let the kid play.

UPL also has 2 shutouts in a row. Which is good. Hopefully he’s close to AHL ready soon. The Amerks could use a decent goalie.

It’s on the coach.

He’s setting both up to fail, and they are.

Why exactly does Mitts consistently get the teams worst wingers?

He looked excellent for a game on Johansson’s wing and then he’s back on the 4th line.

And Vesey and be waived any day now

Jonas Johansson also playing really well in Rochester, much better then the hamburgler

Weissbach, 1 less point then the chosen one at Wisconsin

Pekar on fire
Rousek taking a big step forward this year

Why is it on the Coach, maybe the players are just not getting it right now, they are both still very young. And your right with Vesey, time to take the bus.

- Buff36

coach is playing Casey as a shutdown center with vesey

Joker is easily one of our 2 best d men, not getting near enough ice time

Dahlin treated like a fringe prospect instead of the best D prospect in the last 20 years

Excellent post. The coach and his decisions are really starting to worry me. Our best chance at being good for the long term has to include the following:

1. Dahlin playing big minutes
2. Mitts getting regular time
3. Miller in the lineup
4. 55 and 19 not playing big minutes (and ideally moved)

It's funny how people are criticizing are coaches for teaching young players how to play the game. Is it wrong to want these kids to learn.
