Donnie has none of that.
- Lunaion


Donnie has simmering competitive intensity. I think he's still in the phase of getting his guys to believe, but once the key players get to the point where they know they're good, he'll let them know when they (frank) up. He's not a people pleaser, he just knows what buttons to push and when to push them

The Sabres win because they score a lot of goals

Krebs
Asplund
Hinostroza

They don’t score goals

That’s why they sit

It’s really not rocket science here

- sbroads24


Mittelstadt hasn't scored a goal of any kind in his last 13 games, and he's been on the ice for a number of goals against.

Why is he playing again?

Krebs went 40 games without a goal

Vinny hasn’t scored this season

They aren’t sitting Mitts for them.

Which is why he’s playing over Asplund and Vinny when all are healthy most likely.

I understand maybe wanting Asplund In because of his on ice impacts

There’s absolutely 0 justification for playing Hinostroza over a guy who’s on pace for 30 goals and another on pace for 45-50 points. It’s absurd to think otherwise

The Sabres identity is a high scoring, great shooting team. They should embrace that. Sitting Olofsson would be asinine

Same with Mitts.

- sbroads24


Yes, absolutely agree with you and coach don.

It's not just contract status, both guys have better skill level and scoring ability than Elmer asplund and vinny hinny.

It isn't.

Baker mayfield , still think he's gonna be a generational qb?

Tyler bass still not kicking it dead center during the field goals he makes?

You miss quite a bit uncle ion

Now is probably your fetish for savoie that jinx's him. 🙄

Probably the 17 points in 31 games?

Well, lunaion did falsely refer to asplund as a "glue guy" 😉

I like Asplund more than you do, but the Sabres this season are going to live and die on how well they can shoot the puck and score goals. That’s the bottom line IMO

Krebs has 3 G’s in last 6 games.
It has taken awhile to get him going no doubt, but he is developing….maybe turned the corner?

Play that man at 3C

I would be playing Krebs right now too. No doubt. I’m not overly impressed but they need to figure out what role he’s going to play going forward.

Like most people, yes I have been wrong in my fandom.

You too, Risto, Sam, Girgs, Okposo, Asplund.
But you never go out on a limb calling out Prospects you want. You wait for your Sabres or Bills to make their pick, then support them no matter what…A Cheer Girl of sorts.

And for he record, because you twist and misrepresent nearly everything; The Bass reference was very, very specific … to his 60% success rate in Kicks from the Right in the 39-49 yardage range. The comment as made in his rookie season through about 4 -5 games as something he needs to correct.

He did, and I’ll take full god damn credit

Krebs has been held back due to playing with girgensons and Okposo. He has set up both players nicely and they can’t score.

No look up in your hockey magazines what his 5v5 production is. The question really is, why is he playing at EV when he is consistently getting caved in?
There really is only 1 answer.

I do love Robert Heinlein. If you want to learn how to overthrow anything - from a HOA to a sovereign nation - read The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Pure gold.

If you want to weep for humanity read Stranger in a Strange Land

If you - literally - want to read the most vulgar thought ever had by a human read the short story All You Zombies.

He was a genius.

Points are points man.....

Not every point needs to be scored 5 x 5 to win the game.

See our Sabres pp unit.
They win the Sabres games 🤔
