Norwin Panocha time. Let's go

All he did:

- was cover the front of the net for Skinners goal
- Control the puck down low during the 2nd period setting up multiple scoring chances/drew a penatly
- Drove the net to open the lane for the 3rd goal
- Broke up a play in the defensive zone and got an apple on the empty netter

Sabres don't need a 6' 5" bottom 6 guy doing things like that when you could have Girgs and his stellar individual defensive play.

Maybe you saw more than I did, I thought he looked out of position a lot, especially in the D zone. Couple times he got the puck and had space ahead of him but was quickly caught. Girgs does nothing for me personally, but not sure he's an upgrade either. Swapping out a good defender for net front presence isn't a swap we should be making right now.

I haven't rooted for a 7th rounder this hard since our long lost Vasilii Glotov.

Consider this my apology form, to you.

I'm expecting big things from Graham Slaggert as well

Good post

Murray didnt use his body especially around the net, despite his size.

Girgensons is an excellent defender with nhl speed.

Murray is slow and useless in today's nhl

Agreed. I thought he played better yesterday, less giveaways, but still left a lot to be desired. We need him to play like the heavyweight he is.

He's played in one of, if not, the softest league in the world against 17,18,19 year old's.

Not gunna come play against AHL/NHL talent/size and expect to bully them.

League is not kind to slow footed, slow decision making players.

Good point , slow footed and slow decision making.

Bad combo for the nhl....

It is.

The GSAA stat bear that out.

Team defense was also bad but it was more the goalie

Yeah I’m not going to beat a horse that’s already dead, but it was 100% goaltending and that’s not an opinion in my opinion.

Below the hash marks murray is tough to knock off the puck. His biggest down side is he slows the play down on rushes and zone entries and speed is kinda the Sabres thing. It’s not about skating speed but more to do with reading the play.

Defense had 19 year old power puff playing regular minutes.

Dahlin and samuelsson injured parts of the year.

Bryson dressing for games and playing......


Goaltending and defense was bad last season

Looks like bad management as the team had players in positions too early and no depth to cover for injuries.

Low hockey speed for Murray, lower hockey IQ.

Especially with our speed based, quick thinking team

It's to bad Murray's foot speed isn't what we need, cause I would bet anyone he would score more than Stone Hands.

Yes low Hockey IQ that's why he scored 49pts last year.

He is not the fastest, that should be a given at 6'5" 230+.

A winning NHL roster has roles, he fills a role that is still open on the NHL roster. Show me a real example of him being unable to keep up?

Erik Johnson is a no 1 draft pick, he was brought in to take Powers minutes and show him how to play.

You convinced me, murray is an NHL player 😀😀😀

Sounds like you're blaming the GM.

Six foot seven with zero physicality 😀😀😀

Playing defense in the nhl, you need to be tougher.

Power puff

Just stood beside Gm Kevyn Adams. Ima t hockey Villa either my daughter. Only Sabres fans here !

Sounds like you're blaming the GM.
- Lunaion

It was a growth year, needed to play power puff.

Sounds like you expected more then a 16 point jump with the youngest team in the league? Misinformed fandom.

Murray sucks
