Could make for some interesting lines...

Tage, Greenway, Benson
Mittelstadt, Skinner, Peterka
Cozens, Tuch, Savoie

Krebs is 16 games from losing his waiver exemption. If he's banished to the 4th line and it continues to struggle, is that ever a thing?

It was a nice win. You should be happy too.

Getting down to 2 goalies helps them a lot.

Fun atmosphere downtown today, not too many road fans. The arena was very light again this afternoon.

Worrisome type crowds if we didn’t have a billionaire owner

With how long they wait and how many chances they give players, do you really think they'd even consider that...?

Gotta be a scenario where the kids force things. I could see Krebs sitting before Okposo or Girgs.

Hopefully, and is Krebs just becoming a Place Holder with his play so far ?

Agreed, but for now, seems like an easy decision who to sit, as they are not committed long term to either of Olofsson or Jost.

For now, but 16 games is December. Lot of ways for things to play out. Hope a couple kids are part of it and Kane is not.

I could see Krebs hitting the bench as a healthy scratch

He’s on the hot seat imo

He’s having a tough time finding a role. I was nice last year that he dropped the gloves and filled the “scrappy “ role. Greenway owns that spot now

This is almost as bad as your bet against the sabres
- ZiggyBuff

Yeah that blew up in my face lol

But Kulich over benson is a must. Benson was completely out matched today and just looked lost. Game was definitely too fast for him

He took some bad penalties also.

Mean while Kulich keeps scoring and producing in roch. What more can he learn in the AHL?

Jost is a perfect 4C Krebs needs to get better soon and start to show his worth

Like mentioned in my benson comment. Kulich is coming soon

It's not pretty.

LOG + Krebs 12.6% xGF
LOG + Jost 64.6%

hell of a hockey game in case I forgot to say it

A plus effort

I think it's going to be Quinn and Kane by the time the new year rolls around, with both Savoie and Benson sent back to Junior, and Olofsson and Jost sitting.

That's the nightmare. Thanks for that.

Finally got to watch. Had to replay due to 4 hour miserable drive in the rain today. Best game of the year, hands down.
Joker becoming a solid Dman. Mitts really coming into his own.
Tage looks a bit frustrated still

“You have to show your guys you believe in them, and that means you’re going to have to put them in challenging and difficult situations where it could go the wrong way,” Granato said. “But if we want our guys to grow and compete and to be successful in the future, we’ve got to get them in those situations. They’ve got to soak up that experience, whether there’s a positive or negative result is a whole other thing. If we’re afraid to put them in that situation, what message are we sending to our guys? We ask them to be fearless as a team and as coaches, so we have to be able to put them in those situations.”

Krebs didn’t get the result he was hoping for on the play. He was knocked to the ice on the faceoff and was mistakenly called for a delay of game because officials ruled he put his hand on the puck. A replay showed he didn’t touch the puck with his hand, and Krebs’ frustration with the call was obvious. But the Sabres got the win anyway, as Dylan Cozens scored an empty-netter to seal it.



The bolded is hilarious right after that fluff paragraph. This article was all over the place, but it has a little of everything, the Don gets a nickname or 2 in there as well.

I said it earlier

I would lock casey for 6 years now and joker for 3 years


I would rather see joker than clifton when we turn the corner


ship out the dead weight

What % sure are you about pk88 and the Sabres ?

dead weight moving forward

clifton
e johnson
conrie
jost
krebs
olofsson
girgens/okposo (only need 1)

18.5 mil in cap space

It just feels like Krebs is still searching for his role on this team

It’s not scorer currently or 4th line, what’s his gig on this roster?

Wow that’s pretty low

With the kids ripping up Rochester , I think it becomes less likely every day

Kulich needs a look see


I guess Colorado fans want okposo suspended for the hit on makar today

move girgens to center and let him be the captain in 24-25 and center rousek and weissbach
