Spector backs up Bernard. But their WLB sitch kinda blows.

The price of reviving Mitts has been to relegate Cozens into the Larry zone.

But it does not have to be.

Peterka-Cozens-Biro/Krebs
Greenway-Mitts-Benson/Jost
Who Cares

This puts your best 1st line back together. And also gets your Mitts line back that was playing the best this year. And also Gives Cozens some skill and 2/3 of the kids line.

And can we tell Dahlin that he’s one of the best defensman in the league and he can skate out of his zone with the puck.

When teams trap we just cant pass tape to tape well. But if Dahlin and Power skate it out it opens up the ice. It was so obvious yesterday.

Im glad we got back to back with the flyers. Im hoping meatballs has the balls to adjust between games.

They have tried Mitts at 3C for 6 years, he is not good enough to carry a line on his own.

As for the bolded, organizations that prioritize winning care. It's a write off for Buffalo fans as the organization has created a father and weird smelly uncle roles with a failed prospect in one of the biggest trades of the NHL last 15 years.

Send Krebs to Roch.

No time to wait for him. Biro comes in and gives you more in 9 minutes than Krebs has all year.

From Athletic

1. The last time Brandon Biro was wearing a Buffalo Sabres jersey, he was covered in blood. In the second-to-last preseason game this season, Biro took a shot off the face and needed stitches on the inside and outside of his lip. Once he got stitched up, he had a full shield fastened to his helmet and returned to the game to try to earn a roster spot. He got sent down to AHL Rochester, but Biro was the first name the Sabres called when they needed to bring someone up to the NHL. And in his first game since the call-up, Biro scored twice, starting with the Sabres’ second goal of the game and finishing it off with an empty-netter. On his first goal, he crashed the net and got a pass from Tage Thompson. He scored while falling face-first toward the net.

“He knew how you could score that goal, how he could get that puck in the net. It was a little bit unconventional but creative and evident of a high hockey IQ,” Don Granato said.

The Sabres have worked a lot of different line combinations early in the season. Part of that has been an effort to find combinations that give them depth throughout the lineup. Zach Benson was providing a spark early in the season, and now Biro has a chance to do the same. Biro had only 9:10 of ice in this game but made the most of it.

2. Thompson took a few games to get going, but the Sabres’ top scorer is back in form. Early in the season, it seemed like Thompson was having games in which he was shooting a bunch but not getting much puck luck. Against the Flyers, Thompson had only one shot on net, but it went in to give the Sabres a two-goal lead in the third period. He also drove the play through the neutral zone to set up Power for what would be the game-winning goal. He was on the ice for three of Buffalo’s goals and not a single goal against.

3. J.J. Peterka has quietly put together a three-game point streak for the Sabres and has four goals and an assist through 10 games this season. The assist came on the Sabres’ first goal of this game when he fed Casey Mittelstadt on a give-and-go. Getting to play on a line with Mittelstadt has been a boost for Peterka’s production, and he could be in the early stages of a breakout season.

side note


our pp sucks this season

The fact that this guy can’t get this team motivated to play 2 high intensity games in a row is concerning.
His line tinkering is questionable. His over confidence in a terrible 4th line and his timing of using them is concerning.
His inability to solve the trap is concerning.

Spector played 0% of the defensive snaps vs the Bucs. Dodson played 42%.

Similar count for the Patriots, and vs the Giants, Dorian Williams was playing.

please tell me we're not blaming a coach for the players lack of motivation, or what appears to be such.

Ridiculous, if you put him there, atleast give him Biro. Been really impressed with Rosen, his game has grown tremendously. If you want to bake Kulich a bit more bring Rosen up and slide him with Cozens.
Rosen Cozens Biro could be intriguing

Your telling me the coach has nothing to do there?

Philly goes down 2-1. Torts is animated on the bench towards his players, as he should be. His team then proceeds to outplay Buffalo 95% of the rest of the game.

Only time I see Granato animated is when the Refs calls some junk.

It’s time to sit one or both of Girgs and Okposo.
