We had to come out and get on the Panthers and get ahead and it didn’t happen. They really toyed with us and really never had to push that hard, UPL was off too that first goal he was to far back in his net.
Sabres are a 500 team. They can't focus consistently. They take games off collectively. They don't sacrifice for a play. They still haven't learned what it takes. It's in their heads.
I like the idea of Benson to the AHL for a rehab stint. Get to see him more with his peers and see how he looks.
good teams make you pay for your mistakes. too many mistakes cost you.
Dahlin is making rookie level mistakes, and that isn't getting any better from what I'm seeing. Very troublesome.
Cozens has turned into Chase from the Paw Patrol movie. Don't judge it if you haven't watched it!
Cozens got in some fights and he had never been the same since. Didn’t a guy from Philly beat him up pretty good last year and he missed some games. He doesn’t seem to have the same speed and puck handling moves
Benson, Quinn and Cozens biggest disappointments…Beson gives a fine effort but you can’t waste a roster spot on a non scoring first round pick
Now would be the time to try to get Malkin from pittsburgh
Making Dahlin Captain appears to have been a huge mistake as his play this year has been wildly inconsistent. I think he's personally responsible for about 5 goals where he's made horrible brain fog decisions or failed to execute simple assignments. Now we're stuck because benching your Captain is a really bad look, but Dahlin (so far) appears to be psychologically incapable of handling the C.
Ruff also keeps playing guys who are hurt (Dahlin, Benson) or who are rusty from time off (Aubel) and they are costing us goals and games. Benson should CLEARLY go to Rochester, and Dahlin should either sit or drop to 3rd pair until he gets his act together.
