Why Rousek has not been sent back is mind blowing. WTF else do you need to see?

>>> Zach Benson is among the first Sabres on the ice for practice this morning.

>>> Don Granato had a brief chat with Peyton Krebs as the Sabres warmed up for practice. Krebs was scratched Saturday in Pittsburgh for a yet-to-be disclosed reason.

>>> Alex Tuch isn’t practice today. He’s missed the past two games with an upper-body injury.

Sabres host the Bruins on Tuesday night.

I guess Krebs had a family matter, the reason for his scratch status last game.

tuch out tomorrow

donnie was not trying to win games last year, but this year his is so that is why we see okposo and girgens on pp for tied game


meatballs is in over his head

And I've really liked Donny from the start, this is a crying shame. He's great at developing guys, that's obvious. It's just crazy how little he knows about in game coaching. Everything, from line choices to things as simple as when to call a time out, is just off. I'm waiting to see Okposo on the 1st line again...

He might be able to play kids when there's 0 pressure to win, he's a mess this year.

EJ over RJ speaks volumes. Trust the vets, even when the kid was excellent and the vet terrible.

Relying on the wrong players, sometimes you have to finally trust the younger players to move your Team forward.

I'd like to see the Sabres model their PP after Tamp's:
Wall Guy - Stamkos , Tage
Set-up DMan - Heddy, Dahlin
Dman - Cernak, Power
Distributing F - Kucherov, ?(Benson, Mitts?)
Net Front - Point, ? (Tuch, Quinn?)((Sam R would be perfect))

- IonSabres

Not bad, I just want them to shoot the puck, stop trying for the perfect play or pass. Get it to the net and go get it.

Vanek thinks Kane would be a great add to the roster per ATW.

If Kane plays like Kane can play yeah. If he looks like Backstrom fold the team

he literally said these games matter, I am going to coach differently and shorten the bench (roll 3 lines)


there is no way to develop that third line if we have 2 or 3 larry's for him to lean on that can't score

Most coaches go safe when there's a choice to be made between players to play?

That almost always means playing veterans over young players, and especially rookies.

Seems similar to how McD game manages when things are tense.

"were going to let the kids learn and grow through experience on the ice."

Unless that experience is in a tight game or against good competition then they will sit on the bench and watch and not learn and not grow and not gain the on-ice experience.

When Benson returns, Rousek is back to the AHL.

Who goes back to the AHL when Comrie returns...?

>>> We have assigned Brandon Biro to @AmerksHockey.
