If you’re going to keep commenting on what I posted at least have a damn clue what it was about. Because it had nothing to do with Cozens getting hit. Nor was the pass Benson made a “suicide pass”.


It was about Cozens passively standing there watching Benson go after the guy who hit him. Then hardly bothering to engage once things kicked off. The Cozens of 2 seasons ago would have been right in there preventing Benson from having to even bother. But the physical and aggressive Cozens we saw 2 seasons ago disappeared after he got beat up/broke his face last season. I don’t know how we get him back. But we can’t afford to have a full season without our #2 center being what he’s capable of.
it wasn't even a dirty hit you seem to be awfully ok with an action that would have put us at a 3v5 and probably would have scored 2 goals against us and we wouldn't have come back.

Getting his face caved in last year completely changed his game.
Sadly he was horrible before that fight as well. He's really only been good in one NHL season where they played true run & gun hockey.

There's a great thread about Cozens on the other Sabres forum with some very thoughtful posts. Basically it was pointed out that he's largely been a below average shooter, 2-way player and overall NHL'er in all but one season. He seems to only thrive in run & gun type systems and short tournaments against lesser competition. I really think the odds of him being a productive and useful 2C are slim. He might be able to salvage some production as a winger however.

Krebs fights someone tonight. You can tell confidence is high and he's probably mad he wasn't part of last night's fisticuffs
