GDT: Sabres vs Blues 7:30 PM ET - TV:ESPN+, Hulu Radio:WGR550 - T'No'T

[KeyserSoze81]

I still don’t understand what the league is doing with reviews in general, or goaltender interference

I am right there with you.

 

[Mattilaus]

Nearly 40 yr old Suter played over 33 mins last night. Wild.

No no, he plays for the blues not the wild. I can see how you got mixed up though given the wild are still paying him too.

But srs, this guy is 40 and is currently being paid by 3 NHL teams?

Sad but true

f***ed over is just a sign of respect from people that attempt to make us fail . great win by the sabres and I'll expect an amazing effort at home against the chefs

 

[Chainshot]

Have to wonder if the downgrade from Mcleod to Krebs played a role?

Very possible. Also looks like Greenway is bothered by something.

 

[K8fool]

Krebs is very talented and gung hi but actually makes so many dumb decisions that cause multiple turnovers and momentum loss he should sit and like Alex in clockwork , he should be dosed and watch these gaffes on a loop and play sporadically. apologies like your grit my friend

cozens and Quinn are figuring it out

Benson is a star McLeod could also be one great swap for mitts I really like byram

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

Byram is the worst of the three so far, Dahlin is the best, despite the mistakes. Byram had a lot of not good defensive plays, but he's a offensive D.

HDCF/HDCA:

Dahlin +16
Power - 11
Byram -15

Are these all situation numbers? The 5v5 ones i've seen are different.

100% and if I'm being honest, it's the the type of manipulation we've been lacking from our PP QB and one of the biggest reasons I've been critical of Ras this year.

Agree. I have felt all year he has not been aggressive enough offensively... especially on the PP.

And yet he is almost PPG this year... imagine if he ups his aggressiveness

Ehh.. it wasn't that big of a change. You put your PP QB and best passer on the wing instead of the point. Dahlin also has the best shot of the three umbrella players, so there was that.

But, they still ran an umbrella with a net front. Aside from the trading places between Dahlin and Peterka, there wasn't a ton of movement. It wasn't like facing Edmonton, where McDavid gets in on the right half wall and drives to the center (bumper area). The bumper goes net front, and the net-side (Draisaitl) gets wider. That's really dynamic.

I think the Sabres could do so much more on the power play than just umbrella and find the open wing to shoot. Thompson has an elite shot on the left half wall. The Sabres should go watch the Caps power player from 2017-2020 and do something like that. Everything was run off the right side between Backstrom, Oshie, Kuznetsov, and Carlson. That's what I'd do.
