GDT: Sens at Sabres; 7:00 p.m. EDT, March 25, 2025

[Ace]

He's a future 1st liner ... Book it

I just don’t understand how he can think the game at this level this young at this level of competition. I get hockey IQ and I know he had that and compete in surplus. But still. He’s like…never lost. It’s even more impressive because he doesn’t have the physical gifts to make up for errors. He’s not fast or strong enough to make up space. He’s just already there. Willingness goes a long way…but this boy is SMART.

Whatever Reimer is on......I want some.

Who had UPL losing his job to James Reimer in March on their bingo card?

 

[old kummelweck]

McLeod has had some bad D zone turnovers tonight.

 

[SabresFan26]

First time I’ve watched in a while but liked JDB pasting his former teammate in Tkachuk to clear the net.

 

[GrierIsGod123]

McLeod has had some bad D zone turnovers tonight.

Agreed ... maybe a little overconfident haha

 

[Fezzy126]

Eh.....I like the way Beck plays...but I certainly think Greenway and McLeod are better defensively as well. Maybe Tuch as well

I'd definitely put Greenway and Mcleod in the group of 'good' defensive forwards, but I'll just say that if they played with the linemates that Beck has, you might feel differently about them.

Tuch has his strengths defensively, but there are some glaring mental lapses in his own zone that have been seared into my brain that i can't unsee.

I'm not one to dump on Krebs, but if the Sabres were thinking he would end up as the regular 4C, Kozak makes him expendable imho. Just seems like a more reliable player already at 22 with 16 games under his belt, than Krebs is at 24 in his 4th full season.

Redundancy is a good thing to have with bottom 6 players with their style of play. I'm keeping both until the finances and team control become an issue with one of them.

 

[Ace]

That Pinto shot out front is one that goes in 100% of the time on us.

Now it’s 99.9

 

[Chainshot]

I wish Krebs worked that hard all the time.

 

[Ace]

I wish Krebs worked that hard all the time.

I think he doesn’t. I wish he knew where he was going more often.

 

[Chainshot]

That was some lumber yard, axe handle stuff on Tage's ankles.

 

[GrierIsGod123]

Ottawa just seems to be able to maul our players with no consequence ... c'mon

 

[Chainshot]

I think he doesn’t. I wish he knew where he was going more often.

More like he doesn't think.

 

[toddkaz]

Ottawa has been neutered the last 10 minutes

Where is Cozens?

 

[GrierIsGod123]

More like he doesn't think.

Let me just ask ... if you had a choice between Krebs or Kozak for next year ... who you taking?

 

[GrierIsGod123]

Ottawa has been neutered the last 10 minutes

Where is Cozens?

You can tell their coach already looks at him as the third option down the middle. Pinto and Stutzle are clearly more trusted in key moments.

I think this is the reason why. Necessity and all that.

 

[Chainshot]

I love Kozak but I would keep both because Kozak has a tendency to break.

 

[GrierIsGod123]

I love Kozak but I would keep both because Kozak has a tendency to break.

I meant if we could literally only pick one. I think I'd go Kozak...just seems more like a good 4C option.

 

[Chainshot]

Sammy knows who he can knock over without fear.

 

[Ace]

The Reimerssance is real

 

[GrierIsGod123]

Sammy laying Cozens down ... love it

 

[Chainshot]

I meant if we could literally only pick one. I think I'd go Kozak...just seems more like a good 4C option.

I really like Kozak in that role, yeah. It's just he always breaks. Love him, but it's something to plan for.

and JBD the star of the Cozens trade

 

[GrierIsGod123]

The Reimerssance is real

Reimer just hates the idea of Buffalo getting Michael Misa I suppose
