[Brian Koziol] Granato says Krebs (and a few others) didn’t play much in the 3rd because he wanted to “shorten the bench”. Says he was not injured. Krebs only played 10:45.

Feels inevitable that Krebs will eventually go elsewhere and become a very productive player because that’s just how things go here.
Krebs seems like he has been in the dog house to a certain level since Savoie came up and they (per the rumor mill) got caught partying pretty hard the night before a game. I wouldn’t be surprised if Okposo called him out in the Florida game (for justified or not justified reasons) and that made the decision easier.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see him on the trade block. Or to be more stand out like he has been after the trade deadline.
I didn’t really see anything that warranted Krebs being sat last night but idk. Maybe I missed something.
I disagree with that decision but it worked so…
Krebs has 2 assists and 10 shots on goal over the past month and people are complaining he’s not in 🤣
It’s just a hunch…but I think Krebs is on GMKA’s trade list. Maybe he can get a beefier sandpaper guy in exchange. Maybe Donnie wanted to test what it’s like without Krebs around
People are always whining he’s not holding guys accountable. Now whining when he actually benches under performing players.The smaller skill guys were getting effortlessly shut down last night, and always do vs structured teams.
Gotta give credit to Donny for just benching them and rolling with guys who were interested in playing. Sabres generated nothing those first two periods and then came back to win vs a team that knows how to close games out. Can’t be mad at that.
Skinner, JJ and Benson probably deserved to be benched. I liked Krebs play recently, but not really rage inducing to see him benched either.
I’m one of Krebsie’s staunchest supporters in this sub and I still think people need to calm the fuck down over this. Coach did what he thought was needed to win the game. We won the game. One dude’s ice time isn’t more important than the team and right now sacrifices are gonna need to be made if this org really is trying to make a last gasp attempt at playoffs. He made it VERY clear that the changes he made were EXPRESSLY for that night in that building against those lines. You guys just look for shit to be pissed about sometimes. Enjoy the fucking win.
Know who probably ISN’T butt hurt over this? Peyton fucking Krebs. Bunch of gd doomers.
Peterka and Krebs seem to get shorted over Girgensons, Okposo, Robinson constantly. Also, we seem to finally have a goalie who let’s in only 2-3 a night, but we can’t support him… so why not dress VO 8-10 mins a night 2nd PP unit specialist? His shot is a gift from God and we are playing from behind 85% of our games. Makes no sense.
