SABRES ON A WAR PATH OO HA
Jack Quinn's your guy for an offensive breakout.
Funny……been hearing this for at least 5 years….
you forgot "New Roof" in additions
“Rasmus Dahlin is a borderline stud.”
LOL he’s been a stud.
Tage’s hand was injured last year and he was rushed back. Non-issue for me. He’ll return to 40+ goals
Samuelsson was injured most of last year. Solid stay at home D-man if he can stay healthy.
You left out Jack Quinn who is a pure goal scorer who was out much of last year. He’ll put in 30-35. Cozens, Tuch and Tage all had down years. At least 2 should bounce back.
Granato was a good teacher, but not a disciplinarian. The Okposo+Granato leadership tandem was by far the softest in the NHL. Players actually need to be benched and I hope they will be. The Lindy effect will pay dividends. Lindy has them actually sweating in practice. He keeps harping on “compete” as evidenced by the team laboring after drills. Granato practices were an absolute JOKE. Also, Lindy will implement an actual simple and effective defensive system.
UPL was arguably the best goalie in the league from
January on last year.
The Sabres got rid of slow players in Okposo and Skinner and added the fastest players in the league (Aube-Kubel, Malenstyn and Mcloud. The Sabres need a full year of healthy Tage, Quinn, UPL, Samuelsson and growth from young players. That, combined with a better defensive system and power play (where they actually move the puck around) should result in more points.
This Sabres team feels more like the 05-06 version than the version who missed the playoffs 13 years in a row. The offensive firepower, defensive structure and solid goalie tandem harken back to the glory days. If the young players can buy in and they, for once, experience an average amount of injuries, they’ll make the playoffs.
What will actually happen? Dahlin gets injured in the first 2 minutes of practice during training camp and the Sabres let us all down again.
I’m gonna reverse jinx it and say the Sabres miss the playoffs for the 14th year in a row and the curse stays strong.
I hate my life.
Your analysis is dog shit. No wonder why nobody watches this
Jack Quinn is the guy to watch
This channel is dog shit bro
No, they ain’t fooling me anymore plus Lindy’s made the playoffs 1 times the last 6 years it’s over for him
The Sabres need to trade for Rasmus Anderson and Kulich needs to be the 2nd line LW.
Asking if its a buffalo thing.. there's actually a fun point here. Ted Nolan wrote a book [Life In Two Worlds: A Coach's Journey From The Reserve To The NHL And Back] and claims that a local First Nations group of Elders put a curse on all sports team in the area because they cut a First Nations athelet because he was indiginous.
Is it true? who knows.. but it would explain everything
Paterka will get 30 maybe 40 a firecracker and some Tnt Luuu and #27 in net and The d is as good as any1 on paper maybe a top 10 defense and im low balli g them because its the Sabres ,my team
If the Sabres get the goaltending/defense from last year and the offense from 2-3 years ago, they'll be just fine. 👍👍
Dum ass
Jack Quinn looks like he'll score 30 this year and he can replace Skinners goals. As far as Thompson goes, as long as he can stay healthy he can easily be a 40+ scorer every year.
Kulich went from December 16 to March 15 with only 3 goals. He also was worse than Skinner at defense.
Kulichs playoff stats from last year
5GP, 0G, 2A, 0 SOG and a -8!!!! He was on the ice for at least 10 goals against their 5 playoff games!!! I hope he proves me wrong but he is not ready.
This was a terribly inaccurate video
Skinner being gone will help greatly. He could score (only if he plays with top players) but was more of a liability. As a career Minus 130 player. There's a reason Buffalo never made the playoffs with him. Or why Carolina gave him away for a 2nd and so throw ins. Tage was injured for 3/4 of the year. Feel he can get closer to 90 points if stays healthy
Eichel was a cancer. Good player. But selfish and in my opinion…..a p.o.s. I had the displeasure of meeting him in a non-hockey setting before he was traded. Until that point. I had given him the benefit of doubt. Don't care if he won a cup on a stacked team. That amazingly, has a top player go on i.r. but, is fully recovered in time for the playoffs.
