Jordan Greenway “Not Good To Go” | Buffalo Sabres Coach Don Granato Gives Updates Ahead Of Capitals

Jordan good to go Jordan is not good to go um we uh we had some um Imaging and and obviously saw the doctor yesterday and that was all good news and so now it’s going to be you know we we uh hope what he has resolves sooner he was

Obviously out there skating so he’s you know he’s close to being sooner but we’ll something we’ll have to evaluate uh continue to evaluate day by day here uh to see where he’s at your penalty kill has had three pretty good games in a row obviously did Saturday you’re playing a power play

That’s been hot for a month or more I mean obviously oetkin is one factor but what’s your thought looking at the caps on the power play I mean you go in each game and and obviously you know vetchin you know the key players you know um I

Think that the league there’s film on everybody uh you get to know the Personnel of everybody um you know there’s lots of similarities from Power Play to power play and then different unique things and you know we’re we’re no different than other teams is you you look at the strengths of the group

You’re playing against and you you know you target what you need to um and that’s no different tonight so there’s you know some some strategy that we use you know consistently night to night and then others that are specific to team and no different uh going into tonight’s

Game but yes they they uh they’re very capable we know that like Bo comes I mean we saw him he got a lot of mess early and he he settled in but I mean the bigger picture just what what what are the challenges of a guy like him

Who’s only know one organization coming here and trying to adapt I mean you’ve talked about different def you know Zone versus man and so forth but like what are the challenges that he has I guess well I mean there’s lots of challenges you factor in just where he’s at in his

Career he’s doesn’t have a lot of games played um he’s Young And so there’s you know there’s constant adapting you know in in uh you know learning um as a player he jumps from the Western Conference to the Eastern Conference there’s you know players you play over and over in the Western Conference

You’re getting familiar with different ones in the Eastern Conference too you play more um in your division more so lots of um you know lots of you’re taking in lots and lots of information um obviously when you you know as I mentioned you know Colorado’s defensive sche team is different than

Ours not many teams play man on- man anymore but he’s coming from that system to to one that’s not uh in the defensive Zone and um I thought he’s I think he’s done an incredible job um when I say accelerating um how fast he’s adjusted and adapt U but it’s easier for a

Younger guy also to do that and a guy with the athleticism that he has um so I think he’s done a great job and it and it’s really exciting to see um you know how far not only he’s come in a short time but how far he can go I

Mean he’s a very talented guy that uh changes the dynamic not of our back end but changes the dynamic of our team um as you’ve seen we could put Owen and dolls together as a pair um much easier now that B’s in a lineup uh than maybe we could have

Before or we could have before I should say um and you have Bo with Henry the other night and and skating the other day that’s a that’s a great pair in itself so um you know pretty exciting to have him in this group when you look at the the fact

You’re still on The Fringe of this thing obviously you’re not in a good position but is it easier just to keep your players attention when you think of Washington Philly Detroit as opposed to playing teams that were out of it as easier just to keep their it I mean it’s

Obvious that that you know you know those are team teams that uh that are fighting too and and you know there’s not enough spots for all of those teams uh so they’re really all in the same situation we are um in the sense that they’ve you know um they’ve got to win

Games to to be in it or they’re not and um yeah and it it it’s you can take points from those teams that are in it so um and we all know how momentum swings are and you know teams get on ruts and streaks so if you can help them

You know um you know streak the the wrong way it’s it’s a you know that that could be could be the case too so uh but at the end of the day um you know as I mentioned it’s nice it’s way nicer to play those teams the end of the day it’s

Still executing when you need to um and that’s what our focus is uh 99.9% on I know a concept you talked about before is giving players hindsight and just adding to their experience how much do you still see Benson soaking up when it comes to playing meaningful games in

April and just adding so much to his PL this year well he attacks every situation with you know compete and energy um so I think just by virtue of that the more situations he’s in the more he progresses through his career the more he’s going to soak up and soak

In he just that’s just the way he is so um you know he’s he he puts everything into it every day whether it’s practice or a game um with a real uh focus on achieving in that moment but how getting better he’s he’s always trying to get better and um you know

Again I mentioned it many many times that’s why he’s in this league at a very young age and and uh contributing who’s in for uh Jordan uh Rusk would be in he’s back in full goal y r Robinson will be in too so Jo to be out

Buffalo Sabres head coach Don Granato spoke with the media ahead of the game’s game against the Washington Capitals on April 2, 2024. He gave an injury update for Jordan Greenway, talked about Jeff Skinner’s 1,000th game milestone, and more.
