Hence the words could become...He is only 22. How was Tage and Mitts at 22?

Most posters would have traded them both away for a bag of pucks.


Like Tage and Mitts did when they were 22? Bet you would have traded them away for a bag of pucks too.

It seems like ppl are just dead set on not liking Krebs... Very similar to a lot of the negative comments mitts got last year. Playing with Okposo and Gus isn't going to improve your offensive abilities

This game is so painful to watch. I feel bad for Jackets fans as much as those of us sticking to watching the Sabres.

And it's a full house tonight...

So what? Are you suggesting we never trade a prospect who isn’t performing at 22 because occasionally there are late bloomers? Good luck with that.

Let him develop in the AHL then

We gave up on Alex Nylander too soon.
Same with Joel Armia

I'll say this - I think Columbus has enough there, the skeleton of a good young team that with a quality coach is going to get much better quickly. That Russian line is excellent 5-on-5 (okay, it's Voronkov who makes that go but still) and if they can sort out their prospects into legit players, I like where they are poised to go. It only takes a strong, prepared voice behind the bench and I think they will make a jump.

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

Come on Luukk.. shut the door!

 

[DapperCam]

I am pretty impressed by this Columbus crowd. Their team has been nearly as irrelevant as ours the past 10 years. They just fired their GM. They are actually worse than us somehow.

And they are still there with their "Let's go Jackets"

 

[yasky]

Dunno which Sabres dad that is on the far left but his "I'd rather be anywhere else" face says it all. And they're winning.

 

[Intermission]

Dan Dunleavy done calling the game?

 

[Chainshot]

Nice stick from Greenway.

They'll be good soon

I wonder in the end how UPL's hips are going to hold up long term to this extra workload ?

But I'm pretty happy for him.

 

[Chainshot]

Feels that way. If they get Celebrini, it'll go even faster. So much to work with there right now, just the coach is overmatched. And we know what that's like (see the last 8 years of Sabres hockey).

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

They'll be good soon

People have been saying this for 11 years. Will see how management changes. I don’t have any hope for this cbj team.

 

[Chainshot]

Still keep icing... *clap*clap*clapclapclap*

Ride him until it's mathematical.

 

[Beerz]

29 seconds left and Bryson on ic3

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Pretty sure there should still be 2 seconds left on the PP for us.

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

Jesus that game was ROUGH... But it's a win.

 

[Fezzy126]

 

[Chainshot]

My favorite play of the game though?

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

Clifton should have cost them the game right there. Big save by upl.

 

[yasky]

G: A win....
B: ....by 1 goal over the Blue Jackets
U: At least 58 minutes of this game, give or take.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

2 in a row??

 

[Dingo44]

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Clifton needs one more to equal Lybushkin's 2 goals from last season.
