GDT: Assorted Cutlery Vs Electoral College - 2pm

[sabremike]

Hey Tage Thompsson. was the first Sabres 50 goal scorer in 25 years, according to them

"Really?"

 

[Abraham de Lacy]

Zach Benson punches way above his own weight

 

[StlSwedes]

I don't know if he's a top 4, but he plays a clean simple game that you need. His future doesn't include PP time but a nice piece like Tony Lydman who can play top 4 minutes occasionally. The 2005-06 was such a solid team with so many key but not spectacular guys like him.

Dahlin and Power will get the only PP time in Buffalo for the foreseeable future.

I don't think he is a top 4 either. But I think he has the potential to develop into a top 4 and given the make up of our D room I like his chances to grow and have the opportunity to grab a spot.

Vaclav Varada?

I have a Varada jersey I treasure.

 

[Abraham de Lacy]

YES

 

[VaporTrail]

It's the scoreboard broadcast, so it's just what's playing in the arena.

Agreed. But with a more balanced D, he could see 18-20 minutes a night with a chance to make some big plays. Dahlin & Power played ridiculous minutes in some games and we need guys like Johnson who are not sheltered playing 10-12 minutes a night because they are barely NHL material.

 

[Weltschmerz]

Which goal on Comrie was bad?

Broadcast sucked. Sabres had good looks in the first (I only watched the first) but the first 20 minutes were all special teams. Kulich hit the post 2 minutes in on a 1T.

Bryson didn't impress.
Greenway got himself to the net.
Krebs got put in a more offensive role and did well with it.

Good start, at some point later in the first caps took over, comeback in the third.

JJ's goal SO goal and Biro's SO winner-



Benson's goal -

 

[MOGlLNY]

I’m hearing Benson was awesome? Only got to check glimpses as I was apartment hunting.

 

[old kummelweck]

Underwhelmed by Rosen.

 

[Jacob582]

Lineup notes:

- all LHD (Metsa did not dress)
- Krebs and Jost served as alternate captains

 

[WiHockeyGuy]

I love Stillman. Pump this sort of stuff directly into my veins.

Competition check
None of the prospects separated themselves in the competition for the Sabres’ final roster spot at forward. Jiri Kulich hit the post on the power play but none of his six shot attempts were on net. Isak Rosen had two shots on goal. Lukas Rousek overpassed on a scoring chance in the second period after making a similar error in the Saturday scrimmage.

Evaluating defense
This game was an opportunity for the Sabres to get a closer look at their depth on defense. Riley Stillman and Jacob Bryson were solid, particularly the latter with his breakouts and gaps in the defensive zone. They’re expected to start the season as Buffalo’s seventh and eighth defensemen, but it was important for Granato and his staff to see how Kale Clague, Jeremy Davies and Ryan Johnson fared in this setting.

Johnson didn’t look like a rookie. He made some impressive plays in his own end and broke up a few passes on a Capitals power play late in the second period.

He and Clague where a hot mess at times.
