I really don't like the 11-7....

rather would like to see Benson on a line with someone who can protect him

 

[Dubi Doo]

Granato confirmed he's going 11-7 tonight

Oh Granato, you've done a lot this season to make me go from an optimistic fan of yours to being incredibly concerned you're no the one to take this team to the next level.

Especially after the end of the jets game..

I'm starting to get there as well but Adams needs to get these old, useless players off this roster and figure out this insane goalie situation.

If the game was in Buffalo it probably wouldn't be played with the bombing on the Rainbow Bridge. No one from Canada would have gotten there as all the bridges are closed.

Wth .. when did that happen?

5-2 Sabres in a breeze. Happy Thanksgiving!

Can't admit Krebs play is deserving of a scratch

Sure he is. But not to play one less forward so Clifton and E Johnson can both play.

They can’t admit there are players deserving of a call up. Or defensemen deserving to sit.

 

[ForsbergMoDo21]

The lengths this front office goes to spare professional players’ feelings seems to tell us everything we need to know to understand why this team is flat and disorganized this year.

 

[Tatanka]

Need more cowbell

Has there been any confirmation that it was a bombing? I saw an explosion happened but I haven't seen any official confirmation it was a bomb. Two people in the car makes no sense. It didn't hit anyone else, which also makes no sense with it being a bomb. Seems much more likely someone's gas pedal got stuck and the explosion was from gas at high speeds becoming aerosol upon impact. The fire being bright orange also leads in the direction of an explosion from gasoline.

I keep seeing wildly different reports. I don't think anythings been confirmed yet

I don't think it has either which is why it surprised me to come here and see that it was a bomb apparently.

Name one guy in the system.

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

I think RyJo gets his first tonight... I just gotta feeling

 

[BuffaloGooner]

Going 11/7 again? Yuck.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Name one guy in the system.

Greenway?

Tuch and Tage if need be in that situation?

 

[Mattilaus]

Gonna go with Benson. It's game 9 for him and I think he will really be pushing it.

 

[Matt Ress]

Cozens normally but not as Gazoo

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

Forced their hand…but Granato still can’t bring himself to bench any of the D he’s outplayed by a mile.

Cant pick six D. Can’t pick 2 goalies. Can’t even find 12 forwards worth playing. But we still have to wonder if they’ll send Benson back?

Granato is being forced into an untenable situation by a bad GM. It’s embarrassing that we’re carrying 3 G and 8D.

No other coach has to deal with that. Granato probably isn’t all that great to begin with and he’s being purposely handicapped right at the beginning. We never had a chance.

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

f*** it. Both of them!

game 9 doesn't mean benson cannot be sent down to junior later on

he just burns an ELC year

 

[Mattilaus]

I agree, but you don't think burning a year of his ELC is motivation to him? You don't think it's a lot less likely he gets sent down if he goes past the 10 game mark?

 

[Snippit]

11 forwards is something you might do out of necessity on an emergency night when you don't have time to call someone up. To continue with it for multiple games is inexcusable.
