GDT: Game 5: Sabres vs Coyotes - 10/13 9pm ET (MSG-B, WGR 550)

[Chainshot]

Am I too into this team when I have a concern that Jan-Axel Alaavara is no longer part of the scouting staff

Get you a dad that looks at you the way Rasmus Dahlin’s dad looks at him.

I dont think in particular has been getting booed but I think the home environment hasnt been great.

Guys regrouping behind our own net get heckled because they aren't moving the puck enough. Team had amazing possession the other night for like 3 minutes, but booed because there weren't enough shots. The atmosphere at home games have been tense, other than when we took a big lead on VGK

Ehh, ya some, but it doesn’t really mesh with what we’ve seen. The kid has just kept improving every game. To be honest I doubt the home fans being disappointed with his veteran teammates have done anything, but keep him motivated and hungry.

I could see it if they had been booed relentlessly and it was Christmas and he was not playing well. But he seems to have hit the nhl running.

Now if playing away let Risto stop doing stupid things, I could see the benefits of away game crowds.

Why not?

I think you keep it to hockey guys. Especially after hearing how enamored Pegula was with Josh Allen's arm and cold weather experience before the NFL draft. He might have had no say, but why even have him there?

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Oof, showing Pegula sitting in the scouting meetings before the draft. Why?

I'd support a go fund me for the Pegula's to join Elon Musk up on his plan to migrate to Mars. As long as Terry and Kim leave sufficient wealth in a Sabres Trust account to run the franchise......

Because he's the owner and there's no way he wouldn't be in the room. Who's going to tell him no?

 

[MayDayMayDay]

I'm not worried about Risto. It's game five in a long season. He'll find his form, just needs to simplify things and stop trying to do too much.

Are there any Swedes left to draft? Like in the entire country?

 

[Moskau]

His "form" has been bad for 2 years now.

 

[Sabreality]

Ullmark has been really good, was a tad worried with his lack of work early, made some big saves

 

[joshjull]

Watching this Skinner interview and all I can think is ..... My god Rayzor’s head is huge.

 

[Beerz]

Skinner is the dick I thought he would be

I think he found his form. That’s the problem.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Yep. No one is going to tell him no. Most of us are blind to our own inadequacies. Especially those that we think we excel at.

And that's why we're married....... our wives usually have no hesitation pointing out our limitations.....

It’s an enormous anvil. The amount of knuckles that cracked on that egg.... infinity.

I literally just looked him up after the B and G and saw he’s with Adler Manheim now. He got us Dahlin, Ullmark, Oloffson, and a few others right while with Modo?

 

[BananaSquad]

Sheary seems to be fitting right in.

 

[Gras]

The Rasmi out together to start the period

 

[Samsonite23]

Nice backcheck Jack

We drafted the last Rasmus in Sweden, so his time with us was finished.

 

[joshjull]

Dahlin/Risto
Scandel/McCabe

To start the period.

Ha. I mean as long as he is just watching it sounds like what I would do if I owned the team.

Now if he is piping in with “opinions” and “direction”, not good.

 

[EichHart]

I thought Pegula liked Rosen more? The NFL guys wanted Allen.

 

[JackTheRipper]

That moment when you acquire a 2x cup winning top 6 LW for a conditional 3rd and a pittance of a cap dump....

Sheary was a fantastic add. I truly think he has untapped potential. He can be a 25-30 goal scorer on this team playing with Jack.

That trade looks more ridiculous every game. Amazing move by Botts.
