Rangers wanted it more and it wasn’t even close. Pathetic effort. Out coaches and out classed. Still too much dead weight on this roster. KA didn’t do enough.
Nobody should be put in the "Good" categoryI can name 3 guys on the 4th line that played better and people are putting him the top 3.
Sure, but this is the only game I can comment on. This may be a flash in the pan, or it could be a foreshadowing sort of game. We will see where they take it. But I’ve seen this game too many times these past few seasons.you know what they look liike? a team that had a bad night
0.08 xGF is terrible. That tweet is a criticism of Olofsson being #4 in minutes and doing nothing positive with itI really don't get the sentiment that he's been good this game.
It is also a testament to how bad the rest was.0.08 xGF is terrible. That tweet is a criticism of Olofsson being #4 in minutes and doing nothing positive with it

well..one guy has had a couple good years in a row while the other has torpedoed every single line he is on. It is a tough one.Wish I could pin that all on him but Cozens was a tire fire all on his own. *shrug* Maybe it helps to swap them around but Dylan's anal-cranial inversion tonight didn't help. But this spectacularly bad.
Power was a complete train wreck in his own end.I thought Dahlin was solid and Benson way above what I expected for a first game. Top six were invisible. Peterka scored, so he gets a pass. Power was good too. I am undecided about Levi.
That tweet is nice reminder why I’m not a fan of Sabres twitter.
For starters its not true.
-VO was 6th in 5v5 ice time and 5th in ES.
-VO had an on ice xGF of .13 and right near the .15 Cozens had. Which should be expected since they were linemates and thats not an individual stat.EDIT: Obviously it sucks for both.
It’s just the usual attack on a whipping boy that Sabres twitter thrives on. One where they count on their followers to bite on their disingenuous framing.
I’m not fan of VO but he was hardly the issue tonight. Start with our top guys not getting it done at all. I’d don’t think VO playing mattered one way or the other.
LMAO! For starters it is true.That tweet is nice reminder why I’m not a fan of Sabres twitter.

if its that easy is it even a relevant number then?LMAO! For starters it is true.
That tweet was from during the game. You’re comparing it to the stats from the end of the game.
You understand the difference between .08 and .13 xGF is like 1 shot on goal right?
And the difference between Olofsson being 4th or 5th among Sabres forwards at EV Toi was 3 seconds?
Pretty easy for someone’s xGF to go up by .05 and their EV Toi to change by 3 seconds over a single shift, let alone the final 10 minutes of the period from when the tweet was posted.
That’s like saying shots on goal or shot attempts aren’t a relevant number.if its that easy is it evcen a rele

I respect you, but Cozens was ass all preseason and he was ass tonight. I simply cannot put that squarely on Olofsson. That’s said, these lines were among Granato’s worst, and I can’t believe he didn’t shake them up.He’s had the exact effect on Cozens he had on Mittelstadt and Tage when paired with them.
I have to agree , especially in front of home crowd . I think the dead weight did well , oloffson etc.Rangers wanted it more and it wasn’t even close. Pathetic effort. Out coaches and out classed. Still too much dead weight on this roster. KA didn’t do enough.

He was carrying Joker's dead weight most of the evening. That said, i agree that he struggled at times. Power might hit a bit of a sophomore slump.Power was a complete train wreck in his own end.
Why the hell does he keep playing with Joker, I don't understand it at all.He was carrying Joker's dead weight most of the evening. That said, i agree that he struggled at times. Power might hit a bit of a sophomore slump.
I honestly don't know. do we have someone else who can step in and play that role? I feel like a solid stay at home defensive defenseman might be a huge boon for power.Why the hell does he keep playing with Joker, I don't understand it at all.
