GDT: Preseason Game 4: Sabres at Penguins 7 PM

[Chainshot]

RyJo breaking up a 2-on-1? Nice.

 

[Dingo44]

Good play on that 2 on 1 by RyJo

 

[HOOats]

RyJooo with Greenway to clean it up.

 

[zuikan]

Just waive Bryson, or whatever.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

RyJo looks like a sure fire NHL’er … and very possibly a Top 4 guy

Power-Ryjo

Not making Shayna Goldman eat her words this period. Regardless of who's in or out of the lineup, the style of d-zone play is not encouraging.

Huh? What did she say?

 

[Sound_n_Fury]

Huh? What did she say?

Sabres' big question: Is Buffalo strong enough without the puck to match the hype?

Buffalo took a step forward last year, but it hasn't turned the corner just yet. Much of that stems from its play on the back end.

Just waive Bryson, or whatever.

Talk about no toolbox

 

[Tijuana Donkey Show]

I was comparing him to Girgs and Okposo. Dude is always in the right place defensively. Like always.

At the risk of beating a dead horse, I think it’s why the lines at the end of last year were better. Greenway and Mitts provide a bit of much needed toughness to the top 6.

I am cautiously optimistic about Greenway this year.

Thats a pretty silly thing to post. Not having our top 6 dmen in the lineup matters. Not having several forwards in the lineup matters. Especially with the Pens icing what they are.

Agreed … you can’t take too much from this game. You can however see how guys like Rosen, Biro, Kulich and Ryan Johnson look pretty good against NHL competition.

Yep. Thats about all that can be gleaned from preseason games, how the youngsters look.

And Comrie! Look at him go!

 

[Ace]

I would describe Kale Clague’s game tonight as Kale Clunk

Yeah I’m good on seeing anymore of him on the Sabres … in my opinion RyJo has passed both him and Bryson and it’s not particularly close.

 

[stokes84]

Every time the puck went to the point tonight, the play was basically dead.

Talent matters, for sure. That's why I said who's in or out of the line up. But the coaching staff seems content to not do anything about how they play in their zone, even if it's AHL-ers and prospects and not the top 6. Fire wagon hockey isn't going to cut it this year.

He stinks

 

[Ehran]

Yeah, I had this impression as well. Just a matter of such a mix of random players who don't know what to expect? Not sure.

 

[GrierIsGod123]

Tage is not good with the goalie pulled…his IQ just lacks so bad

 

[Beerz]

Craftsman

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

Tage's decision making with the puck tonight was not at it best...

 

[Dingo44]

Gusty effort against the Pens All-Stars. Jarry had to make some great saves to keep the game tied for most of it. I'm happy with a lot of what I saw. Definitely better than expected considering the talent difference.

 

[GrierIsGod123]

Tage's decision making with the puck tonight was not at it best...

It’ll be interesting to see if an NHL team can make the playoffs with him as their 1C. He’s a unique case around the league as he’s very good offensively but terrible on the other end and has bottom tier hockey sense.
