26CornerBlitz Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 On 12/6/2018 at 12:06 PM, 26CornerBlitz said: Secondary scoring has dried up along with the issues with the PP. They should have more success in the next few games against a softer schedule. Well these remain problems after Saturday's game against the Flyers. Need to get well against the Kings and Ducks before weekend tilts against the Caps and Bruins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 12-11: Phil Housley with Howard and Jeremy on WGR (11:11) #Sabres head coach Phil Housley joins Howard and Jeremy next for his weekly visit on WGR! Tune in: Housley - it's one of those things. You get into a bit of a rut. I haven't minded the way we've played over the last few games, but we have to find ways to win games. Saturday was one of those days, though, where we were off. #Sabres Housley - There were certainly some areas of concern with our game Saturday, especially our play away from the puck. The shorthanded goal took the wind out of our sails and we didn't respond the right way. There will be games like that, but I didn't like how we finished. #Sabres Housley - We need to finish games. Especially the games in Tampa and against Toronto, we have to keep putting the puck behind them and force them to make mistakes. We did a terrific job of that during the win streak. #Sabres Housley - If we play the right way, we will get results. If we play more consistently, we will give the fans the best play we can. #Sabres Housley - if you're having trouble scoring, you have to go to the net and pay the price to score. We've gotten away from that in the last five games. Those are things that can help us turn things around. We have to get pucks to the net. #Sabres Housley - Our breakouts and timing is a bit off where we're not connected and can't gain entry into the offensive zone. We have to simplify things, get the puck on goal and converge to the net. Let's get set up and start firing pucks. #Sabres Housley - After Saturday's game against the Flyers, we came together and addressed some things that need to get better and move forward. We did a good job of recognizing those things and had a good practice yesterday. Hopefully that will reflect in our game tonight. #Sabres Housley - Our work, our checking detail and our work away from the puck was there for during the winning streak. We got away from that lately, and we have to get back to work as a five-man unit if we want to have a consistent result. #Sabres Housley - Hutton looked good yesterday, liked how he practiced. We'll see how things are this morning with him getting back tonight. #Sabres Housley - All of our injured guys are skating on their own, which is good to see with their rehab. #Sabres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 BUFFALO, N.Y. — It was inevitable Rasmus Dahlin was going to play a lot of minutes at a time in the NHL. What’s most striking is how quickly the Sabres rookie earned them regularly. After playing 20 or more minutes in a game four times in his first 18 games, including his NHL debut, Dahlin has played 20+ minutes in 11 of the past 12 games and has averaged 23:02 over that span. Dahlin’s time to shine has arrived and, while that’s not much of a surprise considering his talent and ability, it’s been a learning process for him. “I didn’t really come in with expectations. I didn’t know how it should go,” Dahlin said. “Of course everyone wants to play a lot of minutes, but now when I play I feel comfortable with a lot of minutes. It feels, of course, better. I feel more comfortable out there.” It’s well known that the 18-year-old defensive phenomenon had to adjust to playing both in the NHL and on the smaller ice surface in North America. But for any defensive prospect taken that high in the draft, the more anticipated progression is when the reins will loosen — and the rest will follow.

eball Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Too early to call out a "must win" tonight? Man, after all of those good feelings during the winning streak, and even some good play in the four games after, they need to get the taste of Saturday's debacle out of their mouths quick.

BringBackFergy Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Sorry, but that last goal was on Eichel. Dude gives the puck away so many times. He brought it into the zone and *boom* gives it away. Have seen it a lot recently. Kid needs to work the puck over to a winger. Yes, Dahlin missed a bouncing puck but it should have never come back that quick in our zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suorangefan4 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) They credited Skinner with the secondary assist but it should be Reinhart's. Reinhart passed it back to Risto who passed to Jack. I don't know why it's so hard for them to find people capable of crediting points correctly. They mess up quite often. Sometimes they correct it but sometimes they don't i.e. Mittelstadt not getting his assist against the Rangers about a month ago even though he clearly deflected the puck to Sheary.

I love the effort of Larrson and Girgenson's line, and I agree they could move up to the 3rd line, the rest of the team would feed off that energy more I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Great 3rd period by buffalo. Glad to see that resilient Sabres team show up again. 1st was ok. 2nd was just awful. But they won and ended the damn losing streak, so I’ll take it. Not sure it it should have even went to OT against a 30th place team playing a back to back. But a win is a win.
