In the lines this morning it was Sheary I think. Methinks the OT should start with Jack and Olofsson. Then you can go with Reinhart centering Skinner. And then Mojo with Vesey or Sheary.

Kelly the Dog Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Sheary is day to day with upper body. That’s why ERod is taking his place in lineup as of now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 5 hours ago, JohnC said: In the first three games the one player who has surprised me and caught my attention is Jokiharju. I didn't realize how good he is. He's 20 yrs old yet plays with a veteran's poise. He is a good skater but what sets him apart is his passing and composure. He never seems rushed yet he is quick to move the puck up the ice. The GM did well trading Nylander for him. I hope Nylander does well in Chicago but in the exchange the Sabres come out on the plus side. The addition of Colin Miller also was a good pickup by the GM. When Montour returns this very solid unit will even get better. Will Miller continue to be paired with Dahlin or will Montour be part of the top pairing? I don't know but there is good depth and plenty of options in putting together the pairings. Yeah, so far I was dead wrong about Joker not looking ready. I really didn’t think he looked ready in the preseason, though. He looked overmatched in his own zone and you weren’t seeing this smooth transition ability he’s known for that we are seeing now. But it just goes to show that we fans only see a small portion of what goes into these roster decisions. He must have been playing pretty well in practices and he’s sure looked pretty good so far in the games. As far as Nylander, I wish him well too. I fully expect that he could put up 20+ goals this season playing along side Patrick Kane. But even if he does, I expect that he will always be one of those maddening, inconsistent players that you KNOW damn well can give more on the ice. A player that disappears for (sometimes long) stretches and doesn’t contribute much else if he’s not adding offense. Who knows, he’s young. His work ethic and willingness to win puck battles could improve. But I wouldn’t bet on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His work ethic and willingness to win puck battles could improve. But I wouldn’t bet on it. I think the issue with Nylander is that he simply doesn't have the competitive personality/makeup where he will consistently play with intensity. He can episodically tantalize you with the impressive skilled play that will make you give him more time to come around. But something intrinsically is lacking. When you watch a player such as Skinner there is an intensity to his game that isn't induced by the coaches or his peers. It is an internal drive that can't be manufactured by outside influences. There comes a point where you have to trust your eyes. In the AHL Nylander had his lull spells that had to be addressed by his coaches. At the NHL level that type of languid play will be exposed and make you a liability as a player. I'm sure Nylander is trying hard. But in the end you are who you are. I'm glad that the GM made the trade to get Joki. Over the past year the GM has made deals to bring in Montour, Joki and Miller to rebuild the defensive unit. What he gave up to acquire these players was miniscule. The GM should be saluted for what he has accomplished in addressing that unit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find so many of his interviews fascinating to listen to. Agree with everything, especially the bolded text. That’s another reason I thought/think he might be a good fit. He’s an extremely knowledgeable hockey mind first and foremost. But he’s also somewhat of a sports psychologist and motivational speaker, and he knows how to reach people. Those traits aren’t something every coach has and Buffalo almost had a bit of a unique need for someone like that. Someone that could help repair the damage from tanking+years of losing. You can see it’s taken a toll on the players. I truly believe they are dying to win and just looking for someone to lay out a path they can really believe in and I’m very hopeful Krueger is doing that. I have a tendency to get a bit too excited about the Bills/Sabres at times (like Housley during the winter streak last year...) so I’m trying to take a more patient, wait and see approach to this season. But this is the most hopeful I’ve been about the Sabres in quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is the most hopeful I’ve been about the Sabres in quite some time. Ea A well thought out and stated post. We both agree that Krueger is a quantum leap up from the previous staffs. But I still contend that what distinguishes this year from last year beyond the coaching change is the addition of talent. Compared to last year this roster is upgraded. The additions of Johansson, Vesey, Miller, Joki, Olofsson (consider him an addition) added to the more experienced Mitts and Dahlin have elevated this team. This isn't a mutually exclusive argument between the effect of the new coach vs the added talent. Each side of this equation reinforces the other side of the equation. The organization has more talent and depth in the system than it did a few years ago. In the end talent prevails when properly led. I still believe that we are a year or two away from being a serious team. Some people snicker when I say it but the trajectory is up. What is even more enjoyable is not only is the team better but it is also more entertaining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I think RK gets more out of last season's roster than Housely. Phil just didn't know how to be a head coach, which isn't much of a surprise because he's never been one. I don't know how many head coaches with zero head coaching experience have been successful at the professional level.

But if Krueger was working with the same roster this year and with the same younger players that played last year there is a ceiling that he could have gotten out of that unit. I don't care how much of a wizard coach RK is he would not have gotten that lackluster team to the playoffs. As I have repeatedly said in prior posts the talent vs coaching argument is not a mutually exclusive argument. Each side of the equation reinforces the other side. Will RK lead this roster to the playoffs? Maybe? But for this team to be a seriously contending team it needs additional talent added to the roster. Although Ralph is good coach he isn't a magician.

K-9 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Perhaps Dahlin’s worst game as a pro and yet he still found a way to help us offensively. Jack atoned in a big way after the gaffe in Columbus. This team has only been together for a month and the coaches are still trying to figure out what they have. Nice to be banking points in the meantime. Friday will be a test as the Panthers match up well against us and always give us fits. Onward and upward. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I have consistently said to some of my critics on this issue is that the primary remedy for this lagging franchise was to improve the roster, and that it was going to take time. I believe that the GM has a good roadmap to address the roster, and that he was steadily implementing his plan. In my view he has especially done a stellar job this offseason to not only upgrade the roster but also maintain a good fiscal balance sheet to address future contracts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Some thoughts on this game. Jack was clearly the first star in this game. Johansson is a tremendous addition. We may have the best PP in the league. I really liked the way the Okposo-Larsson-Gergs line played. The Millstadt line is currently a no impact line. Although Risto made one glaring mistake that cost us a goal he is a workhorse. Hutton played well enough for us to win. Montreal is a fast, gritty and swarming team. Too often this tenacious team kept us bottled up in our defensive zone. What a terrific start to the season! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jauronimo Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Dahlin drop pass to no one and Oloffson abandoned his man to take the puck carrier already checked by Eichel. Horrible sequence on the short handed goal. Dahlin looks much stronger and playing with a little nastiness in his game this year. I guess he wasn’t kidding about being like Risto on his off-season workout videos. Speaking of Risto he has played very well. I don’t fault him for the PP goal. He hit a stick trying to clear it and floated to Armia. I hope he’s having fun again playing in Buffalo because it would be a shame not to get anything out of an undeniably talented young defenseman. The Power play is lethal. I want to see more 5 on 5 production. Vesey- Middlestadt - ERod are a liability at best. Can we do better than Sobotka with Skinner? It’s offensive. Krueger mercifully got the band back together at the end of the 2nd and Skinner almost buried one. Hutton looks very steady. I thought he looked generally panicky last season. When he gave up one another goal wasn’t far behind. Eichel 1 on 3 and buries one, are you kidding me?!? Filthy. His shot was dialed in tonight. Tough bounce on Montreal’s third goal but why is Miller chasing his guy behind the net? The goal is scored from where he was standing. He doesn’t get the puck and he’s not in position. Miller and Dahlin were shaky. I love Girgensons effort. I hope he scores a goal again, as unlikely as that may be. Okposo too. I wish he was a faster skater. I forget Larsson is still on the team. Way to survive Larry!!. Oloffson didn’t see the ice much or at all in the 3rd until the PP. Wonder what’s up with that? Krueger doesn’t trust the rookie late in close games?

He has the talent to come into the zone 1 on 3 make a few slick moves and score so you do not want to completely discourage him from being aggressive but the giveaways from holding the puck or trying to do too much are maddening. I haven't noticed it as much this year. I do recall him attempting identical ill fated horizontal passes two steps over the blue line in the offensive zone which were picked off and turned the other way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An interesting issue the coach will soon face is whom to pair Montour with when he comes back?

BillsFan4 Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 I am anxious to see how Buffalo stacks up against Florida tonight. If they want any shot at the playoffs, these are the teams (Montreal, Florida) that they’re likely to be competing with. Personally, I think the playoffs are probably a long shot this year (though I have some hope). I think the season will be more about fixing what’s broken. But it’s still a good measuring stick.
