He's learned how to use that reach advantage.

He also puts his shot on net now

I do think that when Jokiharju & Samuelsson get back into the lineup, the ship is going to get righted. I'm not going to lie...this stretch has been rough.

Kale Clague was sent back down to Rochester today.


Kinda seems to me like one of the Sabres D is coming back soon; today's Buffalo News noted that Jokiharju is getting closer to making it back into the lineup.

The defense has been horrid without Samuelsson and Jokiharju. Even with those guys its so young. Power is 19. The argument could be made he needs to be in Rochester this season. While I like Fitzgerald, he gets overwhelmed at times. Jacob Bryson is all of 5' 9" and was moved all the way up to #1 pairing with Dahlin. He's fast and he tries hard, but he's 5' 9". Loved the addition of Lybushkin initially. He is physical, but overall not a great defender. They need Samuelsson & Jokiharju back.

Power needs to shoot more when he's handling the puck in the offensive zone. He's too timid because he's new. He's too focused on trying to set up his new teammates.

Not sure what to make of this team. We knew the hot start wasn't sustainable because they're not really that good. But they should be better than a 5 game losing streak.

Now getting dumped on by Vancouver.

I thought we would finish bottom 5 but the hot start really got me going

Re: 2022-2023 Sabres Thread

Just think of those wonderful draft prospects.

Re: 2022-2023 Sabres Thread

So many reasons

Defensemen pinch to keep puck in and the forwards fail to rotate back
Not clearing out players in front of our goalie
Losing pucks in our own corner constantly
Faceoff % doesn't look good. I don't have the actual stats
Goaltending isn't getting much help.
Opponents standing 5 feet in front of our net all alone

2 on 1 breaks by our opponents is a constant. I never remember seeing so many. Our forwards get caught floating or in too deep all the time.

The scheming on D is currently bad.

Between the Bills and Sabres, Buffalo pro sports are 0 for November.
