Key takeaways after game

Created by: gerowrj16
Team: 2019-20 Buffalo Sabres
Initial Creation Date: Oct. 7, 2019
Published: Oct. 7, 2019
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
- Montour needs to have a quick recovery (but obviously 100% healthy) and have Scandella as the extra defenseman
- It's time for Rodrigues to get his shot on the second line with MOJO and Skinner. All goals that have been contributed by the second line have been all Skinner and MOJO not a sign of Sobotka in the plays. Rodrigues will for sure contribute more then Sobotka
- GIve Dahlin more minutes and stop babying him, 4th in TOI again....
- Sabres learned once again that not coming out of the gate in the beginning of the first will hurt the outcome of the game. They came out flying the first two games and won but started out slow tonight, got two goals on them in the first and had no goals in return.
- Hopefully Eichel has learn his mistake of not playing with the puck in OT and won't trying doing it again
-Besides the slow start in the first, the team had a decent game the last two periods and hopefully will learn and grow from a loss
-Dress Gilmour for the Canadians game and have Scandella as a 7th D just incase

1000% agree about playing ERod over Vladimir I'm Sobbing. Sabres played a lot slower this game. Big OOF with Eichel's mistake but other than that he played well. Glad we could get a point, we certainly didn't deserve one

It was mentioned several times that the ice was in pretty rough condition. That hurts better skating teams

I am constantly bemused by how may fans dump on Scandella, yet RK is playing him a lot. Only McCabe and Ristolainen have more 5 on 5 or PK ice time than he. Only Dahlin has a better Corsi for than Scandella. Every one wants to play Jokiharju over Scandella yet Henri has as more give away than the rest of the defense combined. Let’s settle down before we anoint Jokiharju with more ice time and give him time to develop his defensive game (remember Ristolainen was rushed). Every one wants to pile on Marco but we forget his first year here he was paired with Ristolainen while playing top LHD minutes and last year only Dahlin had more defenseman goals than he last year.
The entire team played poorly in Columbus. In part Buffalo came out flat, but the Jackets were certainly fired up as well. As Shibbal18 correctly pointed out, Dahlin was called for 2 penalties that led to goals and Jack had the terrible give away in OT that led to the winning goal, but we seem to want to blame Marco for the loss. Yet he was on the ice for only one of the Jackets goals (a PP goal let me add),

Jokiharju is Scandellas d partner and has made him look good, thats why he gets inflated ice time. Scandella has been better, this so far has been the best season for him in a Sabres uni (season is still young). But Scandella has hit his ceiling, hes a bottom pair guy and way over paid for it. Jokiharju has a much higher ceiling and is already playing at the level of Scandella. Thats why he should get the nod. I also havent seen anyone blame Scandella for the loss, but if they are thats just stupid.

I know Nylander had a great preseason and good opening game, but probably no one was happier to see Jokiharju in a Sabre uniform than I. I just do not want to see him rushed, defensemen need more time and with the number of solid NHL defensemen on the roster, IMO it would be better for him to be in Rochester.
Second, no one should be blaming Marco, as he was only on the ice for one of the Jackets goals and that was on a PK. The team was badly out shot, badly out hustled, badly our chanced, the loss was a team effort. I hope they wake up in time for tonight game.
On the other hand that is a new twist, the player with more give away is making his partner look good! I agree that Marco is over paid, but he is still a solid NHL defenseman with a very hard shot. Since he is our 6th or even 7th defenseman, it is amazing how much the defense has been improved in one year. At the close of the 2017-18 season he was our top LHD with only Ristolainen playing more minutes than he. Now it is universally recognized that only injuries will keep him in the line up.

Scandella has been playing well. I have no problem with his game. Man has the most unique slap shot in the league and probably has one of the hardest ****s too. Would like Gilmour to get some reps and swapping out Scandella is the obvious choice.
