Kevin Sylvester's Sabres Blog

Kevin lässt sich mal wieder aus! Thema heute: Die Abwehr in genauerer Betrachtung und Vanek und Lalime in genauerer Betrachtung!

2 Auszüge:

Great to see Thomas Vanek and Derek Roy dominate a game.  Both were due to "break out" and control a game and they each did that against the Islanders. 
Vanek was the offensive force he was last season before suffering the broken jaw.  Roy got his first goal of the season, but also went 14-0 on face offs.  That is a remarkable number.

Lindy is not afraid to play Lalime.  He and any coach will play Ryan Miller as much as he can without burning him out. 

Why wouldn't he?

Last week was the right time to play Miller in all three games in four nights.  The team was on a roll and there was three days until the next contest.  That's actually the case until the last week of November when the schedule really condenses.  Lalime will be needed then.

Tja, was soll man dazu noch sagen ... Lindy und Co. wollen Lalime nicht zu oft spielen lassen - irgendwo verständlich, er kommt nicht mal ansatzweise an Miller's Leistungen heran und ist für Ryan einfach kein nennbarer Ersatz. Ich denke, die Zeichen stehen im Sommer auf Abschied - oder sogar noch davor...

Um wen geht's heute nur? Genau - Tyler Myers!

Auszug:

The question you have to ask and project is this, "would you rather have Tyler Myers at age 19 or age 26?"  The simple answer is at age 26 because he projects to be a much better hockey player then and if his contract term doesn't start this year, a much cheaper one than the free agent version.  On the flip side of that is this: he projects to be better then, because he's already good now.  By keeping him, the Sabres are gaining this year of play ahead of schedule.

Here comes the opinion part:  there is no chance he gets sent back to Kelowna and doesn't stay on the roster.  The Sabres could keep him here to practice, pay him and not play him to keep three years remaining on the contract.  However, you could argue that he has been the Sabres best defenseman (Craig Rivet even said it on Monday), so that doesn't make any sense.  The team is winning, the kid is good, and I wouldn't mess with it.  The big thing is not to overwhelm him now with the weight of winning, the city, and overzealous expectations thanks to the 6-1-1 start.

Und da hat Kevin völlig recht, Myers kann man einfach nicht mehr zurück nach Kelowna schicken! Wenn Regier das macht gehört er endgültig geschlagen! Schon interessant, wie ein 19-jähriger derzeit in den Medien speziell rund um Buffalo für Schlagzeilen, Gesprächsstoff und Diskussionen sorgt!

Auszug:

It's good to see Thomas Vanek back at practice on the line with Derek Roy and Drew Stafford.  My guess is that he would have played last weekend if it were March or the playoffs, but it made sense to hold him out this early in the season.  Let's hope his upper body injury is able to withstand the pounding in front of the net on the power play, because he is needed on that top unit.

Habe es ja schon ein paar mal geschrieben, die Line Vanek-Roy-Stafford könnte in den nächsten Jahren zu einer der Toplines in der NHL werden, Kevin bestätigt das auch nicht zum ersten Mal. Aber: Könnte...

Kevin's Rückblick auf die ersten 4 Spiele!

Schönster Auszug:

Ryan Miller is loving that to the tune of a GAA of 1.23 and save percentage of .945.  The only player ahead of him that has played at least four games is Phoenix's Ilya Bryzgalov with a staggering GAA of .0.98 and Save percentage of .960.

Kevin's Sicht zum 1. Seasonspiel gegen die Habs!

Bemerkenswert:

It's just one game, but I think Tyler Myers can unpack his suitcase.

Zu Deutsch: Myers soll seine 7 Sachen aus dem Koffer holen und in die Sabres Kabine hängen !

So, mal einen neuen Thread für den Blog Schreiber der Sabres! Heute hat er einen Bericht rausgelassen, wie er die Divisions einschätzt und wo er welches Team setzt.

N' büschen mutig, die Sabres hinter Boston an 2 zu setzen in der Northeast und Montreal nur auf 4...! Ansonsten muss ich sagen, schätzt er die Southeast und Atlantic sehr gut ein !
