Krebs has been pretty good so far as a 3rd line centre.
- Jammerz04


So since 2/15 (around the time they used him at 3C)0, his stats except for actual production look good. I'd like to see him become much better on the dot... He's not horrible, but is still less than 50%. Get the FO win rate to say 55% and that would be a feather in his Cap.

Back to his actual production, he has produced 5pts in 20 games... That's 0.25 ppg pace and below what we should expect of a 3C ... which I'd like a 0.45 (36 pts) would be a decent target for a 3C. Part of that is finding chemistry with his linemates. Get him better linemates!

Worried that Donnie just doesn't trust him? We're calling him a 3C, but Donnie is playing him less than with LOG.

Zemgus is incredible, obviously. He has a deep love and passion for the Sabres and Sabres organization. He’s put in so much work over the years. Everything matters to him – everything. ... He entered the league young and he learned a lot, so you see a very experienced guy as a result.”

Everyone should relax. We'll have Jack Quinn back next year and he'll save us. He is the chosen one.

We watch the games too. He should focus on his on-ice results. Not getting 15 points is a huge disappointment.
Maybe he could be on the Cheer Team?

I thought you stopped watching the games?

As a season ticket holder, I don’t feel shorted by Girgensons effort. He consistently plays a fast game and battles in the trenches .

Clearly his lack of scoring is a huge negative to his overall game

Is Girgs what they need on the 4th line? Not questioning his work ethic, but he's slow, not much of a hitter, and has 1 fight in his last 5 years. When they talk about needing guys to get them going and drag them into the game, that's not Girgs.

Kev might be seeing that they need something different. If Beane can cut Tre, Terry can live without Girgs.

No, he can barely stay on his feet, almost sh!t himself with excitement last night on that partial breakaway. Got so excited he knocked the puck into the Corner. He Breeds loosing and nothing else.

Change might to definitely and I'd agree about them needing something different.

On your last sentence, there is a massive different between the way each team is run.

Gus was the second-best Larry on the team 5 years ago and the better Larry went home to Valhalla after his time was up in the NHL. This Larry has the world's strangest ownership fan club captain in Terry Pegula

Zem is not slow, come on now. He’s definitely not a fighter or goal scorer .

He’s an effort guy with speed and shot blocking type grit.

Seams obvious why they love him

"All respect to the fans, but please do not vote for me in the all-star game this year! Things like this have to be earned!" If that doesn't say it all, by Zemgus himself. Oh my! Trade the SOB and more of these mediocre players that have contributed nothing to this team. Kev should be working on multiple trades this summer and multiple coach firings. Does anyone really think this team can win more than three games in a row...no...why do they still list this team in the playoff hunt? Everyone already knows the answer...several years away with this leadership.

Skipped the question. Is that what this team needs on their 4th line?

His speed is below average. He's lost a few steps, and was never fast to begin with.

Girgensons is a fine 4th line energy guy with speed.

Management loves the guy
