Can’t play everyone
And even though i think Krebs should be in the lineup, coaches will almost always fall back on playing the Vet over the young guy
It’s not just Donnie
That’s the norm
- jdfitz77

Most times, but we are supposed to be developing to, Krebs ain't developing eating Nachos without Jalapeños

True, but he's not playing. I want him playing
- Buff36

We all do my man. Honestly and sincerely, putting him out there and benching a guy on that third line can't make this team worse. I won't believe it.

You don't have to like it, no one here wants to lose. But almost everyone else can handle the discussion in here without actually trying to be a dckhead. You be you, just don't be surprised when you're attacked for being rude.
- TheSabresTaco

If I’m attacked when being rude, i deserve it

I also think the reverse is true
And u can substitute “whining” for rude imo as well

Like i said, i think Krebs should be in the lineup
Seems like people are making this out to be an issue specifically with Donnie though, and i don’t think it’s a “Donnie” issue
Pretty much all coaches do the same thing
Which again, i don’t agree with

Either play Krebs of send him down to play
Don’t think extended Press box time does much good at all

A waiver exempt top prospect does not usually get handled this way.

There used to be quality discussion on here
Now the site has devolved into crybabies coming here to rant

What can i say?
I’m not a fan

You are the biggest sh!t stirrer that comes to this blog.

Please do not talk about quality discussion, you do not know the meaning.

Debatable

Datsyuk played on the Red Wings 4th line for example
It worked out obviously
But i remember at the time Detroit fans were like,
“Wtf?!”
(i had family in Detroit at the time)

I’m literally in the middle of a decent discussion right now on here

Don't get it, Mitts is what he is. And right know he's a black ⚫️

Don't think it's Donnie, gotta be more to it.

That he could be on the move soon.

Pegula doesn't want more than 1.6milly in the presser

There's a KA element to this too, of course.

That he could be on the move soon.
- Buff36

Well, i guess we’ll see

If that’s all he said, I’d assume it just means he’s a name that’s come up in discussions
Could be the Sabres put his name out there & no one was interested- who knows?

It’s dumb
But that’s just what coaches tend to do

Even if the biggest Donnie fans will admit that he's killing Krebs.
- Lunaion

I'm a huge donnie granato fan.

He is not "killing krebs".

Krebs hasnt scored in 30+ games.
Krebs is killing krebs

17 games 0 goals 3 assists -4
Absolutely terrible.
On one of the highest scoring teams in the league.

5 goals 8 assists for Casey.

Basic analytics. One guy scores and makes a difference, one guy is terrible and makes no difference.

True, but 89 doesn't just spout things out usually, especially with the people on here.

- Lunaion

Agree

Mitts last 12 games. 6pts -9

Olo last 12 games. 3 pts -11

They're beyond bad together.
- DirtyDan

Now do donnie's other options

Krebs and asplund

Either guy averaging .5 points a game like mitts-?

Of course not.

Either guy on pace for 40 goals 😀

Either play Krebs of send him down to play
Don’t think extended Press box time does much good at all
- jdfitz77

Agreed. It's just a bad look at this point. Unless there's a pending trade going down soon, it just doesn't make any sense at this point.

Asplund-Girgs-Okposo was our best line the first 6-7 games. Donnie split them up to get other lines going.

Move jost “up”.

1st line
2nd line
Olo-mitts/krebs-jost
Assplund-Girgs-okposo

Funny you left out Caseys +/- but included Krebs...

Will Mitts and Olof keep those projections up? Most likely not. But they will continue to hurt this team more than help. Especially if kept together.

Mitts -9 on the year.

Krebs and Asplund +/- together = -5

90% of this hockey board is bi-polar. Few weeks ago we were calling Krebs the worst hockey player on this team.

Now Middlefat is in a slump and we think 140lb krebs will be better with his 3 points.
