Benson is pretty decent working the boards, shame he's so small though.

First win all year where they didn’t score 3 or more.

PP sucked a big one again tonight but didn’t cost them two points

Gonna start to hear whispers of Luukkonen and the Vezina if he keeps this up.

Best goalie in the league since Jan 1st.

Not on a losing team unfortunately. Scorers still aren’t scoring. I road win is a road win but if you told me before toe season that UPL would be a top goalie and are PK would be pretty good, I would have thought we’d be solidly in the playoffs.

Btw, Krebs played a ton tonight it seemed and on the PP. wonder if they’re showcasing him for a trade?

All but eliminated. No more pressure.

Start to win.

No changes needed “this team is good enough”

Rinse repeat.

Didn’t watch the game. But scrolled Twitter.

I assumed we won like 5-1 and Krebs had 3-4 points.

To my surprise he had 0.

So that’s 0 points in 4 games since being moved off the 4th line. But Girgensons scored.

He did have the solo rush and ensuing faceoff win to lead to the GWG.

The Benson-Krebs-Peterka have now won the analytics battle in 3 of the 4 games they have played together.

Least of our problems is Krebs

Savoie with a 4 point night.

Up to 47 points in 23 WHL games this year.

I don’t think he’s a problem. I think people are desperate for him to be something he isn’t

He looked like a player tonight. He's looked good on an offensive line. Alas, he still isn't scoring.

Right. I just don’t get the constant imploring for him to get a ton of opportunities.

Last 4 games he’s been on the ice for two goals for. Sweet. No points, a couple nice plays. Nothing special

On ice goals/60 5 on 5 he’s the 3rd worst forward behind 28 and Jost.

I just don’t get it

Definitely had some looks, made Gudbranson look like a fool. Needs to work on that shot.

His calling card was never goal scoring. He did have some of the highest A1 rates in the WHL that we have ever seen.

He is, and always will be, a playmaker.

In 4 games with Benson and Peterka they have an xGF% of 64.5%. They have an actual GF% of 50% being on the ice for 2 goals for and 2 goals against.

Keep playing well, and the goals will come. At the very least, it’s a solid middle 6 forward line and if Tage and Skinner wake the Frank up we are in a good spot

Krebs best game as a Sabre. If anyone could finish he would've had about that many. Tarasov had a hell of a game.

“Sabres best seasons by 5v5 GF% since 2007/08

1. 2010/11: 96 points
2. 2007/08: 90 points
3. 2023/24: 80 points (on pace for)
4. 2009/10: 100 points
5. 2011/12: 89 points”

More evidence that special teams do in fact matter
