Owen Power Considered Day To Day | Buffalo Sabres Coach Don Granato Ahead Of Tilt Against Montreal

For Ryan Johnson that you’ve talked about with young players many times maybe just give him a breath and and give him a break yeah I think it’s an opportunity to decompress a little bit see see the game from a different uh angle and perspective and get a moment

To breathe which is not something it’s a luxury uh for a guy his age to to kind of have a have that uh take a moment to breathe and and uh reset did you sense it Monday was just one of those games where he had one tough play and it

Became a second it became a third he just he just couldn’t get out of it yeah that that was a tougher tougher game for him and and obviously Eric is his partner that that they both uh had some challenges and and I think it just um

You know Cay is is is the or was the seventh guy the other night um he has plenty of experience with us and we have plenty of trust and confidence in him um so it’s it’s easy to slide him in um he he’s been ready to go he keeps himself

Ready to go and consequently give um Ryan that moment to uh to to breathe a little bit and get a different different view C said he felt like last year he earned your trust as coaches but he he also feels he’s better this year than he

Was last year is that the reports you’ve gotten from Seth and what you’ve seen from him he is better he was better day one of Camp even and through training camp than he was last season and um that was one thing that we one reason why we

Really wanted him back here um was as coaches here um we we he earned our trust you know through the course of last year um even in exit meetings we expressed our you know our desire as coaches that uh you know hope that he would he would be back with us um and

Then even through training camp explaining to him and and he knew you know that just the message was stay ready for your opportunity um and in the process keep getting better because you’ve done a great job of that both of those uh and and that’s what his career

Is going to be made upon he’s going to be he’s going to have to keep making himself better until the opportunity he comes and um I’m excited that uh where he’s at and that he gets an opportunity tonight you know we talked about Monday’s game and about the Finish but

Isn’t is the plan for this game is simply essentially play the same way given the number of opportunities you were able to generate well I mean this team tonight is pretty dynamic they have some Dynamic players uh and they get up and down the rink pretty quick so um you

Know we’d love to have as many chances as we had the other night um but you definitely need to play with some some solid structure against this team and um you know it’s of course when you get the number of chances you had last night and the

And the guys that had the chances and the fact that they were many point blank um you’d take that any night and and and go from there um you know we didn’t make a lot of mistakes the other night I would be happy with that if we’re

Talking about what to do minimize the mistakes and we did minimize them the other night we just got burned on um but but we made far far fewer mistakes than uh than maybe we forced and that was unfortunate you guys are fre in one in your last four times here just what kind

Of buzz does any team get from playing in this place well it it is a buzz playing in this place you know it’s um the history in this building or in you know in the Montreal organization um you know even in this building this building

Is um um is loud and and crazy and the guys feel it even before your preparation you know it you know what you’re going into so uh it’s something that uh it’s easy for hockey players to get excited uh playing in a Canadian city and specifically this one oh and uh

Was back today but he had the yellow Jersey on is he still a little ways away yeah it to you know we’ll get a gauge now um but it’s it’s really um you know a pain tolerance and a vulnerability you saw him taking shots and moldman and motion so there’s only a couple

Movements that give him pain or needs to strength in that area um and so I’ll get the report on how how those progressed from yesterday when he skated um and and so you know from that that means it’s dayto day now and we’ll see how fast that last you know bit of pain
