“We Needed Redemption” | Buffalo Sabres Coach Don Granato After Win Against Calgary Flames

Don you talked earlier about Alex and Tage and the work they’ve been put in was that exactly what you were talking about on the winning goal I thought they had uh a great game and we needed them to have a great game JJ was also very

Good uh with them uh petka and obviously a big goal in the third period just playing simple put a puck behind and pressure him and um through that pressure JJ’s wide open in front of the net so uh nice to see and obviously uh the result was what we wanted with them

Being on the second night of a back toback was that the message going to the third just keep it simple try to wear them down and try to earn your offense uh absolutely we knew um you know we we were sloppy the other night in Edmonton

Uh I think everybody in that locker room knew it and you know we didn’t protect Opie the way we we know how to and and we got careless in the end um so we needed uh a little Redemption to to play the right way uh you know through 60

Minutes and I thought thought we did that uh and it was obviously a very very challenging game game it’s good to see Payton score especially in this building with the people I’m sure he had in attendance it is and I like the way he scored uh you know Skinner was there to

Support and uh slashed across the rink um Rusk got an assist on the play uh so you know and he shot the puck with authority he leaned into it and uh very nice to see any update on styling we saw him leave the game shortly late in the

Third yeah he’s gonna take a few stitches but he’ll he’s good so that’s the report I got um so should be should be fine now you switched up the pairs and put darene with Yoki again you know what what did you see what kind of led

To just that that look later in the game you know they were so good together uh a couple weeks ago even and and just familiarity um and I thought that uh you know bo bo was well just something you know I didn’t like our second period um

And was looking for something you know any tweak we can make and you know you know those guys are familiar and I think uh you know Bo and Bo and uh one lit up to play together a little bit too so so it was nice nice to have those options
