Call up Helenius or let Thompson play center

I fully expect him back by Christmas... and out by New Years...

Dahlin and Thompson need to trade before they turn into Eichel and others who wanted out. Only issue is we cannot rely on Adams to get the right players back.

If it's the play I'm thinking of, the response against Zucker was disproportionate. But ok.

IMHO the only way Appert is HC next year is if Lindy gets canned during the season, Appert takes over (which would happen) and leads Sabres to a remarkable run. If not, a new GM comes in and selects his coaches and staff.

Norris injury is similar to last season, not in the same place though

Benson and Norris will not make the trip to Boston. Power will, according to Ruff.

Lines at practice today: Zucker Kulich Tage Quinn McLeod Tuch Doan Krebs Danforth Malenstyn Kozak Geertsen

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/gary-bettman-believes-sabres-terry-pegula-is-a-terrific-owner/ Well if he’s good enough for Gar Bear then we all should just be thrilled 😄 😂

I think it was in the 2nd, but he went to the net and gave Shesterkin's glove a couple whacks as he was covering the puck. We'd have wanted him dead if he had done that to UPL Lyon Comrie Hutton Anderson. We respected Anderson.

But mediocrity isn't the question. You keep everything else the same and swap out the center spines -- which group would you rather have? Eller and Evans are there to kill penalties and win d zone faceoffs, which they do. But Stutzle and Suzuki are so much better than anyone the Sabres can put at 1C that I take their full spines in a heartbeat over the list as shown. Boston is the only team that I clearly rank below the Sabres. McLeod is good. Kulich has some potential. Krebs is a JAG at this point who is poor in the dot. Kozak is a 4th/tweener.

Question for you all: I started watching at the beginning of the second period, and noticed that Zucker was taking a TON of abuse. Did he do something in the first that irritated the Rags?

I look at it this way; they’ve got 81 more games to look like a solid playoff contender. If not we’ll have a very eventful off season. I don’t agree with any of the comments insinuating we’d run it back again. There’s enough talent to attract a solid GM who could then attract a staff. Ergo, if I’m TP I’d not allow any major moves, extensions, etc.

Welcome to yet another dismal and futile season. Time to open that new bottle of baby saz.

This actually may the worst roster outside of Tage and Dahls in the last 14 years. No 1 pick here they come... late season surg isnt happening... sigh well guess I can cancel ESPN+ and MSG... I'm sad.

Wouldn't be so sure about that... But time will tell...

Isn't that Chicago's goal song?

Benson did earn the spot, but he shouldn't have been given the easy opportunity. Sign a veteran middle six guy (Tarasenko, Gustav Nyqvist, etc.) to replace Quinn until he's healthy, and then trade VO with retention for ... whatever, seeing as how the coach no longer believed in him.

Le sigh. You're welcome, Amerks! You don't get to have your heart-and-soul AHL-level stud veteran in the lineup for opening night. You also don't get Kozak or either Bryson/Johnson because of injuries. Dunne should've been in the lineup and Geertsen waived to Rochester based on play in the preseason, but they had to keep Ruff happy. Now, you've got 2 fourth line low-minute energy guys at the NHL level instead of one.

Don't see anything saying Gerrtsen was waived so Another stupid addition to the roster this time by Lindy Ruff, Gerrsten

According to Duffer, Mrtka is paired with Rathbone tonight. I don’t mind that.

Should have been ‘Send In The Clowns.’

Ah looo haaaa ser.

Gotcha. Yet another reason to hate social media. I don't like Sabrehood. Seems forced. At least Bills Mafia came about organically.
