Have we heard if Kulich is injured? Might be why Östlund is still up. Dont know why Lescyahyn is. Ive said before but I think Ruff has plans for Dunne and Geertsen. Kozak too

Can't be any worse that's for sure.

Must be much better coke in FLA.

I missed the game. General question. How is the goaltending without UPL ?

Power was claimed to be a physical presence?

Chain restaurants that are popular on a weekend... 100%, I was at the local ymca today just to use the steam room and the hot tub... Similar situation, kids not listening to lifeguards, going into the steam room that is 18 and older, diving into pool after being told not to... Parents just trying to have a social life away from the kids... Ignoring all the shenanigans... Par for the course.

FBOW, I don’t go out to dinner very often. Almost always at the best of my parents or in laws. This time my son was pumped for some OG. So we hit up Olive Garden (btw the no reservations thing sucks because apparently most people are willing to wait 45+ minutes for table so for people like me who would scoff at this type of wait was locked in because of the boy. So we are waiting outside with at least 20 other people and chaos ensues. Kid behind us is throwing golf ball sized rocks in every direction, nearly hitting multiple elderly people who looked about one rock hit away from the end . Two toddler siblings across from us are going mostly unwatched. The younger one (I’d say under 2) get ahold of his sister’s Barbie and throws it over the bench they are sitting on. Big sis is having none of this and slams little bros head into the back of the bench. Everyone is now screaming. They are barely consoling the screaming toddler and have no control over anything with their kids. We then get inside. Almost every table has toddlers at it. Is this normal?

This is the way.

And aren't the physical presence they were claimed to be

But both are super easy to play against.

Problem being is you can’t fabricate toughness with a couple of 4th liners. It helps but real team toughness comes from everyone and they have purged a lot of the passengers from the roster. But still employ a few players that are never going to help in that aspect.

Lescyshyn and Kozak still up with the big boys. Figured Geersen would still be up. Didn't expect the other 2. 3 goalies still up too. (That not surprising considering Luukkonnen hasn't played yet.) Also Östlund and Dunne still up. Figured Dunne would still be there. Didn't expect Östlund.

I agree with all of this, Helenius looks like he had a bright future, he should take a full time spot next year Mrtka is gonna be a stud. He could take a full time spot next year and not look out of place at all i would not be suprised if both Dunne and Geertsen are ticketed for the roster. And frankly we have needed this for a long time

The Sabres send 24 players to Amerks

I like Norris’ game so much better than Cozens’. He just needs to stay on the ice. Helenuis and Mrtka continue to impress. I have a strong feeling that Ruff has plans for both Dunne and Geertsen. Lyon has been pretty solid.

Not Matt Milano

Norris ENG

Norris seals it. 5-2

NORRIS ENG

Pro sports is 90% mental toughness.

Did the Sabres not score power play goals in their 2 road preseason games? EDIT: They did not. 0/2 @ CBS and 1/4 @ DET. Overall the Sabres are 4/12 .333

Winning faceoffs on the PP does help them avoid their stupid 80' drop pass. Which is a good thing. But maybe Appert did learn something. they did not use the 80'+ drop pass on any of the 3 entries they've attempted this PP after clears. And they actually got into the zone with control 2 of the 3 times. Didn't get any more shots after the 1st flurry, but that wasn't because they couldn't get control back in the zone. That was just on poor shot selection.

Don't break Norris today. At least he hopped right back up. Sabres going to the PP.
