If the Sabres get average to above average goaltending, I will be pleasantly satisfied. Few of us expect top tier goaltending from the current staffing. So, if the goaltending moves into the middle of the pack rankings, it would be a major improvement. My sense with how Levi will be handled is, regardless how he performs in camp or preseason games, he will start off in Rochester getting a heavy workload. That's probably the best course of action for his development. And with the injury history of UPL it wouldn't be a surprise if he becomes our primary netminder sometime in the season.

So Danforth drops off to the 4th line and Gertsen is the spare, I'd assume

Tuch is practicing with the team this morning. He is on a line with McLeod and Zucker

Sabres being healthy with a new 1C, Thompson to wing, and bringing Benson forward is not running it back 3 new D and Samuelsson demoted to 3rd pairing

Just give them a little bit of money if you want your show back, I love how the Republicans were so happy for Kirks death so they could exploit it for political and financial gains

Alveda King had some nice things to say.

See my post above. What I want and what I see are two different things. The Bruins have already moved people around. Zacha has been at center and wing for example. The Bruins spent the entire second day doing one on one board battles to which Casey Mittelstadt said "I've never done those that much any camp. It was hard but I enjoyed it for the most part". I think the focus they have is completely different. Looks like they plan to grind and grind hard. Probably a decent plan as their scoring ability is suspect to say the least. Putting Zacha at center is a major surprise though. Most people figured Mitts would be there until Poitras was ready to move up. Now nobody knows where Mitts ends up as the third line looks like it's maybe Jeannot Kuraly and Eyessimont. Minten is also pressing for a center spot. Beecher (their Krebs last year) is going to have a hard time keeping his job. Ultimately my main point is you line up a roster the same as the year before and your results are likely to be the same too. Bad teams shouldn't be set in camp. Period. If they are, the organization has failed before it starts.

To the first, my comment to Lindy would be why was that not done last year when you first got here? Why don't most of these guys already know your defensive system? Or why was there no defensive system last year? To the second part, I'm saying this illustrates the flaw and the lies. They have said they want internal competition and they claim to have depth. And yet, the line up is basically set and like last year so where's the depth? Where's the competition? If you are making these claims shouldn't we be seeing something to that effect? So since we aren't, we can see that they are just lying. So I am not arguing against myself because although the situation I want is competition for jobs I fully know that doesn't exist. Doesn't mean I can't want it though or say that's how it should be.

At least into the 00's. Don't recall how much further back it'd go.

Canadian friends Finger Eleven in Buffalo at the Town Ballroom on Thursday. Can’t wait!

No. This team can't stay afloat with average or worse goaltending. That's been my point for years about Adam's waiting for UPL/Levi to develop strategy. I posted this before, but it deserves to be repeated. Here are the Save % for our 4 goalies in the NHL last season. UPL - 55 games .887 save % Levi - 9 games .872 save % Lyon - 30 games .896 save % Georgiev - 49 games .875 save % NHL average goalie .893 save % When an average NHL goalie is your best option in net for a team desperate to make the playoffs, the GM has failed the organization.

How far back does traditionally go? Back to Lindy’s first run?

Even with the debacle of a game today lol we are in good shape to lock it down Sox fan? Ya they should get in

Came to this thread to look for this exact post from you. Nailed it! I did not think the Jays would still have the best record in the AL, but here they are. Hoping the Sox can hold onto a wild card and get invited to the dance. Gotta sweat it out for eight more games.

I know you’re pessimistic on this team and that’s fair, but it does matter. Are you betting on Lyon to be NHL average and keep this team afloat until UPL is ready? Actually, I just kind of threw up in my mouth a little. Maybe you’re right and it doesn’t matter. For the record, I would roll with Levi and hope he can catch lighting in a bottle. And I know hope isn’t a strategy, but it’s where we are at.

Low expectations.

Did the Broons reporters share lines from camp? How is that any different? There have to be lines. The Broons coach has some he wants to try, I am sure. It seems kinda absurd to vary your lines day-to-day, you never build or see chemistry. I get that the Sabres are frustrating, but being upset (hopeless? disappointed?) because you don't like the lines Ruff trotted out day one and two of camp is probably a bit much, no? And we know from many past seasons that the "second line" won't necessarily be used the second most ,etc, etc ...

I doubt any of this is true but his brother is a Maple Leafs forward.

Robertson is from northern California. Absolutely no connection to southern Ontario or WNY. So why is he "targeting" the Leafs and Sabres???

I don't go on Twitter anymore so I don't know about that site, but Facebook is full of BS click bait posts that are totally untrue

LOL Robertson has officially demanded a trade but only this guy has it. He is targeting Buffalo And his source is “multiple sources”

I smell poop.

OK. Team ‘Lanny’ has dropped out Taro T and Turbo44 you’re in. Dudacek, you’re the spare forward for now, so if I don’t hear back from NorthernKentuckyHilltoppers by tomorrow night you’re in. Please provide me with your emails (by DM if you prefer) and I’ll send you invites.
