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 seals it. 5-2

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.

Not sure what you're trying to argue. The Sabres ran their #1 PP unit. Against C-bus, they ran their #1 unit minus Tuch. They now have 1 goal to show for it. Yea.

So did the Sabres then.

Cossa's an NHLer? Seider isn't playing, Holl isn't playing, Compher isn't playing. AHL goalie behind ~1/2 of their normal PKers. Sure, they brought their A team.

Is this Detroit's AHL roster. I thought their top 6 is playing?

Well, it went through Tuch. But it seems they are getting used to each other.

Benson doing Benson things.

Against AHLers, great tonight. Last week, not so much. Expect the Rags to be that kind hubristic?

Norris and Tommy Dangles developing chemistry.

So how's that Sabres power play doing?

Norris being a great teammate. He could've scored the goal, but wanted to let Thompson get his 2nd instead. 😉

TAGE x2

How far behind is your feed? It's easier to do when you're actually at the game. 😉 Just sayin'. (No idea how he normally does it.)

Not really. He chose a two-year deal probably to see what direction the team goes and to wait until the cap increases. Byram wants to be a top guy which will not happen with Dahlin and long-term, Mrtka could take his spot on the top pairing.

Sabre Space Management has informed me that you are sitting out the preseason games against Pittsburgh. We are looking to see if any of our recent draft picks have your skill set. Clearly your offseason regimen allows you to continue to live 3 seconds in the future.

I was talking about Timmons in the corner.
