it gave me a light ick that they were taking a snarky victory lap of sorts based on nothing more than providing an element of competent production value.

Johnson and Rosén are the conspicuous ones missing. But... both had good showings in the scrimmage, so they're getting an extra look with the top squad next game, perhaps.

yeah - i take that game's outcome as somewhat of a fluke. 5 turnovers is nuts.

Congressional baseball practice shooting? Left wing • Burned down cities (Summer of Love)? Left wing • Waukesha Christmas parade massacre? Left wing • Lee Zeldin stabbing attempt? Left wing •Covenant School shooting (Nashville)? Left wing • Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt on Trump? Left wing • Trump International West Palm Beach assassination attempt? Left wing • Abundant Life Christian school shooting? Left wing • United Care CEO’s murder? Left wing • Tesla attacks (burned, keyed, firebombed)? Left wing • Murders at the Israeli embassy? Left wing • ICE facilities firebombed? Left wing • Minnesota Catholic school shooting? Left wing • Anti-white stabbing in Charlotte, NC? Left wing • Utah News State firebombing attempt? Left wing • Charlie Kirk assassination? Left wing Fake NGO stats can’t cover up what people can see with their own two eyes

Are the Sabres eliminated yet?

The only real change that they'd need to do to work that is bump Krebs off PP2 (PP3?) and put Wahlberg there. Follow up with either the Krebs line or the Kozak line and the Russians and no issues with lines getting juggled. And it's not like Krebs is going to get a legit look at the PP early in the season anyhow unless they have a lot of injuries.

Now, this is what preseason is for. The Sabres should've sent the tall squad to Columbus, then for the next CBJ matchup ice the small squad. Any self-respecting coach should've seen the potential. Thompson - Norris - Tuch Greenway - McLeod - Doan Malenstyn - Dunne - Wahlberg Geertsen - Kopff - Joshua Power - Kesselring Samuelsson - Mrtka Novikov - Komarov Leinonen, Luukkonen, Meloche vs. Benson - Östlund - Rosen Zucker - Krebs - Danforth Slaggert - Helenius - Kozak Savage - Leschyshyn - Costantini Bryson - Byram Johnson - Jones Rathbone - Metsa Levi, Lyon, Georgiev

Cool. Was trying to figure out why with UPL not available for however long, it was pretty much all of the bubble F's and G's but rather than going with the bubble D, they were going with 3 of the top 4 D and the 2 Russian Amerks plus Mrtka. But, wanting to run PP2 makes it make sense. Will be interesting to see how Mrtka handles himself going against a fair %age of NHLers. (Presuming C-bus's squad will be heavier on actual NHLers tonight than it will be tomorrow in Buf'lo.)

I don't like it as a tactic, I do if it's serendipity.

On Baker and Fairburn Hockey Show they mentioned the PP might be composed of the regular lines to help prevent the disruption of the game when the PP is over. Not sure I agree with that line of thinking

The Sabres PP2 (PP1 tonight) is a very interesting mix to me. Power, Quinn and Kulich lining up in their best roles, I've seen each be outstanding in those spots at lower levels. Byram as the bumper is odd on the surface, but given his skillset it might be inspired. Really curious to see how he does there. And given a chance to grow, Doan could be an answer for a long-time at netfront.

Yeah, he finally got to experience that playoff thing. Apparently it isn't for him.

So Byram, Power, Doan, Quinn, and Kulich are playing so they can run the pp2

Thanks. It's also going to be live if you have ESPN+. The home game vs PIT on 10/1 is also listed as being in ESPN+. The 10/3 game @PIT is supposed to be on NHLN. The home game against CBS and the two vs DET have no out of market TV that I can find.

definitely not more enjoyable than the NFL.

So Byram - Mrtka Power - Kesselring Novikov - Komarov That will be fun. Good luck cbj.

I’ll be curious to see if the BJ’s play with the same physicality that their prospects showed. Is it an organizational thing? And if so, will the Sabres match?

I was today years old when I learned the term “score bug”. Sounds like another term for genital lice.

Liger from the future: "he wasn't"

Dominik Hasek being arguably the best hockey player on the planet during that time certainly helps.

Definitely more interesting players than the Sabres projected roster. Geertsen might be worth the price of admission alone.

This will be my first look at Komarov and Novikov, as well as Mr. Tka (Mrtka)

For out of market peeps, game will be on NHL Network at 2 am ET

I doubt more than a few Blue Jackets who played last night, will be in the line-up tomight. If that.

Lovely little arrogant touch at the end with the small print "you're welcome". MSG has some of the worst coverage of hockey... there's nothing "welcome" about it.
