I noticed Brian Duff has something written on his fingers. Anyone know what it is? Tattoo or henna?

WGR 550? Hasn't been WGR 55 in a decade or more.

Sadly probably! So far key players like UPL, Kesselring (the big off-season acquisition) and Samuelsson are already injured "week to week" So far this pre-season, the PP looks just as terrible as last season, the defense is suspect and the goaltending bad.

I don't know if you're being deliberately obtuse or just ignorant. The proof is upthread. Read.

lol - i can't even remember what the context here was

I think you keep the guy who is the better NHL player.

Good.

Per the bold, you are 100% correct. It is literally against federal law to provide government healthcare OF ANY KIND to undocumented immigrants, INCLUDE CHILD PROGRAMS. And while I can believe that these lying sacks of GOP puke Congressmen DO know better, many are ignorant of the laws on the books just as many of their MAGA constituents are. Until these lying scumbags provide PROOF that illegals have been given these benefits, they have ZERO credibility. https://www.npr.org/2025/10/03/nx-s1-5560987/shutdown-undocumented-immigrants-medicaid-obamacare

That's fair. From my perspective, if we're looking for someone to play up into the role during the regular season due to injury, Krebs looked pretty good on Wednesday which admittedly surprised me. I'd like to see him play a second time in that role to see if it was just a fluke or not. I don't really see Quinn going to corners or creating space for Norris/TT in the same way. It's why I think Benson fits on the line well. Just a complimentary role.

Hope Kesselring’s injury does not linger into November. 🤞🏻

Looking at those lines (and the odd flip of 2 and 3 by expected ice time)…. Man, Benson really ties the forward room together, doesn’t he? That’s a lot to be riding on the shoulders of a 20 year-old.

Vezina? Unlikely. But here are Ullmark’s career save percentages throwing out the high of that Vezina year: .913, .917, .935, .905, .915, .917, .917, .915, .905. Most of those numbers are with the Sabres defense in front of him, Housley, Krueger, and Granato teams… stellar defensive lineups. There might not be a more consistent above-average but-not-star goalie in the league. Ullmark would’ve been fine. With him as #1 starter, the Sabres would have had a positive goal differential last season. They’d have definitely ended the drought in 22-23.

as well as lack of physicality and being really easy to play against...

Getting dinged with extra penalties is common with any bigger kid in minor hockey. If it was in his DNA he could easily regain some edge. He frustrates me so much with his lack of engagement with opponents. I repeat once again that he is built like Pronger, plays like Bryson, but I just want him to get 10% more physical. Baby steps, make the effort and gain some room and respect.

I wouldn't care if the illegal immigrants were from England or Sweden, my position would be the same. Your insistence on labeling anyone against tax payer funded Healthcare for illegal immigrants as racist is misguided.

Don't be surprised if by November we are looking at draft orders. We do start 0-0 like the rest of the teams so it should be good October.

For the Sabres it is... just sayin... actually its more of an operating model than a plan... I am feeling like this thread is going to age much better than I originally thought LOL.... 🙂

Mentioning Ullmark, I wonder what he would have become if he stayed instead of going to a very solid Bruins team... I am guessing he wouldnt win a Vezina...

That the biggest joke and slap in the face to so many people.

We are helping ourselves just fine. We are people first, then Americans. It’s absolutely about race.

Okay, you're wrong. Q.E.D. But seriously, this is the time to try to prove you wrong; it's still preseason.
