His defense gave up 31 points on their own. Lamar Jackson isn't the problem in Baltimore anymore than Allen is in Buffalo.

There's no strawman because I'm not making an argument and the proceeding remark doesn't change the language you used. "The radicalized violent left" which you wrote, is not changed by "now that there's a republican president" in any way. You still wrote that and you've written it in other ways and other places. That's the same type of language that you are then upset over. There's no logical fallacy to attack. You're using language that you are also criticizing others for using.

Gah! The Red Wings got Borgen. And Fox! And ... Zibanejad? The Yzerplan was to assimilate the Rangers roster! 😇

Athletic analytics model has an interesting take on this in terms of the depth chart and where the Sabres rank in terms of other guys in those slots around the league 1) Dahlin 82nd percentile 2) Power 31 3) Kesselring 55 4) Byram 64 5) Timmins 83 6) Samuelsson 93 Model says Mule/Timmins is an elite 3rd pair and Power is the only weak link standing in the way of the unit actually being elite. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6655759/2025/09/25/buffalo-sabres-2025-26-season-preview/

So if I understand you correctly you're agreeing with what I've been saying for years, both sides of the aisle are equally horrible? And of course you ignore the qualifying remark preceding it that makes it not ironic for the purpose of your strawman argument, " now that there's a republican president"

I didn’t catch all of the game but I did see that 4th down fumble. That one sums up my view of him. It was the same way in the playoff game last year. He had a solid game overall, but the couple early mistakes put his team in an early hole they could never escape.

Kulich tweaked a muscle and will be out 1-2days according to Ruff

Yes, they are there. They weren't when the post was started; had to step away before finishing it.

Red Wings lines supposedly:

Kulich left the ice? With Norris’ health always suspect until he shows he can play a full season, that’s one player we really need to stay healthy. Unless he’s been traded for Robertson…. edit: or, he had a skate issue or something.

We already have the lines

Rosen and Fiddler-Schultz getting Kozak's and Geertson's roster spots. Wonder if Rosen will take Wahlberg's spot with Östlund and Helenius or if he'll take Kozak's spot on a checking line. Expecting Fiddler-Schultz is getting Geertson's spot because he played both BJ games. Wonder which AHLer will be the odd man out on D as am expecting Mrtka to play, so either Metsa or Rathbone would presumably be the one who's pressbox bound. Does Georgiev get the start again with Levi taking mop up duty, or do they flip it to see how Georgiev does coming in to start the 3rd without a real warmup? Questions, questions, questions. All to be answered within the next 8 hours. EDIT: So Johnson is odd man out. And the original roster sheet was incorrect as it had Krebs in the lineup and Kozak out. "Great" work guys and gals.

They have the “potential” to be an elite D corps Byram Dahlin Power Kesselring Novikov Mrtka would be a tremendous D corps when the bottom pairing was ready to play NHL minutes but that is not right now. Muel- Timmins is a decent 3rd pairing for the moment. Hopefully Kesselring can help unlock Power and he takes a big step this year.

He got a pto for Chicago. Adams lacks imagination and wouldn't dare give his friend Samuelsson competition.

I'd say he's over-qualfied and probably had aspirations of a higher role. But he's certainly a better player.

Sammy sure has a lot to prove this year.

And I read the other day you don’t get anywhere without heart

Matt Grzelcyk was available all summer.

The way I see it, Bryson's role is to fill out the fourth-pair in practice, get spot duty on the 3rd pair in case of short-term injury or poor play, and act as a safety valve if Jones and Johnson suck, all with a smile on his face. I'm sick of him too, but he's as qualified as anyone for the role.

They can't even be bothered to strip Samuelsson of his A

There is a certain irony in the language you use here in bold to decry acts of violence. Considering a democratic lawmaker in Minnesota named Melissa Hortman was assassinated; Trump and Republicans have repeatedly used this exact same language for years now.

Hope they play him with Timmins next game to put some preasure on Samuelsson.

What player did they rush who was then bad? Grogirenko?

If they actually put Helenius on the roster and rush him, they need to move this team out of Buffalo. If they have not learned their lessons from the previous 100 mistakes of rushing players, I really do give up.

Exactly. He also doesn't seem to need to play a few games after missing long stretches to "get his game back." Adams and Ruff were very clear about that being why he was brought back. And, like everybody else, would much rather they have a guy that isn't as limited as Bryson in that 8 role. UNLESS (well actually even if, to be technical, but should this be the case it isn't as galling) the plan is to have him be the rostered 8 but in reality the 9 behind either Johnson or Novikov who will actually be playing in Ra-cha-cha until somebody in addition to Samuelsson breaks. Don't fully get why people say they don't understand why Bryson is on the roster when Adams has been very clear as to why. FULLY understand why they don't agree with it. And as already said, would rather they have a better player slotted into the 8 because the 8 realistically will play ~20 games.
