It’s very sad, and even surprising, that a finely tuned athlete in this modern sports era, with such knowledgeable training and dieting, can get this injury on a faceoff. It says something very concerning about his overall durability. He is a good player, he is skilled, and he doesn’t play a shy or timid game. I saw him run someone and I saw him retaliate on a hit. It’s just bizarre that he has these issues.

Frenetic finish but the Amerks hang on to win 4-3. I was surprised by the grit they showed tonight. Especially the young guys. If first impressions mean anything, Mrtka looks very much at home at this level.

Benson was to prove he is a legit Top 6 by scoring more points. Right now, this season, we need him to produce more than the 10 goals and 30 points that he has produced in the past two season. Sure, they brought him up very fast and he is young, I get that. Skinner is gone and they didn’t replace him. Peterka is gone and they didn’t replace him. Their goals have to be replaced and Benson, among others, has to contribute more on the scoresheet I hope he does. As for Zucker, I think he is really good player and I always have. But his career is winding down. He can score 20 again by playing on the top 2 lines and with power play time, but I just don’t think he would get that opportunity on a really strong team at this point in his career. Instead he would be a 3rd liner. I think he is extremely valuable to Buffalo because he still brings it on game day and he can help show the way.

Mrtka just killed a guy in front of Levi. Took a penalty, but it was worth it imo. Haven’t seen much of this period but what little I have seen the Marlies are getting the best of it.

FloHockey with their usual technical difficulties. They are no more reliable than last year.

I had a partial tear of an ab from sneezing too hard (yes, seriously, I know it sounds dumb). It was excruciatingly painful and took weeks to heal. I can’t imagine that as a professional athlete because it’s totally immobilizing for a while. Conditioning has to take a massive hit.

Go Amerks!

I'm a glutton for punishment so I'll still be watching when the drought hits 20 years. As I watch this current batch flail, the uniform still inspires memories of what made me fall in love with this broken, broken franchise...Mogilny, LaFontaine, Hasek, Hawerchuk, etc. I can't blame people for tapping out, it all feels so damn hopeless.

Like, at 11 PM last night if not before.

Norris has been a full-time NHL player for 5 seasons. He's played 236 games, or 47.2 per season. The guy is incredibly fragile. Yes, he has skill and is a responsible 2-way player when healthy, but that's not very often. Plus he's locked up for basically 5 more seasons at $8MM per. That was a reckless and irresponsible trade that no real GM would make and it should cost Kevyn his job...but it won't.

It’s more like the Owen Power Play. Weak as hell not an overly positive factor in a game.

Great head of hair, though...

Appert is an idiot. He claims to have spent the entire off-season studying effective PPs and working with the analytics department to really revamp things and make the PP more effective. The ONLY thing that was modified effectively from last year was Norris was brought in to take FOs on the PP so they didn't have to try that ridiculous entry right from the get go. But he's now broken again, so they're back where they started. Honestly can't recall disliking any coach on this team more than Appert (and Wilford is neck and neck with him). Krueger, Housley, Rolston, Goober; none of them were as infuriating as this idiot. And they all were really bad at their job. There are SOOOOOO many things this unit could be doing to actually be effective. Most all of them have been listed here myriad times. And that idiot is in line to be the next HC. Have no idea what this management team is attempting to accomplish.

I really wanted this tbh, I expected it somewhat too in the way they started showing some life end of 1st period. God we all deserve more.

I don't care , this is all frustration, I love the sabres in bufflalo, im zero revenu for the team , we need more goathead games that is all.

well it's about time mrtka

Mrtka with his first point as a pro with the assist on Warren’s goal. 4-1 good guys as they are punishing the Marlies.

Well, looks like Adams will need another 5 years to shape a roster. i don’t know about you all, but I’m all in…….Go Adams!!! 🫡

I‘m not in favor of signing Tuch. Get what you can get for him and blow it up. Wipe the slate clean. Let the new HC/GM what to do with Tage and Rasmus. At this rate, I would’ve been better to just waive Cozens with the hope someone else kee would pick up his contract. Now we are stuck with one that’s just as high.

The greed to hang around for money is an amazing drug. Bettman, Jerry Jones to name a couple.

Kopff makes it 3 zip Amerks.

A PP drawn by Kuntar delivering a hit (clean? unknown until highlights, but he wasn't penalized) and a Marlie jumping him and taking an instigator penalty. Amerks capitalize. Another PP, another Rosén goal. One-timer.
