Still looking for a loss on the schedule.

Personally, expect he'll pass him on the depth chart (if he hasn't already) but that unless they have 2 injuries on D they'd rather have him in Ra-cha-cha playing so expect he'll go down rather than Bryson if they keep 8 up on the big roster. He is still waiver exempt to be sent down. So, unless they're on an extended road trip doubt he's up if he isn't in the top 6. But interestingly Puckpedia has him listed as being an Amerk right now. Pretty sure that's incorrect as they're also showing Östlund and Georgiev as Amerks already too.

Kulich has an injury that was supposed to just be a day or 2 thing IIHC.

Also I feel like Ruff is looking for a 4th line that can move stuff in a game for him, but its a bit old school feeling for me, not completely wrong but dump greenway please.

Mostly good. Lyon let in a bad one today (Det #2) but he didn't have many tough saves to make because we are better at defending. And a lot of it is Mrtka. I'm not advocating keeping him in Buffalo but he looks awfully good. He might be better off in Rochester than Seattle.

Sending them back down is the right thing, but I want them more in the league right now and I feel like I shouldn't seeing our past. But for Mrtka you need to send Samuellson away, and for Helenius you got krebs, greenway, and I want Östlund up there too.

Happy to hear this.

Didn’t like Lyon but once he stuffed Kane he stepped up rest of game

Also, RyJo getting an extended look. Is it possible he can pass Bryson on the organizational depth chart?

True but it is a lot easier to play tougher when you have some tough guys around rather than none. Kesselring and Doan will both drop the gloves too. They will be a tougher team than last year.

Lyon has looked solid. Georgiev had one solid game one rougher game but in preseason it is about the lineup being iced in front of you vs the lineup the other team ices. Georgiev’s game in Detroit the Red Wings had a much stronger roster

Samuelsson

I believe I heard Sabres were 10th in goals but 29th in GAA. So I know what needs improvement.

Have we heard if Kulich is injured? Might be why Östlund is still up. Dont know why Lescyahyn is. Ive said before but I think Ruff has plans for Dunne and Geertsen. Kozak too

Can't be any worse that's for sure.

Must be much better coke in FLA.

I missed the game. General question. How is the goaltending without UPL ?

Power was claimed to be a physical presence?

Chain restaurants that are popular on a weekend... 100%, I was at the local ymca today just to use the steam room and the hot tub... Similar situation, kids not listening to lifeguards, going into the steam room that is 18 and older, diving into pool after being told not to... Parents just trying to have a social life away from the kids... Ignoring all the shenanigans... Par for the course.

FBOW, I don’t go out to dinner very often. Almost always at the best of my parents or in laws. This time my son was pumped for some OG. So we hit up Olive Garden (btw the no reservations thing sucks because apparently most people are willing to wait 45+ minutes for table so for people like me who would scoff at this type of wait was locked in because of the boy. So we are waiting outside with at least 20 other people and chaos ensues. Kid behind us is throwing golf ball sized rocks in every direction, nearly hitting multiple elderly people who looked about one rock hit away from the end . Two toddler siblings across from us are going mostly unwatched. The younger one (I’d say under 2) get ahold of his sister’s Barbie and throws it over the bench they are sitting on. Big sis is having none of this and slams little bros head into the back of the bench. Everyone is now screaming. They are barely consoling the screaming toddler and have no control over anything with their kids. We then get inside. Almost every table has toddlers at it. Is this normal?

This is the way.

And aren't the physical presence they were claimed to be

But both are super easy to play against.

Problem being is you can’t fabricate toughness with a couple of 4th liners. It helps but real team toughness comes from everyone and they have purged a lot of the passengers from the roster. But still employ a few players that are never going to help in that aspect.
