Or don't call up Dunne because Geertsen is already up.

Benson. He’s so tenacious and sound in his own end. Also goes to the greasy areas. I love the kid. But Doan is such a likeable player and I prefer him to JJ. He’s interested, works hard as well and isn’t a soft perimeter player. Also, I like when a guy “seems” happy when he scores. JJ never seems to care too much.

Oops. Didn't see this post not sure how you finish watching this game and come away with that opinion

Glad to see Power getting some accolades or at least not getting dumped on. much more confident and engaged this season.

Power played physical today and with emotion. Had a Panthers in a headlock from behind defending a teammate and was giving the Ref some lip leaving the ice between periods. Played a strong net game today clearing out bodies. Been down on Power myself since he got here, but he showed me what kind of game he is capable of. Maybe he shed a skin and has grown his confidence and his game. I want to see more of this guy who earned a Star today.

I'm tellin ya, Appert spent a lot of time Massaging his PP, really put his mind and hands to work to manipulate it, really softened things up on the other side and made it very hard in the process. They are entering swiftly and not pulling out, congrats, in 9 months, we'll celebrate a little Stanley 😜

Now 5th in the NHL to go along with their stellar NHL best 95.7% kill rate on the PK.

I’ll take it as long as it lasts

Well someone who might help a little with that on the Sabres Fought Rempe in the opener Fought Zadorov in Boston Got a ten minute misconduct for verbal abuse of officials from the bench after the Dahlin-Marchand incident

What in the Sam Hill is going on here? Sabres special teams are actually a help rather than a hindrance?? Is this team feeling OK??

In my opinion he's improved his defensive play to a degree which does damper some degree of offensive output. Plus, he's played in 2 consecutive Finals so I'd guess wear is starting to hit him. That being said, like Crosby his stats will falter and spike for another 11 years probably.

Tuch hasn't been world beating but he has been improving since Game 1 Thompson always takes time to get going with goals; he was very active today and even threw his body around a few times. I'm concerned on Tuch's contractual future but to me Thompson isn't someone you touch, great contract and a great player.

Sorry about the timing Ink. Glad to hear he had a good game. Hopefully he does it more than 7% of the time some day. I’ve watched the Sabres play soft for too many years! And oddly enough, they’ve sucked for those years. So ok.. I hear ya. Yay. .. Go Owen. … They’re showing signs of coming together and playing with some long lost passion. Anybody who plays a part time game isn’t part of the solution going forward. ..

It wouldn't be 1 for 1 but in regards to team impact we both lost our 1C. They lost a 1W we lost our 3/4D

String maybe 4 of 5 games like these and that arena will come to life. There were definitely glimpses of it today, you can feel that we wanted to just erupt and get into it.. Cmon buffalo, you don't know what you have here.

Their still good

Amerks going to need some muscle. Crunch trying to put everyone through the boards. Came after Mrtka already.

Preseason is meaningless

Thought this was interesting....Connor McDavid: -2023-24, 2024-25, and so far this year combined (including playoffs): 196 games played, 73 goals (30.5 goals per 82 game pace) -Previous 3 seasons before that, (including playoffs): 250 games, 141 goals (46.3 goals per 82 game pace) He's still a great player no doubt, and almost making up for the drop-off in goals by adding assists, but not immune to the 'superstars peak at goal scoring in their early-to-mid 20's' rule. (he'll be 29 when the playoff start this year, 31 when his 'next' contract starts)

Yup. Nothing wrong with disagreeing. After 14 years I have zero patience left though. That's just me. I don't want to wait on anybody. If I don't see it now make a move to get me some more now. Time is well past now. Normally I'd just say bench the guy but we already did that last year with him so I don't see that working. I liked what I saw in this Florida game. I want them to go even further in that direction. Ideally if I could find a way to get rid of Quinn, Norris and Bryson I would. I suspect we are stuck with them though. It might be too early but honestly I'd even be for giving Helenius a shot and sitting Quinn cause I saw more fire in his game. But as you said, we shall see. maybe the rest of them keep going they will eventually drag him into the fight as well.

Weird timing. I have advocated trading him forever but he literally just played his most intense engaged game since joining the team. You just straight up don’t like him because he’s 6’6” and isn’t overly physical.
