I think he stays there for the foreseeable future.

Big if true

The whole point of trading for Montour was to get someone on an RFA deal which gives the team more leverage. They aren't going to trade him because he's an RFA.

Better than a turdburger.

That's a good win.

A whole bunch of stuff got bought and broadcast rights changed.

Listening on the radio, sounds like a pretty even, if not boring, period of hockey.

Dallas shut us out both games last year too. So scoring a goal today would be nice.

I think they typically make these games (even more) kid oriented.

*squinting*

I think it says 8-10-1...

Is it? I can't read the opening post with night mode on so I just scrolled past it.

Aren't the Sabres historically good on Monday afternoons? I feel like I remember it being a thing.

Wholeheartedly agree.

Maaaan screw Columbus day afternoon games

I doubt Curtis even plays a game unless someone else gets hurt.

I think one of these things informs the other. If Eichel and Reinhart are doing a lot of defending against other teams best lines it means we're probably defending more in general. That means our more defensive D pair is probably seeing more ice time as well. Dahlin's ice time is probably dependant on the success of our forward group. If we're spending more time in the offensive zone then Dahlin probably gets more minutes contributing to that offense.

Maybe. But there's also no reason not to do it.

I don't understand why he's not on LTIR yet. Is Botterill just trying to keep other GMs guessing?

Yup, he's played great. I just didn't think Botterill would tip his hand about the right d situation so soon.

Jokiharju getting the permanent promotion is very interesting.

Those are definitely a slimmer fit through the body aren't they

I'm inclined to agree. The one thing I think that is different though is the power play. The streak games were won on a lot of lucky bounces and Jeff Skinner. Neither of those things have really been a factor in these wins so far. I think they're earning these wins a little more than they did during the streak.

Really big win. Really big.
