? I think I'm coming around on using the "_____ Dishes" meme where we fill in the blank with timely adjectives. He's just Dishes, but during games he can be any number of types of Dishes.

Dude looks like me in beer league

Is it wrong to have liked Lazar's game so far? He was the butt of a lot of jokes in Ottawa.

I think McCabe just hit Andersen in the dome

It's nice to see someone doing it without needing to be told.

Ullmark's rebound control is still bad and is going to be the big thing the coaching will need to work on this season.

Sure looks like it

Wow

I think that's a weird read. Krueger speaks knowingly about the challenges of being a young, developing player in the NHL and it seems that he recognizes that Casey is, reasonably, in need of some guidance. That's just good coaching and doesn't speak negatively to the player at all.

Sorry, there's no "there" there. You're just projecting.

I don't think that's true at all. A big part of the Ralph Krueger approach seems to be getting to know his players one on one. I assume everyone is going to be talking to him quite a bit.

I gotta agree with liger here. I don't hear anything in Krueger's comments that sound negative about Casey. If anything it's that his expectations are high for Casey given his raw talent.

The opening night roster isn't really the goalpost. Now, if this team looks largely the same at the end of October...

Reasonably AHL roster from Toronto as well. I wonder if the teams coordinated rosters for this and tomorrow's games?

McCabe-Jokiharju could be interesting as a potential 3rd D pair.

I think I'm glad I'm missing this one tonight

I assume he'll play Saturday given that it looks like Saturday will have most of the regular players.

per the Sabres: Here is Buffalo's roster for Friday: Forwards 12 Kevin Porter 15 Jean-Sebastien Dea 17 Vladimir Sobotka 21 Kyle Okposo 25 Arttu Ruotsalainen 27 Curtis Lazar 37 Casey Mittelstadt 42 Dylan Cozens 43 Conor Sheary 49 C.J. Smith 72 Tage Thompson 81 Remi Elie Defense 3 William Borgen 10 Henri Jokiharju 19 Jake McCabe 38 Zach Redmond 44 Brandon Hickey 58 John Gilmour 78 Jacob Bryson Goaltenders 35 Linus Ullmark 36 Andrew Hammond

This has gone too far

The incompetence of Nationwide as a company knows no bounds. In a continuing trend of them screwing everything up when I call them, they literally failed at cancelling my policy last month and tried to bill me again. Luckily I caught it and stopped the automatic payment in time. But what the hell?

I need to see Cozens against real NHL players. Hopefully tomorrow against the Loafs.

I hate the idea of sending Mitts to Rochester after he battled his way through a whole NHL season. But a new coach = a clean slate and if he's not up to Ralph's liking then I don't see another option.

Heck yeah it is. Yessir, it sure does look that way.
