K-9

I have a feeling Rousek is gonna be hard to deny making the big club next season.

Can’t teach what he’s got and LBs and safeties can’t cover him. Gonna be fun to watch.

That’s good news for us because even though we won the head to head series last season, it seems like Letang has been a Sabre killer every time we play them. Of course Crosby will still be his usual pain in the ass to play against.

I wonder is that has something to do with Allen and Mahomes being among the best vs. blitz pressure the last few seasons.

Clearly, Reinhart should be scratched from the lineup until November 1st. 😁

Dorsey finally got his RB wide receiver. Looking forward to Hines split out wide and seeing how defenses decide to defend him because he’s gonna be a matchup problem for LBs or safeties and Dorsey is gonna love catching defenses in unfavorable sub packages as a result. I see a lot of up tempo in the near future.

I think that’s a good comparison. If memory serves, the pre-lockout Sabres of ‘03-‘04 were among the worst teams in the league, if not the worst, the first half of that season. But they were the second best team in the league after the All Star break that year and that carried over to the ‘05-‘06 season. While this year’s squad didn’t have a year off between seasons, they have certainly carried over their great finish from last year as well. And not without a good share of adversity on the back end with half the starting D out of the lineup.

Did you miss @Brawndo’s post up thread about Krebs’s game tonight?

Incredible feat indeed. Can we still make fun of his red purse?

Much to the chagrin of many.

Imagine what he could do in Rochester 😁

Doused is a word that comes to mind.

Three games in a row with 45 or more.

Tage en fuego!

He had an assist on VO’s OT winner.

How do you spell off the schneid? QUINN, that’s how!

Yeah, it was kinda of a tongue in cheek remark.

I believe that puts Tage ahead of last season’s pace. Is that correct?

“Right now” definitely. Would he make our top 6 if not for the current injuries to the D corp? I honestly don’t know how good he is.

Nope. I’m simply asking how many teams have NHL quality depth in their 7 thru 9 defensemen.

They seem to be looking at specific types of RBs and since McCaffery is gone and Kamara won’t happen, I’m not sure there are any of that specific type around at the moment.

How many teams have quality D depth that goes nine Dmen deep?

Let’s just root for everybody to play better. How’s that?
