This is the effect of Meatball's "offense first, defense some other time" coaching/teaching philosophy. He's almost permanently damaged that generation of Sabres.

Ellis is quick, and clearly reads the play well, but he is rough around the edges. We need to see him in a few more games. I think between Levi & UPL you get the same results, and I'd rather keep Levi because he's light in the loins. Not a fan of UPL, so I wouldn't mind giving him his papers ASAP, but if playing him increases his trade value and/or the interest in trading for him, that's fine. But have this sh%t settled by the end of November.

Old guy things. Let him sit on the couch with a scotch for the night and he'll be okay.

Awesome!

Does that little end-of-penalty chime sound in the arena or just on TV?

Ellis is clearly still raw but has that natural whatever a good goalie needs that UPL does not have. At least that's how it looks so far.

Dangles needs to do something because his schtick is old and moldy at this point.

The PP on Quinn's goal looked vastly different than it has. Surely not by design but hopefully they learn from it.

What a novel concept, I've only been an advocate for trading Power the past two seasons plus.

Because in 22-23 with 33 GP he had a .892, and in 24-25 with 55 GP he had a .887. For his career he's .898. He's also a miserable sod. Lyon is .904 for his career and lights up the room.

Wouldn't that be Dangleookies?

Good Lord, Quinn is bad.

Started with Quinn flubbing the pass. Krebs is more deft with the puck than Quinn.

His ego.

Roster building is a mad science, obviously. What should work, doesn't and when what shouldn't work on paper does, everyone is like "of course". But every roster is different and has its own set of parameters to tweak. If the Sabres' roster the past two games worked, why mess with it unnecessarily? Does this guy look like he thinks like your average hockey mind?

Okay, thanks, Montreal!

You will not.

Has that ever stopped Adams before?

Let's be real: the Sabres have been comically bad. It's a wash.
