When I lived on the Left Coast my brain did that conversion automatically. Pull it together, man.
But it's really complicated math.

Give it some time.

He'll be out awhile. Goalies don't hop right back into the net following dual hip surgeries.

Phil's style just did resonate with this team IMO.. The team gave up on him and that's usually a tell tale sign of a coach.
He had style? He was like a sphinx with a perpetual grin.

Six solid periods in a row to start the season; what more can you ask for.

Please stick around.

Anyone concerned about ice time in that very telling game either didn't see it or doesn't fully appreciate what was accomplished. We appear to have a well coached, dedicated team for the first time in eons. The fresh air should be enjoyed as it's finally accessible.

Can't wait for Saturday night at the arena!
You saw a good, well coached hockey team, for a change. It's refreshing as hell.

Hutton looks much better playing in what appeared to be a defensive system.
Hutton is a good goalie who often looked bad last year because he was called on, night after night, to attempt to carry the team defensively. It wore on him big time. We were always being outshot and took huge chunks of time (periods) off much more often than we did anything effectively. "Thank you" Phil Housley. Krueger has already shown you up big time.

How long has it been since we played a solid 60 minutes? We looked like a good hockey team for a change.

What a pleasant experience seeing a Sabres team play three solid periods of aggressive hockey. The lines are extremely well balanced and the defense was rock solid. Above all, if this team forechecks all season as aggressively and effectively as they did tonight, we're going places. It's been years since we've had anything resembling an effective forecheck, which is a critical and often overlooked requirement for success (I'm addressing this to you, Housley).

I have been on a 4 year hiatus.
Sabres were also on hiatus during that stretch. We'd like to welcome them back as well.

Has Risto ever practiced as a forward? He can't play D and admits it.

He shouldn't have been here last year. The Sabres don't have many examples of players that hurt the team by having 'too much' time in Juniors of the Minors...but there are a LOT of players that might have been hurt by rushing them up to soon.
Thompson would have benefited from being in Rochester last year.

How is Arttu looking?

I think these two should make the team , Cozens I haven't seen him play so far but I think they will send him down. Ruotsolainen could be on line 4 for sure.
I'd start like this.
Skinner - Eichel - Cozens
Olofson - Asplund - Reinhart
Vesey - Casey - Johansson
E-Rod - Larsson - Ruotsolainen / Okposo
Girgensons.
Sheary?
-
Risto and Dahlin?
-
Pekar has a four letter word the Sabres haven't had much of for years: G R I T.

Best 12 Sabre forwards, regardless of position:
Perreault, Lafontaine, Eichel, Hawerchuk, Gare, Martin, Mogilny, Peca, Foligno, Andreychuk, Robert, Ramsay
Top 6 defence:
Ramsey, Schoenfeld, Housley, Dahlin, Zhitnik, Campbell
Top 2 goalies:
Hasek, Miller
Off the top of my head at least.
A bit early for Dahlin. Hajt!

What bothers me most about Risto is his comment late last season about how hard it STILL is to figure out how to play defense in the NHL. That from a rookie is okay; from a vet like him it says a lot.
