Weave

Well, that was fun.

I don’t have a good feeling because we don’t match up well vs Carolina. I think its best we didn’t subject the chosen one to the ***** show we might see tonight. I hope Im wrong.

SDS gonna give matter2003 some serious stinkeye raising a dead thread to pat himself on the back.

I’m trying to figure out who the nihilists were in this case.

I only saw the highlight of that sequence. Heard Ray say someone needed to assist Mitts. Didn’t realize Wallman was throwing down with Mitts unprepared.

Different, not better. Dahlin will have the gaudy stats. My guess is Power is going to be more of a distributor and more of a play stopper in our end.

I always assume it’s the scotch.

Is it always you posting game night stuff in an unrelated thread, or does it just feel like it? 😂

Know how I know you are wrong? You are always wrong.

The patient isn’t even cold yet…..

The coaching tree thing intrigues me somewhat. Did any of Lindys Butfalo assistants go on to head coaching gigs? Genuinely curious now that its been mentioned.

Will be interesting to see if Granato can keep the focus and intensity up with playoff chances barely mathematically possible.

Granato mentioned previously that Tage would be ready when the pain was manageable, no? So I don’t see how you put this on the trainers or Granato.

They don’t need to send a goalie down. We will see a 3 headed monster next season unless a bunch of injuries leaves us no choice but to send a goalie down.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for a backup plan. No doubt in my mind that we stand pat on goalies. This is what KA was waiting for.

I said the same to my son last night.

Another thing to consider… What decent veteran goalie signs a 1 or 2 yr deal? And what decent veteran comes knowing that the chosen one has already been anointed? It would be a goalie already relegated to life as a backup.

Power doesn’t initiate contact either. I hope that changes as well.

I agree that the Sabres and Levi would be better served with a proven vet. I just don’t think that is what will happen. I think there will be a competition among who we have currently and the winner will start about 40ish games. Id be pleasantly surprised if KA got a good vet netminder and UPL and Comrie weren’t on the roster. There is this as well

UPL and Comrie both under contract for next season, no? I realize either or both could be sent to Roc next season, but if I were betting on it I’d put my money on a 3 headed monster of Levi, UPL, and Comrie with one getting 40 or so games and the other two splitting the rest.

While disappointing, the end result surely wasn’t unexpected. That was a playoff tested team that refused to go down. Hopefully the boys are learning from it. I want to echo PerraultForever. The team needs to learn to initiate the physicality and force the other team into adjusting to it. I couldn’t watch the whole game. From what I did see, Tuch stood out to me. Expectedly. His playoff environment experience was on display. We could have used a little more of that.
