Hagg doing something good.

Jesus Dylan. Soft, needless giveaway.

Quinn’s got a long way to go, but what I like is that he understands space.

Can’t keep up. Was in the centre of the action at prospect camp, and has slipped further out of it every game. He’s doing fine in traffic but I’m not sure he’s going to get there in time against the higher competition.

The closer Murray gets to the regular season, the further he looks from the NHL.

Nice effort by R2. Stayed with it.

Oof. First Peterka, then Quinn. Ugly.

Cozens misses another Tage gift.

Anyone notice how Quinn came back hard there, broke up the rush and turned it back in the other direction and immediately out of our zone?

Backing up Devon Levi? 😜

It’s the scoreboard feed.

Bryson got owned in front on the 3rd goal.

Asplund with a sweet breakout, Tage with a nice feed and Cozens robbed.

Bad puck protection by R2 there, not sure who put the pass into his skates.

If UPL and R2 look this good when the real pucks start flying, this season just got a lot more interesting.

Thompson made some good disruptions with that long stick, I thought. Agree on Quinn. Looks like a boy out there. Peterka is putting himself in the roster conversation. And R2 was our best player. Dude playing like he means it.

Bad goaltending is OK with me when it’s on that end.

If they are going to call that tIcky-tack cross check every time this year, that will drive me crazy. UPL looks good to me early.

Murray could because he's more skilled, but Hayden looked more physical and confident. From what I saw right now, Hayden is a better fit as 4th-line banger.

This is the accepted situation, and I agree it makes sense, but has it ever actually been confirmed? I have never seen it out of the mouths of any of the parties involved, or reported as anything or than speculation.

Will Butcher the first LD to get a look on the right side. Jacob Bryson is a player no one is talking about who is on the bubble and fighting for an NHL job.

Hayden plays to his size from what I've seen in two viewings. It's something we need. I think someone is going to have to knock him out of the lineup.

Vogl Tweeted that Butcher pulled Granato aside and asked to play him in as many exhibition games as possible. He got 28(!) minutes against Cbus. This Hoppe article paints a picture of a highly motivated guy. https://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/sabres-will-butcher-has-special-chance-to-reignite-sputtering-career/ I don't recall seeing a lot of Butcher tire-pumping in the Jackets game-day thread, but Donnie apparently loved what he saw: “We had other experienced players – (Anders Bjork), Vinnie Hinostroza and (Zemgus) Girgensons – using that game as a gauge,” said Granato, whose Sabres play a road game tonight against the Detroit Red Wings. “I could see those guys aren’t close to where they can be in another three days, a week or a month. Yet, Will was making plays as if he was already in midseason form.”

Is it Fallon who does that thing with celebrities reading mean tweets about themselves? Id like to see Lehner reading some of the posts made on Sabrespace about him back in the day.

I don’t think I’m doing any such thing.
