It's Bo!

Buffalo is playing slow and sloppy.

No Detroit isn't a good hockey team. You're gonna have a tough time in this board if whenever anyone criticizes the Sabres you feel the need to defend them.

Look at all the space Dahlin had and instead he's a total idiot and passes into pressure. That might be the dumbest play I've watched this team make this year.

For what Dahlin did?

Utter stupidity from Dahlin. So angry at that trash from him.

Pure stupidity from Rasmus Dahlin after a good day up until then.

Sabres are starting to get regularly beat to pucks in this period.

They really need a better guy than Jokiharju on that top pair.

A pp goal!?!? In this economy!?!?!

For those wondering about ahl conditioning stints

Yes. He was in the starters net yesterday at practice.

This is Buffalo's first black n red game of the year.

Quinn needs an exorcism.

Here was Detroit's lineup from Thursday: Debrincat-Larken-Raymond Tarasenko-kasper-kane Rasmussen-copp-fischer Veleno-berggren (compher was injured and idk if he'll be back) Edvinsson-seider Chiarot-petry Gustafson-Holl Lyon

I'd like the NHL to add a rookie spot on nhl rosters where a player with less than 20 nhl games can be kept as the 24th roster player, as long as cap compliant

They have a 3rd line problem. McLeod, Zucker, Greenway is the 2nd line. I think Cozens breaks through today and I think Kulich will help him. Quinn though, looks like butt and needs a slap upside his head. Benson returning next week at full health is going to change that line though. Edit: if I were Buffalo, I'd be looking to find a team that I can package Rosen and a 2nd to for a middle 6 guy they want out to clear space. Issue is those deals don't happen until the new year. Maybe a team like San Jose or Montreal gets twitchy. You could also grab Yamamoto off waivers and try that for a hot second.

Posted this yesterday:

CHL agreement needs to be a priority. I think 19yrs old or 1 year post draft for 1st and 2nd rounders is needed. Preseason needs shortened to 3 games and we would start in the reg season sooner. I like the 3 goalie thing. Would like a process where the 3rd goalie can agree not to pass through waivers or at least gets some power there. I'd like all teams without a state income tax to have a 5% reduction in their cap to assist in league parity. Still gives them a benefit but evens stuff slightly.

Sabres take on a Detroit team that is on a 3 game win streak in which they've been out shot by 53%. They have allowed only 1 5v5 goal in that time. Their pp is clicking but their penalty stinks. Will this be the game Buffalo finally gets a pp goal? Can Cozens break out of his slump? Find out all that and more in this afternoon battle of heavy weight bubble teams. Edit:

He's injured

I would guess Kulich will be staying in the lineup for a bit as it appears they finally shut Benson down. Considering their schedule, this would be the time to do it.

I don't think a guy who put up 68pts at 22yrs old should be labeled a late bloomer honestly. Sam Bennett is a late bloomer. We might be able to apply that to McLeod depending on how this year goes.
