Then you were watching a different game.

This game was always going to be a tough one. They actually played much better than I expected. sucks not getting the game to OT.

Didn’t Colorado just lose to them the other day ?

And I thought the 2nd period vs Vancouver was bad…. Hopefully not completely out of hand before the 2nd starts

The main question I have about Myers is if he is good enough for the bottom pair? if the answer is yes - the. You give the Canucks some draft picks and a middle of the road prospect taking him off their books is a huge bonus to them , he should come relatively cheap

Canucks about to jump into the “be bad for Bedard” race. can Tyler Myers be a bottom pair Dman still? ——— edit. Just noticing this was discussed up thread

I’m a bit worried about this one but more worried about Thurs night vs MTL, home off a long western road trip think they will pull this one out but then have tired legs vs the Cdns Great road trip no matter tonight’s outcome as for who sits, I think it will be Krebs again would like to see, assuming everyone healthy, a rotation that includes Okoposo and Girgs getting a night in the press box here and there (load management)

Dahlin driving down that road It’s amazing how far he has come in so little time this take was right at the time - 6 months ago! Wow

That was a great 3rd period bring on Seattle !

Worst period of the early season.

Ok. I didn’t say go Tim Murray lol Just one trade and don’t overpay like he did multiple times Find Owen Power’s long term partner. I don’t think it’s Joker and it’s not in the system then sit back and re-Evaluate where you are next summer when Savoie, Kulich and maybe even Rousak are all ready for the NHL. Not to mention Quinn won’t be an option for the press box by next year

If that’s the price then I would agree with you. I’m assuming the price won’t be that high when he gets traded. I could be wrong but I figured Arizona would be more interested in picks. I should have also said Kulick, Savoie and Östlund are the 3 prospects I’m not trading either.

I’m usually the let the kids develop guy but I would have no issue if they traded away a current Dman not named Dahlin, Mule, Power or Lyubushkin. Draft picks (including next years, lottery protected, first and one of their top forward prospects for another Stud Dman. Hopefully GMKA is in the discussions with Arizona for Chrychrun.

The guy at the athletic who predicted Sabres in bottom 4 is still not ready to buy in “What Doesn’t Matter: Their record. Sorry, not buying it. Buffalo has 65 percent of the goals but just 47 percent of the expected goals. The latter number is a middling team which would be a nice step for the Sabres – and it’s close to where we’ve ranked them – but the former isn’t indicative of much just yet.” IMHO they’ve played 3 of their 4 against cup contenders and the 4th against most everyone’s pick for most improved (Ottawa) The numbers, should, look a lot better after the next 2 vs Vancouver and Seattle. Vancouver could be a tough one, they will come out hard in their home opener after such a horrible start for them.

Unreal

Remember when people wanted him sent to Rochester?? 🤦🏼‍♂️

Remember when people wanted him traded ?? 🤦🏼‍♂️

I agree. Need another big time RHD. Either include Joker in the trade or make him the 7th Dman they have enough picks , prospects and cap space to get someone of high quality back

Not exactly the shut down that the Sabres saw vs the Panthers but still able to survive. is goaltending now a strength of the organization? Comrie, Anderson an. UPL all looked the part so far

I’m really enjoying the SN feed tonight.

100%.

A lot closer to the Panthers this year but still there is a gap in experience and strength not bad game overall Their PP was fantastic, ours is a work in progress 2 more cup contenders on the docket Hopefully they can find a point or two

Have you hit your head? I love the positivity flowing today 👍

How about now? Jk. I know it’s only 1 game but great start of JJ! let’s see where he is in 12 games or so.

I really don’t understand why there isn’t unbridled enthusiasm for what JJ is going to bring to this team Im assuming, those worries about him didn’t get to see him play much from Dec onwards
