SABRES 0311

Only three games into the season but I wouldn’t mind changing up the top six with different combinations.

It looks slower. Like he’s more worried about not scoring than doing his thing.

About the most life we’ve seen outta TT.

Third and fourth lines continue to be our best.

Can’t remember the last time Clifton jumped up line that. Good job.

Good on Krebs.

If they keep this up for 60 minutes, no more excuses.

About ****ing time

TT looked like he had some more time and space to deke. I could be wrong.

WTF was that sequence?

Not sure about that. Went down in the tunnel.

Can actually see a different team this game compared to last few years.

I grew up there.

Dahlin has been quiet too.

I liked UPL, Power, Malenstyn, Greenway, Benson, and McLeod. Everyone else was meh.

No goal.

Malenstyn came to play.

Move the feet and draw penalties.

If Benson does get interfered that’s a goal.

Greenway with a couple good hits.

At this point I’m for a 6-4 start to the first 10. It would be a decent foundation for the season and requires them to overcome an abysmal first two games.

Agreed. Bottom six got what it needed a year too late. Next year should be at least two of the top six (Tuch and Cozens) and two of the D (Muel and Joker). Krebs as well. Need a top pair shutdown Dman, legitimate 1C, and 2W. Absolutely not banking on Kulich or anyone else in the pipeline. Peterka TBD Quinn Benson TT TBD Greenway McLeod TBD Same or mostly same fourth line Dahlin TBD Power Byram Clifton Johnson/similar It’s a heavy price to fill those holes. Bye Kulich.

Sell em, move em, wait a couple years, get an expansion team, hire the VGK architects and entice Bettman to look the other way. In all seriousness things may be too far gone. Arizona got out of hand and couldn’t dig themselves out. Nobody likes that thought but it is a possibility. If this season goes like the first two games you have to at least look at another rebuild that says goodbye to a couple guys. Now I bunker down and wait for the response.
