SABRES 0311

I hope the bold does not happen. Like Trump or hate Trump they are a record of not just his presidency but a period in our country’s history. IMO we as Americans don’t need pieces of truth of what happened removed out of fear.

Is it just me or was Skinner not as noticeable as we thought he’d be?

Yep, 100%. Jack snipes one. Surprise surprise

I like Tage. I think he’s improved. I think he is a third liner that can bring some offense to a defensive minded line. I do not think his game allows him to keep up with Jack and Hall. They play a more complex, creative game. Tage would be better off playing a simpler style. Olof, like Tage, has a good shot. Olof has better hands than Tage and experience with Jack. He’s more offensively talented than Tage. Skinner can best serve the team on a scoring line as opposed to an offensive threat on a defensive minded line.

How’s this sound? Hall Eichel Olifsson Skinner Staal Reinhart Reider Eakin Thompson KO Lazar Quinn/Mitts

Dare I say Quinn is having a more noticeable game than Cozens?

Wow nice pass by Quinn.

Power play time!!!

Probably not happy he’s not on the top two lines.

That last Blue O-Zone possession Tage did a good job finding an open spot in the slot after Hall’s net drive.

Intensity picking up.

This year I think it means more. No preseason leaves scrimmage play the best chance to see how lines work together.

Hall Jack Tage getting it done.

Reiner taking it to the net five hole.

Thompson from Hall after a Risto give away.

Marty: Bills won and Sabres will definitely win tonight.😂

Twitter and Facebook. Sabres page on either. Wife is hooking her Facebook feed up to the big screen here.

I could be misreading or reading too much into the lineups. Hutton with Tokarski and Houser and Ullmark with Johansson. Makes me think Hutton is penciled in as 1 while Linus and Johansson battle for backup tonight.

It’s doable if they can close up some holes in their game. I didn’t see the stats but it seemed like they waited until the second half to really get Beasley and Diggs into it.

I’ll take an ugly win to end a quarter century drought.

So who do we think we play next?

Hall, Eichel, Skinner, Dahlin and Joker on blue. I know who wins.

And a streamed Sabres scrimmage.

Fixed. I think it’s the same meaning, different verbiage. It is not a one sided problem. It is not a one dimensional problem.

Pointless with respect to those people trying to do something good or show proof of a grievance. All they did was further a negative spiral. In the larger picture I agree totally this is a huge step down the wrong path. Politicians have and will continue to convince people they are a victim of fellow citizens and that they, the politician, are the savior. Next comes militant branches of political parties. Those militant arms use violence and intimidation to further political objectives. At first elected officials keep their distance from these political arms. The militants gain support from the populace through the populace’s anger and fear. The politicians benefit from the divide as people look to them to stop the violence and promises of doing so. At some point you get politicians supporting the actions of the militants from behind the curtain. The goal is to disrupt society in order to decrease the civilian populace’s confidence in civil authority. Once that happens the politician offers the way out which includes blind obedience and institution of the politician’s form of policing. That policing is usually authoritarian. The populace accepts it out of fear, anger and apathy. The populace never catches on until it is too late because they were too busy calling each other the problem, the traitor, the murderer. They were too busy trying to show how those that don’t agree with them are the enemy to see what is happening. Eventually you are left with few people in control calling the shots. They themselves fight with each other dragging their people into more violence. Elements of the above are personified by Nazi Germany but better personified by Taliban control of Afghanistan. It continues in Afghanistan as militants bomb peace talks and political institutions. Disrupt, provide fear and an enemy, replace with authoritarianism. Or maybe I am wrong and this is not happening and is not going to happen. The common theme is a distracted populace. The only way to fix it is a populace who accepts it as not one sided, one dimensional problem.
