The Sabres set the example for their minor league teams as both Rochester and Jacksonville lost their home openers before large crowds. And like the Sabres they also couldn’t score on the power play.

My biggest concern is the goaltending. Hopefully they can get Reimer back from Anaheim before it impacts them too much. I’ve always liked Houser as a backup, but Sandstrom is a big question mark.

If Lindy is serious about holding them accountable then he needs to sit Samuelsson next game.

I hate A cappella anthems. They’re uninspiring and tend to become drawn out Americans Idol interpretations. At least add the organ. Other rinks have much better performances.

Victor Olofsson with the first Vegas goal of the season.

When you ain’t got nothing, you got nothing to lose.

The problem with the hit was that the taller player lunged upwards to hit JJ, thus exacerbating the impact. If he had remained level and hit him it would have been ok. If the league was serious about reducing head injuries they would rule against such hits even if they’re borderline, so that players wouldn’t make that extra move to increase the impact.

Yes it cements Levi as on the Sabres roster. Whether he’s 1 or 2 will depend on how they both play. But there is a chance Reimer comes back.

The Skinner cash paid for the new scoreboard and roof.

Isles waived former Sabre Hudson Fasching. When he was in college I thought he’d be a great scoring power forward.

I’d say that’s more luck for Brandon Beane.

There aren’t any local investors who would buy the team. Any buyer would likely require a new arena or move the team.

The fans will cheer them until they get down a couple goals, then the Fire Kevyn chants will start.

It’s a 2 minute penalty in the NHL.

If Peterka has a concussion he likely won’t be able to fly back for a couple of days.

Yes, Brian Koziol is at the game.

The Czech Sabres fan club will be dyeing their white buffalo hats into red devil horns.

Always one pass too many instead of shooting and going for rebounds.

He’s sending a message that making his veteran teammates look bad is not acceptable.

Please no, Peterka and Hughes are on my fantasy team. Pick a different one.

Kulich making sure he gets his name on the stat sheet.

Of course the one Sabre on my fantasy hockey team gets a concussion. 😩

Apparently it is, but they must have agreed to not bring both uniforms.
