Anything can be fixed with duct tape.

Yes, he’s elite at his current level. He just needs to move up and continue developing. I think he will be the #1 in Buffalo in a couple of years.

My point is that the old guys have more upside adjusting to the 2023 rules, equipment, strategy and style of play. The NCAA guys are already up to speed on those fronts. The only growth left is getting a bit stronger and adjusting their games. In a limited period of time I find there is a lot more upside in HOF talents learning new things with new tools than college level guys playing a new type of opponent.

Gretzky may have had the highest hockey IQ ever. Some of those ‘83 all stars are pretty sharp too. They would be taken by surprise in one game and be overwhelmed with the speed and skill. Goaltending would be a difference maker as well. Over a longer period of time the Stars would find a way. They rose to the top of their profession due to hard work and determination. Give them the new equipment, some video to review and some time to practice/train and they will quickly improve. The NCAA team is already playing at their peak.

Nice hands Cozzie.

Quinn on the PP instead of KO.

Quinn gets away from JJP and gets a couple of points. JJ has taken a step back.

Yeah, he would benefit from the AHL. Should get a 9game look. I love and attend a lot of CHL games so it’s nice to see these prospects, but it’s not always the best place to grow.

I knew he was big and could fly but he’s looking good. Blake Wheeler 2.0?

Yeah, thanks. 19 is the shot difference.

Shots on goal are 31-19 Sabres. Come out hot in the third and finish them.

Really nice shot for Mitts, looks pass and rips it.

Back to UPL next game.

Krebs! Quinn was fumbling but came through.

Holy crap they look brutal in their end.

Fudge.

Here we go, giving these guys hope when they should have been buried. Doing it the hard way.

It’s nice to have a 2-0 lead after 1. However, it just feels like it should be 4-5 to 0. They left some out there but it was a good period, possession wise.

KO turns a breakaway into nothing.

Another f-ing post.

Finally! After the posts and the goalie losing the puck. TNT.

Tage and Power both hit posts.

I hope Dahlin gets an assist.

KO on the PP again, doing nothing.

Dahlin with Mule to start.
