The Sabres would have fewer teams to pass if they were in the west. They would be 5th in the Central and 6th in the Pacific. 10th in the western conference vs 13th in the east.

The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step.

I would keep Clague over Bryson, he just seems to have more poise.

Asplund, Krebs and VO with good games, will Mitts sit out when Skinner comes back?

Stay healthy my friend!

Tied with the Gumper!

VO with a gorgeous play to Krebs. Krebs driving the net is nice to see.

Finally, Dahlin gets a point.

I was thinking this but didn’t want to jinx him.

Cozens with his third assist.

Ok, PP again, Dahlin needs a point.

Jost, Asplund and VO are looking like a decent line. Two defensively responsible guys help a lot.

Both goals were on quick passing plays. Beautiful!

VO off the post from his favourite spot was a great chance, nice set up by Dahlin. Tuch’s chance in tight from Mitts was another golden opportunity. Krebs has looked OK, hustling. Still on the PP tostart the 3rd, let’s go.

Go goatheads! I want Asplund to have a solid game so that DG has to consider scratching VO or Mitts when Skinner comes back. He isn’t scoring much but is not the liability those two are.

Sportsnet.ca and TSN.ca have a lot of hockey coverage but they are Canada and especially Leafs focused. Thehockeywriters.com has some different stories from around the league.

I like tradition but it is time. I vote for Wayne Gretzky. Norris becomes the Bobby Orr. Selke becomes the Bob Gainey. Adams becomes the Bowman. Conn Smythe becomes ??? All of these greats are still alive and it would be great to honour them. create one for defensive defenseman and call it the Rod Langway. Campbell bowl and Prince of Wales can remain as they are really meaningless.

I get this. I retired 4 years early because I hated my job, management work did not suit me but it helped my pension. I am back working part time at the entry level position and loving it. Anyway, winning will make them want to be here, so just start winning.

Sabres need to get back on the winning path to give everyone some hope. Hopium is good for the fanbase. Dahlin with another multi point game to get back on track. Sabres win 5-3, because they have to score 5.

Heck of a game between the Habs and Flames though.

Health has been Murray’s biggest issue the last 3 years. Don’t burst their bubble, the parade plans are well underway. I agree with this statement. Comrie has not been good but it is very early in his evaluation.

Brad May in his prime could play in this era. His energy would be nice and he could drop the mitts if asked.

His production is so much higher than his last few years. I really like Horvat and he is the type of player the Sabres need. However, I don’t think the Sabres will offer him what he wants and his role on the team would be 2C, blocking Cozens. Way too much money for a 3C, which Horvat would be for the Sabres.

One of Kulich’s teammates on the Czech team is G Tomas Suchanek, who was at one or two of the Sabres camps this summer. His numbers in the WHL this year are similar to last season’s but he is getting more wins. I’m going to keep an eye on him. Obviously a project, the Sabres lack G prospects, especially if Portillo goes to UFA.
