I simply said Benson had some of Gretzky’s vision and anticipation.

And give Savoie a shot.

GDT: Flames @ Sabres, Oct. 19, 2023 - 7pm EDT, MSG 📺 WGR 📻
French Collection replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
Last place in the East, I would have never thought that was coming. One win will change that but they need to string a few together to not dig a hole. They need a wake up call and this better be enough. It is a tough league and no one is giving you any points. There is way too much talent drifting around, they need to battle for pucks and space. Tuch is my biggest disappointment so far, no speed when he carries the puck and he is not physical on the forecheck. KO is teaching them to be better people but he is not making a difference on the ice. It is way too early to start looking at the ‘24 draft but they better change something soon. -

He’s having trouble seeing pucks. -
Official Craig Anderson joining Sabres Organization
French Collection replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
He may even go on a few road trips, to help the goalies prepare in some of these new cities, to chuckle at the chirps and pranks the young guys get into. He may also want the occasional break from the kids. -

Yeah, that’s the game I would give to Comrie and have UPL back him up. -
Leblanc? Or do you mean Kevin Labanc? Seems like the Sharks couldn’t get anything for him and may waive him after scratching him for the first 3 games. Similar salary to VO, similar age. Best season was 18/19, 17 G & 39 A. UFA after this year. He’s from Staten Island. I watched him play junior for Hawerchuk. Both guys probably need a change of scenery. Labanc would come in as 13th F and have to work his way up vs VO being a 28G man relegated to the press box. I don’t know if Labanc has any defense to his game, he was a Doug Wilson guy that Grier wants to move on from. I doubt it happens but I would give it a shot, I’ve had it with VO.

MSG's Sabre Games: No Cable Needed Next Season
French Collection replied to That Aud Smell's topic in The Aud Club
I guess I have become a pirate of sorts. We cut the cord and returned our set top boxes. My mother lives down the road and still uses cable has an extra box that was in the spare bedroom. The cable company didn’t cut off our service so this box works. My mother loves hockey and has the Sportsnet package so now we do as well. -
Kulich is making a statement in the AHL with 4 goals, 2 of them OT winners. He didn’t show much in pre season but he is only 19 and will only get better. He could get a call up at some point.

Who partners with Dahlin? I would rather Clifton than Bryson. Maybe big Johnson is up for it but that is a lot of minutes. Joker has been there before. I’ve named everyone but Power or RJ, my guess is Cliffy. Let’s go Buffalo! I want one of the Sabres goalies moved but I don’t like their chances of winning without Levi. -

NHL Teams Vote to decentralize the Draft
French Collection replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
Elliot Friedman was talking about this last night. His perspective is that he loves it because all of the NHL teams are gathered in one place. It’s easier for him to get stories. -
GDT - 10/18/23 Rochester @ Laval 7pm AHLTV
French Collection replied to inkman's topic in The Aud Club
I think the first ever NHL goalie goal was scored by Billy Smith on a similar play. He made a save and was the last Islander to touch the puck before the other team (Rockies?) passed to the point where no one was standing and the puck ended up in their own net. -
Darnell Nurse’s dad played CFL. Justin Bailey too, I think.
-
I can’t believe his parents moved 30 times, that is extremely nomadic. He’s been through a lot in his life already, he seems very grounded.
-
It was CFL, so not that well known. I know about him because his wife is from around here, she was an Olympic silver medalist in 1984.
-
Ottawa beat the Caps while Detroit beat the Pens. Two old teams dropping down the standings. At least there were no loser points.
-
I know, but that’s what they have to work with. Just saying they should send one down (UPL) to make room for another player on the roster. I don’t see the point of having 3 goalies up when 2 of them are about the same caliber as the AHL guys.
-
Jeff Petry’s dad played baseball for the Tigers, Dan? Seth and Caleb Jones’ dad was basketball, Popeye? Liam and Jean Luc Foudy’s dad played football in the CFL.
-
UPL should be in the AHL as well. Comrie is not far removed from that level. Tokarski has almost as many NHL games as UPL and Comrie combined. Coolley has better AHL numbers than UPL.

Sabres Alumni and Team Culture
French Collection replied to PerreaultForever's topic in The Aud Club
Suzuki and Caufield are surrounded by a storied past with Cups galore, and numerous alumni that come around. They are in rebuild like many other teams and were not even born when the last Cup was won there. I can’t imagine there is a ton of influence the alumni could exert on today’s team. It’s more for the fans. The Sabres just need to continue having special nights (Miller, RJ) when they are warranted and that raises the new players’ awareness of the franchises’ past. That stuff doesn’t raise their level by a sustainable amount, in my opinion. -
That was funny. Peterka was the best stooge imo. Rubbing Zemgus’ goatee and going “good boy”.
-
You mean I could get more money now than what I paid for my clothes 20+ years ago?

They have been clear as to who is #1, they need to bite the bullet and pick a #2. Tokarski and Coolley are not chopped liver if one of UPL/Comrie get claimed. These 4 could all play some NHL hockey.
