Sabres prospects Kleber and Zeimer on the initial US Juniors roster. https://teamusa.usahockey.com/2025wjcroster

They would if they could clear the zone.

Yep.

This game would be tied if it wasn’t for UPL. Our defense still sucks.

Watching Georgiev play goal almost makes someone miss Carter Hutton.

Good thing we have all these great offensive D. 13 goals in the last 7 games including getting shut out twice. Impressive. Can we trade one for a playmaking center?

On that 2-1 with the goalie pulled, I wish Tage had passed the puck to the open JJP. I don't think the goalie could have moved over in time.

I'll answer with this quote from Matt Fairburn. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5937714/2024/11/21/sabres-trade-trevor-zegras-maiblag/

and your too forgiving of consistently bad play in our zone. Yes the offense is great, but as Victor Hedman and many others have proven you can play competently in the D zone and still put up excellent O numbers. Basically Byram is Shane Gostisbehere 2.0. I'm sorry, but I'm not ok with continuing to field a D-man who gives up as much offense as he puts up. As to Power, his O development this season is great. Also no one is asking for him to ram people into the boards. However, we are asking him to learn to use his size to knock people off the puck periodically. Otherwise, he'll never reach his full potential.

This implication that Byram and Power are now suddenly adequate defensively is simply not true. Both are still bad despite lighting up the scoreboard. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5943201/2024/11/24/sabres-sharks-ducks-kings-takeaways/ https://www.naturalstattrick.com/games.php?team=BUF# On the West Coast road trip, great goaltending saved the team. They gave up more high danger chances then they had in 2 of the 3 West Coast games and gave up 33 HDCA during the trip overall to just 26 for. https://www.naturalstattrick.com/pairings.php?fromseason=20242025&thruseason=20242025&stype=2&sit=5v5&score=all&rate=n&team=BUF&loc=B&toi=0&gpfilt=none&fd=&td=&tgp=410 Byram with Dahlin is -3 in HDC and Byram with Power is -6 in HDC. Power with Joki is -12 in only 63 minutes of ice time. Both these guys will continue to be useless on defense until they take it seriously. Byram is fast becoming the Jeff Skinner of the defense and until Power begins to use his size physically he too is only 1/2 of a defenseman.

Great comeback win on the road with the backup goalie on the back end of a back to back. Well done!

They are 9-5 in their last 14 after starting 1-4-1, and that includes a 3 game losing streak. That’s progress. They need to keep improving.

I’d love to have Brady, but it would have to be a 3 way trade like Ana acquires Thachuk and then trades him to us. I give this a .01% chance of this happening.

Just watched the game recap video. Looked like a solid comeback win. I haven’t watched either West Coast game, can anyone if they have tightened up defensively or is it poor execution by the opponents?

No sh…..t!

I think they sent me Krebs because I wrote here he should be sent packing.

Why on G-d's green Earth would Adams trade the local kid on a bargain contract to a desperate hated divisional rival?

I completely disagree. His prospect is far from diminished and he proved that he can play and produce in the NHL right now. Does he need more polish? Sure, but who doesn't at 20?

I have 4, 3 w numbers and one without. One of numbers you can’t tell if it’s a 6 or 9. I think that one is sadly Erik Johnson. I also have an Asplund hat that came w a piece of paper.

4in x 6 x 5 approximately

Don't worry, the internal cap is 82 mill.

One can always hope.

Because in the past the notations on the box did not match the autograph on the helmet. Sometimes they included a piece of paper with the name, sometimes they’ve had no notations at all.

Would Adams resigning be considered a “big” move?

I think it’s Krebs as well. Makes sense. The box from the Sabres had 19 written on a sticker. I get a mini helmet each year in support of Roswell Park on hockey fights cancer night and this was this year’s helmet.
