Mine too.

Gonna challenge that ? Get the PK ready.

This is the year we play to win.

They suck tonight. Could not get a whistle on the delayed offside. Devils camping out in front of Comrie.

The Devils are looking to start something at every whistle. 88 tried to run Peterka, before that it was Cozens.

173 on the Amerks roster sheet

Not sold on VO. Sure, he has a few assists recently. Where was he on the goal?

Not really on Clifton though. The wings were not there. Jost behind the goal line.

Rosen-Jost-Olofsson not looking so good there.

Good Evening Teammates, Punch checking in. Looking for another W. Big game as usual. Go Sabres !!! Kulich and Rosen are up - Double Muscle Weight.

I see Don Luce.

Yes, I streamed it with my daughter recently. Feel good movie, do what the kids like, keeps the bond tight.

Must admit that I do not know TRPM and I can't find out anything about it related to hockey. I prefer Clifton for tonight's game. I see Clifton improving and getting more comfortable. His stats may not show it.

I think Clifton and EJ are essential tonight. Need some help to watch over the kids, Greenway and Girgs are out.

Mine is a 18 year old Glenmorangie. Start with a nice crystal tumbler. Pour in a finger, or two, depending on your mood. Add one single very small ice chip to open it up. Sip and enjoy.

There was a poster here named Deluca, that believes that .500 is achieved when your wins are equal to the sum of your losses plus your overtime losses. It was a debate that carried on for awhile.

No, kind of close though. You were referring to Deluca .500, right? This is the character Kit Deluca, from the movie Pretty Woman.

Holy Chemistry Set Batman.

Translation: Sabres win 5-2 Benson scores again. Kulkich gets a goal with an apple from Rosen.

I could have used a younger person but Betty White is iconic (to some people), and I thought she fit the humor that @inkman started. I actually know quite a bit about todays younger players, I still follow the league closely and I learn a lot here thanks to some of the members here. I believe that some people here appreciate the references to Sabres and other players of past eras. I am not the only senior aged member here, but even some of the younger guys do - at least I can see that in their emoji reactions. I am growing tired of your jabs about age toward me. Every time I get a response from you I dread reading it. I know it is going to be negative and a dig from the guy who is the leader of the forum. Where is the dignity in that?

Given the problems this franchise has had lately in finding, developing, and keeping a goalie, all we need to hit on is Levi. Kulich is like 100% pure profit if Levi hits.

Agree that if UPL and Comrie are good enough and holding up the fort then Levi could be getting better in Rochester. A backup that plays every third game still gets lots of practice and all of the extra shots in practice that he wants. 3 goalies in practice is a pain and one more thing to manage.

Great post. I bolded a key point. I think you named all the key players that started slow and are behind compared last years effort. It seemed that Tuch and Cozens started out hurt, and then continued to have health issues. Tuch seems to be back. Cozens played better the past two games and the shield is gone so maybe he keeps progressing. Tage was a slow starter last year too. He contributed in other ways but we need that shot. As you point out, the PP is bad. Kyle, Krebs, Muel, and Power all need to snap out of it. Obviously Kyle has very little in the tank. This preseason was different. It was geared heavily on looking at prospects, even prospects still in college or juniors got long looks. We rarely saw the real Sabres and I just think that is part of the slow start. Fans expected them to come out fast and look like last year and it hasn’t happen but for a few periods here and there. Goaltending is considered to be at least average this season. The Levi situation is unique (can’t think of another word). How many GMs put so much on a 21 year old rookie goalie with 2 years of ncaa experience? We are fortunate that UPL is stepping up. It’s gotta be hard for any of these goalies to stay sharp in a 3 goalie rotation. Three goalies still means you don’t have a goalie. I wonder where this goes as the season forges on.
