His issue is he is a lazy two way player. He avoids contact and his hockey sense is not great. Nice shot, quick release, but does not drive the play either. A finisher with a limited game. You can’t put him on a checking line either. A real checking line has to have all three players committed to two way, 200 foot hockey.

The defense did even better than I thought for sure. Add in that Allen played patient and in complete control. Add in that we were home and the crowd was nutso. Love this team.

Great game. Always love to beat Miami. McD taking the DC role is making what looks like a significant difference. That, and a patient Josh Allen.

We saw Quinn and JJP get knocked down a lot last year, especially in the first half of the season. Ditto with Reinhart in his rookie season. Benson looks scrappier and more responsible defensively, but I will wait until he gets his 9 games before I make any judgement on his readiness since these preseason games are not real NHL games.

Big game today. Bills - 38 Dolfs - 27 GO Bills !!!

Liquid cooled home computer? Never seen that. We use liquid cooling in fighter aircraft when we have to. Forced air is preferred if it can do the job but it often cannot on complex sensing equipment. It must be a very powerful processor.

I hope he plays the majority of the games in Rochester with at least one good taste of the NHL. Things will slow down for him and decisions will improve.

Least successful in the past 12 years is true. Longest playoff drought in league history is true. Prior to Pegula, the Sabres had the fourth highest winning percentage from the start of their existence. So least successful team in the history of the NHL - NO!

Tuch probably needs to knock a little rust off and take a few shifts at game speed Murray is not using his body (its preseason so most are not) but he looks pretty slow to me.

Personally that order is Johnson, Stillman, Metsa (ik), clague, 300 level stale beer, cold and dried out LA nova arena pizza, Bryson

No Clague?

I think the OP is spot on. My additional thoughts: Comrie looked better than UPL but there are a few games left and I think KA likes UPL. Devon is going to be asked to do a lot. We have not seen our real defense yet. Stillman is looking like the 7. Bryson or Clague are 8 and one gets waived. Johnson and Novikov impress me. Give them time in Rochester. Benson should get his 9 games, he looks the best of the forward prospects, lets see what he does. Kulich, Rosen, are knocking on the door but they will benefit from more AHL time. Could be up at some point. Biro shows more than Rousek so far - if one makes it, it might be Biro. Kozak get noticed occasionally but he goes back to AHL for experience. Murray is not fast enough. The Russians need time in the AHL. Jost could be in trouble if Benson sticks. We have lots of talent 60 miles away that does not have to clear waivers to fill in. Savoie injured and not allowed to play in the AHL is an awful situation for him.

I did get to see Oppenheimer. I found it to be fantastic and it led me to research that project further. I was especially intrigued by the way they portrayed Truman and how that meeting actually went. Any recommendations on good newer movies like this one that I can stream? I have a fair amount of streaming apps - Netflix, Prime, Hulu - thanks!

Eventually. But there is an entire generation of potential fans, now with money, that have never seen a good Sabres team. Right now the Bills are a contender and they take up a large amount of the fun dollars too.

Could 13 be the least popular number in the NHL. Even going way back to the 6 and 12 team league, I just don't recall many players choosing 13.

I thought I heard Pittsburgh’s announcer say that Comrie might be tradable, he mentioned Tampa Bay. The market is not great when the rest of the league knows they have to be waived.

They did ok considering no top 6 defensemen. Comrie was good. Benson, Biro, Kulich, and Rosen all had moments, as did Johnson and Novikov. Jarry was excellent tonight for Pittsburgh, we had chances.

I hope you are right. Not seeing it yet.

Accari always hard to play against. He owned Tage.

I think you are referring to two seasons ago. Last year he was dropped off of that line quite a bit.

Yes, these are the top forwards, plus Savoie who is injured for now. He was looking good too.

Make that 3. Ok

Comrie has 2 big saves this period.
