9 Shots... in 17 games. You really can't score if you don't shoot.

Or perhaps he was waiting for Krebs to give the OK on talking about it at all.

The power play's struggles have largely been gaining the zone. I don't see how he's going to help you gain the zone, and i'd suspect the second he touched the puck that the PK is going to pressure him into a turnover.

Can he enter the chat next year? Once Oloffson, Girgs, Okposo, and Jost are likely all off the books? Might be nice to have a veteran winger on a line with a younger player. Truly depends on how he looks after hip surgery though. Skinner-thompson-tuch JJP-Cozens-quinn Kane-Mitts-Savoie/Benson Greenway-Savoie/Benson-Kulich Even then you still have no space for Krebs and Rosen. At the same time, a healthy kane is better than krebs and rosen at putting the puck in the back of the net. You could start Savoie or Benson in the AHL potentially. This lineup doesn't contain a defensive line or anything either. Dahlin, Muel, R.Johnson, Power, Clifton, Joker on defense. I think there's space to upgrade here.. goalie is pretty obvious too.

Dahlin?

He doesn't shoot well or often enough to be anywhere near a teams top 6. He brings some juice and forecheck/backcheck that you want to see in a bottom 6 forward, but the lack of any scoring touch is going to hurt him even if he has some playmaking chops. Playmaking chops don't go that far when the shooters are guys like Girgs and Okposo.

Just watching UPL the last couple games: He's still huge. Cover's a lot of space just being big and i think it helps a lot on PP's when they have you moving side to side Rebound control has improved - seems to be kicking them off to the walls much better than before Puck playing - still a work in progress. Improvement here helps the defensemen get the puck moving out of the zone more effectively Levi on the other hand has struggled with both rebounds and puck playing. He's quick as hell and definitely can make some of the harder saves. He did get hung out to dry to start the year i felt as we were giving up a lot of slot chances and that's usually on forwards and back-checking. All the line jumbling in preseason seemed to harm some of the cohesion to start the year, and some players like thompson and tuch started really slow.

It's alright - that reckless style is fun to watch. Gets under teams skin. Great for playoffs. But Brady and Matt for that matter, will both eventually break down faster than the average skill player. Just send them both for 2 and a misconduct or something. Basically saying "cut it out"

Absolutely terrible officiating at the end of the game. You rewarded a team for cheap shots... to me I just give out equal roughing penalties.

My buddy is a ticket broker, and another broker who used to work for the Sabres would buy... a ton of seats and re-sell them. The key was because he was doing such volume that the Sabres were basically selling them for 30 cents on the dollar. That guy lists them - probably makes money on some, and on others he'd just dump them for the minimum. I forget the name of the guy the Sabres fired, but after that they adjusted their ticket model considerably and stopped giving seats away. It really de-valued the product at the end of the day, and people were shocked when they couldn't pick up a ticket for 10 bucks on the day of. Also thousands of season tickets opened up mysteriously at the same time.

The only taco bell in amherst is such a terrible location. Regularly leaving food off of my order (almost seems intentional at this point).

I got the tlayuda there and it was very good. Wouldnt shock me. I lived right over there for like 3 years and i feel like there were never cars there in the front.

Jeeze no one said it was going to be so emotional! 😭

I usually go michigan to elm to 33, but i live in williamsville so thats probably the quickest way out of there.

I usually park in the lot on perry and walk to ballyhoo. Sausage and mac and cheese will do a body good.

I do enjoy going - but man that place is a dump. If i don't have enough time to eat before i go its really frustrating too. That and being charged 14 dollars for a cream ale.

It's insanely frustrating. Not quite as frustrating as watching olofsson get smothered on the wall when he's out there, but still frustrating. I'd like to see dahlin shoot more to help break up the opposing team structure, get some rebounds, make them chase. And I'd also like to see a behind the net play with someone like tuch or cozens because they're going to take that Tage pass 99x out of 100, which should give you a window to try and attack from the high slot.

Which... hard to motivate people when the game doesn't matter at all and the crowds absolutely dead. Agreed - i hope they don't wait to make a move if something opens up.

My brother always reminds me that Green Jelly is from Buffalo. They had a little moment in the sun: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Little_Pigs_(song) As a big tool fan, there's some fun tool connections there too.

Then you just need to find your PK pairings. Assuming you keep power and johnson as one, that'd leave maybe muel and clifton as the other with Dahlin as a floater if any of them are in the box.

I wonder if they're rotating Johnson in there in practices. If they split Samuelsson from Dahlin to go L-R, i wonder how joker would play with Muel.

He's not ready to play though. He's recovering from hip surgery which has ended some careers already. So while possible, i don't think anyone's signing him until he has shown to be recovered from the surgery.

Whatever channel is needed to watch the guardians. I've just given up on baseball the last few years because I can't watch my team even if i wanted to pay for it.

My rule change? Shootouts and penalty shots get a timer. Don't know how long its supposed to take, but they should be able to find a balance. The boring drift-in move needs to go as its just not hockey and its a massive disadvantage to the goaltender.

I'm a guardians fan, even with the MLB package i wouldn't get their games as i'm "in market". I have the 2nd highest fios package for channels (because i wanted MSG), and i don't even know what channel i would need or if its on the highest package.
