If ruff said it’s unrelated to his previous injuries, that would mean no oblique or shoulder injury. What did he do, pop a rib? I guess he could have strained the other oblique.!never saw a non-contact injury like this - he’s so fkn fragile it’s pathetic

No offense, horrible power play (why is Appert still coaching), no shot suppression and the team is a bunch of p*ssies that don’t hit. A lot to like here, did I miss anything? Will be fun when we play good teams

Good seeing that Ruff has them flying out of the gate. I think shots are 14-2 so far against the world beaters bruins. This honestly is unacceptable

Too funny - you don’t realize Lyon was the problem tonight, don’t you. 1-0 55 mins in - Lyon wasn’t responsible for 0-4 on the PP and zero goals scored. Why in the world is Alpert back? PP sucked last year, sucked in the preseason and sucked tonight. Management is clueless Or Sabres hockey since 2010

Agreed you don’t typically build systems for goalies. I think what you want to do is to limit high danger opportunities, which is good for every goalie

Yeah I just went with what the settings said the draft time was. Sabre players were in general picked earlier than they should have been so I assumed most were drafting and not on auto draft

I think 6:45pm EST is the time we always knew, no?

Feeling like Levi may be the call if UPL instant while. They’re desperate for a hot start and Lyon and Georgiev don’t seem oooe the answer

Didn’t they go something like 6-1 in preseason last year? How did that translate to the regular season?

???! Benson is 5’9” Doan is 6’2”

With the $$ difference between benson and Robertson this isn’t crazy. We’re pretty tight against the cap (before any Tuch extension although that prob doesn’t hit the cap to 206/2027). We’d have to shed quite a bit of salary to take him on And we seriously weaken our d then. We don’t want Samuelson on the 2nd pair

AHL guys were basically mia last night. They should dominate this type of game. Hopefully they show

I’m not sure a recent 14th overall pick would clear waivers to Rochester??

I’m in if you still need owners

Plus: He saved the Sabres from bankruptcy and possible relocation and was the owner during some great Sabres years (though he had very limited knowledge of hockey) He married Monica Seles A winner all around in my books

So embedded is acting, meaning they have Al the people read from a script? Interesting. I’m sure the opposing gms would love that

Embedded implies otherwise. Adams said the trade wasn’t happening cuz Utah would include Doan in the trade, they “consider him a glue piece to the team.” he’s may not be a top 6 forward but he’s not a throw-in either

analytically he’s one of the top forcheckers in the game + he has very good size. A very late bloomer (went undrafted in his first year of eligibility which is shocking given his name) so let’s hope he develops as a decent scorer. I don’t expect him to approach Peterka’s numbers but if he can get to 70% of peterka’s offense that would be a huge win

Dahlin isn’t good playing defense? Interesting. And it’s not like the Sabres aren’t going play a player in JJ’s place. I’m not optimistic but I’m not irrationally negative either

What makes you think Lyon is not the best NHL goalie of the 3 right now? Statistics say otherwise

So I read this as really good, right?

Yeah it makes no sense

It should as Doan and Kesselring have extremely good analytics and JJ does not

Let’s give power a real d partner this year and see what happens. He’s still young and it took Dahlin a while too. Granted he’s never going to use his size like we want but hopefully his d-zone awareness can improve with a partners who isn’t hideous
