The season hasn’t even started and I am already getting fired up over Owen Power and his neutral zone drop passes.
Yes, I know that he is probably being instructed to do it, but it doesn’t make it any less maddening.

It is really a shame that Dudley left in the prime of his career at the age of 26(after 74-75 season) to go to the WHA. I don't remember much about the circumstances other than $$$. He was not the same player when he returned in 1979.

That’s what the 9 game trial is for?
I understand, and am all in favor of the Sabres keeping him around for this stint.

The one thing Benson hasn’t looked like the entire preseason is overwhelmed. Quite the opposite in fact.
Preseason and regular season are two different animals.

Benson...I might be dating myself with that reference...
There was a sitcom on TV in the late 70s to mid 80s called "Benson" where Benson DuBois(played by Robert Guillaume) started as a Butler/head of household for the governor and ended up running against his "boss" for governor in the final season of the show...
It was a pretty funny show, remember watching it with my parents several times growing up.
Remember hearing of it, never saw it. 😂

"The Butler" is likely making this roster...I don't see how they don't keep him up.
Who?

Better odds than what I got a month ago…
94 is the over/under on my bet

Skinner-TT-Tuch
JJP-Cozens-Mitts
Greenway-Krebs-Benson
Zemgus-Jost-KO

Me likey. 👍🏻

I don’t obsess with this burning a year of the ELC. At this point, I would prefer Savoie stays put and once 100%, does a conditioning stint in Rochester, gets in some games with the big club, off to the WJC in December, and then back here.
Benson unless he is completely overwhelmed in his 9 game stint, also stays.

Love Pizza PLant. Go there almost every time before a game. Great beer selection and love PODs. Johnny Ryan uses pure cane sugar versus HFCS... I don't drink any of the stuff any more but I avoid HFCS at all opportunities.
Stating the obvious, but their diet soda’s obviously don’t use pure cane sugar.

WNY summer is over after today. Now time for 8 months of gray, gloom, cold, wind, rain & snow.

You probably know, but the Rays have a deal with St. Pete to build a new stadium.
https://www.fox13news.com/news/rays-announce-plans-for-new-1-2-billion-stadium-for-st-petersburg.ampI haven’t been following close. I thought the new stadium was going to be in Ybor City?

How many players are left in camp?

My dad was from Niagara Falls.
TBH before going into Pizza Plant a few years back, I had never heard of Johnny Ryan pop. At some point afterwards, I found out it was made locally.

The Tampa Rays and their fans dressed as empty seats go down without a whimper. I know the stadium needs to be in Tampa and not St Pete, but that is embarrassing.

Damn…who would have known we have fans of Johnny Ryan soda here. 😂

The D overall will be fine. The first callup is RJ.
I think that KA has something else up his sleeve too.
Sounds like a plan. We will see.

I didn't say they expected him to be hurt. I don't think anyone does.
He will play 50 to 55 games and rest for the rest. That's my expectation and I think that is what the Sabres are planning for.
I disagree. Who is filling that void for the other 30 games? AHL talent Spillman, Bryson & Clague?
…and EJ’s rest days don’t even factor in injuries to any of the other top 6, which then puts 2 of the 3 listed above into your lineup.

Not the cola and diet cola products. They suck! 🤮

He was never expected to play all 82.
He was brought in to play 50 to 55 and to spend the rest as mentor in the room and practice.
The hope is that he will be able to play in the playoff too. That is when his experience will be most appreciated.
Huh? I can understand missing some games to rest him, but they signed him expected him to be hurt for a 1/3 of the season or more?

Isn't that what Pizza Planet calls their calzones?
(Restaurant near the rink for out ot towners such as yourself.)
Thread sidebar, I only went there once, because they serve that Johnny Ryan soda crap. I wonder if they are still cheaping out, or carry Coke or Pepsi products now?

EJ will be fine.
20-21 4 GP
21-22 77 GP
22-23 63 GP6 other times in his career, he has missed 20+ games in a season.
He may be fine, but if I was a betting man, I’d bet he misses at least 25 games to injury.
