The singular constant in all of those names is rightfully Kevin Devine, who's been involved in Sabres scouting and draft prep since 1998.

Jesus, he wired that ***** top corner. I know he can do that, but it always has a surprising release.

Bad things Bryson. Bad things. One silver lining: Ullmark doubles up starts on the back-to-back as he should.

One way that could be interpreted is that Mittelstadt stays in over Skinner and Asplund is recalled to fill for Rieder. Not a great look for either Krueger or Skinner.

I think Friedman was rehashing old news; Montour's status hasn't changed since summer. Maybe he thought the concept could be refreshed based on how Borgen was stepping up when he wrote the article for his deadline this morning, but that engine has been confirmed stalled for 6-8 weeks.

Montour being on the trade block isn't news. He's been bait since last summer. He's a right-shot dman on a team with five right-shot Ds currently on the roster (Risto, Miller, Joker, Borgen) and Fitz and Laaksonen moving slowly up the pipeline. Montour has value as a rental, he's affordable at his end-of-season-reduced $3.85M cap hit, and he'll be tradeable once Borgen returns, if not right away.

Let me do some reading. According to CapFriendly, Will signed when he was 21 (after his junior year at St Cloud), so his contract doesn't slide. He's already on his third year of his ELC, and it will expire at the end of this season, resulting in him becoming an RFA. Therefore everything I said was wrong, and they should play the hell out of him if possible to evaluate his next contract.

With Borgen only having played four games so far this season, the regular season projected to finish May 8, six to eight weeks from today being April 6 to 20, leaving only 10 to 17 Sabres games afterwards, I would expect he gets five more games in and then is shelved the rest of the time to preserve his ELC. I think he was making a good case to get ice time, especially considering our injuries, but the shrewd asset management move is to give him a cup of coffee and then we'll see him next year.[edit: see below]

Hose down with sanitizer and put on your prophylactics, it's time to go to Newark!

Absolutely sick.

Offside challenge?

Lazar tried to carry the puck out one-handed on the backhand. Not only did Barzal catch up, he did so with two hands on his stick, enabling the easy pick. Two Sabres on the wall tried for Ullmark's dump around and none got it. Joker and Davidson were already out of position early in the play, so once the breakout started, no forwards were covering, and no one was home. If the Sabres worked to make any one of things go the other way, NYI's chance doesn't happen.

He's got his wheels tonight and he looks motivated, like there's a fire singeing his rear curlys. Makes sense, as every minute, he's fighting to stay on the roster. If he's looking like that in practice, that's probably what RK is seeing in him.

It pops so brilliantly on TV, I think they specifically tested the blue on in the arena lighting with the TV cameras before selecting it for the changeover. Sort of a lesson learned from the navy blue, which looked ok IRL, but looked black on TV.

Lazar with an excellent tip.
