He looks like Mario Lemieux out there.

Sabres are ahead in SOG.... dahell?

Kevyn prefers the dulcet tones of Dan Dunleavy's radio call.

I always find him to be arrogant as hell.

At first I was like But then I was "Yeah, they're right."

Boy, they needed that.

fify 😉 Moving six miles is not exactly getting out of the city. It's a pretty dense area.

Pretty close to what I predicted in the Cozens thread: Just swapped Benson for Skinner in the Top Six. I think that makes the Mitts line the #1 line.

He's been around long enough that it's hard to remember he's still a baby. Two words: Pipe. Line. There are more centers coming and it's entirely possible one of them will be better in a center role than Cuzzy.

If you're talking black and red theme, I'm with ya, but if they want to wear the white pajamas with blue and gold, no thanks. Do they used those for location tracking?

While the Sabres may not get that many odd man rushes, they do get their fair share of fast break rushes (like the one that resulted in Okposo's goal against AZ. Really all the Sabres' Dmen are pretty astute in making long (across both blue lines) breakout passes.

Don't forget how young Cozens is- he's only 22 versus Mitts who is 25. I wouldn't write off Cozens as a gifted center just yet. Casey had his struggles and his learning curve, and is still working to improve. The fact that he is 3 years further along in development doesn't mean his ceiling is any higher than Dylan's. If you're right, he's still a pretty good placeholder until a center emerges from Rochester.

Kane is actually doing... well, not so bad, all things considered. The real point is that he isn't enough to help Detroit right now, whereas Robinson is helping the Sabres.

It was indicating my disagreement with a position that I nevertheless respect. He's been stoned from the top of the crease several times during this drought. He just needs to get a bounce or two.

It's for trying to get this back on the rails.

I understand your position, I just view things differently. I can even say I respect your position, but it's not a view that I share.

And so far, Robinson is helping us more than Kane is helping Detroit. (Although to be fair, Detroit's woes are more about players that should be on their active roster but aren't right now.)

Only 9 pm for me 😄

We can talk about whether Cozens is 2nd or 3rd C, but in general I'm pretty happy with our center spine. When Tuch, Greenway and Quinn are back, Cozens will be fine. With Tuch returning... tonight?... I wouldn't be surprised to see Tage back at center with lines like: Skinner - Tage - Tuch Benson - Mitts - JJP Jost - Cozens - Olofsson Robinson - Krebs -Okie I wouldn't be surprised to see the centers jumbled up though. Maybe Mitts stays on Line 1, maybe start Tage out centering the 3rd line while he adjusts back to center.
