Doohickie

The Hockey Guy had a thing or two to say about that.

No reason to trade, other than to open up roster spots. When the talent is ready, it's ready not just to be in the NHL but to lead the team. Two of our strongest forwards are a second-year guy and an 18-year-old rookie. There's more youth to tap into... tap into it. I'll also note that two of our best forwards (Tommer and Quinn) are on the injured list... and we're (still only) 3 points out of a playoff spot. The Sabres aren't performing where we want them to, but neither are they in a tailspin. They're playing hockey at a .500 clip right now, almost exactly game-by-game. It's frustrating but it could be worse. It's becoming clear that UPL is Goalie #1 on this team. It's also becoming clear that Devon Levi could use some development, which would probably best be done in Rochester where he could get more minutes. Comrie's shown decent backup numbers when he's been healthy and playing. One thing we've seen with Granato is that his teams finish the season strong. If the goaltending settles in and Quinn & Tommer can come back and produce (or they can pull some of the ripe talent out of Rochester) this is a playoff team.

Why was Greenway out? Dinged up? My personal problems are irrelevant.

I'm predicting Rousek. He was skating on the bottom six when he was with the Sabres earlier.

Huh. They won. At home.

He's desperate. He knows the prospects are gunning for his spot. That said, I have to admit he's player who's benefited from 11-7.

Now that's some hustle! If they'd played the last game like that they would have won that one.

fify 😉

No penalty! I'll be damned.

OH MY GOD... WHAT ABOUT THE HIT TO THE HEAD???????

HIT TO THE HEAD on JJP... Again, not called.

That was an awesome shift.

I stand corrected.

SO much clutching and grabbing by the Pens. Ugh.

GOOD. They finally called one. They sure missed the call on the JJP hook.

OMG NO PUCK LUCK ATOLL.

I just heard Josh Allen has a special message for Rasmus Dahline: "Don't worry about that awful pass.... we all do it."
