Interesting stuff, mjd.  If Eichel and/or other rookies/youngsters aren't socially integrating, I'd say it's up to the older players to break the ice a little bit.

Eichel won't have any trouble making friends. I think the skate away from teammates with the head down is going to become a familiar sight to us. It's how he focuses. He came out for the opening faceoff of the scrimmage back in July and did it. It was very dramatic and it got a huge round reaction from the crowd, but it's not him being dramatic, I don't think.

I don't know if something has changed but they were calling him pesser last season as his name is pronounced pessick.

 

Yea.. I expected him to pronounce it that way. Perhaps he was having fun?  Perhaps he says it that way and others say it like pesser.  Either way.. it was funny to hear.

I know that opinions vary on Weber but he really is a great locker room guy and solid 6th defender.

Also, Mike Weber, Patrick Kaleta, and Tyler Ennis are the only guys to survive the tank. (Did I miss anyone?)

 

They are the only three players that have been signed over that period.  Cody McCormick technically though resigned last offseason.  Otherwise no one is left.  :D

Josh Gorges and Zach Bogosian are week to week. #Sabres

Meh, I'm up for some 5-4 wins.

 

 

That's my prediction for this team.  Forget shutouts.  Lot's of high-scoring tilts, of which the Sabres will lose their fair share, but will win a surprising (to the rest of the league) amount.

That makes for a hound's breakfast in the opener:

 

Pysyk - Ristolainen

Weber - Franson

and probably Colaiacovo -Donovan, but if either Gorges or Bogosian get IR'd McCabe or Guhle could get to show their stuff. I'd expect they'd give the chance to McCabe, but I'd be ok w/ a 3-4 game look-see on Guhle. (Don't think he's earned a full 9 games.)
