Not a buyers market If Linus is out there are going to have to find out a way to do something, their inactivity in addressing the position this offseason left them in a tough spot, and a spot where they were ill prepared to deal with any sort of roster loss.

Yup, they did not address this issue. Carter Hutton did not see many great opportunities tonight. This team is good, but when they need good goaltending, they might be screwed.

I hope things can work out. Maybe I'm being hopeful but my guess is more so a more general issue of it being understandably difficult for him to be away from his young child and family right now. If it was something really serious emergency wise I dunno why "sleeping on it" would even be an option. Not to mitigate the painful mindset he may be operating under at all, just thinking it may be more like the other opt-outs we've seen. Maybe he took one go at it and found his heart wasn't in it.

dudacek 6,315 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 If you are able, watch the Eichel line’s shift starting with about three minutes left in the second again. Absolutely glorious. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That doesn’t fit with Hutton talking about ‘horrible news’ for Linus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SABRES 0311 960 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 I like the new Eichel line. I hope if Staal’s line doesn’t start producing RK doesn’t cut and paste from Eichel’s. You know, instead of moving Skinner where he belongs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He could have meant that the fact Linus is undergoing mental anguish is horrible news. Depression can be horrible news. It was unclear whether Ullmark received horrible news or whether for Hutton, hearing about Ullmark was "horrible news". I thought the latter, but again, that may be thinking hopefully. Just hoping it's not some sort of family emergency. Anyways, no sense speculating further, let's just wait and see. Edited January 19 by Thorny 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only a few things feel better than punching another man in the face. Or stuffing the net with a needless goal just because you can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thewookie1 481 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 That was a true joy to watch; I hope they play like this more often! Maybe a punch to the face is what Dahlin needed, certainly worked last year. Patrick Sharp said the Sabres sent a statement to Philly by sending out their 1st PP unit and scoring after that idiotic play with 2min left. I'd agree 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LabattBlue 689 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Glad that they won. I figured with Hutton in net, they would get bombed. Three games in and I’ve already lost interest. 😂 I did flip over to the game a few times just to check the score...and one of the time I did check, the Flyers scored! 😞 Pretty sad that I found Everybody Loves Raymond reruns more interesting. 😊 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
