They can watch or follow these games. I get the 10pm EST starts on a weekday. But, for weekend, I don’t see the big issue they can start at 3 or 4pm PT. It’s not like the arena is being used for something right before the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he played incredible hockey in the 1st period of the Stars game. But he has not been good other than that since the calendar turned to 2023 and he backstopped a couple of inexcusable losses in his 1-4-0 record. They don't know much about what Comrie brings. They need to know if they plan on using him as even the #2 next year. And, again, expected and understand why they're going w/ UPL tonight. Doesn't mean that they don't need to know what they have in Comrie, unless they've already decided to move on from him, which by their actions, statements, & philosophical views of how to treat players they've not done to date. I'm with you that the organization needs to know what they have in Comrie. Anderson very well knew that his status could be very tenuous when he signed for the extra year in what he expected to be the start of his retirement. Anderson is a mature and supportive teammate. He's like an added coach to the staff. But as you noted the staff needs to know what his status will be for next year. It's not out of the realm of possibility that he could even surpass UPL this season if he gets the required playing time to demonstrate what he is capable of. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PickaPecaPickles Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) FL losing is a good thing today. Must get these 2 points before the playoff gauntlet starts 2/21 when 21 out of the last 28 games will be against current playoff teams or rivals for the last spots. I'm excluding Sens, Habs, and Flyers from that group. Edited February 18, 2023 by PickaPecaPickles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 Lots of games breaking the Sabres way right now. Panthers got whacked, Pens and Isles losing, Caps to face the Hurricanes in the Stadium Classic tonight at 8. (I forgot about that one.) Sabres MUST WIN to take advantage. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetlou Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 Posted Wednesday at 07:49 PM So let's have another break out game like they did against Columbus a few months back. I've got 7-3 Sabres. Thompson, Dahlin, Quinn, OP, Tuch, Mitts, and Jost with goals. My prediction from Wednesday was right on. Even got 4 of the 7 goal scorers. Todays prediction: Sabres win 5-3. Olofsson, OP, Skinner, Tuch, and Dahlin with goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the NHL is a niche league without enough national TV contracts (see the current debacle with having to have 4 different streaming services to watch all your teams games), that they absolutely 1000% rely on local TV money to give them any hope of making money outside of a few select markets. Yeah that’s what I thought. Garage league to its core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if half the Sabres games started when you were still at work? Exactly. Hockey games in general. Which is why I pretty much watch them all in a delay or recorded mode and I have to stay off my phone not to spoil the outcome. Hence I'm always commenting on them past the time a lot of you have already gone to bed. This is another should win must win game. Can't leave these points behind if you want to have any playoff chance. Islanders lost today and Barzal had some sort of injury and left the game so there is hope, but you absolutely have to beat the tank teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
