GDT: Flames @ Sabres, Oct. 19, 2023 - 7pm EDT, MSG 📺 WGR 📻

Flames expected to start backup Vlader in this as they try to trade him. 

Expect Sabres lines around 10am and Samuelsson will most likely not play opening the door for Bryson or a callup. 

Game is on ESPN+ for out of town fans.

Samuelsson will play barring a setback

Sabres … 4

Flames … 3

TNT, Tuch, or Clifton with a goal 

Maizal on transit. Delightful Mexican, my favorite. 

Los Mayos in Cheektowaga.

Yo quiero another win.

Guess I’m making tacos tonight.  Gotta decide if I want beef in a hard shell or chicken in a soft shell.   Hmmm…

I think we see Levi again and for the rest of the homestand. I hope they call up RJ as well, not a fan of Bryson. 

 

Hope so, my trust factor with the other guys is not there yet.  If Levi can stack some home ice W's that would be huge for this season.

Who partners with Dahlin?

I would rather Clifton than Bryson. Maybe big Johnson is up for it but that is a lot of minutes. Joker has been there before.

I’ve named everyone but Power or RJ, my guess is Cliffy.

Let’s go Buffalo!

I want one of the Sabres goalies moved but I don’t like their chances of winning without Levi.

Based on what I’ve seen so far this season, Joki makes a lot of sense.

Not his nickname, nor will it be in Buffalo.

Again, no. RJ is the one and only RJ. I get that this is Ryan Johnson's initials but no, stop it. 

This is RJ.

Does Ryan Johnson NEED a nickname? 🤔

Someone was calling him Doc Johnson during the preseason.   Can’t remember if it was Dunleavy or Duffer.  I believe it was one of them.  Don’t remember the context though.

I don't expect Mule to play, but I don't expect him to be out long enough to call up Ryan Johnson. That means we're stuck with Bryson.

Based on how the numbers looked last year I'd do these pairs until Mule returns:

Dahlin/Joker

Power/Clifton

Bryson/EJohnson

 

Clifton is still acclimating and making some noticeable mistakes, but I'd like to see how he pairs with Power. Hopefully the veteran play Johnson bring keeps Bryson from being too much of a liability (and hopefully his "improved" play in pre-season actually translates to decent 3rd pair play but I'm not holding my breath). I didn't really remember Joker playing with Dahlin last year, which probably means Joker wasn't messing up too bad. Apparently their stats for last year are really good. That's been brought up on both Maintenance Day and Expected Buffalo.

 

Last game he had both Johnson and Clifton playing with Dahlin. Then late in the game it was Power. We'll see what the pairs look like at morning skate though

Little Johnson and Big Johnson for Erik. Again, just not RJ.

I like those pairings a bunch.  Johnson can cover the crease while Bryson outlets out of the zone.  Makes sense.  So it completely won’t happen.
