PromoTheRobot Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 Normally the last preseason game would have both teams playing their NHL roster. This is a special case. Both rosters are going to another camp tomorrow. So to me it doesn't look like they're going at 💯, making sure they don't get hurt in a mostly meaningless game.

Probably the same thing that happened when Miller grew up and Biron was relegated back to his rightful spot as the best backup in the NHL from the late 90's to the mid 00's.

PromoTheRobot Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 7. Konsta Helenius (C/RW/LW), Buffalo Sabres, Draft: 2024-R1:14 I wish I was surprised that Helenius fell in the ‘24 Draft… but, I’m not. Of course, the average-sized, European center got overlooked for hefty defenders. But man, Helenius can play. He’s as quick as they come and turns on a dime, pairing with seriously elite IQ and awareness to make Helenius effective in any spot. He can drive offense, he can finish scoring chances, he can get in opponents’ face on defense, and he can play special teams. Better than all of that, Helenius passionately wants to be an NHL star… the best Finn ever, to be exact. That’s the motivation I want my prospects to have. We know Helenius will stick around North America this season, but I’ll go as far as predicting he works into an NHL role before the year ends, taking the first step towards becoming the desperately needed glue-guy in Buffalo’s top-six 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 If I ran WGR I'd insist we have a separate radio crew calling games. What's the point of having games on radio when all you hear are Rob Ray's long stories? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton is at all the games anyway, or just home games? Even if he did the just home games live, it would be an improvement. Ray just doesn't think about the radio audience.

Taro T Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 And Sabres going back to the PP as a Wing got his skate caught up w/ Prow as he tried to carry the puck out of the zone. Hopefully this goes better than the last PP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 Sandstom doing Sandstrom things. 84 for Detroit brought the puck into the zone and was surrounded by 4 Sabres. Let a shot fly from near the BL that went through the wickets. It MIGHT've been tipped; but if it was it was still about 12' inside the BL with plenty of time for him to react to it. (And not positive it was deflected.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
