Geertsen and Kozak doing double duty, along with Levi who we already knew was going to get the 3rd tonight.

No Tuch.  A little surprised at that.  Wonder if he'll play when Detroit is in town or if they'll hold him out until the Pens or possibly even the Rags?

EDIT: Missed Helenius doing double duty too filling in for Tuch.

Is it me or does that defense look like what Adams has used for most of his tenure here.

So much this.

I know it was only exhibition last night, but it was cool watching a game where you're not clutching the armrest every shift Dahlin's not on the ice.

He's talking about the Adams tenure defence being characterized as Rasmus Dahlin and a bunch of bubble guys.

Bingo.

With a side of Samuelsson.

Helenius again. Noice 

[ponokasabre]

I actually am excited to see Zach Jones

 

I think we will be keeping 2 extra forwards and one extra D for the bench players so I assume the 7th spot is coming down to Jones vs Bryson and from what I have read so far Jones has actually been quite decent.

Adams traded away Montour and let McCabe walk so Granato could ice this D-corps:
Dahlin - Pysyk
Bryson - Jokiharju
Hagg - Miller
(Butcher)
IR: Samuelsson

Curiously, the Sabres won the game 4-1. Tokarski in net. Dahlin was 21 years old at the time.

And a nice line for him with Zucker-McLeod. I think Helenius will get the 2-game looksee at the end of this season (after the Sabres have clinched a playoff berth of course).

It would be better if he was Seth Jones! 👍

The D has come a long way the last few seasons. Albeit at the expenditure of doing anything else with the roster.

Way back in another life long ago, I frequently traveled to Portsmouth, NH and it is still one of my all time favorite places.

No, Tuch is out and McLeod is running his spot.

One of the biggest problems with the Sabres pp is still being ignored. They have shooters on each wing waiting to shoot. That hasn't worked in 4 years. Maybe they'll actually move this year, that would be new and different. 

[Ctaeth]

if they look good again tonight, i might start to get excited about the season.  despite all rational thoughts telling me i'm just getting sucked in again.  what can I say, I have a sabres problem
