Never apologize for being crazy, embrace it. It’s better than be placid and boring. 😀

Ruff said Jacob Bryson and Michael Kesselring skated before practice this morning. Ruff said he's hopeful Kesselring could join the team for practice as early as tomorrow, but he hasn't gotten the report on them yet to see how he handled things today.

They have to get points. Tuch and Tage need to do more.

The dreaded TNT/HBO non-viewing, radio-only abstract painting description call tonight here. Hope Östlund plays well.

Detroit is playing tremendous hockey to start the season. Need Ellis to play above expectation and for Dahlin/TNT/Tuch/Byram/McLeod to all show up at both ends of the ice to get a win.

P.S.  I like our 4th line too.

Same.  On both counts.

Would love to see Östlund step up and be noticed.   We need help at center.

But who will protect them when... who is definitely not that guy...  Edvinsson... starts taking liberties?

😇

The question for the fourth line (which was very good with Mal-Kozak-Danforth, and still good when it was Malenstyn-Kozak-Dunne)... is Krebs an upgrade from Danforth? We should hope so.

If this were a 7pm start I’d go, but 730 will put me home past my bedtime. Go Sabres.

Colton Ellis in the starters net

The best way to protect the young goalie is to maintain possession of the puck as much as possible.  The Sabres can't have another start where the opponent is in our end for much of the first period, peppering Ellis.  They will be down 2-0 in a blink.

On WGR last hour, right after there was discussion of the game being on TNT, Hammy chimes in and calls it a “radio only” game.  Hello…just because it is not on MSG does not make it a “radio only” game. 
 

How much does this guy get paid? 🤔

Krebs is a get-under-the-skin agitator.  It's less tangible than scoring or physical hits, but he gets opponents off their game.

I think this has become commonly received wisdom after it became clear that Krebs would not pan out as a top-6 NHL forward.

For my part, I don't see it. Or, at least, I don't see much (enough) of it.

Must eat Wings.  Let’s goooo

High compete. Plays hard every shift. 

Krebs, Benson, Zucker. Looks like Doan is high compete. 

We could use a few more guys like this group, imo.
