GDT: Blue Jackets @ Sabres Oct 28, 2025 6:45 pm ET TV: MSG-B, FDSNOH, Radio: WGR 550

[SabresBaltimore]

The 4-4-0 Blue Jackets are in town with a strange 6:45 start time to take on your 4-4-1 Buffalo Sabres. This game is the 4th one to start in tonight's all 32 team Frozen Frenzy on ESPN2. Games start at 6PM ET and stagger every 15 minutes or so until the last game starts at 11 ET.

 

Another division conference game (that could have implications on the wildcard at the end of the season) and ideally the debut of Kesserling. Who will he be partnered with? Power was the pre-season expectation but he seems to be doing well with Timmens atm. Meanwhile Dahlin and Byram got broken up so maybe he slots in with one of them.

And what of our 3-headed monster? Who gets the crease? I'd give it to Lyon.

 

Let's Go Buffalo!

OK, well is probably too strong of a word. They haven't been our biggest issue on defense. That was Dahlin and Byram. I also think they've been improving the more they played together. Timmens was awful in the first period of the Florida game (which is when I think they started pairing) and got benched for a few shifts and moved off of the pair until Bryson got hurt.

I think they've been trending in a better direction though.

I hope Kesselring can go because we need some reinforcements. Lyon better get the start and Buffalo will need to be sharp early against a young but talented Columbus team.

Another division game

Blue Jackets are in the Metropolitan Division, not the Atlantic.

Important, though, from the standpoint of potential wildcard down the road.  Take two, no loser point for Columbus, please.

Hmm. Why the hell have been thinking they were in our division? Thanks Agree about the wildcard bit though.

The people planning Frozen Frenzy so there is more of a chance there is always some game to be showing

I see my work here is unfinished. I bolded ATM for a reason. Maybe it's too early for those types of references.
