Ellis holding the fort so far. 

UPL should not get a minute as a starter as of now.

I love Doan.

And to think he was the throw-in.

Agreed

[...]

I am not finding this game offensive. Indeed, if it weren't a Sabres game, I'd say it's a pretty good game, generally.

[GoPuckYourself]

Since that 1st game where Kesselring came back I've not been a fan at all, I was expecting him to be a strong, physical, stay at home type and I see guys skating around him all the time and he just lets the offense waltz right in just like everyone else.

Especially considering the current state of the roster and getting little to nothing from Tuch and Tage.

Agreed. He has been less than expected.

What can go wrong? 

Ya 

I'm running a BIG ortho day tomorrow. Two, massive rotator cuff tears, and two labrum tears, PLUS an ACL repair (flipping from lateral, to sitting, to lateral, to sitting, to a knee arthroscopy = a LOT of setting up) while "teaching" a 25-year circulator (who I'd be MUCH faster doing the whole room, by myself) the fine points of assembling/setting up a beach chair patient positioner (who, I've shown over the last 13 years the technique MORE than enough times that they should be, at the very least, proficient at). 

Hopefully, our boys will make the exhaustion worth it 😃

When Clayton Keller pushes you around, you probably shouldn't be an NHL Dman.  
IF you trade away Power / Byrum you can not be in a position where Bryson is a fixture in the top 6

Bryson is going to skate 800 games in a Sabres uniform and be wearing an A when they win the Cup.

Sacrifice him to the Avalanche. And then scratch him until the 11/29 2nd of a back-to-back vs. Minnesota.

Sabres coaching?

True.  And with Timmins looking much better than anticipated, it's a little tougher to get this next statement to get its due, but very often it takes a D-man up to a full season to acclimate to his new team, especially when the teams have different overall philosophies.

And back to Timmons, maybe he looks good in Buffalo because the overall style is closer to the Loafs than what the Pens played so he's more at home here than in Steel Town.

There is still time obviously but not looking great so far.

Bobby, you have to do it. There is no reason not too.  You love it, and  life is too short.

Definitely could be but I don't see any physicality either.

Sweet Baby Jesus, Reverend Kane is working in the medical field now?!

Afinogenov.

It was the RAV line, not the PeRV line.

😉

Yeah, true, although the other line played together some.

[K012010]

It would be great to have a shooter like that on our squad

[Doohickie]

"...doesn't have a shot yet..."

Shut up, Dan.

[Gatorman0519]

Peterka of course. 

[DarthEbriate]

Dang.

On the opening shift it was 1-on-3 and the only one who plays the body is Greenway.

And it was Peterka. Naturally. He's still got a good shot.

[Sidc3000]

[HumanSlinky39]

Ferk.

There were a lot of line mix ups back then.  Roy probably played with Drury and Grier almost as much as he centered the RAV line.

[Pimlach]

Of all people.  Rayzor throws shade. 

[PASabreFan]

Love the fan urging the ref to throw a flag.

[DarthEbriate]

So, at least they didn't give up the goal in the final minute of the 2nd (despite being mostly outplayed the final 5:00). But then they give up a goal in the opening minute of the third.

Wake up!

[Doohickie]

Rob is babbling....
