Not endorsing the song in the lead. None of them are particularly good goal songs. But Chelsea Dagger is a great goal song and can't see ANY teams coming out on the ice to it. Just sayin'.

Gives an indication that, as many here have suggested, that they're planning on having Mrtka spend this year in Junior. Not surprisingly the Norris line has been tilting the ice in the Sabres favor. Dahlin off the draw. 1-0

Which seems to be exactly how they're coached to do so. (Not saying they necessarily would be more aggressive / better in their own end with actual coaching; but when the coaching is good with just trying to passively take away passing lanes, guys that are predisposed to that style won't be incentivized to adjust.)

Figures that Jeremy White wouldn't be able to work an effective bot farm. Thankfully. Too early to say, but maybe we dodged at least THAT bullet.

Should Bobrovsky have an extended absence, do they have a Lyon to save their bacon again? Missing your top player all season, your best power forward for nearly half of it, and a world class goalie would be a tough row to hoe. Especially when you factor in there will be other players missing a game or 2 here or there.

Who has their 1st this coming draft? Should the Swamp Cats have 1 or 2 more injuries, that team might've lucked into a top 16 pick when they were expecting to get something between 26 and 32. Kind of an inverse of when the Sabres traded O'Reilly away.

Might be a great prop bet (or not) for Vegas should the Bills open on the road vs the J-E-S-T jest Jest JEST or the Jints: in what week will the J-E-S-T jest Jest JEST and Jints combined have more wins in Met Life than the Buffalo Bills have. Would put it somewhere around weeks 8-10 this year. Though that could be giving the denizens of Met Life too much credit.

Am interested to see who ends up with Helenius and Rosen (presuming those 2 will be together) and which D ends up paired with Timmons in Samuelsson's spot. First look at Tuch this year too and the revamped McLeod line. Almost intriguing enough to drive in to watch, but not quite. Streaming it is.

Considering they didn't even have a framework of a new deal moving forward and the current lease runs out in 4 days, probably about the best we could've hoped for at this time.

Hope springs eternal this time of year. 20-0 98-0 23-0 Back-to-Back-to-Back.

Eh, MHO, rather than looking like they were sandstained, they looked like the players had been caught under the world's largest flock of ill cardinals. And they were caught without umbrellas. Ewwwwww.

It is until they've lost 62 points. Right now they're sitting at 0 lost points.

Branstegg-nygard stopped. Power shoots wide. Wings x - - Sabres - - - So, Sabres stacking losses tonight. Game lost 2-5 SO lost 0-1

Kasper 1st shooter. Dekes around Georgiev. Lifts backhand in. Quinn gets stopped on a really slow route. Wings x Sabres - Georgiev stops Danielson going across. Doan dekes himself out. Wings x - Sabres - -

And they're going to a shoot out.

Last 1:15 will be played with the Sabres on the PP unless they manage to score quicker than that. (So, yeah last 75 seconds will be 5 on 4.)

Or not. Announcers claimed it was a penalty Must've jiust been an offside call.. 3. Detriot tomorrow/ Then h&h w/ Pens beginning of October.

Helenius drasw a penalty from Danielson. Sabres to the PP when they get back from the ice cleaning break.

Per the Wings in-rink stats, they have Detroit only out attempting the Sabres 48-34. Being outshot 33-10 (at least by their count), would've expected the Wings to have more attempts and the Sabres less. Probably why the game seems less lopsided than the score indicates. (Though Detroit has definitely been the better team.) And Power with nearly 5 minutes more ice time than anyone not wearing goalie skates. 6+ minutes into the 3rd.

Kesselring with a nice breakup on the PK. And they kill that one off.

No data. Guess they want to see how Georgiev does through a full 60 having faced adversity.

And Detroit will go back on the PP again. Doan with the roughing call. Georgiev still between the pipes.

Hate the new electric rates that got approved fairly recently. Last month, 1/2 the bill was delivery charges. This month they're 60% of the bill. (Used to be more like 20% of the bill.) And NYS wants to force everybody to be 100% electric in the near future. New structures aren't going to be allowed to tap into the NG grid as of 2030. This rate structure is nucking futz.

Yeah, they watch what other teams do and try to emulate it, but it's clear they don't actually understand what the other teams do. Really believe they're trying to emulate Carolina's pressure PK, but Carolina doesn't pressure over the entire zone. They pressure when the opponent has limited options and they can then outnumber the puck carrier AND take away the limited options. And they get the goaltending that can cover for them when they oops it and let the puck get through to the puck carrier's teammates. The Sabres pressure when the other team has multiple options and they don't manage to take them all away typically. Just have this sneaking suspicion that if you ever get to talk to Wilford he'll proudly show you his new watch - it's a Rolodex. 😉

5-2 Copp.on a rebound.
