We took a meaningless game to OT against a bunch of vets without several of our starters and a bunch of new people. I really haven't been turned off by this preseason except perhaps by the game prior. Some interesting new pieces, although they're still weak in goal, even with UPL. Levi really needs to bust out and become an NHL goalie or they'll struggle to make the playoffs.

That contradicts the "preseason doesn't mean anything" mantra chanted by so many.

Thanks, Dangles.

Georgie Porgie Puddin' Pie. If he starts let's call him "Puddin'".

Maybe just call him Georgie.

That's just inexperience on Grigorianiski's part. He'll learn to read stuff like that better.

That tight formation, quarterbacking from behind the net on the PP is new.

Speaking of Miller, the waves of Sabres offense getting shots on not from the high danger zone is very reminiscent of Miller-era Sabres. I don't know if I have seen that from this team in quite some time. Can we not have nice things?

I kind of like him.

The preseason had looked so promising, too. The regulars simply have no chemistry between each other.

At least we have Dahlin.

He made it look easy.

That was a nice goal by Norris. Hopefully the guy has healed enough and can last a while.

Can't believe this one slid right by; it's quality humour it is.

Norris and Tommy Dangles developing chemistry.

Muel on his way to the rink:

Power is garbage.

Even the Sabres on the PP avoid giving the puck to Power. I'm ready for a post-Power Sabres.

If the player at fault is debatable, default to Power.

I'm ready for a post-UPL Buffalo Sabres.

Technically it's pre-season, so there's still a chance.

Forgot about the number change, thought Benson had a growth spurt.

Seen a lot of development, no? I lived in Concord many moons ago and, from Google Maps images, Portsmouth seems to be very different, like Austin different.
