Well this is less than ideal

It’s why Jeff continues to be an enigma. He just doesn’t play within a system. Feel like Meatballs system (or lack there of) will benefit him. We’ve seen some good results. Putting him with guys who create and expect their teammates to do what they might do in any given situation isn’t going to work. It’s why he was playing with scrubs in Carolina and why Ralph hated him. Jeff is an NHL player but it’s challenging to put him in a position to succeed without being a detriment to the team. I think Granato figured it out when his team is healthy.

As we saw with Jack and Evander, not all players mesh well on the ice no matter the skill level. Tage could use a great passer and a mucker on his wings. Are those players on the roster? Idk, Asplund is enoug of a mucker and a good enough passer to work effectively with Tage. Olofsson wasn’t bad in that spot.

If he was 6’4” 230 lbs, it’s a different conversation.

I loathe the over the top theatrics of Wrestling.

I don’t really like any of the selections. Too much nuance as to what his career may become. As @The Ghost of Yuri indicated, the better question is what will he become. A 1 C, 2 C, 3 C, top six winger. Just too much unknown at this point. I am excited that Donnie is giving him full exposure at the C position. Let him spread his wings and see what happens.

Only select Amerks games are on TV in Rochester. Usually 5-6 games a season. I haven’t heard about any for this season yet. AHLTV is strictly pay per view or a season type package. I forked over the $70 for this Amerks season (that’s roughly equal to one trip to the BCA for me for one game for a ticket, concessions etc).

Let’s not ignore that he’s 5’9” 175 lbs. I have no problem with him or his game but roster spots on the backend are going to get sparse in the next year or so. Dahlin Joker Power Samuelsson Johnson These guys are probably locks for 2023. That leaves us Laaksonen, Bryson, Fitzgerald battling for 6 and 7. Maybe there is a spot idk. I still think they need a stay at home vet to pair with Dahlin.

Well you can pay for an individual game and stream it through AHLTV. If you are looking for something else, I’m not sure if those options are available for an AHL game.

Will Krebs be a permanent fixture between Quinn and JJ? How many more games does Mattias need before joining the Sabres?

The ignore function is your friend

A Canadian delicacy

You should see him get after a peameal bacon sando?

He had nice analytics for a dozen games or so. Took a big hit, got injured and was never the same. He avoided contact like I’ve never seen before.

Tells me they are playing the right way, they just don’t have the horses to capitalize. It’ll come when they infuse the lineup with talent. In the meantime, they are watchable even minus 3 of their best players if not their actual best players.

@DarthEbriate

I don’t think since LaFontaine and Mogilny have I ever tuned in to watch an individual player.

Indulge me please

Y’all have a lot more time and energy than I do

Yeah and the Sabres have at least 6 dmen at the AHL or higher that offer a similar skill set

Does the day end in “Y”?

Glad is was Wilson whose dumb ass was laying in the net when we scored

The guy sitting behind Granato is creepy af Won the trade
