The Habs could be looking past us.

Odds are Lyon starts but it would also be a good time to see what Colten Ellis brings.

I thought you were referring to Lyon.

They finally got away from the fully Tage-centric PP.

Can you describe them? I can't find any connections career-wise and he's from northern Minnesota.

That is the question of the day. It's time for Colten to get a start. But who do you feel comfortable starting him against? At MTL? Home vs DET? The Leafs home n home will force Lindy's hand but do we want to wait that long?

There is a tendency to assume whatever you were is what you will always be. Lyon was actually the perfect candidate to elevate to a starter's role. Peak age, experienced, shown flashes of greatness over his career. Let's also not forget my mantra about defense: it makes goalies play better. And the Sabres are playing mostly good defense now. In these 5 games how many jailbreak rushes have the Sabres given up? Now think about the past two years? Even in the first 3 games we have reduced the number of high danger chances by the opposing team. Penalty kill, while still early, is the best in the league. That's a huge corner we've turned.

Greenway is close to coming back. Kesselring is skating on his own. Norris was reported as 8 weeks out.

As of now Sabres have the 4th best power play and the #1 penalty kill in the NHL.

Anyone that certain of the outcome ought to monetize their hunches, right. A classic making- lemonade-from-lemons scenario. Take this game. On Draftkings Panthers are -142 moneyline. So a $10 bet earns $7.04.

I'm going on a little day trip today so I'll catch up with both the Sabres and Amerks when I get back tonight.

Except Utica got two garbage goals very late when the game was in the bag.

Whoops, he is. 😆
