Eleven

I've been giving this some thought while not watching the Sabres not play. I'm thinking of some of the diagrams I saw when the season first started -- a 1-3-1 formation--and I like that. I'd like to see Ristolainen at the bottom of it with Eichel at the goal line and three forwards in the middle. One, let's call him "Viktor," can be responsible for covering the point if necessary, one, let's call him "Taylor," can play the half wall, and the third, "Samson," does the traditional job of harassing the goaltender and generally making life difficult for the opposing defensemen. I don't want the powerplay run by Ristolainen at the back; I want it run by Eichel at the top.

As Marvin says, they should be. Here's the pertinent part of the article: No, it's definitely COVID and has been reported as such.

Best way to look at it. Now let's hope they use it productively.

I really needed this, for this evening! Oh well. Maybe it gives Krueger time to reconsider whether Mittelstadt belongs on Eichel's line instead of Skinner.

That's for the Uyghurs.

And to do it in the right manner.

Well that was a kick in the nuts. Another juicy rebound from Hutton.

Two Rasmi!

Thank you Risto!!!!!

The Sabres waived Jason Pominville once. Ended up playing over 1000 NHL games. I'm not going to let whether a guy was on waivers be the determining factor.

Not such a great beginning. Lots of floating.

Bennett for Mittlestadt, straight up. The pull-up trade.

Of the Amerks.

I can say in two words why this game went to OT despite Buffalo having MUCH better talent. NJ forechecked, had better entry, had better defense, but Buffalo had better players. The two words: L___ R___

Yes, and the NEW rule was poorly applied. geez.

??

No, that was poor application of the rule.

The slashing call, meh. The tripping call? AWFUL.

Is Eichel hungover?

Unquestionably.

The "real conservatives" give into the "far right," though, every time, which pulls the progressives toward the center (Pelosi--she is not a liberal, not even a moderate one). It ends up being two.

I don't understand how Pacific time people live.

I love 1pm weekend games. (I love 4pm even more!) I have a choice between watching today and watching tomorrow, and I'm choosing today.

I definitely saw them if they sang in the 80s.

Needs to be a Barkley / Peterson level of talent for a RB to be a sensible pick in the first round, and even then, it needs to be a team with almost all needs already addressed.
