I think people are underestimating the time it is going to take for all teams to get into daily rhythm. And in this case, the Flyers had won two easy games and were about to play a team they had no reason to take seriously. They will give us a better effort tomorrow.

That doesn’t fit with Hutton talking about ‘horrible news’ for Linus.

If you are able, watch the Eichel line’s shift starting with about three minutes left in the second again. Absolutely glorious.

I just don’t like where this is heading. For Linus.

Three penalties taken in three games. That’s one way to improve the penalty kill.

The are on their way, if not already here.

Tom Brady is popular in Buffalo Brad Marchand is handsome. Donald Trump is globally respected People need to eat more spam.

The way the Flyers played we should be up 3-0. Ive seen this movie too many times.

Don’t worry, they will get it sorted out in time to play us.

We’ve been concerned with Carter playing 15-20 games. God help us if he has to shoulder #1 duties. Johansson looked awful in camp too. Im worried about Linus, especially after the “immigration issues” at camp. I’m pretty sure he has a new baby. I hope all is well on the home front.

I am certainly as guilty as anyone of the tiresome over-analysis, but couldn't agree more.

Preferably at dawn.

We suck and home and we suck on the road. Krueger's biggest failure as a coach is he can't find anywhere else to to play.

As a fan of the Sabres and Bills living in the Vancouver market, I would far rather listen to Vancouver radio than WGR. The hosts are far more knowledgeable and entertaining and the guests are far more numerous and insightful. I think a major difference is the hosts in Vancouver seem to be at least somewhat plugged into the teams they cover and, more importantly, good or bad, love covering them.

You’re talking about Sabrespace, right?

I don’t think he moved Skinner out of the top six because he didn’t “earn” it. I think he did it because he didn’t trust him in that role. That’s what I meant when I said people are too focused on promotions and demotions.

I think you’re having a different discussion than I am. My point is if Ralph doesn’t play Skinner more after the first two games he’s a bad coach. Yours (as best as I can tell) is that because Ralph didn’t play Skinner more in the first two games he’s a bad coach. The two positions aren’t at odds with each other.

I think it needs to be acknowledged that Eichel is better with Reinhart.

I think people put way too much emphasis on demotions and promotions. It’s not a pecking order, it’s a team You put together a lineup based on what you think works. If it doesn’t work, you change it. You build your changes around what is working. Skinner is playing well, play him more

For sure, but my point is make some decisions based on who is making things happen. Skinner and Rieder should be rewarded for pushing the play with more ice time.

Risto was better. Reinhart was better. Staal wasn’t good, but he was better. Ullmark was good. Discipline was excellent. Team defence was solid. It didn’t look like a beer league game. Offence needs to be better. Lines need to be changed to reflect who’s earned it. Skinner needs more ice time.

Sure. Doesnt change what I said one iota. Jack looks hurt or out of shape. Ras looks polite. They need to be elite and they need to lead. Just two games but the runway is short.

Much better effort, but not good enough. We need more from Jack and Ras if we’re going to do anything this year.

He’s having another good game. One of those games you gotta just keep pushing.
