Not that I know of but here are your goal scorers 2 goals for Matt Savoie. 1 each for Rosén, Kulich, Kozak and Lindgren.

3 stars for me: 1) Savoie, he was flying and he had some great shifts out there. 2) Novikov, he looks like someone who played in a very good men's league for the last 2 years. His offensive side is brutally underrated. 3) Isak Rosen, he just seemed to be around the puck a lot tonight and you could see the playmaking especially. Shots were 28/21 Buffalo Other thoughts... where the hell was David Reinbacher for Montreal? He started out noticeable and then vanished halfway through the first. Owen Beck was noticeable a few times throughout but nothing popped. They just really lack that high end offensive pipeline. Sure they had some big guys and you could see some of that physicality but as Duffer and Baker noted, Buffalo never backed down from that and actually seemed to engage with it more and more. Benson had moments and was visible but I think he looked slower as the game wore on. Still gave his all every shift. Ryan Johnson was as good as Novikov in a lot of ways but he has a bit less flash. Johnson is really that solid 5/6 who can play up because he is never going to do anything dumb. I wanted more from Kulich, when the puck wasn't being slipped to him by Rosen, he was I guess around but idk I just wanted more. Kisakov flashed that skill but I think he is another couple years of hard work away. Finally Panocha looked fairly good and I am very intrigued by him. I wish Strbak was here but that's okay. Good win. Personally I think the Sabres talent level in the prospect area is superior to Montreal so I would expect such a thing. In these short tournaments though you never know and I think Buffalo got better as the game progressed while Montreal just got more and more frustrated.

oh my, Matt Savoie. I will find that and post it even though X is trash and doesn't embed. Thanks ELON, you turd. https://x.com/SabresPlays/status/1702846511778762963?s=20

The AHL is not ready for what Novikov will be by January.

That was my understanding, you just need to maintain control.

that Novikov to Rosen connection Novikov is always hard🤭

In mother Russia, Novikov eat you.

Novikov when a forward is bearing down on him... immediately takes the puck away.

Looked better as the period went on. I think Buffalo has more talent but they gotta obviously put it all together. Rosen has been a good one today and you can tell that Savoie and Benson play together.

If you care to watch Ottawa v New Jersey https://www.nhl.com/senators/video/ottawa-senators-live-stream-6336964896112

He's got an excellent shot but really needs to improve his handling and his decision making to truly be a strong driver of offense at the NHL level. He really needs another AHL year to work on all of this. I think the organization would promote Rosen to the Sabres before Kulich but that is just my opinion.

I doubt SJS would trade Musty so recently after drafting him and they are rebuilding so idk what we would trade for him if he were available. Musty, for those who don't have it in front of them, was drafted 26th overall this past year. No reason to trade for Luke Tuch at all. He is going into his 4th year in college meaning he will be a UFA in August if Montreal doesn't sign him. I would just wait and Buffalo is also swamped with forward prospects so I am not sure Buffalo is actually a good landing spot for his career. To be truthful, Tuch's numbers in college project him out to maybe a middle 6 AHL type of guy. There just isn't any reason to trade assets for that.

DARK! HI!

You mean 19. He won't be 20 by December 31st.

Most interested in Novikov at this. The 3v3 tournament was one thing but this is closer to real hockey. In truth he should look very good as he has played against men for the last 2 years and his strong.

The issue isn't if Terry Pegula thinks he has brown kids, it is that the suggestion by 11 is that Pegula can't be racist because he has children with a mother of Korean birth. What about having a wife from Asia means that Pegula is suddenly enlightened about Black struggles in the United States? I have an acquaintance who's wife is of Mexican heritage and he is one of the worst ppl I know when it comes to the border and the racial struggles going on in America. Suggesting that just because someone has a wife, kid, partner of a different race therefore they obviously wouldn't say or do something racist themselves is f##king stupid. And with that, I am going to let this thread be. I said my piece.

It was a bad point, in fact it is pretty cringy. The fact 6 ppl think it isn't makes me wonder if maybe my time here has run out. And? This means your Filipino neighbor is suddenly incapable of thinking Black Americans should and I quote "go back to Africa"?

This comment is very cringy.

PPG and continued success with Tage and Tuch.

Quick, describe the last 24 hours of Buffalo sports...

I changed my mind. Levi is going to be in the Calder conversation and could win it. He will see about 45-50 games and other than a December slump, will be exceedingly excellent throughout the season.

I think my issue with it is that with a better coach, Josh Allen is a very good QB.

Just like 13 seconds, there will be no consequences. Kaiir Elam looked great tonight. Really good value with that first round pick.
