I can't see DG giving jjp time off unless his play slips.

We need everyone skating like Calgary and I need 60 minutes not this 20 or 30 or 40 minutes of playing crap.

It's weird that the best thing that happened to this franchise was a 18 game losing streak. It proved Adams correct, gave hc granato, got us Power and completely shifted the franchise trajectory.

Kulich would probably survive the nhl in a limited role. Rousek and Weissbach are probably bottom 6 ready. Murray maybe bottom 3.

I tried to argue this summer that spending money doesn't mean winning. I think Adams didn't want to do the Hall deal but felt obligated to try once more with Jack. I also think Krueger had a lot more power and pushed that along.

Quinn doesn't need Rochester. He needs nhl reps

Don't forget our bet. Bottom 4 you win. Anything else, I still win harr harr harr.

It would not but it might taste good while partaking in the other.

I mean... the most recent cup winner won because of their all star puck mover. I think it is easier to find the stay at home types than the skilled movers but you need some of both. It is why Muel and Boosh are both useful to the Sabres.

Pretty sure Terrapin makes a beer called wake n bake.

Excellent reason to be cautious of xGF. It is based on league averages so if your goalie is good they are above average and if your shooters are good they are above average and that means you end up higher up in in actual saves and gf than the expected because you are better than average. We will see if it is sustainable but I really hope it is to some degree.

Hopefully he is not in the discussion for Chychrun, like at all. First that trade is: Cozens (or similar), 2023 lottery protected 1st, Kulich/Östlund/Similar, and a 2024 2nd Second that trade is: ANOTHER lefty defender. Muel, Dahls, Power, and then Chy all are lefties. Go find a righty who isn't going to demand tons of money that fits with Owen Power instead of spending a bunch of assets for someone who will need more puck touches and costs plenty of cash.

That might be the largest offense minus I have ever seen on one of these charts.

Neither guy survives in the league if they aren't competent at moving the puck.

The Murray deal falling through might be a gift horse in disguise.

I think he broke bones in his face honestly.

I debated but picked Olofsson. If he wants to play that perimeter game he will continue not to score or be very useful. Also, Quinn can slot into his spot pretty easily on the LW. I would like to see Quinn get a chance to see if he can up his game and that is why I didn't pick Krebs either, they want him getting reps.

Whatever 12:01pm is of the new league year is when the 8yr deal gets done IMO.

Good news, Comrie is playing well. Bad news, we need to be lower in xGA if we want sustained success this season. That's not good enough.

Too early yet and they have things to fix. It is only different if they sustain success and are consistently improving.

Here are some accounts that I think are good for the clips outside of the Sabres twitter feed. Also, game highlights

For a playoff spot yes. What's crazy is that Rosen, Kulich, Kisakov, Weisbach, Rousek, Savoie, Novikov, etc... aren't even available yet. And we have a couple of months before Jack Quinn flips his switch (he tends to be slow in a league and then BAM!)

We still have work to do. I think we need another defender and our shooting% will probably regress a bit. Still need to do more to sustain this otherwise it's gonna crash again. Gotta keep getting better.
