This team is once again being outworked and outskated.

He was literally shoulder to shoulder with Bratt but sure, what you said.

Glad Connor Clifton decided to abandon the zone on that goal. Just left his guy all alone in the center of the ice.

No.

1) Sabres point total? - 96 2) Will the Sabres makes the playoffs? - Yes 3) Sabres leading goal scorer? - Tage Thompson 4) Sabres leader in total points? - Tage Thompson 5) Sabres MVP? - UPL and Levi 6) Sabres ROY? - None or Kulich 7) Best off-season acquisition - Ryan McLeod 8.)

Ruff's back so...

They should be looking to move on from Rosen, impo.

Kulich they like but see no issue with him playing in Rochester as a 20yr old since most AHL rookies are 20. They liked Helenius but want him to get a full AHL year because he is adjusting to the physicality of the AHL/NA game.

And here's our last lineup before the game tomorrow:

Yea, he's been bad. Never did much after leaving

Y'all want a goalie? Have I got a guy for you...

unless there is an injury, this is your lineup

Athletic projects Buffalo to 89points this season but notes that coaching could have a big impact on that. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5786651/2024/10/02/buffalo-sabres-2024-25-season-preview-playoff-chances-projected-points-roster-rankings/?source=tw_c_buf

Yet just about every Lohrei metric is worse than Power but because he's a Bruin, he's better. And your justification is "trust me." At Even Strength Owen Power absolutely wrecks Lohrei while also playing tougher minutes being 2 years younger and being on what was a worse team defensively overall. I truly cannot believe in 2024 I have to defend that Owen freaking Power is better at hockey than Mason Lohrei.

As I said, you prefer the style of how Lohrei plays defense. Owen Power by any metric we want, has been better though.

I just don't believe one guys internet opinion when it's not backed by anything other than "because I said so" from your end.

You know what's crazy, that you know the sections of the CBA this well. I will believe you, I just don't think Buffalo would make that move though.

It isn't happening so don't worry about it.
