What not rushing a defenceman into the NHL isn't the way to go? Who'd have thought.

I'd imagine his offseason training program was probably messed up quite a bit, so not really surprising he isn't at the level we expect. As for needing a break, its Impossible for us to know but my guess would be playing the game he loves is probably the best for him right now as mentioned by Brawndo, he often starts slow and it's not like he's been bad Best news for us is that they are looking good without him at his best, plus Kesselring is going to be a huge improvement over Bryson / Metsa So maybe things get even better for us as Sabres fans?

Less than 24 hours between games? I don't think that's going to happen UPL or Ellis, doesn't matter. Bring the effort and they can beat them again

Shows what a stiff Clifton was

I promised to lot look until 20 games into the season. Maybe I'll peak if they win tomorrow Also Greenway in for Krebs ....assuming Kozak isn't hurt too bad

I'll be the first to admit I was wrong for wanting him bought out I have absolutely zero complaints on how he has been playing. excited to have Kesselring in there Should be a really strong 6 man d unit

I would dress Ellis as backup. In case he is needed

Nothing sweeter than beating the leafs

Definitely better team up till that BS call against Thompson that led to the leafs PP goal. Keep it at 5v5 and they should win this one

Nylander sure skates faster into the offensive zone than he does the defensive one

That's Kulich goal was probably the prettiest passing play we've seen since the Eichel days

Maybe it should be "maybe they trade Tuch" Expiring contract. 29 years old. would prefer not trading anyone of value from the current roster - yet. BUT you can't let him walk for nothing either

100%. Was just reading that if the Sabres waive him before having him on roster for 30 days, the Blues can claim him and send him directly to AHL. So makes sense for them to carry 3 (if necessary) till after that time

I’ve always thought Tuch should buy a barn — maybe then he’d finally be able to hit the broad side of one consistently

Still leaves a lot to be desired with Norris out for so long. Big roles for 3 youngsters and McLeod is a 3rd line Center. think they need to make a move Leafs fans complaining about effort of their team IF the Sabres can bring this speed and energy against them, they could be looking at a 3 point weekend

Cheers to Malenstyn and Kodak on that PK Edit. I hate Spellcheck!!!

Feel like that play happens 20 times before it gets called once

I like Kulich on the top PP, with his shot it makes it much more difficult for the PK unit to shade towards Tage. Plus I think he's pretty strong on pucks and is a pretty good playmaker

If Tuch could ever get his shot slightly more accurate

Oh oh Peyton I think Kozak is going to take your job when everyone comes back from injury

Reminds me of the first game vs the Rangers. 0-0 game until our 5'8 dman gets beat in battle in front of the goalie hopefully, they can overcome it this time

Definitely not ready to trade Power at this point. however, I also know that McLeod is a 3rd line center and Krebs at best is a 4th line center. That leaves Östlund and Kulich as your top 2 centers (though I doubt they through Östlund to the wolves right away) This is my long winded way of saying that they need a top 6 center and need to explore every possibility, including trading Power Just talking out loud here but if Vancouver is seriously considering an EP buyout after this season, maybe you need to explore what it would take to get him on the cheap?

Good effort. No complaints tonight. Bring that effort every night and we will be in the playoff race till the end

Oops. Didn't see this post not sure how you finish watching this game and come away with that opinion

Glad to see Power getting some accolades or at least not getting dumped on. much more confident and engaged this season.
