Notes: Adams said every player has received his doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. “That’s a great thing for us in terms of where we’re as we start camp,” he said. … Adams said defense prospect Mattias Samuelsson, who blocked a shot late in Friday’s Prospects Challenge opener, is week-to-week with a lower-body injury. http://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/zemgus-girgensons-excited-to-be-back-believes-sabres-rebuild-can-work/

Daniel Day Lewis to play Hasek. He could probably do it.

I don't see it that way. If we are going to get fair value he will have to go out and prove he can play, and play well.

And Okpoos and Girgs to regain their checking role. They were really excellent together for awhile. Hard to play against Bad goaltending will hamper some of the players and take away that safety net they need to get going.

What if Skinner is with them?

This is fun actually talking about hockey!

Yup Keep that ATM line together! I think they realize they have a talent there. I was running the PP basically in the prospect game. He needs someone to feed him the puck with that shot he has

I'd just leave that open until a captain emerges. Making a player like Grigs or Kyle captain would be premature. They might not be in the line up long for all we know.

I really enjoy Genny Cream Ale now. After 40 years of not touching the stuff I buy a six pack regularly

If he comes back, and he will have to, and there is success, ya, I could see happy smiling faces. In life, anything is possible with winning. If he comes back and they lose, that will just be more frustration and anger (probable outcome, imo)

I thought he kind of did have a system of "Turn and burn." Get moving up ice with speed as quickly as possible and hit the blue line running. Reminded me of how Tampa plays. That's why the drafting of fast players. But that's just my perception

A couple of games turns into ten games, then twenty...

Sure would look better with Jack in that mix.

And if they play well together, as they have in the past, they will be a real help. I like Skinner being with them to capitalize on their forecheck

It has not happened yet, sorry, I'll add time

You will live to behold the brave new Sabre world!!

Adams and Granato to speak to the press. Post your thoughts here! 🙂

I guess the only thing would be is that he might of said he does not want to be here anymore. I get this from Adams saying he only wants players that want to be here. Still. I don't blame Jack for hating this losing. Seeing how the goaltending issue is not going to be fixed, we are going into another bad season. I don't hate Jack for not wanting to waste his career on a perennial loser. And KA has his hands tied with the injury situation. We all need to have patience on this one, in my opinion

I never believed this. I think its crazy to expect them to be able to trade a player who may never play again. I mean this procedure sounds rather problematic. No wonder the Sabres can't find a dance partner.

He's injured and would be sitting no matter what, right?

Winning solves a lot of problems. But winning looks like it might not happen anytime soon, so KA is going to really look bad. He is in a tough spot. An injured super star that wants to be traded. I don't blame KA for not being able to trade a horse with a broken leg. The other teams are not stupid. I'd rather e hold onto the asset to see if the situation improves so we can get the best return. It's just the best thing to do, IMO

I was just down at the dock and they are pulling boats out of the water. That’s horrible.

The Boulevard Mall?
