Sabres Fan in NS

The Sabres will be fine. They will not be a WC team. Top 3 in the Atlantic. 110 points. Take that to the bank.

The Bills will teach the Jags a lesson they won't soon forget. 38 17

My condolences. We escaped The Great Satan 25 years ago. I have never been back. The only good thing about it is that it's close to Buffalo to take in many Sabre games and the occasional Bills game.

The Saddledome (or whatever it's called now) in Calgary is very old. And it looks terrible.

Sorry for calling you out on this. The weather is down right tropical. Very fitting since TS Phillipe will be arriving over-night on Saturday / Sunday.

Also available in Canada on Amazon.ca .. will be ordering soon. Knowing some of the details of your story it will be a somber read. Thank you to both of you.

We still have a Fantastic Friday thread, but it does not seem to be opened often. The OP is not around a lot to take care of that like you are now.

And that Nylander on waivers yesterday, so the Sabres could get him back for nothing. Win / win ?? Probably not.

I think you are right, but the biggest non starter haas to be Power with Joker. Mule and Dahlin worked so well last year and I think EJ is perfect example and will cover up for Joker as he matures. I like Joker and I think he will be a good player, but he needs the right partner now. I think he is 26 now so he is nearing the point where he will be who he is.

MUST WIN !! GO SABRES!!

I'd have Mule with Dahlin; Power and Clifton; Joker and EJ. Other than that and UPL in the rafters in Rochester and Comrie as backup an we are set for opening night. KO in for either VO or Jost. I hear you, brother. I graduated in 1985. Exactly 20 years before before Benson was born. WTF !!

And including UPL. Comrie as backup and KO on the 4th line and we have an opening night roster with either Jost of VO sitting out.

Maybe we could convince KA and DG that they need to carry 4 goalers and make that 100% for sure.

That is my lineup (lines and D combos too) on opening night and every night after that unless someone gets hurt. Only thing I add and only for clarity that there is not a 3 goalie situation ... starter = Levi and backup is Comrie (who always looks a little cross-eyed to me).

It's just preseason, but UPL is at least #3 on the G depth chart and I see no reason to carry 3 on the active roster. Sorry, pal, but it's to Rochester or some place else for you. I think Rochester will do for now. It's just preseason, but the experiement with the kids is over. The remaining games and practice needs to be with the rostered players + only 1 or 2.

Don't foget about the snow. Even on the last day of school in June.

I hope that all is well @Doohickie. TS Phillipe will be passing through overnight Saturday / Sunday. This is getting to be a *normal* thing.

Jimmy has some moves .. 😎

The D overall will be fine. The first callup is RJ. I think that KA has something else up his sleeve too.

In other news .. I expect the exact same from Gus as we have always received. I didn't have to check to see who the 1 SabreSpacer is that tossed the turd into the punch bowl. (insert winkie thingie here)

F the new Twitter too.

I didn't say they expected him to be hurt. I don't think anyone does. He will play 50 to 55 games and rest for the rest. That's my expectation and I think that is what the Sabres are planning for.

He was never expected to play all 82. He was brought in to play 50 to 55 and to spend the rest as mentor in the room and practice. The hope is that he will be able to play in the playoff too. That is when his experience will be most appreciated.

EJ will be fine.
