Driving to hockey on the other side of town last week the transmission on my 2015 Caravan with 59k stopped working. Being 30 miles from home, I had it towed to the closest repair shop. Got it back today. They said the transmission filter was clogged with metal particles, but they couldn’t tell how bad the damage is unless they took it apart which is essentially a rebuild for $5-6k. They replaced the filter and I drove it home. The repair guy said it could last two weeks or two years, but if I was thinking of getting a new car, now would be a good time to trade it in. So now I have to decide what to do.

They set Samuelsson’s locker up again today, which means he’ll be practicing soon.

I wonder if Tuch is playing hurt. He just doesn’t seem to have the speed he had earlier in the season.

Buffalo is like the Moses of the sports world. We are allowed to get a peak at what the promised land looks like but are never allowed to cross into it.

Okposo being punished for fraternizing with the enemy by having Eichel over to his house.

I guess you missed all the odd man rushes, breakaways, deflections off teammates, and D zone turnovers.

Actually it’s defensemen. Eichel outskated an AHL player.

They’re not at the point yet where you trade a 1st round pick or top prospect for a veteran top 4 D. That happens when they are a playoff team.

Every team could do better than their third pair. The issue is what’s the cost. And I doubt Adams would be willing to do it.

Boosh and Bryson are a good third pair.

Enough with the D pinching and giving up breakaways. God I miss Samuelsson.

Forwards gliding back instead of digging in to cover. 🙄

That’s not on him, it was deflected.

So who sits for Hinostrosa tomorrow?

Have to keep remembering that they’re missing three starting defensemen. 😤

No, Carolina is suffocating the Sabres in the offensive zone.

Sabres need to send the centers to faceoff school next summer. Sidney Crosby wasn’t good when he started, and spent a whole summer working on it.

They’re going to take turns trying to keep Dahlin in the box.

DVR the game and watch it after you turn the porch lights off. You can speed through the commercials and intermission.

Perhaps he needs to rehab in Rochester.

Organization win night as Buffalo, Rochester, and Cincinnati all won.

The lack of physicality among the defense is hurting them. It’s going to be tough until Samuelsson returns.
