They’re not going to get another goalie. Ullmark will get at least another season. And Hutton has another year and the players like him. UPL is the long-term solution in their eyes. The question is where can Johansson fit in the mix.

If you have a garage opener, you should be able to pull the cord above to unlock the opener so you can open the door manually to test it.

No, Krueger said it was upper body but not his head or neck.

His back is broke from carrying the team every game.

And Krueger will sit Dea and play 7 D. ?

I think he’ll improve with time in the AHL. It was a mistake to rush him into the NHL, but it might have been a demand of his to get him to sign. He’s still young and needs to put some muscle on. I think it’s too early to move him unless they got a proven veteran in return. By next season hopefully he can center the 3rd line. It will be interesting to see how they handle Cozens; will he get some time in the AHL to learn the pro game.

McD skates by players, Eichel can skate within a small area and keep the puck away with his stickhandling, and can make more precise passes.

McD has Dreisadel to work with, Eichel has to generate most of his goals on his own. McD does it with his speed, but Jack has better hands.

Skinner looked like he was struggling to skate right from the face off, and then the hit finished him off.

Some reports say he actually had the flu. I suspect he saw Hutton was starting and figured why waste his energy.

Lost to Bingo 2-1. No points, -1, 2 shots.

My first memory of the Aud is from the ‘60s when my dad took me to see wrestling. My favorite match was the midget tag teams. And back then people could smoke inside, so there was this cloud of smoke hanging in the air since there was no AC.

I don’t think the comparison with the Bills doing things right is valid. The Bills aren’t as good as their record and have benefited from a schedule of bad teams. I never liked the emphasis of drafting all the high defensive picks at the expense of the offense, and passing on drafting Mahones or Watson when QB was a clear priority. And the fact football players don’t have guaranteed contracts but hockey players do makes a difference in cutting players. Having said that, the breaking point for me with Botts was when he recently said they need all those defensemen for depth. At this point depth on D does no good when the forwards can’t score.

The Radio.com app that WGR switched to is terrible. I don’t blame the on-air people for a management/ owner decision. Often the app will just keep playing commercials, and I have to close and reopen it a couple of times to correct it. You can tell it’s stuck when no matter when you start it, it’s at the start of a commercial, and when you don’t hear local Buffalo commercials. Also sometimes the podcasts don’t get posted, like the full Sabres postgame. You just get a couple of player interviews.

The Sabres recalled winger Tage Thompson from Rochester on Sunday morning, indicating they will likely be without Kyle Okposo against the Blackhawks.

They’re affiliated with Cincinnati in the ECHL, which is where Rochester calls players up from.

Eichel was shown on the bench giving him a pep talk during the game. It’s time to give him a game off and play Miller.

UPL got a shutout for Cincinnati tonight, he’s now 3-1. Both Rochester and Cincy are first in their divisions.

Rodriguez, Mitts took Sobotka’s spot.

Just DVR the game and watch it when you get home. Stay off the Internet until then.

UPL played in goal for Cincinnati tonight. They lost 4-1.

I’ve always thought the one half is a goalie mask, not a skull.

I can’t watch anymore. Without the top players it’s boring. Now I know how Pens fans felt last night.
