Amerks lost 5-0 with Houser in net to Penguins. Matt Vernon called up from Jacksonville to back him up. Hartford’s Harpur was suspended for 4 games for running Sandstrom.

Matt Vernon has played well in Jacksonville since last season. He could be a backup for Houser.

He’s basically played center his whole career, including as leading scorer in Rochester. They never gave him a chance.

Wish they gave him a chance at 2nd line center and moved Cozens to wing.

Should have happened after the first week.

You could try mixing it up by watching the Lifetime channel with movies about a career woman who finds love on Christmas with a guy rocking terrible looking stubble, who turns out to be a serial killer.

Samuelsson didn’t just make one mistake. He cost them goals against in multiple games due to mental mistakes. By not sitting him for a game it sends the message that the captain and alternates won’t be held to the same standard. And if he’s really a leader Samuelsson would have accepted it. Don’t make a rule and then not follow through.

Samuelsson should have been sat after the first few games. But Lindy never followed through on his holding them accountable claim. The Isles 4th line has been mentioned for years as the type that the Sabres needed. We’ll see if they’ve met that goal.

Kulich is being wasted sitting. Give him a chance between Zucker and Quinn, or send him back to Rochester.

Some southern states have actually reduced the number of polling stations, in particular in minority districts. And some states like Pennsylvania don’t allow mail-in ballots to start being counted until the polls in their state close. It’s not a money issue, it’s a political issue decided by state legislatures.

Record the games and watch after it’s over. Win-win.

Colorado has 17 players with better plus/minus than Casey this year.

I am related to her. Still going strong at 93.

It’s a team sport. They have to go through 5 players to get to the goalie. He’s always been a minus player.

All that and he’s still a -4 plus/minus defensive liability.

And the Sabres could do the same to other teams. It would make GMs have to work smarter.

I wonder if Quinn’s Achilles injury may have permanently changed his skating ability.

I’d like the players to push for a reduction of the compensation required to sign another team’s RFA to an offer sheet to encourage more activity.

No relation to Mocha Joe, nor Samoa Joe or Cup of Joe.

The ECHL Jacksonville Icemen get a nice trip out west to Lake Tahoe to play in the first ever home game tonight for the new Tahoe Knight Monsters.

Did he ever respond when invites were given? Like I said, help him out and at least remove his injured player.

Like a week after you play him? 😉 You should at least remove a player who’s been out for over a week from his active roster.

Based on his preseason play I’d say he’d be an improvement over Sandstrom.
