Pimlach

I miss a lot of things about the times past. My first house was the flat above my grandparents house on the West Side. They were there everyday. I saw my extended family everyday. Someone else owns that house. The family business is gone after 90+ years. The church has long been closed. The school is now an immigrant relocation shelter. Times change.

Tonight's the night

Well, I am not a "won the trade" guy. Doan is fine, he is being pushed by getting 1st line and PP minutes. Doan looks more of a middle 6, than bottom 6 to me. Kesselring was the big piece of that trade.

I don’t know about separating himself. Lyon did not play much in November after carrying the load prior to that. It’s hard to trust UPL based on this. Last year he was terrible, Reimer finished the season much better than UPL.

Agree. But Kulich played a lot of center last season and some for parts of this season. Kulich is still valuable as a winger and versatility is never a bad thing. Östlund is a true center. He sees and feels what’s happening on the ice and is smart with his positioning. So far he is willing to get back and be defensively responsible. He plays like he has had good coaching coming up.

After some thoughtful contemplation I must say that I am for him.

Philly - W Wpg - L Calg - W Edm - L Van - W Seattle - W 4-2 - Playoffs here we come!

Another coaching staff is seeing some of the things that the Sabres saw.

AND, it saves Terry a bunch of money in hotels and in meals (per diem).

It sure seems like Östlund has taken a job from Kulich right now. Until they figure out the 3 goalie situation they will have to release either Dunne or Kozak. Dunne might be the one waived and is the most likely to survive and make it back to Rochester. I think Kozak would be picked up by another team if waived.

I don't think he is out for the season, I think that would have been announced if it were true.

Excellent win. Norris adds skill to the top 6. Just hope he stays in the line up. I thought a lot of Sabres stood out tonight. Get rest. Get on the road, and then beat the slugs in Philly. They think they play that “heavy” game. Just blow on by them and dominate.

Dunne could handle him.
