Believer

Would bet a bunch they will force their trades if this season goes bad. They both are millionaires many times over. They are playing for glory with their contracts. Pegula, Adams, Ruff, and Appert offer no path to glory, imo. The indifference and incompetence of these men has produced only a growing animus among the fan base the past couple years. Dahlin and Thompson will have to rally their teammates to do it themselves. I’m rooting for them.

Saw him go down in a pile of players by the net at one point. Guessing this is when the injury occurred. Maybe that last faceoff he took before doing a split and face plant on the dot took him out.

Norris is worse than injury prone. He is a china doll. Want to hear what his multi week injury is this time. Muscle tear? Rotator cuff tear? Neck injury? His lower body is fine, so he can skate. Must be something a cortisone shot can’t help. Saw a close up of Norris on the bench shortly after he left the ice. He gave no indication of pain. No wincing, no gritted teeth. Just a blank face.

Norris picked the wrong sport to pursue. He’s not tough enough for the rigors of NHL hockey, imo. Adams knew his history. Took a chance on him. Lost.

Couldn’t watch it live. Just finished watching the delayed recording. Thought we came out with opening night first game jits against a Ranger team that was past that in their second game. Came out in the 2nd and dominated the period but couldn’t score against a hot goalie. Not many rebound opportunities. Too many shots off the net with no chance of scoring. Reminded me of last season. Liked Krebs fighting for position at the net. Liked Zucker getting physical at the net. Hope to see more of that. PP movement was good. Telegraph their shots from the bottom of the circles. Made it too easy for Shestrrkin. Gave the fans one good period in the 2nd and a glimpse of what to expect this season. Fast dominant hockey.

And NHL Center Ice.

Ruff said he won’t waive Georgiev so he can retain the $825k salary on his one year contract. Said he is a good guy who did everything asked of him. Not bad for practices and four preseason games.

Just one game. Up to the veterans to reset. Allen, Cook, Dawkins and Brady, Babich and McDermott need to put in some mirror time this week.

We choked on SNF. Got spooked by a few predictions. Let Diggs get into their heads.

Agree. Guessing the best we can hope for is our human AI experts stay one step ahead of self-actualizing AI. Genie is out of the box.

Luddite? I’m ok with AI Rick as long as there’s a human color guy on the broadcast with insight and humor.

Goodnight all.

Crosby still dominates a game at his age. Sabres need a dominant player.

Nice PP.

Nice feed by Norris.

What a BS call.

Weak audio on Pittsburgh feed to NHL Network or is it my audio bar? Go Sabres!

Appreciate the heads up.

Looks like most of the A Team with a few MightBe’s.

Goodnight all. Will be back 3pm Saturday

The final 23 players, including goalies.

Ruff has three games left to decide his roster. He has to give his regulars a couple games to get ready for the opener. Right?

Poor Georgiev.

Power got married this offseason. Didn’t do much for his game.

9 shots in two periods? What is Ruff up to? Mixing lines?
