Porous Five Hole

I don’t agree. All due respect to the player who was claimed, but it really doesn’t matter who CB6 is on a roster. Usually that’s a practice squad guy anyway.

It’s not a loss. Ingram hasn’t dressed on game day in a month. His season stat line is five tackles. He couldn’t beat out Cam Lewis or Taron Johnson, and he’s never going to play over Max, Tre, or CB. It really is kind of a nothing burger.

Utica wins 4-3 in OT 😡

And the Amerks are headed to OOOOOOOOOVERTIME!

FYI Komorov getting top line minutes with Metsa tonight.

Levi stops a penalty shot with 2.6 seconds to go in the second period! We head to the third tied 3-3.

And a PP goal by Helenius ties it at three!

Rosey again after a gross defensive zone turnover by Utica and it’s 3-2. Amerks have some life. Seven min to go in the second period.

Rosen on the PP makes it 3-1 Utica. Amerks still look sleepy.

Amerks host league worst Utica and are down 2-0 with 17 min to go in the second period. Levi could have had the first one, but had no chance on the second one. Not much of a spark for the home town team so far.

Not sure how this team shakes off the “we’ve won two in a row and we are good so we don’t have to go balls out” like they did against St. Louis & Calgary. And last year. And the year before that. It has been a recurring theme with this squad for a while. Tage called his teammates out the last time. Tonight is a huge game. This team needs to show that they can flush away recent good results and work their azz off and earn it. The injury bug is no longer an excuse. How hard are they willing to be to play against? Dahlin and Tage score tonight and Ellis does enough to get a win. Let’s gooooo!

Sabres top six is healthy, Dahlin is playing great, and we are getting a steady diet of backups. Phili: Backup confirmed this morning Winn: Backup or third string since Helle is on IR Calg: probably Wolf even tho Cooley’s numbers are better. So kind of the backup? Edm: Most likely the Skinner experience, so who knows what we are in for. Van: backup or third string because Demko is on IR Sea: Starter We are getting almost everyone’s worst in the crease and we have to take advantage. I’ll say 4-1-1 when it’s much more likely it’ll be 2-2-2.

When you speak to him, can you please find out what goalie interference is?? Cuz no one knows…

Flyers backup Samuel Ersson was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, indicating we are getting the backup tonight (per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Phili). He’s 4-2-2 with an .859%. Ripe for the picking!

That’s totally fair. I still think he’s best served in the minors while he gains some weight and feels pressure to lead and produce for his team. I’m glad we got to see at he can hang in the NHL and his future can be bright.
