Porous Five Hole

Leinonen was decent in Hartford last week. But tonight was abysmal. But you’re right, I don’t think he’s ready for the AHL yet. And yet he’s still better than Georgiev.

Huge night for UPL. If the narrative that he need pressure to be great is true, tonight is the kind of night for him to shine. It’s a big night for him because if he’s bad, it’s OVER for him as a starter in Buffalo. I cannot explain it, but for some reason I’m expecting him to be good tonight. Tage and Tuch can have a big night. I wouldn’t bet against it after the stinker on Wednesday. It’s their MO to be good after a letdown.

Josh Norris is close to full gears. The top six is close to full form. Time to make a run.

Zucker’s impact back into the lineup is a huge boost to the top six. Pushing the kids to the third line and giving Quinn NHL forwards to play with is a huge help. A big game for Quinn is needed or he’s headed to the press box. Still need Benson back, but at least the top six is filled with NHL regulars.

The missed extra point was a killer. Dawkins penalty in fourth and one was tough. Is anybody healthy after this game? Yeeeesh.

Hate the play call on fourth and two there. Especially when Cook was trying to get off the field after third down for a rest.

I don’t think this is unique to Buffalo tho

Ron Rolston’s gardening gloves would like a word

My son is a freshman in a suburb in ROC. He’s reading To Kill A Mockingbird right now. Book reports have changed, but written understanding is confirmed in other ways. There are no textbooks any longer. There are paper handouts (especially math to show the work), but equally as much is completed online. In his freshman year, teachers are allowing for corrections on both tests and homework…and will give partial—or full credit—if proven the student learned what they did wrong. A lot has changed, but a lot is still the same.

Greenway and Beck can stay for now in large part to the fact that they are a regular on the best PK in the league. Peyton Krebs tho…WOOF. It’s time to pull the plug on his spot in the lineup. He brings nothing to the table.

This morning, the Bill ruled TE Dalton Kincaid, WR Curtis Samuel, and WR Mecole Hardman Jr. out for Thursday's game. Even if Moore draws in first, Keon has a spot.

😳

Yes and the coach met with the local beat reporters today after the morning skate and no one thought to ask about it. 🤷

Benson hasn’t practiced since the injury, so he’s out tonight for sure.
