I'm happy he is blocking him if he is playing like this

The reason I ask is because I don't think they've won a game where he's been missing yet this year. Like 0 for 10 ish

The most surprising thing is Krebs imo. Without Dahlin, would the Sabres be the worst team in the league?

My understanding from following along with Kris Baker's tweets was Ratzlaff was seeing 40+ shots every game of the series. He was likely the only reason that they won any games.

It wont matter for the Sabres this year, but it will matter for the player. They get a taste of action in the big leagues, get a nice pay check, are rewarded for their good year, and hopefully further motivated to make it full time. It's an early vote of confidence from the organization and a reward for their play

Hes had 2 straight years of being a top 5 ahl goalie. I suspect he is a candidate for player of the year in the ahl. He leads the league in shutouts. The team is dominating with him in goal. Hes letting in like 2 per game. There's nothing left to prove at the ahl level. The only question left is how to integrate him

At this point, he's proven it in the AHL and deserves a real shot next year. How the Sabres end up incorporating him into their plans though is the tough part: Does he start the year in the AHL and then is given a shot in the event of injury? Does he start off as the backup? Is he given a real chance to compete for the #1 spot in camp? I feel like all of these are definite possibilities and it really depends on how well the AHL has prepared him for this

Feels relevant to bring up Quinn right now in the middle of his hot streak. 8 points in last 4 games. Maybe a glimmer of hope? The real reason I wanted to revive this thread was two fold: 1) Apparently Lance talked to Quinn at some point. The linked article (https://buffalonews.com/sports/professional/nhl/sabres/article_c728a2c0-c308-44cd-a221-49a5abe699d0.html) has a few quotes from Quinn with commentary from Lance. Obviously there's a paywall with the BN so I'm not going to post the whole thing, but here's a few snippets: So, in other words, the injury did affect him this season because it didn't allow him to train like he normally would and thus he was slower. The other thing relevant to Quinn is coming late to the morning meeting and getting benched because of it. It sounds like he was pretty embarassed about it. since missing that meeting and being scratched as a result, he's +5 with 8 points in 5 games. maybe jack's motivation for this recent spurt of good play is tied to him being embarrassed about the missing the meeting? 2) the infamous blue and gold insights regarding conditionining: https://x.com/TheSabreReport/status/1905042868437213435 Ruff blames the Sabres issues partially on conditioning coming into the year. Based on the above, seems likely Quinn is at the very least partially the reason behind this Let's hope our boy is on track. Based on Ruff's quotes from Blue and Gold insights, it seems likely that both him and Quinn will be back next year.

You down with jbd? Yeah you know me

welp welp

Anybody have an idea of how his name is correctly pronounced?

These idiots got me to check the standings. I am pathetic, just looking for literally any reason to believe. Sabres are like the former girlfriend that hates you but still love her anyway

Would that be Krebs first win in a fight? I don't remember him ever getting the better of anyone.

Hopefully we sign Brannstrom so we can collect all the Brysons. Any other Brysons we can trade for? ftr this was a joke, i really like Brannstrom on the amerks. he has a lot more offensive pop than bryson
