Doohickie

Perhaps. I'm judging based on a period (of time, not a single period in a game) when they played together last year. They both have some upside still.

Done.

I followed her on Twitter... let's see what else she has to say.

They didn't get Pilut, Pilut came to them. That said, from what I've heard of Pilut in training camp and in the A, yes they are very fortunate to have him.

We've seen Bryson and Dahlin as a pair; Dahlin definitely elevated Bryson's game. I can accept pairing Bryson and Fitz if you can shelter them but that's not as easy to do on the road. I remember it being 12 losses under Krueger, 6 under Meatballs.

I'm reminded of a similar injury to Skinner some years ago. He looked to be done for the season but was back the next game. That said, I think Muel may need some time off; all injuries are different.

On the other hand, the hit stat involves a change of possession. Maybe they're getting out hit because they're doing better with possessing the puck.

They look like the Krueger Sabres. Which is really bad.

Bryson/Fitz have no business being on a pairing together. They are both good complementary defensemen. But to be effective they need to be paired with a lead defenseman (not sure what the term is, but if it were forward you would say they need to be on a line with someone who drives play).

I don't want to see anymore 5-man rotations for a while please. Thank you.

Okay so for those who don't know by now, The Hockey Guy lives near Vancouver, the Canucks are his team. With that, let's queue it up to the Sabres-Canucks review: You can hear his exasperation.

Don't be surprised if Bryson plays with Dahlin. We'll see.

That's gotta hurt if you're a Vancouver fan. I'm looking forward to The Hockey Guy's take on this game.

Waiting for the Eichel Eyes from Boesser

He's one of the guys who was awful in the second. He put on his big boi panties for the third.

Anderson was able to pinch that one off.

He showed great determination to clear the puck from the Buffalo zone and then turn it into a scoring opportunity, and fed a perfect pass to Ollie.

AAAA++++ effort by Mitts.
