    Would expect him to be on the trip, but not activated unless there is an injury/illness.  Would have to relook at the rules, but believe he could be activated on an emergency basis should a D go out due to illness or injury in warmups, as they'd be below 6 healthy D on the roster.  (Haven't looked at the details on that in a long time, so that might not be allowable, but pretty sure it would be.)

    But that would only help with the roster crunch for a day or 2.

    No, I think they'd have to fill from the active roster. I wonder if Kozak has ever played D.

    I remember 2 good and 1 bad play from him. The first good was he won a battle and cut into the middle of the ice and made a nice outlet pass. The second was on the point for the PP, I thought he had good movement and deception. The one bad play he went in stick first and lost the battle in his own zone, felt like a really weak attempt at puck retrieval. 

    I thought a few times last night that he made some good plays but didn't post about it. Offensively he was very good and defensively he didn't make glaring errors.

    The answer is outscoring the problem.

    The Sabres don't have a problem at goalie.  All three are competent, but not great.  The problem is that goaltending is occupying too many roster spots.  The solution is not necessarily outscoring the problem; it's just playing better defense.  The Sabres didn't allow only one goal because UPL stood on his head; it was because they played a more responsible defensive game in front of him.

    Finally someone who abbreviates Pittsburgh correctly.  Tired of the Pitt references.  That’s a college football team. 

    University of Pittsburgh is called Pitt because Pitt is an abbreviation for Pittsburgh.  It is a valid abbreviation for the city's name.

    On the other side, that is how the Sabres have to play. Has to be all about speed and swarming with that speed and it was. You can win hockey games that way. 

    (although Krebs was probably lucky or smart enough not to get killed :)). There were some mistakes similar to other games but they can survive those with team speed so they weren't costly or overly noticeable.  

    The Krebs hit is part of that swarming/speed game.  It comes with the territory.  But.... unlike being an isolated incident, the rest of the team is now jumping to each other's defense, another part of that swarming style.

    Please don't tell me their playoff standing or I'll drive to your home and shoot out your porch light. 

    Well right now they have none, so...

    This team has another gear with Norris on the ice. I'm not jumping in head first, but I'm cautiously optimistic if...IF...Norris can stay on the ice.

    Also, kudos to Upie; he played well.

    Big road swing on deck. On to the next one...

    This is the difference in having everyone playing on the line they should be playing on, and not having to play up a level.
