I have to say, he looks much bigger in black. 😄

Yes. More physical, better hands, and all around more effective.

Asplund is day-to-day.

Comrie's glove: UPL's glove:

I think Bryson is a good enough 6/7D. The problem is that with the losses of Boosh, Muel and Joki he was having to play heavy top 4 minutes and that was simply too much to ask of him. I had a higher opinion of him last year but at this point I think he's in JAG territory. I think the NJ game is HUGE. If the Sabres win that game they may be on their way back to relevance.

No. The Sabres do this to him. Every morning.

I think that whole line is just going to get better and better as the season wears on. You can point to the holes and the lack of depth, and yes those are concerns. But the growth of this line is really what will drive the prospects of this team.

I will say: Our depth can handle the loss of Bryson more readily then the loss of Muel or Joki. Looking forward to some Fitzgerald or even Clague.

I would say the Sabres passing wasn't that good to be honest, BUT they passed decisively and adjusted to the passes instead of just doing fly-bys. Defensively, there were periods where they gave the Blues too much respect but other times when they didn't give them a millimeter.

Okay. You called it. Full marks!

Enjoy.

I remember Andy's good starts. I'll tell you what, I think I agree with you. After tonight I have more faith in Luukkonen than Comrie. When UPL was "on" tonight he exuded a certain swagger. I hope that swagger feeds on itself.

Yep, and Spoonman will be right there with me.

The team didn't look good his first game. Not saying he's the guy. But he could be.

In Black, anyway....

He's not the Dominator. He's LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

CRANK IT!

The seal is broken. Look for more from Quinn.

Even Dunleavy is in on the LUUUUUUUUUUkonen!

Small sample size but I think maybe he is.

If for no other reason, this makes UPL our starter for sure.
