Doohickie

To be honest I wouldn't have a problem with sending especially Quinn and JJ down to Rochester and let them play for the Amerks. Give them top line assignments with their best center. Let them play big minutes. They're not getting them with the Sabres. If they got sent down as a pair, played a game or two, then came back up I think it would help their game... and their development.

I think at this point we still need Anderson on the depth chart. We could waive him and send him down to Rochester for a while, sure, and he would handle it fine. If he's claimed by another team though, you're left with UPL and Comrie as our NHL goaltenders. If either of them is injured we're looking at Malcolm Subban. You remember the goalie carousels of the last few seasons? I don't want to go back to that again. So Andy needs to stay. UPL is the only goalie that's waiver exempt so these paper transactions will continue for another 6 weeks (barring injuries) until the roster expansion after the trade deadline.

Yes, if there's anything we learned over the past decade, it's that chemistry is at least as important as talent.

This is ridiculous. Power is at least as much about defense as he is about scoring.

He sold it good.

I think Quinn thrives on getting his nose dirty, even if he gets caved sometimes. He reminds me of Skinner that respect. Jost is a big part of that line now. I think Casey was still centering too much but at this point they're all playing their roles properly and the line is gelling.

Meanwhile, in Texas... He can't.

Starting with the 2017–18 NHL season, offending teams are not allowed to take a timeout after an icing.

I'm satisfied.

That was a slick deflection!

...with a power play 🙂

Shortie time. DO IT.

That pisses me off.

Hey NS... second period started, eh?

Expensive penalty, Boosh.

Here comes a shortie.

Like Lazar, only better.
