Doohickie

He said neither he nor his agent were ever approached by Kevyn to extend him. I also think he said he would have preferred to stay a Sabre.

I was going to say the same.

Cozens to 4C, Krebs to 2C, with Quinn and NAK. Or if you want to look at it differently, Quinn to the 4th line, Lafferty/Benson to the 2nd line. Krebs is never going to be a true 2C but as a temporary measure to shake things up... yeah, maybe.

I'm not ready to admit that giving Mitts away to get Byram was a good move. It's starting to evolve that the reason isn't Byram himself (I think he fits Lindy's system okay), but that without Mitts the offense has holes. If the second line was clicking I wouldn't be missing Casey. That was, by the way, why I liked Mitts so much: You could play him at any Top Nine forward position and he would do well and elevate his teammates. Maybe Zucker or McLeod is that guy now, but I haven't seen enough of either one yet.

So going into last night's game they were 3rd place in their division. With the loss to Florida they dropped to 7th in the division, 12th in the conference. Does that affect anyone's view of whether they make the playoffs? I think they make it. I think Sabres will continue to grow as the season plays out. A team like the Panthers is already mature, knows there system, and the handful of new guys are just following along. The fact that they couldn't close the deal after hanging with the Panthers for two periods doesn't concern me that much.

Naw, they'll be good come November.

When Cozens/Quinn come around they'll be fine.

Guess not. Sure looked offside live; I'm surprised they didn't call it.

That was offside.

Well *****.

Nice time wasting there, Muel.

Wiley move by Krebs to goad Greer into a penalty too.

Great support behind the Sabres net by Krebs.

Everything but the goal.

Greasy. I like it.

fify

Sabres will win. They got this.

I don't have a clue where his brain was going there.

That goal is on Dahls.

Oh you're kidding me.

Shots on goal 4-1 in favor of the Sabres so far.

I dunno, I've seen him cracking jokes and such, but he seems pretty taciturn most of the time.
