Immediately afterwards the large group of youth hockey players started screaming “you suck and it’s your fault!” I think the chanting dudes felt bad they got these little kids doing it so they switched over to the “one, two we want three chant at the second goal. I appreciated, as did the parents I’m sure, that they censored themselves for the night. Instant karma is gonna get you
inkman Posted November 24, 2019 Report Posted November 24, 2019 Amerks up 1-0 under two minutes into game. Porter from Pilut & Borgen. Noted NHL superstar John Gilmour is in the lineup. 2
inkman Posted November 24, 2019 Report Posted November 24, 2019 Tyler Randall scores to tie it up at 2. Assist to Sean Malone. Next shift Randall almost comes to blows after he laid a clean open ice hit.

Ogre Posted November 24, 2019 Report Posted November 24, 2019 I’m curious how Taylor is running the pk and pp compared to Dineen. I did notice that Taylor had a different starting line from the one Dineen has had the last three games.

North Buffalo Posted November 24, 2019 Report Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) Wonder if Jack and Risto could clear waivers and get to experience playing for a winning team? Maybe time to watch AHL and give up on Sabres for the year. Edited November 24, 2019 by North Buffalo 1

It's also interesting that a team bereft of forward talent is playing so well. I think we knew a lineup of 80% pluggers would work hard and not give up much but you gotta figure the teams with real NHL talent buried in the minors would start to take it's toll on our group of muckers. It's nice to see Murray and Ogelvie taking advantage of ice time they would not get bestowed upon them if not for the fact that Brady Vail and Tyler Randall are the options. 1

As I ponder it, the only thing I can think of is a waiver situation. I am sure Lazar has to clear, I don't know about Dea. Could it be that they don't want to send them back down and risk losing them until they have their forward depth back?

Had Lazar been a scratch for the Sabres more than 3 times before last night? If he hadn't he didn't need to clear waivers to go down. Dea hasn't been back up for anywhere near 10 games, so he doesn't have to re-clear waivers yet. With Rodrigues injured, they definitely were going to keep at least 1 of Dea or Lazar up to have a spare skater. Wonder if they had any concern whether Johansson or Sheary (or other) would be able to go? If anyone did miss due to a setback, then only having 1 of JS or Curtis up would result in playing with only 17 skaters if anybody tweaked a knee in warm-ups. But if everybody seemed healthy, not sure why they chose to have 2 Amerks up in the press box.

Has Lazar passed his 30 days? I don’t think so. Dea is definitely waiver-safe As much as it makes them ***** to Amerks fans, I think Botterill’s first priority is to make sure the Sabres have options and that means at least one spare forward and one spare defencemen available. That Krueger chose to dress the spare D instead of the 12th forward makes a sucky Amerk situation hurt more, but I think it’s a decision most NHL teams would have made. 1

Not sure about the 30 days, but he could very well have been up for 10 games now. He skated in 6 and was a healthy scratch for at least 2 and likely 4-5.

It will always work this way. So they sat 2 guys that you'd have like the Amerks to dress. Neither you nor a have any idea about players health or injury status. Maybe they had a couple guys sick who weren't sure they could go. Maybe they just wanted some more bodies around. It's part of the deal. Would you be happier if they'd brought 2 guys from Cincinnati to solve the lack of forwards? That's the direction the food chain should work. I'm sorry, I appreciate Rochester for what it is but the kvetching that happens every time the roster ends up weird because of a problem at the NHL level doesn't do anything for me. I'm sure the Bisons would have liked to have Vlad Guerrero Jr. All year too. For the record, it didn't bother me one bit. I was just stating the majority's opinion. And I think I said everything you did as well. ?
