Fixed it for you.  They are getting desperate for bodies.  😬

[nfreeman]

Good.

[Brawndo]

More Amerks Players will be called up if necessary to play games. 
 

They did receive permission to practice last night, but decided to wait. 
 

They are using rapid POC Tests on everyone

Hopefully.

It's a benevolent sign that, at least this morning, no new infections were detected.  I'm glad some players get to keep in game(ish) shape.

Do I want to hurry back into games because spreading COVID? Nope.

Do I want to hurry back into games because we're now short a ridiculous number of players?  Nope.

 

As @Brawndo put it yesterday:

Quote

Essentially this is the Sabres Lineup right now 

68-9-23

X-12-X

X-20-21

53-X-15

72

X-X

X-33

X-10

Irwin extra

35

40

 

Let's look past health and safety for a moment (which I sincerely do care about very much).  How the ***** you gonna put that roster on the ice?  In a tight division in a shortened season, every point counts more than ever.  Losing any one of those players for three-plus games could jimmy the final standings out of our favor.  The league ***** us and now they can un-***** us by letting us get back to at least close to 100% before resuming games.  If we have to jump back in with anything close to that roster and face other teams at 100%, we might as well end the season now and save the risk.

That is pretty funny.

 

Warning: dark humor:

Eight guys dead and Skinner still forced to ride bitch by RK's proxy coach.

RK layin' dyin' in the hospital on a ventilator, gasping his last breath.  He holds Steve Smith close and whispers his last wish in his ear: "don't you *****in' do it."

Someone said recently that this board is more enjoyable than the game themselves.  These last few posts are proof of that! 👍

Why are Vogl’s lines different than Lance’s.?

 

[Zamboni]

Wow… That’s like the quality of lineup that Ted Nolan had a few years ago LOL

What's really sad is how much better Reinhart, Skinner, Staal and Olofsson — to say nothing of Eichel — are than any of Teddy's forwards were.

Who is our Kaleta at center?

Vogl has CJ Smith and Wil Borgen as a defense pairing

But he is top 9 now.  That's something, right?

If only we could go back in time and take Steve Smith then, and his old partner Jeff Beukeboom!

And Thompson back on the first line, because he, ya know, 'earned' it.

[dudacek]

LOL at the idea Thompson is somehow a favourite. He played two games on the first line because of a good training camp. He has played a total of 34 minutes since in eight games combined. As if the lines you're seeing in today's practice have any relevance to ice time — prior to today, or a week from now when we might start playing again.

Also, Jeff Skinner would be on Jack's line if Jack really wanted him there.

[Torpedo Forecheck]

Does anyone know if RK has a wife or daughter? because Skinner absolutely banged one or both them.

and both together............................

How is Kreuger doing anyway? Any word on that? 

[SABRES 0311]

Even COVID can’t get Skinner into the top six.

That seems unlikely.

Why? Just because he was a figure skater?

No. He hasn't scored since the eighth grade picnic.
