My expectations are low but my hope is high.

There was rust before the pause that needed some removal but...

Jack is 100% healthy and will come out with his hair on fire. 
Dahlin was showing glimpses and will continue on the right path.

Skinner gets two and goes on a tear.

Let’s go Buffalo!

Everyone got their wish with Skins on Eichel's line. Now make stuff happen.

I have been subsisting on a diet on UB men's and women's basketball and Jessie Pegula tennis. I'm ready for some Sabres. Please don't suck.

Monotone McGuire.  No emotion.  He’s like the Captain Marvel of hockey.  

I think he got reprimanded.

I don't care who plays... if you want to be an NHL player you gotta show up.

Time for those players to show up or shut up and ship out.

Frankly I hope Borgen proves he should never be out of the lineup and that Skinner plays so well with Eichel that they leave him there.

On this day in 2021, Will Borgen was inserted into the Buffalo Sabres lineup.  A player of his ilk was long coveted.  The only games he’s missed since were suspensions for illegal hits to the head of Brad Marchand. 

I can't find anything for the Borgen hit on Marchand, but I can offer up this beauty from PK Subban!

Any know why the Sabres are back, with 7 regulars still out with covid, while the Devils get more time ??

Reinhart game time decision, probably will play though per Krueger 

 

Montour and McCabe confirmed they were symptomatic per Vogl and Lysowski tweets.  I would imagine they need more on ice workouts to recover from a serious respiratory ailment before being game-ready.

If Matt Ellis is teaching you skills, I agree about it being a sign neither will/should play 😉

Reinhart being in makes a world of difference.

Too much time off 

Too many key players out

Hate to say it, but ...

Isles ... 5

Sabres ... 1

 

Skinner; Okposo, or Miller with a goal

[Thorner]

Should really be ok at F considering, since Casey had been mostly scratched, it’s only Cozens and Lazar we are down. Not a more severe depletion at F than one would expect in any given season, really. 

We’ll be tested on D though sans Risto, McCabe, and Montour. Ullmark will need to be better. 

[Weave]

That defense could be tank era bad.

[bob_sauve28]

Go Sabres!!

No.  They have not been Strachan with Messy Balls.

[7+6=13]

We're a much better skating team.

[bob_sauve28]

Young D on a regular shift so far 

[Brawndo]

Fast moving period 

[Huckleberry]

Lucky start but we are skating fast it seems 🙂

except okposo lol

[triumph_communes]

Oh my god can NBC just sell their rights?

[JujuFish]

Just got home. I see I haven't missed much.

[Weave]

Good pace.  Not much pressure.

Top 2 lines look much more balanced.
