I don't pretend to know how this is calculated, but the Dahlin numbers — good in offence, mediocre in defence, elite in transition supports what my eye test has been telling me, rather than what Sabrespace posters have.

I mean all the sublime moves that go unnoticed while every mistake he makes ends up in the back of the net certainly is exciting albeit not very enjoyable for Sabres fans.

Also, I know it sounds good to say that Okposo's has "found" something, but I would bet his numbers are almost exactly the same as they have always been. When has Kyle been anything but solid?

Anyone know if RJ is calling the game tonight?

Would be surprised if he is.  The announcers haven't been traveling w/ the team this year.  Expecting we're getting Dunleavy from the MMArena's rafters.

Ummm, the last several years, going back to 2017 when he was in the neurological ICU and almost died?

perhaps this should be it’s own Thread and get pinned. So everyone can refer to it from time to time during the season. Just a thought.

I know a lot on here have complained about him and how slow he was the past couple of years. I thought you were all seeing what you wanted to see and kinda stupid. Sorry, I just did.

I’ll give you that his numbers may be different this year, but imo, I’m seeing the same Kyle we’ve always seen.

Jets going with 7 D and 11 forwards tonight. I think they were going to call up Gustafsson but because of a positive covid test on the Moose, they decided not to call anyone up.

This wouldn't have happened had they called someone up as soon as Wheeler went down and actually let him have a practice with the team but I guess they are pinching pennies because we are so close to the cap.

You've really got to watch KC and PLD. They are really on their game this season. 

Another thing is our abysmal PK. If we take a lot of penalties, we are sunk.

 

Oh ya, it is Winnerpeg (back to back Grey Cups) not Winterpeg...sitting at a balmy 39F right now!!!

You obviously aren’t aware that they aren’t calling games in person this season. At least not all away games.

The Kings are using Snoop Dogg to call games.

Why do most executives (pre Covid) travel unnecessarily, all the time?  Absence (from their spouse) makes the heart grow fonder.

RJ enjoys the road.  The hotels, and the hotel bars.  The unquestioned expense account.   #perks.

Ahhh the dulcet tones of Dan Dunleavy maybe or maybe not describing what he sees on television.

We need a MST3K style broadcast of this team. I will do it for free.

The Sabres are really neat,
The Sabres are not elite.
We believe in the Sa-brrres!

SABRES WILL FEED THIS EVE
