GDT- Devils at Sabres, 12/29/2021, 7 pm ET, MSG, WGR

[Weave]

That 3rd D pairing looks like a 6 minute/game pairing.

[Brawndo]

UPL in net

I really don't understand what Buffalo is doing. They are putting in 4 RHD instead of calling up Samuelsson. 

Dahlin - Joker

Samuelsson - Pysyk

Butcher - Fitzgerald

This makes way more sense than calling up Prow IMPO. Maybe Samuelsson is out in covid protocol or something. 

He is.

Quinn & he have done the most to earn callups.  But, if you're not available, that doesn't really matter.

[Pimlach]

With UPL in net and a boost from the new players I think we can win.  Some big concerns on the defense with Hagg/Miller/Bryson out.

No sports for what feels like a month, 3 games on at the same time.  Sabres, Amerks and Cuse all playing tonight at 7.  Sigh.

 

No I don’t have way to record the games…

Buy More TVs and return them tomorrow!

Based on the Amerks lineup, I won’t need to bother with that game.  I might be able to catch Cuse on ESPN plus after Sabres

Not as of the morning skate he wasn't.  He was on the 3rd pairing w/ Prow.

[GASabresIUFAN]

I'm excited that R2 is finally getting to play with some real NHL players.  I also really like the top 3 lines considering all the illnesses (real or imagined).  

Also excited for Ethan Prow to make his NHL debut at age 29.  He must be out of his mind with excitement.

Maybe it was just wishful thinking on my part, but I thought he was on the injury report a few days ago.

He’s playing.

COVID-19 list:

All asymptomatic (Z was but symptom free since Christmas Eve). Vinnie Hinostroza, Zemgus Girgensons, Jeff Skinner, Dylan Cozens, Mark Jankowski, and added yesterday, Jacob Bryson. Oh and Ellis bench boss tonight for Meatballs. All must have 2 negative PCR tests to come back after 5 days from positive test.

From the article:

Casey Mittelstadt spent about a month skating with Tuch while the two rehabbed their injuries in November. He said Tuch was already setting up team dinners before he ever played a game with the Sabres.

Paste unformatted or Paste text only should work. Or paste into a .txt Text file first, then bring it into where you want to strip out the formatting.

Thanks, but I don't see options for "paste unformatted" or "paste text only" anywhere (either in SS or when I right-click after copying something)?

I'm using Chrome. Here in the Sabrespace text box the option (right-click) is Paste as plain text, but I think it could vary depending on the application/platform.
