GDT Preseason: Sabres @ Penguins 10/7/2022, 7pm, MSG (Pens Broadcast), WGR


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

We take on the Penguins and if we want to be a playoff contender, this is a team we need to start beating. They are top heavy and lack depth which Buffalo has to take advantage of to be successful.

I expect Comrie in goal and a healthy dose of all the bubble players and young guys.

Interestingly there are no flights to or from Pittsburgh today. The last flight with the Sabres (Former?) Charter Company out of Buffalo was the Penguins Flight last Saturday.

 

Its possible the flight does appear later through

Maybe they plan to Bus down? What would that be, about 4 hours?

No sign of Riley Sheahan the last two games. Was he sent to Rochester and I just missed that news?

Did he play any games during the preseason?

(haven't heard anything about him being sent down)

He could've tweaked something and thus the Malone recall? Or he's a proven veteran and they know what they've got.

For the lineup, that's a good preseason road lineup. Time for folks to make their final push for the 13th F, the 7th D, or the top spots in Rochester.

Looks like Quinn - Mitts - Tuch gets top billing with Krebs - Cozens - JJP set to have to be better than last game. Fitz - Joker could be an okay 3rd pair but I wish they had put Pilut in that spot. The Asp - Girg - Hino line is set and will do it's thing I am sure. 

Should be the last game for Bjork, enjoy the press box.

He played in the first one vs the Caps and had an assist, but I haven’t seen him since.

That defensive lineup is a bit rough for tonight. I wouldn't look too much into if Comrie has a bad night.

Also, can this be the last time we see  Eggs GIF

in a Sabres' uniform?

I really don’t understand how DG has utilized Comrie this preseason.  Should the new guy get some game experience with the defenders he'll be playing behind? Why throw him to the wolves in both preseason appearances?

Not even sure what this means?

Each of the prospective goalies got 2 starts in reverse order of how we rate them in games that are designed to get them ready for the coming season.

Why would you possibly worry about your 'best' goalie – a player who is both young, and healthy - playing behind the type of lineup he's playing behind tonight?

Isn't it a pretty typical preseason lineup, the likes of which most goalies have to play behind in pre-season?

Don't you want him to be tested?
