The ECHL guys are gonna have trouble with it 

What’s the value in this?  So ***** stupid. 

This just in (from Dan and Rob), the Penguins top 6 is “lights out”.  
 

 

Without mentioning the Sabres have half a dozen beer leaguers in their lineup.

I like Granato as much as anyone but I don’t understand icing this craptastic lineup against the Pens regular lineup.  What’s the point?  

Please don’t judge this game as anything other than daddy dunking on his kids.  This isn’t relevant to anything.

Protecting OAKIE for sure. Prolly looking at F13 & D7…. 2022-23 is STILL a growth focus w goal on getting a marker to play post season, or be in it past Dec. IMO

[inkman]

I feel like Don really let his team down with this lineup.

Bjork writing his ticket out of town. 

[Flashsabre]

Poor Comrie. This is ugly

He’s been on the ice for two gift goals already and hasn’t done squat all preseason. He’s a goner. I feel worse for Girgs who got stuck with him tonight.

This is what many road preseason games look like. Look no further than last game when Carolina sent their B squad up to Buffalo. The Sabres were ahead 3-0 in similar fashion. The question is: how does this Sabres B squad respond? That's what this game is about; it's an ideal situation to assess effort and teamwork.

Who rises to the occasion, who folds, who rides the bus to Rochester?

For a team that claims to put ppl in a position to succeed, they've certainly given Comrie a dumpster fire defense twice.

No reason not to waive him

JJP isn't thinking the game fast enough yet. 38 will look fine at AHL speed.

I think jjp should go back to the AHL until about December.

Means it will be ‘EZ’ w a good D & Fwds.

🥃 half full guy….

[matter2003]

Did Granato let his team know they were playing tonight?

[KC Scouts]

It’s just a scrimmage game…..tough to watch….I really want to see Comrie playing with the real lineup in front of him….. oh well.

What does everyone think of the Penguins broadcast compared to our guys?

His already proven Himself at the AHL Level, He needs games up here to see if He prove himself at this level

 

After 15-20 if the problems persist, then send Him back

He hasn’t beaten Hinny out for a top 9 spot this preseason.

There's more to prove in the AHL. Defensive positioning, being the go-to guy on the top line (no Quinn), and consistency across the board. He'll get there. 

Hino had a horrible turnover in the first, but I think Comrie can prevent that reversal to Crosby by yelling at Hino where to go. Hino can float the lineup where needed. Right now I think he's the 12, Sheahan is the vet 13 who can play any position, and JJP gets to go be a top line forward in Rochester and skate 19+ minutes/night. He'll be fine.

[Bangarang]

We’re not going to win but I’d like to see us put up more of a fight. Maybe get some shots on net and…gasp….score a goal

Anything's better than our guys.

Davies did a very good Butcher impersonation in the first. And not just because he’s wearing number 4.
