Around The NHL 2022-23 Regular Season

^ Only 20 skaters on the roster. They'd best hope no one tweaks anything during any warm-ups or road trips in any game because there's no one else to dress.

Pretty sure Toronto has a large enough budget that even if someone gets injured in pregame skate out in Vancouver or LA they can just throw a Marlie on a jet and get them there before puck drop.

Because the Sabres are so far from the cap ceiling it's been a very long time since looking closely at how the emergency recall cap exceedences the league put in to keep teams out of the Kings' situation from a few years ago when they were forced to run with a short bench because of their cap being hosed are structured, but the Loafs will face repercussions if they do exceed the cap on an emergency basis.

So, they may be able to fly someone in, but they will have to make additional moves or lose cap the next year (again, haven't looked it it in a long time) to do so.  Hopefully their (cap) stupidity hurts.  It should.

Would their average be old enough to drink without Anderson being included???

Don't worry about it.  "Dad" will bring a few "ginger ales."

Owen Power and JJP are the only players under 21 so yes.

This is disturbing on so many levels. I could be wrong, but I feel like she opened her mouth and divulged more than what needed to be said without having proper legal counsel - if any. As much as I despise Gloria Allred’s tactics, even she has a clue of how much she and her clients need to say whenever they level accusations to build their cases - attorney/client privilege notwithstanding. So, if it’s all true, he’s in a world of hurt; but if not, she’s ruined his good name and should be held to account.

Interesting there are people who with their bold predictions think the Red Wings or Senators will make the playoffs, two teams that finished lower than the Sabres in the standings(granted only by 1 and 2 points), but none say the Sabres. I don't see either of those teams being better than us this year.

I'm fine with that.  Buffalo fans love an underdog.

They had more winning in the off-season with big names and big spending.

Kiefer Sherwood has the first goal of the 2022-23 NHL season.

That's an excellent porn star name.

First North American goal of the season was a shortie by Zebanejad.

Not a fan of the computer generated graphics along the boards. I wasn't a fan of the graphics on the glass behind the goals either. 

[JohnC]

The goalie play in the Ranger/Lightening game is elite. It's quite impressive. 

[Buffalonill]

Wtf to keep doing that dumbass view on the pp please stop 

[bg17]

Someone somewhere thought this was a cool idea. Yikes. 

[Buffalonill]

I hate the rangers especially because we basically gave them Igor Shesterkin 

[CallawaySabres]

It really is tough to watch teams like this that have such all-world goaltending.
