 Be interesting to see how this lineup fares. Lot of fringe guys.  
 

anyway: mutant weatherballoon

With the exception of a spot or two he already knows who is going to be on his roster. He's giving the youngsters who will be on the AHL and junior rosters a taste of NHL play, and give them a sense for what they need to do to take the next step up. He's also being cautious in avoiding injuries to his main roster players. He will ease them in to get them ready for the real games. 

[RochesterExpat]

Interesting that Novikov is the third youngest. Benson and Kulich are the only younger players in the lineup tonight.

I knew his birthdate but I still struggle to think of him as a young 20 year old because he looks much older.

Embarrassed to say I’ve never heard of him.  If you said Graham Slaggert, I’d be willing to bet he was a front man for London Calling, The UK Clash tribute band.  Not Sabres forward from Indiana. 
 

Menendez Whipping

[Mustache of God]

Who wears the C today, Krebs?

Caps lineup. Not a lot of NHL firepower. Strome , Mantha, Milano, TVR and a lot of AHL

He is a college player (ND I think) who signed with the Marlies last year and with the Amerks this year. An AHL role player.

[Zamboni]

What’s Washington’s roster today? Probably equally void of current NHLer’s too.

Yeah, there was a bit of forethought in putting this game on directly opposite the Bills game.  Due to the lineups people probably would've been madder had they been able to get to both games than they are that they can't.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

GAME ON !!

MUST WIN !!

GO SABRES !!

Thanks, Bob for kicking off the season and getting us going.

Is there a bubble player not in that lineup? Davidson…?

I mean, it’s literally the organization’s 7-14 on D, and probably the 13-20th-ranked forwards, minus Savoie. And a guy desperately trying to hang on to his spot in the NHL starts in goal.

Should be a hungry bunch.

Even the veterans - 8 NHL players the minimum for an exhibition? - are arguably the team’s least established, maybe minus Olofsson?

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Did the Bills and Sabres fly in together ??

All Buffalo teams in DC today.

GO BILLS !!

GO SABRES!!

[K-9]

More Weissbach

[Turbo44]

Absolutely idiotic that the NHL schedules a 2pm preseason game of BUF/WAS when there’s a 1pm BUF/WAS NFL game. Only preseason but still moronic 

[LabattBlue]

Any idea if the game will be available to watch afterwards?

[Brawndo]

 

[LGR4GM]

Sabres' lines/pairs for preseason opener vs. Caps:

 

Benson-Jost-Greenway

Rousek-Krebs-Peterka

Kulich-Biro-Rosen

Weissbach-Kozak-Cederqvist

 

Novikov-Davies

Stillman-Bryson

R. Johnson-Clague

 

Comrie in goal. Tokarski backing up.

 

[Mustache of God]

How many of those defensemen played for the sabres last year? 4?

[steveoath]

Rough anthem

To be fair, he’s an AHL vet(sort of).  No reason you should know about him. 

[thewookie1]

Uh, this game isn’t on MSG or NHLN?
