He looks pretty nasty.  Also, pretty and handsome.

Who else is hurt? VO traded?

No Tuch in practice today.

[Weave]

Tuch more than just a maintenance day?

[msw2112]

Good to see Rousek up for another shot, but hopefully Tuch is nothing serious (and hopefully nothing at all).  If Biro took Benson's spot, does Rousek take Comrie's spot?  I'm not sure how all of the injury designations have been handled.

Maybe short-term IR would be best Hasn't looked like himself at all this year

They need to unload VO, he’s invisible out there.

It’s almost like he didn’t even play last game

Officially, most likely.  This puts them with a more standard 14-7-2.  Probably a combination of reward to Rousek and also insurance if Tuch can't go tomorrow night.  

Doubt they'd call him up just to sit him, so am expecting that if Tuch can go tomorrow that Jost is out of the lineup and if he can't then Olofsson is the only odd man out.

Wonder if Olofsson gets any more games as a Sabre?

Umm, probably because he didn't.

I’m not the bonehead not paying attention to the Sabres lineup

Looks like he'd gladly apply a rapier to the center of thine sternum whilst shouting "I thrust upon ye!"

Would he buy me drinks before he thrusts upon me?

I think he's looked great. Not sure what you're watching.

He definitely hasn't looked like he did last year 

[Zamboni]

Good for Rousek! There’s a nice Christmas gift. It would be nice to see him play.

Maybe a low quality illegal stream?  🙂

I'd like to see the captain take a seat for a few games and see someone like Rousek replace him in that 4th line role.

What do you think the chances are of that happening?

Including Tonight’s Game, Okposo is six games away from 1000 played. He will hit that mark at Home on November 14th against Boston. I imagine KO doesn’t sit until after that goal is achieved.

Not much at this point.

I do not want to root for Okposo to do poorly, but if we go another month or two and his play is the same, or worse, I have to imagine at some point they may consider a change, even if it is just giving him a few more 'veteran rest days off'.

Good point.
I want to see him sit but there are probably plans around that date.

So, no word anywhere on why the call up or any news on a Sabres Injury. Interesting .....
