I was almost correct. Not my fault Ottawa missed the empty net.

Helenius with a very long, very good shift. Needs a couple more pounds to stay on his feet.

And then, Östlund... that was pretty.

Add Kulich, R Johnson, maybe Levi in net. Maybe Rousek if he clears waivers. The Amerks could be quite solid this season.

I think you have the wrong Joe. Tough night regardless.

How's the Östlund / Rosen watch going? 

Rosen’s game tieing goal and Östlund‘s game winner were dedicated to you.

Östlund goes full Pominville in Ottawa!!!!😂

I knew I shouldn't have taken the Sabres on the moneyline tonight. Guess my kids will have food next week

Rosen and Östlund, my children thank you. I'm going to let it ride on some more preseason action!

I think it is JoeSchmo that doesn’t like Rosen and Östlund😜

Well one thing you can say for sure is that Rochester plays with a lot of pace. Ottawa announcers were saying Senators not playing well but I think they were struggling to play at that speed. Ullmark might steal some games for them though. 

Helenius tries to do a lot of things right. He has the right instincts, but he's a few years away and needs more adjustment and development. I think he could eventually crack the roster though. Nobody else out there that I see as pushing for an NHL spot any time soon. But they are fast.

I'd totally forgotten we're trying to refurbish Sandstrom. He had potential at one point but completely fell apart last year so who knows. 

For Ottawa, Yakemchuk looks like the real deal. Not sure he cracks their line up, but he looks like a future player. The rest of what they dressed was not overly impressive and there were some NHLers in there.

Tokarski still has a Sabres goalie mask. 😀

Pads too.

Hilarious.

[Flashsabre]

That was fun to watch..
 

You know these last 2 games are much better than a Rochester training camp for these guys. You can see Lindy’s fingerprints all over this team with the system and aggresiveness. Leone and crew getting on the job training.

A very well deserved win for the kids; they outplayed them and Ullmark is the only reason Ottawa was even in the game.

That they did. But almost don't count.

But what makes it funny is it's your boy.

Light him up! 🤣

Still can't believe Boston traded him before getting Swayman's deal done, but whatever

Both goalies said they wanted to be #1 and not do the tandem. Bruins chose Swayman which at the moment seems like a bad decision. One of them had to be traded.

So you mean that those big bear hugs were fake?

My boy? What are you taking about?

Very nice effort from the kids tonight.  Seemed they ran out of a little bit of gas late in the 2nd period and through the 3rd, but they still had enough to overcome the rough penalty call against Helenius that lead to the Otters 2nd goal and pull it out in OT.

If they can get a split in their final 2 NHL preseason games, or dare we say a full sweep of all 4 games, and they'll be rockin' friggin' brass bowling balls heading into the AHL season.

He’s confused. JoeSchmo said he thought Rosen and Östlund are trending towards busts. He thinks it’s you because of the Joe in your name.
