Is sandstrom even on the American’s roster if rhe 35 year old clears waivers and is sent down. Or I guess if Levi starts in Rochester?

Östlund has been really good the past few games 

Östlund needs about 20lbs and he'll be g2g.

I would have preferred that they kept Houser as the Amerks backup instead of signing Sandström.

Wouldn't be surprised if Houser beats Sandstrom out as the backup without playing ANY games.

Wonder how Sandstrom will like Jacksonville?

The way he's playing, he'll be lucky to be the Ice Men's starter by the time TC is done.

Reimer or Levi will be the starter. He’s expected to be the backup.

Jobst making it a 2 goal game.

He and Helenius should both be fun to watch in Ra-cha-cha this year.

Hopefully Sandstrom is nowhere near that game.  Would be nice to see the Sabres go 6-1-0 in the preseason to go with the 2-0-0 start in the RS before they even get to the legit home opener.

What was the score when Ratzlaff left?

The way he's played in his 2 stints between the pipes, would not expect that to still be the expectation.  Houser is better than him.

2-1 good guys.

Sandstorm was a head scratching signing

Really excited about him, probably more than any prospect we have. Nothing more exciting that an elite playmaker imo and he’s a magician out there often

Their GT analytics team keeps thinking it's finding diamonds in the rough but they all seem to be Herkimer diamonds.

(referring to the reclamation projects they go after not Anderson or Reimer (or even Levi who was definitely not a reclamation project))

I’d like to see them give Östlund time at Centre this year in Rochester. That’s where he is at his best as a playmaker.

Östlund is a much better natural centre than Kulich.

Helenuis and Östlund are two legit centre prospects for the Sabres

Can we get two first line centres out of:

Thompson, Cozens, Mittelstadt, Krebs, Savoie, and Östlund? 

Surely we can get a 1 and 2 twos, right? The system is now screaming about the odds being in our favour 

Jury still out but I like the odds on Östlund to help Thompson and Cozens satisfy the bold

LOL you went back in time to grab that post.

Helenuis I think will be a solid 2C. Push Cozens to the wing.

Well yes, by definition that’s the only way to do it. The alternative would be to quote something from the future

Sandstorm will cost them wins in Rochester this season. They are better off with Reimer-Houser or Levi-Houser

[bg17]

All my best to @JoeSchmoe in this difficult time.

GO SABRES!!!

I wonder if he’d even accept going to Rochester or if he’d rather go home to Sweden.

Sandstrom is Trash with a capital T

Hockey preseason is just weird

All pro sports preseasons are weird. They are just fake hype to get people to spend money on something that should be free.

Imagine if musicians charged fans to watch them practice scales or a band rehearsal while they are learning a new tune.

[triumph_communes]

Östlund showed up. The score reflects the entire game but without Sandstorm they might’ve actually won. Encouraging coaching 

[DarthEbriate]

Well, fiddlesticks. Last I checked, the Amerks were up 2-1. It stinks that the NHL Jackets had to show up in the 3rd.

Don't know but, the toronto player looks pretty stationary , seems more like a dumb move from Laine.

They would probably make a killing on it...I am quite sure people would love to watch and see how all that work behind the scenes leads up to the actual creation of a song.
