Bottom 6 to me is set up badly

53 years of waiting for one.
In the order of my fondness;

Buffalo Sabres
Cleveland Indians
Buffalo Bills

Tonight it's;
Let's Go Sabres!

I am feeling intrigued by this year's team with the addition of Hall, Stall and even Cozens to a lesser degree.

Last night's Hawks game gives me hope that Pat Kane may in fact be available this season via trade.

Am I wrong in thinking that this team should be able to score not effortlessly, but darn near it?

I'm also intrigued by what I have been hearing about Tage.
I hope that half of it, is true.

Show us what I think you have in you tonight Linus.

Let's Go Buffalo!!

The Lineup to me is set up badly

Craig Rivet LOVES him some Cody Eakin.

He also likes most really bad hockey players that have this hard nosed notion to them.

In Eakins case, its a false notion, but whatever.

Switch Skinner with Rieder and that's a solid top 9

Bold prediction. Sabres will make the playoffs, Eichel and Hall become the best 1-2 punch in the NHL and Skinner scores 30 with Lazar and Cuz.

now back to my meth....

Bold Prediction:

Sabres go 10-0-46 and make the playoffs

Hutton getting the nod to start tonight

Well that puts my mind at ease

I'm well this morning brother.
I'm excited for Sabres hockey. 🤙🏻

Well he's usually good for the first 10-15 games and then falls apart, so get the good stuff while you can.

We were in orange (outdoor dining only) as of yesterday.

Oversimplified version of the story:

About 90-some restaurants here filed a lawsuit and won. Court basically said the state needed more scientific evidence that indoor dining was causing enough of a spread to close. NYS trotted out a 1.4% figure from contact tracing. Restaurants also claimed that contact tracers never determined that any cases were from them. The judge said "not good enough".

Skinner-Eakin-Cozens
Reider-Lazar-Sheahan

Would be much better. Roll 3 lines and play the 4th line just enough to give the other 3 a breather

Good times, a little Sabres hockey mixed in with a Bill's Championship run. Can't beat it. Hey I know you asked about some stuff yesterday, don't know if you saw my post.

Watch him pitch a shutout...

Just want to make sure I have this straight

Carter Hutton is literally unplayable for a portion of last season - is rewarded with starting game 1

Jeff Skinner though......

Can we just at this point say they hate each other and it’s not changing? Has nothing to do with practice habits or system.

They got into it last season for whatever reason and it’s not going to get better

That's what I said above, if Eakin is 3C then put Skinner there.

Sabres win 2-1.

Skinner and Cozens with the goals at 5v5 in the bottom 6

Failure to do the obvious is a massive risk. The obvious play is Jeff Skinner on the 2nd line and Ullmark in net. If it works, then it's a synergy win. If it doesn't, Krueger looks like an idiot. I guess we'll find out in 7.5 hours.

It just feels like for years we've had these head scratching decisions. Not that I would criticize anyone for having a negative reaction to any of this, but I guess I'll wait til 9:45 tonight and see what the hell happens. I dont know. This team, man. This (frank)in team

What will happen is that we will win the first 3 in a row with Hutton and some unsustainable shooting and then he will ride the same lineup to 6-12-2 and we will be out of it by game 20

I know the scrimmages weren’t amazing effort wise ..... but Hutton looked like flaming hot garbage
