Looks like some players are symptomatic.

Kevyn Adams says the Sabres have players and staff who are both symptomatic and asymptomatic, but he can't get into further detail.

The GM says he talked with Bill Daly prior to the first game with the Devils.

Wonder if Koivu retiring and starting the season on the COVID list are at all related

This isn't Adams fault, and it's new territory for everyone, but this season is another reason why hiring a GM with no FO experience could come back to bite them.

Well this is something. Hearing Brian Burke will join Ron Hextall in PIT. Burke as president of Hockey Ops; Hextall as GM
Going to miss this teammate, loved working with you Burkie



So since they like to follow the Pittsburgh model maybe they hired a President of Hockey Operations now?

No president for you! You’ll take the rink manager. Soccer czar. Waitress and fan boy and you. Will like. It.

Nope. Ralph will be watching. He will know if skinner is played above the 4th line consistently and if you cross him, 48 soccer balls to the nuts...

Choosing to look on the bright side of the unfortunate situation with the Sabres and seeing new players like Ruotsalainen, Borgen, and Bryson get playing time.

For some reason :

14 goals 9 million 1st year of Ralph's coaching
0 goals 9 million 2nd year of Ralph's coaching

Maybe skimmer isnt doing his job well?
His job is to score goals, and he is doing a very poor job.

Why the Covid talk?

Is he telling skimmer not to score on his overwhelming amount of changes? ( especially lately) 🤔

Ralph's at fault for not getting as much out of his player as possible, but he can not score on skimmers opportunities. If he had no chances more of this would be in ralph in IMO.

I’m sure they have someone who’s supposed to do that
Or it’s actually the AHL itself that pays someone to update websites

No owner does that crap themselves


Also... it’s been ONE game
But here’s the stats for ya:

And here's the schedule (which i got from their website):
