22/23 Buffalo Sabres Season

[Alaska Darin]

These are GMBB's goats.  Serious AF.

Appears Dahlin is back tonight (was taking reps w/ #1 PP).  And though Lyubushkin didn't partake in the morning skate, he's also expected back.  Would expect he takes Clague's spot, but Clague and Power have worked well together.  So, maybe Pilut or Fitzgerald is out.  Lines were heavily mixed but Hinostroza still appears to be the odd man out.  Personally, am expecting Anderson to get the start w/ Comrie then getting the next 2 and probably the next 3 giving Anderson the 2nd 1/2 of the btb next week as that will be in Otterland.

 

This morning's lines:

Comrie gets the start.

 

Lyubushkin in, Fitzgerald out.

I rarely seriously post Deadspin articles, but this one isn't whiny bullshit, and is a pretty severe (and accurate, IMO) takedown of Eichel.

FYI, in case anyone is interested in getting a "reverse retro" w/ the b&g goat head, they went on sale today and likely will sell out quickly.  The 50ths were pretty much sold out (except some very large & very small sizes) a couple of weeks after the season started & the b&g reverse retros went the same way.

 

You can order them from the Sabres Store and they will ship them.  (Not sure how much mailing adds to the cost.)

 

The R&B goatheads are alternates, so they SHOULD be available for 2 more years after this but am not positive about that.

Of course he's happy to be in Buffalo.  He's likely to be a PK fixture and the alternative for him was Iowa in the AHL.

&#%$ing phenomenal.  Chills.

Sheahan didn't report to Ra- cha-cha after clearing waivers, so the Sabres have put him on unconditional waivers to give him his release.

 

Presumably they'll also void his contract for failing to report to get out of owing him any outstanding money. 

[Taro T]

And he cleared waivers and the contract has been voided.

 

Have fun in Switzerland Mr. Sheahan.

This kid is turning into something.

Look at the Sabres, snatching 2 points after blowing a 3-goal 3rd period lead. 

 

Quinn's hands are filthy.

Dahlin is one of the best defenseman in the NHL.

Cozens, w/ 4 goals & 9 points named the NHL's 2nd star of the week.

 

McDavid 1

Cozens 2

Sabres up 5-0 in less than 13 minutes in Columbus.  Thompson already with a hat trick.
