Redmond was as bad as Tennyson when he played on the Sabres last year. It's why he has an AHL only contract

I know. But everyone sucked on D last year. Redmond has been killing it in RCH this year. Definitely better than Tennyson from the games I’ve seen.

a poorly trained chimp from the zoo would be better than Tennyson.

I never thought we'd have a worse defenseman than Mike Wilson. Tennyson makes Wilson look like a video game boosted Orr

If we don't have 6 defensemen healthy tonight, I'g go with the two main pairings, subbing Guhle in whenever one is in the box or needs a bit of a rest. Tennyson would not see the ice unless we are down to 3 defensemen

Tennyson needed a few NHL games to get up to speed and overcome his fear of being fired into the sun. He'll be fine now. Someone should check out the rocket boosters just in case.

I always want our team to have 8 d, with 2-3 in the minors who are capable in short bursts.

We have a terrible track record of d injuries

Sabres D are very banged up.

I don’t see a win here.

5-2 Boston

Goals by one of Bogosian, Risto or Pominville.

Do we have any explanation for Housley bemching Skinner in the OT? He should be an ideal 3 vs 3 player...

He always paired him with Sobotka unless there was a power play, so he saved all the naysayers on the board the coronary and the time they would have spent typing up post complaining about it.

Phil makes a personal choice to play Mitts and Thompson in overtime, over top 3 lead goal scorer and previous ot hero Skinner.

I would love to hear his actual reason.
I mean, I do like giving rookies their shot in OT even if they did suck, but you got the get Skinner at least 2 shifts out there.

I don’t hate rookies getting a chance either. But Mitts was hot garbage the whole ot. And Skinner is a guy you are about to pay 8+, use one of your best stickhandling and skating players on huge ice.

But I’m sure there was a good reason. I just want to hear it.

Wow, never knew Rick Martin had that many hat tricks !

EDIT: I now see he finished with 21 tied for 13th all time with Glenn Anderson...Wayne Gretzky is #1 all time wth 50...2nd place is Mario Lemieux with 40...The closest active player is Ovie...He ranks 11th with 22 hat tricks.

I’m also in the camp that likes giving the rookies that spot. But there’s no reason Sheary is playing over Skinner there too. You can do both.
