GDT: PHI @ BUF 7pm TV:MSG Radio:WGR - Back in black

That's a popular sentiment but I don't buy it for a second. Sounds like a twitter idea that has gained steam for no reason.

He wants to lead this team to the playoffs and that's all he cares about right now. I truly feel he would laugh at that idea tbh.

If he wasn’t actively hurting the team with his play and also penalties that’s one thing.

But I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility the Sabres brass will strongly suggest he rest here and there. Especially considering how he has been playing.

You know they were going to squeeze Rousek into some games with a one way next year and also playing well again this season. If he's working with Cozens, maybe Rousek can show him where the net is.

It's easy to oversee the quick smart passes that Power makes and even easier to notice him not taking a guy out on the boards or fishing for him completely in the paint. They don't need to be rosy but you need glasses for the eye test to match the fancy stats.

His fancy stats aren't very good this season, at least not yet.

UPL starting, which leans Levi against the Leafs. I like it.

I go back to my original point -- I don't think the coach believes Okposo is playing poorly, as much as a lot of us thinks he looks bad. He praises him regularly and gives him a lot of ice time, all situations. He clearly loves the guy and not just for off-ice leadership.

I think Okposo has been fine.

Seems like his metrics are like bottom 5 on the team in most categories, but he has played a big role in all of our wins, so I'm not sure what to think. We know one thing, the coach trusts him still to play a simple game and be able to calm things down on a young team prone to non-calmness.

Is NHL Network not on Sling anymore? I was thinking about signing up for a trial.

Edit: Lusty boos, not lustful.

Can’t it be both?

He has 8 PIMs in 10 games and that is way too much. It's an age-related issue I had with him last year, and it's way off the rails already. Maybe it's an outlier, but he's go to cut those down.

Other than that, he's slow and that line isn't really grinding like we've come to expect, but overall, he isn't sticking out to me like someone that needs to sit.

It's on Sling Orange. I was going to switch from DirecTV to Sling last year but of course when I called DirecTV they gave me an offer I couldn't refuse.

You have to get the Sports Add-on

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

Is there a website that shows you which line combinations are used throughout the game?

Pham thinks the Sabres/Olofsson are headed for a split: Contract void or waivers. Also had to get his traditionalal barb in on Sabre fans as usual about the Cal Peterson non signing.

Buffalo Sabres Line Combinations | Buffalo Sabres Line Combos | leftwinglock.com

Buffalo Sabres line combination information for fantasy hockey managers.

You need to make an account but it is free and you can see line combos and the frequency they are used.

VO can't be happy. They probably would have traded him if Quinn hadn't gotten hurt, so I don't blame him. Voiding the contract would be very strange approach. Waivers more likely, and they wont unload him without keeping some of his salary.

Honestly, they are probably letting the season move forward a little, let teams get some injuries. Then a 28 goal one-dimensional player that has gone through waivers, with 50% retained may not seem like such a bad idea. VO can get his groove back down in Roch.

cant they send him on an eternal condition stint to Sweden?

I don't think anyone that wanted him could afford him, even at 50%

for all you know they already tried, but with his cap hit and sitting at the end of last season, nobody probably wanted to give scraps for him.
he is basically a cap dump now

True as well, but Adams not making the move isn't out of character considering he needed bodies at F.

Not that it makes much of a difference, but I would have gone with Jost over Krebs. Krebs needs a game in the stands.

Maybe Jost has some minor bruise.
