so I've never spammed at this level. I apologize, but I have no choice.

In a bit of a bind in my "hockeybuzz" league.
Had a manager drop out this morning like a champ.

The (3 hour long) draft is 8:15pm EST TONIGHT.

20 teams
4C, 3LW, 3RW, 2W, 6D, 1G, 6BN, 1IR+, 2IR
Stats:
G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, SOG, FW, HIT, BLK
W, GAA, SV, SV%, SHO

Random snake draft, not a keeper league, no divisions, top 8 make the playoffs

Message me if you're interested.

Again, I apologize.

Sabres 3-2 shootout loss

Larsson and Reinhart with the goals

Both teams without their best player, we'll both play it close to the vest and happily take it to extra time. Lehner is ....not so good in shootouts.

It will definitely be low scoring game tonight. I'm gonna pay particular attention to Lehner in goal, Risto on D and Grant.

Wait so the plan even with a healthy lineup is to keep Gorges with Risto? that's a terrible idea

Read the blog : Clearly it says Lemonade ..

After Wednesday's practice, John Vogl of The Buffalo News said Bylsma hinted at these pairings:

Ristolainen/Gorges
Bogosian/McCabe
Franson/Kulikov

Without Kulikov we could be seeing Nelson paired with Franson.

So it looks like if Kulikov were healthy he would be playing with Franson and Gorges would be with Risto anyway. The bottom two pairings are solid, Gorges playing with Risto isn't great at all

Thats kind of his point though i imagine. That duo gave up a lot of shots/goals. Part of that was because Gorges cannot handle those minutes. Not saying Kulikov is as top pairing guy but at least he can keep up.
