Cccccccombo breaker

From The Athletic, an article about fans reacting to each little thing, in this case the first couple games of the Season....

Don’t panic” is a nice phrase for a book cover, and it’s usually the right advice for a hockey fan in October. But sometimes, a well-earned right to a little bit of panic comes with the territory. When that territory is an entrenched spot at the bottom of the standings, it’s never too early for a little first-week overreaction.[/i]

We have been given approval to over-react ...carry on.
I reserve my right to scream Jack is NOT READY when he loses the opening faceoff, citing the weight of captaincy and a $10m contract puting too much pressure on him.

Can't be wrong if you don't make wild predictions, so here we go:

Top line (Skinner, Eichel, Reinhart) combine for 85-90 goals
Hutton plays 50+ games
Sabres finish 3rd in the division - Boston is a wildcard
Sabres play the Leafs in the first round
A defenseman will get a goal before Columbus day.
Erod finishes with 30+ points
15+ goals for Berglund
Nylander is a regular by January
McCabe knocks someone out cold again
Risto gets suspended because of a clean hit
Dahlin and Risto will be paired together for a big chunk
Mittelstadt 18+30

Jason Botterill only has $3.5 million invested in goaltending. This alone makes him a competent GM at worst.

Shoulda traded for Price and Lundqvist and held onto ROR. The guy wins faceoffs for (frank) sakes.

Skinner gets 41, Eichel 33 and Reinhart 31.
Okposo regains his form and gets 21 and Dahlin gets 19.
Bogo plays only 14 games and next summer declares himself healthy again but pulls his groin in the Sabres alumni golf outing.
Larsson swears in the locker room after getting benched and Paul Hamilton tells him 'Watch your language please'
A slumping Sobotka gets demoted to the 4th line and declares 'I'm not a 4th liner' and scurries off to Slovakia to play 3C in his Bratislava beer league team.
My main man Berglund scores 24 and provides solid two way play that has some fans saying Ryan who?

And the final prediction.

Sabretooth gets a pay increase and becomes the league's highest paid mascot. Gritty protests at center ice during a Flyers Oct 27th game vs Islanders. Robin Lehner goes berserk and charges after Gritty and gets in a scrum with him at center ice. The DPS reviews the tape and oddly declares Lehner did nothing wrong and won't be suspended.

That was inferred. Any time the Sabres play, there's bound to be some winky whackin...and not in the good way.

Eichel: 30g

Reinhart: 28g

Skinner: 38g

I expect a goal per game from these guys in the very least. Okposo will crack 20 if he plays at least 70 games and Dahlin will get 12 or 13 goals, at most.

Love the last paragraph

I like the ECHL quote...."I never lost my love for the game...". A subtle back-hand at ROR?
