I like Vinny on the top line because they need someone on that line willing to forecheck and have some sort of defensive responsibility.

I won’t argue the rest though.

- Pegullaville


That is a big problem right there, this whole team should be ready, willing and chomping at the bit to forecheck, backcheck, do franking summersaults, eat fists,pucks whatever it takes.

If it was Originally a Roy Jersey I'd of never changed it.

Or are suggesting I plate it Roy? ;0

It's got an "A" on it. I assume he was an assistant at least 1 year

Ok, sorry.

Is anyone else other than myself and power excited for the buffalo Sabres to start playing hockey tomorrow?

Watching the young guys learn from okposo and great28A should be a real joy.

- Boss34


L8 I know.

Excited, no...but, I am certainly am interested to watch my team play.
I'll probably tune into alot of their games, and then turn it off after a period...or tune in later.

Tage is replacing R2, Eakin is replacing Great28. They both failed at C.
- Lunaion


Maybe GreAt28 is able to switch at a drop of a dime.
Veteran flexibility.

Maybe Eakins can't play the wing?
Non vet flexibility

Cozensons didnt fail at center? 🤔

I'm ready! I always try to stay positive about it. I was telling my wife about this kid, JJ Peterka, etc etc etc, and she's like, oh honey, just another one that's going to break your heart.

Shut up, wench! Go make an account with Hoceybuzz! You'll fit right in! 😂

- Powerslave



😀😀😀

I think peterka is different.

Thought he would make the team out of camp, best players b.s. .....

I'm not exactly sure why posters come in here and brag about not watching the games. Hey look at me, I'm a part time miserable fan. 🙄

Another excellent blog baller.

Any idea if a 3rd alternate captain will be chosen?
Possibly a defenseman?

Miller or dahlin?

If not, which it's looking that way....

Did the Sabres learn from gifting eichel the "C" without really earning it? Baby gloves with dahlin?


Also , I'll see you at the game tomorrow. Rolling with the josh Allen Jersey. Probably easy to stop one another...

Am I the only one excited about the season other than 🌮 and slave?

- Boss34


I am happy for your boy getting an "A." I've given him plenty of grief over the years but he's still here. He has tried awfully hard, for an awfully long time on some truly awful teams. He deserves it.

It was nice of you to share the article, don’t take this the wrong way, but there were a few errors in it to say the least.

Kisakov hasn’t even played a game in the VHL yet, he has 7 goals and 4 assists in 10 MHL games though which is quite good.

Rosen has 3 goals and 2 assists in J20 action, he has also looked the part in limited SHL minutes. He hasn’t lit the world on fire but I wouldn’t say he’s necessarily disappointed either. It’s not really his fault that the coaching staff doesn’t play him more.

The author of that article wrote for the sake of writing me thinks

Did they move him to wing?
I thought he was projected to be at 3C to start.
What did I miss?

His peer group:
-Krebs was on the Wing
-Dach is at 3C
-Turcotte is in the A
-Zegras might be a 1C or 2C

No ones exactly sure why you come here either.

You have god awful posts, obsess over fourth liners and terrible defensemen, and spout liberal biased political posts constantly.

You’re a skid mark on this blog

Not to worried about Rosen, like has been said he isn't getting that much is time right now. And thought Kisakov played games last week in VHL.

They don’t vet who writes for them

Failing Cozens over to RW wasn't an option, there were no C's left. It's really KA's failure. That's what happens when you plan on getting a C back for Eichel, then can't make a deal. Starting the season with these C's is a joke. Tank move.
