I also feel it should be Kyle or Gus not both in the lineup
- hubie

That line should never start in the offensive zone. Thats my only knock on them.

What I’m doing is trying to talk people off a ledge or not end up on an “Old takes exposed” because we’re hyperventilating over after 2 minutes of the NHL season have been played
- Swedish_Jesus

Using broad outlooks while not encompassing the full picture.

As usual, ridiculous over simplification.

For all the good that the top line did last year offensively, they were one of the worst lines in the league defensively.

If anything, finding something that works now and splitting up Skinner-Tage-Tuch into something that can work long term may actually be the best thing that could happen to this team.

And with that, I’m out of here.
- Swedish_Jesus

I'm open to it

cozen line, in their second game together was our best line

donnie breaks it up 12 hours later
- homiedclown

1 was their best for the first 3 games. 1 was their best the 4th game. 2 are established long term.

I wouldn't have touched them.

Oh god..

@LLysowski
Significant changes to the Sabres’ lines at practice:

Greenway-Thompson-Cozens
Skinner-Mittelstadt-Tuch
Peterka-Jost-Olofsson
Girgensons-Krebs-Okposo

Defense pairs are the same.

Is this your fix or the actual lines in practice? minus Benson

Here's my 2 cents, if you want to still play a Open system you might as well go with it. Find a way to bring Biro and Rousek up and stick them on Krebs wings on the 4th line. Just push the pace with all 4 lines.

Fixed...

Now that would be interesting to see.

Krebs passing was on display the last 2 games. I dont get the move back to 4C.
- DirtyDan

the more this looks like another developmental year

if nothing else, jost should be the 4th liner not krebs

jost will never be a third liner if we ever win a cup

Devon Levi and Zach Benson are dealing with lower-body injuries, the Sabres announced. Both day-to-day. Given rest to see how they recover.

I've been a huge critic of the Greenway acquisition but he seems to be the only player with a fire lit under his ass so far
- Buffalo--Sabres

agreed

I hated the move at the time

it's the one move I actually like from the last 12 months

Fixed...

Injured Reserve List
In the event that a player is injured and a Club wishes to place him on the Injured Reserve List the Club must follow these procedures:

A club may place a player on the Injured Reserve List if such player is injured, disabled or ill and unable to perform his duties as a hockey player after having passed the Club's initial physical examination in that season.

A player who has an injury that renders him physically unable to play for a minumum of seven days after that date of the injury can be placed on the Club's Injured Reserve List. Once a player is placed on the list, the Club may replace said player on its NHL roster with another player. All determinations that a player has suffered an injury warranting injured reserve status must be made by the Club's medical staff and in accordance with the Club's medical standards.

A player placed on Injured Reserve is ineligible to compete in NHL games for a period of not less than seven days.

Players on Injured Reserve may attend Club meetings and meals, travel with the Club and participate in practice sessions.



he would have to miss 3 games

numb the damn thing with a topical anesthetic cream

What is up with Savoie, gotta get him some action if he's ready. Not doing anything for his development on the sidelines.

Agreed.

When the strength of your core is built on offense, trying to force a defensive approach ends up with what we've seen so far: A team that isn't good at either one.
- kingcong39

That is what pre-cup winning Tampa thought too.

Could understand him not being 100% yet, technically they can't send him anywhere until he's healthy. Think they need to do something next week.
