That went about as I expected. It looked like a bunch of guys who haven’t played hockey in a long time. Rusty, sloppy, out of sync, timing off, guys getting tired quick... Despite the piss poor d zone play and big mistakes the Sabres were still in it right till the end. It took Eichel quite a while to get going too. He looked super rusty. Lots of guys did. I’m anxious to see how they look tomorrow night. Let’s hope they shook off some of the rust tonight and come out looking more ready to play. I think we can compete with this Washington team. I totally forgot they hired Peter Laviolette though. That sucks. Why couldn’t they have stuck with Todd Rierden for 1 more season? 😂

7pm EST tonight!

Sabres were higher on the list than I expected. I just immediately scrolled all the way to the bottom of the list 😂 then had to scroll back up to find them.

That’s what makes me think that there could be more going on behind the scenes w/skinner. We don’t know what is happening in practice and meetings that could be contributing to whatever the issue is. Thats why it’s so hard to judge stuff like this as fans, since we really only know a small fraction of what happens.

Skinner back in the doghouse already. He didn’t last long with Staal. Seems clear there’s some type of disconnect between him and Krueger.

That’s what I was wondering. Some on Twitter saying he’d be eligible to play quicker because he was on a team up until 4 days ago and is current on covid testing, but I have no idea if that’s true or not. I did just read this: https://www.nfl.com/news/jared-veldheer-to-play-for-two-different-teams-in-same-postseason-after-signing- ‘Jared Veldheer to play for two teams in same postseason after signing with Packers’ He was on the colts practice squad and played on Saturday. Now apparently he’s set to play for the packers this weekend.

I think so. From the article:

https://theathletic.com/2316763/2021/01/11/sharks-evander-kane-bankruptcy/ ‘Sharks’ Evander Kane files for bankruptcy with $26.8 million of debt’

He would be such a good, stabilizing presence for that franchise. I know he really wants another shot at a head coaching job. I wish him luck! Glad to see that he’s at least getting an HCing interview. He should be getting more IMO. The Bills have had a top tier defense almost every year since he became DC.

This is crazy. But I’m Happy for our Lake Erie bro’s! Browns fans have suffered about as much as we have.

This is crazy!

Well... it looks like we might be playing the Ravens... 😂

This Thursday is the first real Sabres game! We start out with back to back games against the capitols Thursday and Friday.

7pm EST tonight. Lets hope for a Sabres win! 😁

Bullsh*t

Ugh

Ugh I’m getting nervous....

👍

http://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/sabres-sign-riley-sheahan-to-one-year-700000-contract/ Riley Sheahan’s PTO turned into a 1 year $700k deal. I kind of figured he’d be signed once Girgensons was out for the season.

Wasn’t really sure where else to put this. Its a fun Twitter thread. Tons of Josh Allen throws (40+) (click on tweet to see full thread)

I was thrilled. He was the guy I wanted as soon as I saw his name on the interview list. I pounded the table for him. I’ve been a fan of his since 2013, when his Carolina defense really turned the corner (with a bunch of no name players) in the 2nd half of that season. I remember reading about him as an up&comer when he was in Philly and I followed his defenses in carolina (top 10 almost every year!). That 2015 Carolina defense was amazing! and I loved that guys were having so much fun.

bummer. I thought he played his role very well in Krueger’s system. I feel bad for Girgensons. He loves it in Buffalo and I know (from articles and interviews) that he was super excited for this season.
