The models also can’t account for ~~vibes~~ which is why the Sabres will do better than the models predict. Unfortunately the models are predicting them finishing at the bottom of the league so that means they won’t make the playoffs but won’t be low enough for a meaningful draft pick.

Ace Jameson posted:that’s garbage starting a fight after a completely clean hit, he rightfully got the 10 for instigating Yeah it seemed kind of excessive, like why fight in a preseason game? Maybe he just wanted to say he got the Gordie Howe hat trick lol

Are the Preds & Sharks playing in Europe? Is that why they are playing regular season games at the same time as preseason games?

Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:https://twitter.com/JFreshHockey/status/1580203021912313858 He’s great. Huge kid who plays physical and is actually really good at defense. He’s going to start the season paired with Dahlin and it’s going to be glorious. The top two pairs of Samuelsson-Dahlin and Power-Jokiharju should be great. That’s 3.5 great defensemen, Jokiharju needs to step up. Not so sure about Bryson-Lyubushkin though, Bryson is questionable at best. Lyubushkin better be really good lol Blackbelt Bobman fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Oct 12, 2022 |

Starsfan posted:I kind of relate it to the John Klingberg contract, who was signed for a 7 year term at 4.25 mill a season after his rookie (65 game) season. Now obviously there's a difference in that Klingberg's offensive talent which was obvious even after his first year is more of a premium skill than the things that Samuelsson does well, but it shouldn't be forgotten that at the time of signing that contract there was very mixed feedback with alot of people expressing incredulity at the idea of signing a player to a max term contract on the basis of a 65 game sample and others pointing out the huge issues with his defensive zone play. You’re right that he’s like an opposite version of Klingberg. When the Sabres are good in a few years, this contract will be a steal.

Koopa Kid posted:I have bad news He was supposed to be their big off-season defense acquisition and uhhh it was a weird choice. I still think they should’ve gotten PK Subban. Also Pilut came back from Europe and they sent him to Rochester in favor of Bryson, might be a mistake idk. Defense is definitely the Sabres weakest link right now and has the least depth.

We love this poo poo in Buffalo. He’s good at defense, the Sabres just had absolutely atrocious goaltending last year. If Anderson or UPL can stay healthy they will do better. Maybe not playoff caliber but anyway here’s tonight’s lines, probably: Skinner-Thompson-Olofsson Quinn-Mittelstadt-Tuch Krebs-Cozens-Peterka Girgensens-Asplund-Okposo Samuelsson-Dahlin Power-Jokiharju Bryson-Lyubushkin Anderson Three of those players are 30 or older. The guys on the third line are each like 19-20 lol this season is going to be wild!

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:How old is Craig Anderson now? 50? 41, coincidentally also his jersey # Edit: we’re obviously joking about the Sabres being good already. They probably won’t make the playoffs this season but they have a growth mentality and the org has an actual plan now so we’re all very optimistic.

Eric the Mauve posted:Wanting Patrick Kane on your team is really gross, I'm thankful the Penguins don't have the cap space to even think about it. Talking heads keep saying he’ll end up in Buffalo because hometown hero or whatever but this team is built on good vibes and Kane is like 100% bad vibes and would make them actively worse. I don’t give a gently caress if he’s good at scoring goals and won a few cups.

I know Comrie isn’t going to give the Sabres Vezina-level goaltending all season but I am going to enjoy it while it lasts because he was insane last night. Just an absolute brick wall. Also: https://twitter.com/nhl/status/1582559332306063362?s=46&t=oL2b0OVcdy9riZFBer8zeA Tage Thompson

Dahlin scored a goal, so that’s a goal in each of their first five game. Broke the record that he set on Thursday lmao Dahlin for Norris Edit: https://twitter.com/thechargingbuf/status/1584009543771881472?s=46&t=WvmWplRi9Ea31-GstugIvw

Boudreau pulled the goalie with ~3 minutes left and the Sabres immediately scored an empty netter to make it 4-1. Then Demko went back into the goal and Olofsson scored on him to make it 5-1 lmao the Canucks are special

ThinkTank posted:yup, they had a triple jersey toss at the home opener and the crowd booed the guy they signed to a 7 year extension (that doesn't kick in until next year) last month. The crowd booed basically everything in the third period. It was awesome (for Buffalo)

HookShot posted:Vancouvers problem is that elite goaltending was the only reason this wasn’t happening last year. It’s not like Tyler Myers and OEL being loving pylons is a new thing. Only before they had too-tier goaltending to hide the fact that the entire defense is a dumpster fire. Demko is regressing slightly and it’s showing all of the flaws that were always there, he just kept the team out of trouble before. Tyler Myers is actually a giraffe
