I'm trying to get over disliking sam greatly.
Him signing a reasonable contract and not sitting out is a good start.
Helping cozens and working with the rookie will make me like him more. I can definitely see them playing well together.

Serious question as you are a serious Girgensons fan: why did he get moved to wing? I dont remember him being bad at center. Faceoffs? I feel like he should be given a shot at a bottom-6 center job regardless

It's a good question. Ironically, it's very sam like. Drafted in the 1st round as a center, but coach after coach really doesnt give you a second look there?

I'm sure faceoffs are a big part. Probably footspeed.

Strange that he always drew larry as a running mate.

I think Girgensons can play center. The best hockey of his career was at center under the Latvian whisperer teddy nolan

I think cozens mitts and Quinn definitely have a shot now. 29 player taxi squad is a lot of players

We also don’t know if the AHL is officially happening.

- Sabretooth9


Taxi Squad rules will be similar to assigning players to the AHL. I'm guessing NHL (23 man roster) or Juniors only for Quinn and Cozens.

What will be interesting is if the WHL and OHL seasons keep getting delayed, will this change and they allow these players to play in the AHL/taxi squad this season.

I kinda felt like girgs played for teddy. He also played important minutes, which helped his #"s.

Ralph seemed to bring that " playing for your coach" , back.....

In girgs defense, there were years his franchise was purposely losing. Way too many

With Rochester being so close,
I wonder if the Sabres will even take advantage of the taxi squad
Probably makes more sense to have guys playing every night instead of in the press box

I was thinking the same thing. And Elliote Friedman indicated the same thing on WGR last week.

What I don't understand is that reports tonight say taxi squad is 4-6 players. Does that mean a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 6? As in, they are required to travel with at least 4 extra players in case roster players test positive for Covid?

Otherwise, you want to pay and play players to be active in the AHL if possible. I could see the Sabres might want to travel with 3rd goalie at a minimum.

The rules for taxi should be very loose with COVID. Hopefully

OMG !!! Thanks ! I had to turn it back on and watch after the credits. Thank you for the heads-up.

And what an amazing episode...as usual. They keep topping each episode with more awesomeness. But I wonder what will happen with the Darksaber thing. If that were me, I would have somehow chucked it into deep space. "You want this thing ? Too bad" (throws it into a hatch and hits the eject button).

This sounds like what Kevyn Krueger has done with the notion of upgrading the D and G positions to date.

Bill's 34- 13; after posting a 14 - 10 lead at halftime.

Allen ends up with 325 / 3 TDs.

I'm facing him in fantasy this week. I will stomach a Jets game performance and Nick Wright being insufferable for another week.
