This what I'd like to see done with lines:

Hall-Eichel-Olaf
Skinner-Staal-Reinhart
Routs/Mitts/Thompson -Eakin-Cozens
Reider-Sheahan/Lazar-Okoposo

Only 3 of Reider-Sheahan-Lazar-okoposo should be in the line up at once. Whoever is playing best of routs-mitts-thompson should be in lineup. With rest on taxi squad. Routs was killing penalties in Europe, if he could do that here wouldn't mind him on the 4th line as well.

I find this interesting.

9 forwards in the lines today are first round picks, not including Girgensons, Mittlestadt, Cozens.

3 D in first round, 2 in second round

Kinda weird.

Not that weird we have sucked for 12 years now

Only 2 of the 9 forwards are Sabres draft picks. Eichel and Reinhart. Dahlin and Risto are two drafted by Sabres.

Not drafted by Sabres, but 1st round picks:
Hall
Skinner
Staal
Sheehan
Lazar
Thompson
Okposo

Speaking of Sheahan:

I’m not Mr Breaking News and this isn’t the biggest deal or anything, but...

I’m hearing something may be up with Riley Sheahan signing w the Sabres. He’s been in camp on a PTO.

If what I’m hearing is correct, this looks to be a Girgensons replacement.

You have a pair of penalty killers in Sheahan and Eakin, although I'm not sure how good they are (not that the Sabres have much choice with letting Larsson go and Zemgus being out).

Ion- I've gotta give you some credit for the scouting report on johnson from team USA. The more you watch him in the games, the more composed and smooth he looked. No big flash to his game, but solid ice presence and no panic.

I think he's a legit NHL prospect. 👍

Edit: I thought I posted this yesterday, lol...woke up this am there is was waiting to be posted.

Thanks Boss. I really enjoyed watching that kid play too...he is going to be solid.

speaking of Fatty.. how has he looked in these practices? anything that shows that he is putting in the work besides that he is the last one off the ice?
- SabresFaninIndiana


Not a delayed response. But he lost 3 pounds and converted some of his mass to muscle. I'm looking for him to get off the tweener line and start fighting for third line scoring minutes.

Never too early. I just don’t get why they didn’t start him with the big group.

I doubt he’s rusty after being off for 2 days

Im guessing its a get up to speed day for them. WJC while being the best possible preparation for them to come into camp is not an NHL camp, they are kids coming in late but in game shape no need to rush them.

Cozens should make the team so im not worried about it

Day 3. Surgery went really well. About 5 hours to get it all taken care of. Really appreciate the great staff here at the Clevland Clinic. Last few days has been pretty crazy but feel like I’m in really good hands. Every day is a step in the right direction 👍🏻 https://t.co/wjMTosFWQy

Hmmm 🤔🤔🤔

This shouldn’t be surprising at all. They’re going to work them both in slowly.

Personally, I’m not expecting Cozens to be in the opening night lineup. That’s just me, we’ll see what happens.

The Stars have cancelled practice today. The team cannot reveal why, and the league will handle communication on this matter.

Reminder that teams cannot reveal any COVID-19 news and that the league is sending updates on testing.

Oh cool he can go from a dumpster fire to a flaming bag of poo.

He is Warren Moon all over again. You hate to see it because he is a tremendous athlete and a stand up guy.

If Houston traded him to the Jets they would only be ass-raping him even more than they already have.

This is really offensive. You think its ok to say stuff like that cause you think your on the right side of history?

Cant believe no one called this out. Say anything about a protest and your the worst human on earth, talk about sexual assault and just another day for some
