Really nice inerview for Krebs with Marty and Duffer. As much as I want a ton more out of him on ice, he's a classy young man. Let's hope he gets off the snide tonight.

What does the bold above mean, in the context of what Rousek could've or should've done differently last night?

Think UPL should get some looks.

As long as he doesn’t have to go thru waivers to go back and forth, it would work. Andy can rest more, kid can play some.

If you troll, the only options are to troll right back or ignore. Could be dialed back at any time. Your real hockey opinions are interesting.

I appreciate him going for the ENG with a minute left. And I appreciate him not bailing out, but if looked up he might not have be leveled. Probably better move to not go for the goal there once you see the other guy lining you up as you skate around the corner.

I believe he has 1 more year, so yes he is waiver exempt. Really don't see the harm in it. Kid has actually played better up here. Probably cause it's more structured on the ice. Played very well down in Rochester with that D in front of him. Hell of a 3rd last night. Stopped 19 of 20 shots.

Good example with Spencer knight.

I havent been following to closely ,but upl hasn't been pushing for an NHL spot like a 13OA type goalie in Spencer.

If upl puts together some good games, absolutely call him up.

Just playing devils advocate with craig Anderson and any good vibes moving forward. He's passing legends every game he wins.

Rochester is so close to Buffalo, it would make it even easier to do with a little planning.

Gets a little awkward, since Subban hasn't played a minute yet this year.

Andy is a good dude, I don’t think he would be a wiener about it if the Sabres did try it.

Are the Sabres carrying 3 goalies?
Let Subban play those games in the A when they bring him up

Agreed, but when Anderson signed his contract, there had to be some discussion on usage.

Looking up his alltime wins, he might only pass 1 or 2 more goalies. 8 behind the next guy kiprusov.


Maybe even upl's name came into the mix then?

Anderson has played 3 really great games as well

It probably will come down to upl waiting for an injury call up, or someone’s performance falling way off.

Believe he's been dealing with injuries all season...and ever since the Sabres acquired him. Expensive anthem singer.

Josh Allen was not present during media-open portion of practice today.

Tremaine Edmunds not seen, either.

Kaiir Elam on stationary bike not practicing.

Jordan Poyer working with trainers and not practicing.

It's Case Keenum time this week.

This Bills regime has been ultra-cautious with injuries since the beginning. If Allen isn't practicing by now, there's very little chance he plays this week.

I posted the other day saw 2 to 4 weeks, he got lucky and has a grade 1 sprain. I would be surprised if he played, more likely next week. It will be basically be 2 weeks then.

If Rousek had bailed, what would the fan reaction have been?

I believe he knew there was a chance he was going to get hammered, and he decided to take the calculated risk to try and win the game by scoring the empty net goal there over his own physical well being.

Isn't that the kind of player Sabres fan want on the team: those that will do anything to win?

I'm more interested in Raddysh's game plan there, as it looked identical to Scheifele's plan in the playoffs against Montreal that he received a lengthy suspension over.

Boston is the more important game. Anderson must have said he can't do both.
