Bills have one of the easiest, if not the easiest, remaining strength of schedules in the league.

I have Beasley as well in both of my leagues cause I got him really late in both drafts.

3-0 in 1 league, 2-1 in the other cause McCaffrey only got me 6 points before getting hurt 🥺

2 guaranteed losses to the jets

The Houston game scares me. The following game is at KC. Dare I say “looking ahead”.

It's Watson being held out due to the trade request or legal issues?

best thing for the bills was the week 1 loss to stay focused here on out

SPORTSNET: During his latest “32 Thoughts” podcast, Elliotte Friedman speculates it could take the NHL stepping in to resolve the impasse between the Sabres and Eichel over which medical procedure he’ll undergo to repair a herniated disc in his neck.

Friedman understands the NHL wants to protect the rules of the CBA, which gives teams control over the medical and health procedures of their players. Nevertheless, he feels this isn’t a good look for the league to have one of its star players being held back from playing because they can’t agree on a surgery.

He also suggested every team should see Eichel’s medical records if he agrees to it. It’s difficult to trade a player carrying a $10 million per season contract but it’s almost impossible to do so given the lack of information over his current condition.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: Back in August, Friedman reported the league met with the Sabres, Eichel and his representatives, and the NHLPA in an attempt to help all sides reach an agreement but nothing was resolved. That could be the extent of the league’s involvement in this situation.

It’ll be interesting to see if the NHLPA pushes for players to have more control regarding the treatment of hockey-related injuries in the next round of collective bargaining.

From recent comments, maybe Gary should be calling the insurance company that backs Jack’s $50 million dollar contract…

Cue the Florida Panthers talk.

Great article as always Hank wanted to make a few points from what I saw but I'll start with the using the Columbus guys. I'm assuming msg wasn't even there, I could be wrong, but it was a bit of an easy fix if you were watching on your computer for I just muted them and then open wgr550 in another tab listen live to Rob Ray and the other guy.
--I think Dustin tokarski look excellent and could very well push Dell down to the minor leagues.
--jj peterka did look amazing, It's pretty rare I praise a rookie, his only mistake was a bad cross-checking penalty early in the game.
--weissbach
Is surprisingly looking like a stud and could very well be in the mix pushing Drake caggiula to the healthy scratches. At this moment I think he looks better than Quinn. And I really like Quinn for the record. His speed basically created all the goals in the third.. even when he missed he made an unbelievable passes from behind the net to the front for a great opportunity or goal.
--
Lastly I'm not going to jump up and down for a preseason win but I will say I really like the no quit attitude. I think it was this week you asked what do sabre fans expect and I had said to play a bit like Ottawa last year. Many fans will overlook the Barrie Colts, Cleveland contract goalie for the big come back. If Elvis had played that whole game we would have been destroyed, most likely. But another point for Dustin tokarski is their scoring lines didn't go to the bench to sit out rest of game.

Peterka is the truth.

Sabres finally hit a home run outside of the first round.

The one-on-one move Weissbach made to create a breakaway was terrific. Absolutely beautiful

They had to have the sack to make the move and then do it. They deserve credit for that.

they traded up for him too

Thanks Hank.

No pre-game primers for me. I like the re-hash from a previous game.

Thanks for the input. Probably the way I'll go

Great reed Hanky panky,

WeissBach is going to be the real deal if he can utilize those hands against real NHL talent. Diamond in the rough



I vote re-hash but wouldn't mind some smaller pre-game articles when we play division rivals maybe? Whatever floats your boat

they traded up for him too
- Michael Pachla

i didn't realize that.. i thought it was just their turn to pick.. ill give them props for that.

Well, another pretty poor showing for my boy. Nice shoot out goal, but I'm beginning to worry.

I miss Samson. Samson never made me worry.

- Michael Pachla

Lucky they did too. I've been watching, but don't think I'd seen that type of shine from Peterka yet. Now I get what you all were talking about. He was our best player and other than Weissbach, no one else was really close. Maybe Butcher.
