Buffalo Sabres 2024-25 Training Camp Thread

[Zman5778]

If we don't crush the Pens tonight there is going to be a lot of panic around here.

It's preseason hockey. Weird, weird things happen.

Is the game streamed anywhere?

 

[Jacob582]

The Sabres are off tomorrow (Sunday).

They next hit the ice on Monday:
9-10 AM scrimmage
11 AM morning skate (game group)
5 PM vs Columbus

Byram definitely has a swagger about him...which I can imagine is good for that room. I have high hopes that he'll be outstanding under Lindy. Perhaps he can be the Campbell of this group.

His comments were also pretty damning on Granato's system and lack of leadership imo. I really hope this is a good marriage of coach and player. If we can get Byram to hit his potential, we should be a very solid top 4 no matter how you slice it.

There’s a stupid amount of talent between Dahlin, Byram, and Power. Unlocking more potential from OP and Byram could get us one of the best blue lines in the league.

Our top 4 will be amazing if Samuelsson can stay healthy. Bottom pair i am not so sure Luckily our top D can eat minutes.

Have heard from an A1 source that the coaching staff thinks Byram has been their best player since camp started. They’re super impressed

Sounds good, our defense looks potentially very solid.

Ruff has complimented him frequently so it lines up with his public takes. That could be huge.

Lindy had a tendency of bringing out the best in defensemen like him, no? Thinking Campbell, Myers, and Im sure there are others from different teams he's coached.

Great. Now I want steak* for dinner.

*A1 steak sauce is popular here in the States for those of you outside North America.

I feel like he would also like Byram's preparation. He noted in the video above that he learned in Colorado how to be a good pro and keep your body prepared. If he took lessons from MacK on preparation and discipline then he is probably ahead of the others when it comes to conditioning. We have all heard the stories about how MacKinnon is super stringent on preparation, conditioning, and diet.

I use a lot of A1 but for everything but steaks.

Mmm... A1 on french fries is YUMM!! I put it on hamburgers sometimes but never on actual steak.

I like it on burgers and in soups and gravies.

Id even go and say Clifton will be much better as well. A Sami/Clifton shutdown d pair would be a great revelation.

and if not we have some good depth options now in Johnson/Gilbert/Bryson

It shocked me how fast people seemed to want to write Bo off. He is so young and has shown top-end skill already. Plus he is a cup champion.

I have a lot of faith in Bo. I watched him in the WHL conference finals in his draft year and he was the best player on the ice. Controlling the play of the game as a draft eligible d-man is quite impressive.

We have good depth throughout for the first time in awhile. I wouldn't mind another vet F who is fine to sit in the box. At the same time I think Rousek would be a good 14th who could rotate in every 5 or 10 games when healthy.
