Great job by Kevyn leaving Rochester with goaltending that would be bad by ECHL standards so the kids can get marinated in failure and demoralization.
Future Sabres GM Karmanos did most of teh handywork here.

Always been a Don Stevens fan. Wish we promoted him instead of Dan Dunleavy.

Also love freeze frame as the goal song this year.
He's ten times better than Dunleavy.

Leone on tonight's game:



Didn't know the history about Vogelhuber and Leone as junior teammates and of course Chris Bergeron who was momentarily on staff in Buffalo this summer I knew.

- Kozak to the wing with Helenius and Rosen to get him more TOI, praises his 5-on-5 play and the need to get him more opportunities on the ice to get that sort of puck pursuit and net jam.
- Nadeau draws in, calls him "one of our best practice players" and talks up how they need to get to harder areas more which is of course Nadeau's game.
- Thinks the PP is doing some things well which sounds like the company line from the big club as well. I know in what I've watched, they've had opportunities but failed to convert. Feels like they miss Mersch with the two-man net presence and off-post backdoor play as an option. (And of course Rosen-Kulich for the one-timer hookups isn't the same with Kulich up).
- Edit: Houser gets the start.

do we get Reimer back for Roch once Ana gets back Gibson?

I would think that is the move if Anaheim moves him to waivers AND no other team has a claim in. I’ve felt only one game was a bit dubious in net but it could be better.

Reimer watch:

John Gibson will travel with his team this weekend. He has been practicing and is close to being cleared.

Slaggert with a nice breakaway goal.

Amerks DOMINATING the first 5v5.

Ostlund with some great PK work.

Refs favoring Cleveland. 3 penalties against Roch. 2 are questionable.
