GDT: Sabres @ Columbus 7 PM ET TV:MSG Radio:WGR550

[BFLO]

I'm curious to get a look at Monahan tonight. I was shouted down for suggesting the Sabres pick him up as a UFA over the summer. His contract is too long at 5 x$5.5m and there is a high risk he gets injured again...

but he's off to a good start. 4 points in 3 games. And +17 in faceoffs won

He would be infinitely better than Cozens at 2C and be getting paid less.

Remember that practice video where Cozens told Malenstyn not to go easy at him hard and Cozens couldn't even skate around a 4th liner.

Yeah.

Wish there was ANYONE from the Sabres press huddle who is covering the team but it looks like with fan interest dying, so too are reports travelling with the team.

blue jacket fan here, buffalo wins

I mean, the potential jinx here is immense.

How has Tarasov been thus far? Figure he will get to confound Buffalo's shooters tonight.

I've pretty much run out of moral victories already and we're only through 5 games! There just has to be a point when "playing well" doesn't get a pass. I'm hoping that the strong ES play translates to wins soon but this is getting just silly.

 

[WiHockeyGuy]

I'll be treating this game the same as every other game thus far: I'll check in from time-to-time.

Hope they win, hope Levi has another solid game.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Should be a fairly easy win against a weak team with weak goaltending, but never underestimate a rested home team facing an opponent on the 2nd game of a back-to-back. At least the flight was about as short as it gets.

He wasn’t there for the morning skate. He even has a text on Twitter talking about who to look for for details.

Given that they played in Pittsburgh yesterday, he probably had to wait on a commercial flight from Pittsburgh to Columbus and didn't make it.

I'm guessing he wouldn't be allowed to catch a ride on the team's charter.

This isn’t an anti-Byram post so don’t take it as such.

Boy would they be in an infinitely better spot if they had Mittelstadt to slide into Cozens spot and let him work out his issues not centering the second line straight into disaster.

That’s exactly why the trade wasn't a good gamble.
