Definitely Levi because they put him in for the second half of the Red Bull game. I imagine to make sure he’s not too rusty
Oh ok because I thought Reimer went on the trip with them. I'm happy Levi is getting a fair shake, I thought it was all but mentioned Reimer took his backup spot away when he signed.

I think most people have come to the conclusion that unless UPL falls apart that Levi will be up and down getting as many games as possible. While Remier will be the “official” back up but may get about as many games as Levi in the NHL.

Sabres can’t risk losing Remier to waivers and having Sandstrom as their 3

Also, at 36 can Reimer even handle a starting workload in the AHL?

And if Sandstrom plays a lot of games in Rochester then they better get used to losing.

Yeah, if they can get both, great, but at least one so they're not immediately coming home to questions about their start. Also, not to get too far behind early.

I would be happy if the go 1-1
At least get one W
An 0-2 start would have the team scrambling to get back to .500 at the very outset of the season, their confidence already bruised. The toxicity on this board would be through the roof.

A 1st game victory will forestall all of that.

As I understand it, Reimer didn't play in a single preseason game? But why, it's a little strange to me.

Reimer is there because you have to take three goalies on the overseas trip. If you don’t and one thing happens you’re dressing a German league guy as backup in game 2.

He hasn’t played because there have been limited minutes for the two guys that are going to play. They had two early preseason games…each played one. Then they traveled and had one exhibition a week before the games are real. They split it.

All seems very logical. You don’t give those limited minutes to a guy who isn’t set to start over there. But you take him because a call up is on the other side of the ocean.

I wonder if we could sneak him down on a conditioning stint to start the season amd get a couple reps

Chicken wings are fried aren't they?

Either way, don't bring your own food and offer it to people when you go somewhere with much better food. Just enjoy the better food.
Deep fried. No breading.

And basically....... it's the sauce. Many imitations. Few authentic.

Think of it as food ambassidor-ship.

Buffalo is well known internationally for its superb (and unique) contributions to the epicurean pallet.
