Not to be critical, but I couldn't listen to Cozens and Thompson.

But two thumbs up to Lindy and Peterka.(even the German!)

I love Thompson at this point (I was absolutely one of the doubters early on), but that man has the personality of wet cardboard.

But it's probably a good thing. Lord knows we don't need another ROR playing the guitar for interviews anymore.

Per Lance (via his YT update) the ice surface for this game is going to be more NHL sized than what we saw in Munich.

 

[Willgamesh]

Crazy to me games can count for NHL standings but not be NHL regulation size rink. It's like two NFL teams playing on an Arena football field.

 

[Mattilaus]

I just want someone to look at me the way Quinn looks at Tage

considering how the sport is officiated I do not wonder about that

That might be the only time I’d watch an NFL game that isn’t a Superb Owl.

 

[Dingo44]

This is great.

Whos' the second goalie in Germany for the Back to Back? Levi?

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

I'd start 6K in the 2nd game if he wins the opener, and Levi otherwise. Lots of time before they resume play in NA.

 

[SECRET SQUIRREL]

My guess is that UPL and Levi will get a game each and Optimus Reim is the backup for both.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

They mentioned all the German players that have played for the Sabres like Hecht, Ehrhoff, Sulzer even Rieder (kind of forgot about that guy).

Krupp?

The Global series has been NHL rink size before.

Pesce and Luke Hughes are both out, which is nice for Buffalo. First time in a while where we're the team with fewer injuries!

Here's the matchup, with the better player (IMO) in bold. Pretty even, though our healthy defense should give a real advantage.

JJP vs Bratt
Tage vs Hughes
Tuch vs Meier

Benson vs Tatar
Cozens vs Hishier
Quinn vs Mercer

Zucker vs Palat
McLeod vs Haula
Greenway vs Noesen

Malenstyn vs Cotter
Lafferty vs Lazar
NAK vs Bastian

Dahlin vs Hamilton
Joki vs Seigenthaler
Byram vs Dillon
Power vs Nemec
Sammy vs Kovacevic
Clifton vs Disimone

We really need to win at least one of these two games.

Hmm I think the 3rd lines could go either way, it's pretty close

Krupp?

He was mentioned in the interview with Lindy.

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.

Casey has looked very good for the Devils and has seemingly made the opening night roster with LHughes and Pesce both out. He and Nemec as a third pairing is going to be interesting since they both can move the puck so well.

At least get one W
