Confirmed with Link: Sabres open 2024-25 season in Prague, Czechia vs NJ Devils + Preseason game vs RB Munich

[Sabre the Win]

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.

 

[Beerz]

Seems weird that Reimer bought a house in Buffalo on a 1 yr deal at 36.

Awesome place to live.

The lad just notified me that he will be attending both games in Prague. Way to go kiddo.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

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.

No surprise here:

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

There's no Reimer reason in this decision

 

[Beerz]

What do they mean released from tryout? .. We lost Metsa?

All players with existing AHL deals were extended PTOs in the preseason. The AHL deals are still legit at the end of these PTOs.

Admin brought Wings to Oktoberfest

Bringing fried chicken to Oktoberfest, what an utterly stupid idea.

PTO’s allow them to play in NHL exhibition games. They revert to prior contractual obligations after being released from the PTO.

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.

Have you ever been to Buffalo and had REAL wings?

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

They streamed a whole practice apparently while in Germany. I watched it and enjoyed it because I'm a sicko. I share it for the other sickos.

They worked on the PP a bunch.

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.
