Buffalo Winter’s drafted team

As you may or may not know, I do not use goaltenders, this Wednesday when the waiver wire becomes active, these two netminders will be dropped for two positive point producing players.

Is Ruff is ruining the Sabres playoff chances?

Here along the Lake It is truly remarkable that the coach has sent our best (imho) goaltender Devon Levi, who was allowed only two preseason periods of play (both shutouts) down to Rochester.

Incredible as it may seem the coach also has a lifetime AHLer goon Geertsen on the roster, this player has only played 25 NHL in his entire career, and ironically, they were under this coach when he was with New Jersey.

Lyon Solid in Net

Sabres 5 – Red Wings 2 Born in Buffalo, Won Cups in Chicago, and now lights the lamp for Detroit, (RW) Patrick Kane put the Red Wings on the board with less than 90 seconds remaining in the first period to get Detroit within one of Buffalo 2-1 before heading into the locker room.

The Sabres hustled and played well all night, out blocking, out hitting, and outscoring the Red Wings while getting good goaltending from newcomer (G) Lyon versus his former team that gives him a solid look for backing up (G) Levi on opening night.

The Sabres preseason continues Wednesday October 1st as Buffalo hosts Pittsburgh first in their home and home series with the Penguins who then host the Sabres Friday night October 3rd for Buffalo’s final preseason contest.

Swiss cheese with your wings

Sabres 2 – Red Wings 5 There were three starters on the Sabres last night, and Buffalo scored both of their goals on the power play, but that does not cover the fact the Ruff’s goaltender Georgiev is not an NHL starter, if he was Colorado would have kept him.

I am literally at a loss for words why Ruff thinks this player has something to prove, because after eight years we know (G) Georgiev cannot keep his GAA below three and after playing for the Rangers, Avalanche, and one season with the Sharks, he has impressed no one, except Ruff.

(G) Devon Levi is the Sabres goaltender and if Coach Appert has any say in who is in net this upcoming regular season fine, but if left up to Ruff this is going to be a rocky beginning come October especially if Ruff insists that (G) Georgiev and career AHLer (D) Geertsen have to be in the lineup.

Fantasy hockey player to watch, Utah’s 6′ 4″ (D) “Smash” Simashev had three blocks last night versus (RW) Marner and the Knights and could be a sleeper defenseman that can consistently block. Buffalo Winter will draft a team tonight and at the very least will have this defenseman on the watch list.

Sabres Wings Order is Ready

Here along the Lake Culturally, Buffalo fans enjoy putting away an order of wings on game night, tonight beginning at 7pm EST we can eat and beat wings at the same time.

Historically Buffalo has earned nearly a 60% winning percentage at home versus Detroit, which means…the Sabres only win approximately 40% of the time in the Motor City. But with no Gordie Howe playing for Detroit tonight Buffalo has more than a 40% chance of winning tonight’s contest.

In the above photo you can see that not one fan is wearing their favorite team’s sweater, grown men are not wearing baseball caps backwards, even the few boys in attendance sport no paraphernalia, how times have changed in over 100 seasons of hockey.
