He was asleep through all of it, but these were my dad's last Sabres and Bills games and I choose to believe that they kicked ass for him.

 

I think they did, as well. Condolences, Shrader.

10-18: DAN BYLSMA ON WGR (13:48)

Bylsma- It was 8 minutes to the end of practice, Jack goes down in a heap, air goes out of building

Bylsma- I felt more compelled to talk about injury due to start of season

Bylsma- Eichel's going to find out its the mental part that is the hardest with injury

Bylsma- Once he gets closer, there are different ways to get Eichel engaged

Bylsma- It's a difficult thing to do, come to a new team, but it's quite clear that Okposo has a calming presence.

Bylsma- I hope the elbowing play from Lucic on Okposo gets looked at

Bylsma- Ennis is working to get back to how he has played before

Bylsma- Over the course of games, we will pair Kulikov with Ristolainen more often

Bylsma- No timeline on Kane's return from cracked ribs

Is "cracked ribs" really a medical diagnosis? I've never heard of anyone sustaining a "cracked" femur.

 

It's just funny to me; I believe "fractured ribs" is what a doctor would diagnose.

I had a cracked femur and still have three screws in my leg. Basically time is the healer and little can be done to accelerate the process.

So you're saying "cracked" rather than "fractured" was your clinical diagnosis?

@JourdonLaBarber

Nick Baptiste takes first reps on a line with Derek Grant and Matt Moulson. That's a good sign for him to possibly make his debut today.

#Sabres lines:

Reinhart-O'Reilly-Okposo

Foligno-Larsson-Gionta

Ennis-Girgensons-Deslauriers

Moulson-Grant-Baptiste

 

D-pairs look the same:

Gorges-Risto

McCabe-Bogosian

Kulikov-Franson


Flames Projected Lineup

 

FORWARDS

Johnny Gaudreau - Sean Monahan - Kris Versteeg

Matthew Tkachuk - Sam Bennett - Troy Brouwer

Lance Bouma - Mikael Backlund - Michael Frolik

Micheal Ferland - Matt Stajan - Alex Chiasson

 

DEFENCE

Mark Giordano - TJ Brodie

Dougie Hamilton - Jyrki Jokipakka

Brett Kulak - Deryk Engelland

I was in so much pain that I was not concerned with the precision of the medical terminology. The ambulance ride was bumpy and I was in excruciating pain. Upon arrival to the hospital I was placed on a stretcher and pushed by an assshole young orderly who was reckless pushing me like I was a dead carcass to the freezing basement in order to get an x-ray. After threatening to punch his F####ing face in he became more delicate in the manner he was handling me. In addition, while waiting alone in the polar basement for my turn in the x-ray room I had to desperately take a peeee; I couldn't do it without assistance. Other than that things went as well as could be expected. Much to my chagrin I couldn't remember whether the staff used the word "fractured" or "cracked" to describe my injury. :sick:

Laughing was literally the worst thing in the world.

 

I guess that explains you later in life.

I had 2 fractured ribs in high school. It hurt to breath for like 3 weeks. Laughing was literally the worst thing in the world.

You only think that because you weren't a rope-smokling redneck in HS. If you were, you'd know that coughing with cracked ribs was even worse. :blush:

Nice for the refs to put the whistles away in last three minutes.

 

Monahan got away with a penalty in OT just before netting the winner. It was the National "Hokey" League tonight when you factor in the Flames 1st goal that shouldn't have counted.

weird on the first..good goal yes, but did they ever explain why it counted? May says no penalty on the winner, i say for sure it was a cross check, not a hit in the back

Inadvertent whistle should have negated the Flames' 1st goal.

Disappointed in the softie Lehner gave up to tie it at 3...otherwise that was an entertaining game. It was the first one I've gotten a chance to watch and I was impressed with how the Sabres played.
