Sabres & NHL 2016-17 - Victor Antipin Signs One Year Deal

[shrader]

 

@BNHarrington

So #Sabres going Okposo-ROR-Girgensons, Grant-Eichel-Reinhart, Foligno-Larsson-Gionta, Moulson-Kane-Carrier

 

 

So 3 centers on the 2nd line and 0 centers on the 4th line? Makes sense.

Say hello to Captain Jack!

 

@BillHoppeNHL

If u want one reason why Jack Eichel is a good teammate, he went out of his way to mention Bogosian & Deslauriers, two injured guys, today.

@BuffaloSabres

Coach Bylsma: Gorges was injured last night - undergoing some tests. Lehner is back & feeling good; will start tomorrow.

I thought that McCabe played a superb game. He continues to add to his game and is becoming much more assertive on offense. On one sequence where we scored he was the player who dominated the possession.

 

For some reason I am just not seeing what multiple other folks seem to be seeing. The guy played at the upper end of his ability last night and he was still a mental mistake just waiting to happen. Right now I think he is the biggest liability on this roster and his questionable decision making is one of the reasons I really want to see the Bogosian/Kulikov pairing back as quick as possible.

Right now I think he is the biggest liability on this roster and his questionable decision making is one of the reasons I really want to see the Bogosian/Kulikov pairing back as quick as possible.

He is a young defenseman who in my estimation is getting better. It's interesting how two people can be watching the same player and come to different conclusions. (I'm not saying your view of McCabe is wrong but I do view it very differently.) The analyst for the game, May, stated that he felt that McCabe played very well in this game.

 

Without concern to the pairings I do want to see Kulikov and Bogosian get back into action. From what has been reported Kulikov is expected back soon. As far as making questionable decisions it's my opinion that Kulikov has a tendency to be more prone to make mistakes than McCabe. Even with that assessment I still want Kulikov back to help bolster the defense corps.

The article i read says this is on an emergency basis and he must be returned as soon as Gorges foot is healed. For the rules experts out there...what if Gorges is out 10 games, does that burn the first year of his ELC?

 

These hockey contract rules can be really complicated.

Even if Gorges is out that long, Kulikov will be back before then.

@BNHarrington

#Sabres coach Dan Bylsma will meet the media at 10:30 a.m. to discuss Gorges/Guhle.

[26CornerBlitz]

@BuffaloSabres

GAME DAY! An early one today - everything you need to know: http://bufsabres.co/6ZTIEj

[26CornerBlitz]

@JoeYerdon

Bylsma confirms Brendan Guhle will play, paired with Cody Franson. He says Gorges will be out for a bit, will update after the game. #Sabres

@CapFriendly

#Sabres have recalled Brendan Guhle from WHL on Emergency basis. Per the NHL/CHL agreement, 4 ways in which team can recall a Junior player.

@BuffaloSabres

Brendan Guhle on how he heard the news: "Coach said I was traded to the Sabres." But really, because of injuries, got called up.

Guhle said he got in at 1:30 in the morning but doesn't mind about the travel. Happy to be here.

@Matt_Bove

#Sabres head coach Dan Bylsma said that Guhle was close to making the team outright after training camp @WKBW

@BuffNewsVogl

 

Eichel makes impression on Sabres' offseason additions: "I didnt realize what kind of a difference-maker he was."

https://t.co/RMiQwKmrwt

 

@Matt_Bove

 

#Sabres have 9 goals in 2 games. Before Eichel's return it took them 6 games to score 9 goals. Man, he's good @WKBW

https://t.co/HhEb1MoW2r

 

That play doesn't look all that special, except that Eichel can hit whatever key hole you leave open. That's what makes him special. Watch how many times goalies look at where the goal went in in amazement. Lundquist played that angle right but with Jack you are doomed anyway.
