I’m not sure if I should feel concerned but guys hunched over huffing and puffing. You are supposed to come into camp in shape.

What good were those captain practices
- Sabretooth9

Doesn’t necessarily mean they’re out of shape, could just mean that Lindy put them through the ringer on day 1.

Lines at day 1 of camp mean absolutely zero
- DirtyDan

Absolutely they do. Lindy put him on the 4th line, he will be a 4th liner FO-EVA!

I kid. I know. Just isn't what you want to see from their big acquisition early.

Man there are a bunch of midgets in that list. A couple 5'7" guys.
Go Sabres
- IonSabres

Right in Adams' wheelhouse.

Here's to hoping he's not part of the "process" by that point. We have an NHL caliber coach, time to hire an NHL caliber GM.

Question folks, would you take Murray or Botts back if it meant you got rid of Adams?

I only ask as I think I would, and I'm not a fan of either.

- QuinnFan

Maybe it’s a pecking order thing?

Krebs getting the 1st look as a returning Sabre over the new guy?

Adams is nowhere near the hot seat Baller imo

Unless they promoted ruff to coach and gm

There’s always a next month
- Boss34

Just pour the acid in my eyes. I no longer wish to see.

If Granato was still here, I'd say yes. With Lindy...who flippin knows.

hire this guy to be our blogger

- QuinnFan

That’s a good point

Those guys will probably be interchangeable during the season at 3c and 4c .

Krebs could be the healthy scratch as well imo

Today he’s 3c

- Ratsreign

Difference in being in shape and being in game shape.

I don't think it's random to them.
- Lunaion

So Power is a healthy scratch then and we should expect that going forward?

- Boss34

Yeah, could be just testing right now. Krebs, McLeod and Lafferty may play musical chairs for a while.

You think that had nothing to do with Dahlin?

terry looks old

Dude, that is a dog there.

That whole bottom 6 could minus Zucker. I doubt they take out their best defensive player and best faceoff man McLeod either.

- DirtyDan

McLeod may not see the pine until he's surpassed by prospects (hopefully). But he could definitely see time on the 4th line, trying to be good at what he's good at...defense. Fair?

What line was the $7m in cap space playing on
- Hank Balling

Sitting next to Adams

Well if McLeod is on line 4, I am glad I gave up Savoie for a 4th line plug! Yeah Baby. Just up the Sabres alley.

LINES: today

Forwards:

Peterka – Thompson – Tuch
Benson – Cozens – Quinn
Greenway – Krebs – Zucker
Aube-Kubel – McLeod – Lafferty
Malenstyn – Kulich

Defense:

Byram – Jokiharju
Samuelsson – Clifton
Bryson – Gilbert
Power

Goalies:

Luukkonen
Levi

few takes

krebs on line 3
benson on line 2
power and dahlin pairing?
- homiedclown

That 3rd line is ugly

Yeah, could be just testing right now. Krebs, McLeod and Lafferty may play musical chairs for a while.
- QuinnFan

It's Duck Duck Goose in the Sabres Hierarchy!

- QuinnFan

Why would he see the bench? He’s better than Krebs.

You think that had nothing to do with Dahlin?
- Lunaion

I’m not out here saying everything is awful after 1 practice…..

Adams is nowhere near the hot seat Baller imo

Unless they promoted ruff to coach and gm

- Boss34

If they are out of it at Thanksgiving, he's fired.

Not predicting that or anything, but his seat is unquestionably hot.

Don't think anyone is, but what does that have to do with lines?

- Buff36

Played some great hockey next to a top 5 player... metrics were better away from said top 5 player but somehow he's a 4th liner in Buffalo
