I had the huge pleasure to speak with the cast of "Shoresy" recently to talk about hockey, their own histories in hockey, getting back into arenas with the Shoresy Classic and what the beauty of being beauties on one of the best shows on TV is like

Or maybe it was Zetterlund? Ah whatever man

A big shot from the blue line by Jordan Spence gets tipped by Tim Stützle and past Alex Lyon. A big ole clapper by the former King helps get this game tied 1-1

Not only do the Sabres kill off Bryson's penalty, they get a shorthanded shot off the post by Tuch at the end of it

The Sabres killed off the Johnson penalty and now his defense parter Jacob Bryson puts a puck out of play from the D zone so he'll sit for two or less

The Sens will try to get their peeper going -- Ryan Johnson off for interference. Penalties are never conveniently timed, but this one is less so considering the Sabres *just* got the lead

It ain't gotta look pretty - it's just got to go in.

A shot from the slot by Jack Quinn goes high off the glass, comes right back out and off of Meriläinen and into the net.

It's a power play goal and a 1-0 Sabres lead

Can confirm upon closer examination - these are very good. The gold trim on the pants helps really tie it all together too

Rate these new /Senators uni's. 🤩

A hold by Fabian Zetterlund will give the Sabres the chance to get off the schneid on the power play (0-for-11 this season)
joeyerdon.bsky.social
if that happened there'd probably be a few other stories ready to drop too

A Dylan Ovechtrick would be a fun story

I hope the Senators score 9 and Cozens has a hat trick. Maybe it will wake Pegula up out of his nap.

Senators wearing their new alternate red jerseys tonight, Sabres in the road whites which used to be home whites but aren't anymore because life is pain

It's warmups time in Buffalo. It's Alex Lyon and Leevi Meriläinen leading their teams to the ice.

As if tonight's game couldn't be spicier, Justin Kea is one of tonight's referees.
joeyerdon.bsky.social
is this you or the team
joeyerdon.bsky.social
If you're ready then I ain't yellin'!

If you're wondering, goalie Alexandar Georgiev practiced w/the Rochester Amerks today.

It'll be Leevi Meriläinen for the Senators in goal tonight. Alex Lyon is the presumed starter for Buffalo since he was in the starter's net this morning

Lindy Ruff says Zach Benson will play tonight. He also added that Jiri Kulich will play, too, after initially being elusive about lineup choices. Ruff said he wants to see how Kulich responds to the warning shot in practice yesterday of playing on a line with scratches.

We’re expecting Benson to play tonight but Lindy Ruff will likely let us know in a little while.

Appears we have an optional. Twelve skaters, three goalies. Greenway, Benson and Luukkonen participating.
