Short Shift: End of the Preseason

In this short shift episode of Expected Buffalo, I dive into the conclusion of the Sabres' preseason, focusing primarily on the injuries that have impacted the team as we approach the regular season.The goaltending situation is particularly pressing, with Alex Lyon and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen both injured, leaving Colten Ellis as the only healthy goaltender. I discuss the implications and Ellis' potential to take on a starting role as the season begins. Although he didn't get a start in the preseason, I was impressed with Ellis' performance when he stepped in, noting his calm, confident presence in the crease.Additionally, I touch on the Sabres' recent signing of veteran defenseman Matt Grzelcyk and the team's roster decisions as they prepare for the regular season. With roster announcements due soon, I speculate on who might end up on injured reserve and how that will affect the lineup.As we gear up for the NHL season, I express my excitement for the upcoming games and encourage listeners to subscribe to Expected Buffalo for more content. I also highlight our goal of reaching 1,000 subscribers on YouTube before the season starts, emphasizing the community's support in achieving this milestone.00:12 - Preseason Wrap-Up and Injury Overview01:46 - Goaltending Injury Concerns06:40 - Roster Decisions and Waivers10:02 - Jiri Kulich's SituationSponsors: We Sew It Buffalo | Richmond Vona
