So if, like, between now and Wednesday, if they decide to call-up like Mancari or whoevs to help fill in for TV, how will this work?
The Pirates are already in Buffalo as I type, taking the ice for a practice at 11:00am and the Sabres will practice after. Both teams are playing in HSBC Arena on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.
Sooooooooo the Pirates have like no defensemen, could we, like, loan them Butler and Weber for Tuesday and then miraculously recall them and Mancari or Gerbe or whoevs on Wednesday morning? I guess so? Will they call them up earlier than that? That would royally screw the Pirates who are already shorthanded and its not like they have travel time to worry about what with getting from HSBC Arena to... HSBC Arena (and not the one in Brazil either).
I'm assuming we won't loan them our defensemen on the off chance they get hurt, but this Mancari/Gerbe/Kennedy situation intrigues me...
This is why the Flyers and Maple Leafs have the right idea, having their AHL team in the same city, the possibilities are ENDLESS.

We could technically send them back "down" to Portland any time now, I suppose, and just call them back "up" as soon as the final buzzer sounds tomorrow. That'd work, right? I mean, they wouldn't have far to go, depending on how far the locker room they're using is from the Sabres' locker room...
ReplyDeleteI kinda wish that, back in the day when the arena opened, the Sabres had brought the Americans to Buffalo to play in the Aud. It would've been so much simpler...
My brain is boggled after reading this post, I'll be totally honest.
