Mustache of God

Jagr with another point. Dude is a freakin' legend.

I'm spending more time watching the Pens Toronto (tied 2-2) game than I am this one. It's a world of difference.

Soft, soft goal on Lehner.

I think I read he's a local boy from West Seneca.

Eichel looking like a turn over machine tonight. Eeeesh.

I think the real solution is to trade Sam for wingers to complement E.Rod on the 3rd line.

Expanding on that, our supposed #1 line, when healthy, has been Okposo, ROR, and some 4th liner anchoring it down (Bailey, Carrier, etc). How about Okposo, Eichel - ROR? and then fill out the other lines with Sam at 2C? I think our biggest problem this year is our "#1" line was never an actual threat. I blame that on Bylsma.

Put ROR on Jacks. Put Reinhart as the 2C. Don't trade either.

This is my vote for post of the year. :worthy:

I'm not so sure about that. Breaking into a new decade really creates a temporal barrier for me which makes it feel like an eternity away. I still feel like it's 2015 for some reason.

My first impression was "this could be a trade that really benefits both teams" but I didn't realize RNH is making 6 mil a year into the roaring 20's. I do believe that if BOGO was moved there he would do really well there, however, I can't say the same for RNH in Buffalo, he'd just be another terrible unmovable contract weighing us down. Sink 6 million a year through 20-21 into a winger whose trending downwards so we can get rid of a 5.142 million a year D man through 19-20 whose also trending downwards but would probably look great on a different team? No thank you.

It's statistically impossible for Buffalo to win the lottery due to cosmic reasons of a higher, crueler nature. This is not a nightmare. This is real life and you will never wake up.

Jeeezus, how do you give up a near breakaway to a team that had iced the puck 3 times. How f'n slow is our d?

I agree. At the start of the 2nd period the color commentator actually asked if Robin Lehner pulled himself.

The overhaul that needs to happen is the coach. I think all of our UFAs will not be back so we can say goodbye to Gionta, Kulikov and Fransen I'm hoping we lose Ennis or Moulson to Vegas and DLO gets buried in the AHL. Kane isn't going anywhere. Anitpin and Guhle join the team Our number 1 pick this year is being dealt along with Girgensons or god-willing, Bogosian in return for a top 4- dman Ullmark replaces Nielson Here's how I can see the lines looking like with new additions bolded (as in guys who aren't on the team right now or played the majority of the season). Forwards: Okposo - ROR - Kane Foligno - Eichel - Reinhart Smith/Baily - Larsson - Fasching Carrier - E-Rod - Moulson xx Baily or DLO Defense: Risto - McCabe Antipin - Acquisition for our 1st round pick package Guhle - Bogo 7th man: Gorges Goal: Lehner - Ullmark That's about 7 "new" faces of our 23 man roster, ~30% overhaul.

The difference is a butt goal and legwand scoring from his own blue line.

This is the only MUST WIN game of the season for us tonight. Why? Because a loss tonight will start a Toronto tail spin in which we will see them lose their playoff spot to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Here's my dream scenario: Leafs lose tonight, and tomorrow against the Caps. Tampa beats the Bruins tomorrow. With 79 games played, Tampa will be one point back on Toronto and they meet Thursday night for a SHOWDOWN that Tampa wins. Toronto then closes their season with losses to Pittsburgh and Columbus, falling out of the playoffs by Tampa. It all starts today in Buffalo. Go Sabres.

Lines I hope to see tonight: Kane - ROR - Ennis Nylander- Eichel - Foligno CJ Smith - Reinhart - Gionta Carrier - Girgensons - Moulson Rodriguez and D-Lo scratched.

Damn I fell for this hard. Too real, man, too real. Damn I fell for this hard. Too real, man, too real. Damn I fell for this hard. Too real, man, too real. Damn I fell for this hard. Too real, man, too real.

You must have missed Foligno's laser last night /s.

FYI this game is being streamed for free via twitter for anyone out of market who doesn't pay for center ice. I imagine this link will go live sometime before the game: https://twitter.com/i/live/808446970830327808

I voted C but was pleasantly surprised with the correct answer. Good stuff right there and nice write up! Hoping to see Jack match and or eclipse his point total from last year tonight.

Eeeshh...this game has almost no implications, hard to find much to care about. It's the Free Game of the day on yahoo.com for out of marketers looking for quality streams. I hope the Sabres draw a lot of penalties and Eichel keeps racking up points and giving RJ something to scream about.

Anyone know if Jagr is going to be in the line-up tonight? I know he left the last game with an injury.

My first thought of seeing the group photo posted in the last GDT was "there's a lot less hefty neckbearded types here than I expected."
