Sharpen Up: All the Sabres news you need to know on December 5, 2019 The Buffalo Sabres kick off a three-game road trip tonight. They'll face the Calgary Flames at 9 p.m. on MSG and WGR 550. Pregame coverage begins on MSG at 8:30. Here's what you need to know. Buffalo is 13-6-3 against the Pacific Division since the beginning of last season, including a 3-0-2 record in their last five games. The Sabres and Flames have had five of their last seven games decided by an overtime goal, including each of the last three meetings in Calgary. With a Sabres win tonight, Buffalo and Calgary will have split their season series for six consecutive seasons. Jack Eichel enters today's game on a 10-game point streak that began on Nov. 16. He has recorded 19 points (9+10) during the league's longest active streak. Eichel has recorded at least one assist in each of the last eight games. With an assist tonight, he'd tie the longest assist streak of his career, set from Feb. 14 to March 4, 2017. This is the second of two meetings between the Sabres and Flames this season. Last meeting: Calgary defeated Buffalo 3-2 (OT) in Buffalo on Nov. 27 The Sabres are 4-3-3 in their last 10 games vs. the Flames; 3-6-1 on the road. Rasmus Ristolainen (1+2) and Brandon Montour (0+3) each enter the game with points in three straight contests. With points tonight, Montour would tie his longest career point streak, set from Nov. 18 to 25, 2018 (1+5), and Ristolainen would set a new season best. Victor Olofsson has recorded points in 11 of his last 13 games (5+7).

Had to look it up lol. Yes, the Sabres used to use it. Meh. I find that song (or the portion they used) no better, no worse than the current one. They are both blah IMO.

They are keeping Hutton this season. No need to trade him now. He’s on a very very friendly contract. Is there another goaltending duo cheaper than the Sabres? How about a team with a cheaper duo that has a record “as good as” or better than the Sabres?

I know. That’s what I said. It’s for WBEN. As a comparison to WGR. I just posted it just so we can compare the two Buffalo stations. That’s all. ??

Now compare that to WBEN 930 day ... https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=WBEN&service=AM&h=D night ... https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=WBEN&service=AM&h=N interesting difference ...

You lost me there ... I’m not following.

Stuck? No. He can be called up to Roch. This may be an unpopular opinion but I wouldn’t call him up to Buffalo until next season at the very least. Let him gain experience and confidence all season in the lower leagues. Next season he’s the full time starter for Roch. with a couple call ups to Buffalo. In 21-22, he backs up Ullmark. After that ... we’ll see where he’s at.

Although some fans hate the Sabres goal song ... first, there are much worse. Second, prior goal songs for the Sabres were much worse than the current one. I’m surprised no one has posted just as bad or worse songs than the Leafs current one.

Here you go... compare the two ... https://mobile.twitter.com/BradyTrett/status/1199144976535343104?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fd-683300442800521964.ampproject.net%2F1911191835190%2Fframe.html side question for those who are knowledgable about Twitter. Is there a way to imbed twitter videos if you do not have a twitter account? If so, explain please.

Yea. That’s an odd choice. Very odd. Now the question is ... is there/was there, a worse goal song for an NHL team?

Not sure if you’re serious, so I’m only taking the question as if you were... quick google search ...

I’ve always hated the “tickets sold” number they announce. It’s such a farce. It’s always gonna be 15,000+ because there are over 15,000 season ticket holders. Those are bought and paid for before opening night. I know it’ll never change, but it would be nice if they reported the number of tickets scanned at the entrance. Not the tickets sold.

I personally won’t get all caught up on and “depend” on Cozens being an effective 2nd line center (if he even develops that well) until 3-4 years after he makes the team full time. In the meantime, we need either Johansson to be that guy, or trade for one. But it’ll be costly. *if he even develops that well* ... means although I anticipate and hope he develops that well, I’m not convinced it will happen, until it actually happens. The Sabres need to trade with a worst case scenario in mind. Not hopes that a 18-19 year old will step in and fill a huge role right away. Develop develop develop.

Like THAT’S gonna solve their issues....

Meh. Need vs Want. I’m not gonna confuse the two.

He has been cursed with the worst hair for a ginger. Thanks to his mom. I think he should just go full on shaved down for battle! Not much he could do with that hair that would make it look good… his hair reminds me of the Simply Red singer

That’s why +/- is such a lame stat. Eichel, and VO go off for a change. Reinhart is 10 ft. from the bench about to get off as his replacement is about to jump over the boards. A goal against is scored. Well, that’s one for the - column. Such an inaccurate lame outdated stat. Especially so if they players +/- is under 10. Now if the stat is getting above/below 10 or 15, ok then I can see there is enough gap to surmise a logical opinion on the players or lines performance. Another stupid stat or observation I dislike is “on pace”. It almost never ends up close to the “on pace” supporters spew. Last year i remember reading ZOMG Eichel is on pace for 110 points! Fast forward to April and he gets 82. ? it’s like some people don’t take into account slumps and injuries. as well as Eichel (as an example) is playing I bet he ends up with somewhere in the neighborhood of 82-92 points. Which, (let’s not confuse my stance), would be great! i know it’s off topic talking about Eichel. But it was based on the +/- stat and I kinda morphed it to a larger issue ?

I wouldn’t want him back full time. But if he did like 9 other games this season or every home game that falls on a Monday thru Thursday or something like that. That would be a nice treat.

On Eichels goal where he was left all alone ... Reinhart drew the defender to him along the side of the net which left Eichel all alone in front. On Jokers goal, Reinhart kept it in by feeding it to Eichel down low along the boards. Then Eichel throws it in front where it eventually finds Joker. Nice big plays that at first glance look like little nothing plays to those who only point watch.

Looking at MoJo and Reinhart point totals compared to prior seasons up to Dec 2nd .... Yea, I’m not the least bit worried about either.... at all.

I would love Simmonds. But my reservations lay in the fact that he’s sooo not what he was when he was in Philly. He seems to be declining. A lot.

I was thinking the same thing! It’s quite odd actually. It’s ok though. He still looks good tonight.
