Kyle Okpso is out
ROR might be out
Jack Eichel has a high ankle sprain and is out
Auston Matthews who the hockey sports media has fawned over for months just dropped a 4 goal opening night.
I see how it is hockey gods. Between skates in the crease, lost lotteries, all the injured the defenders, DR incompetence an 4 years of some of the most unwatchable crap hockey ever and you turn around and pull this? Well you know what, to hell with you.
Your Buffalo Sabres will take on the Montreal Candiens tonight at the Key Bank Arena to open the 2016 season. Carey Price is out. PK Subban in gone. Sam Reinhart is potentially our #1 center. I say we skate with them, I say we stay with, and I say we shut them down because we can. This is our time. Their time is done, it's over.
I'm sick and tired about hearing what a crappy team the Buffalo Sabres have. This is our time. So if the hockey gods won't help us, I say f##k you, we do it ourselves. Now let's go out there and take it.
Projected lineup:
Ennis-Reinhart-Kane
Moulson-Girgensons-Fasching
Foligno-Larsson-Gionta/
Des-Grant-Bailey?
Gorges Ristolainen McCabe Bogosian Kulikov Franson
