A loss tonight would set a franchise record for consecutive road defeats; need to keep that from happening and string some wins together, boys!

Time to see if the lovefest during the Olympics was for real or if Drury runs Miller ala Gomez style.

 

Let's Go Buffalo!

Has Drury ever run a goalie Gomez style?

Really? Wow.

The Sabres have lost 8 roadies in a row, although we got some loser points in there. 9 losses in a row would be a franchise record? I would have thought it would be more than that. I don't think the streak should count against the years they didn't get loser points. But they better find their road touch, they've got a whack of games coming up on the road and so does Ottawa. Whoever fairs better will finish ahead.

 

Must win today

Write it down. 8 goals for Mancari tonight.

 

What?!

 

OK I have a crazy prediction then. The game will be delayed 31 minutes when a crazed Ranger fan steals Sam Rosen's hairpiece and throws it on the ice. No one will want to pick it up, and Rick MacLeish will have to be brought in. Good thing he's in town!

I don't think it's crazy. That kind of thing happens at least 3 times a year.

Early lineup has Mancari with Vanek and Roy.

 

Lines, per Mike Harrington-

 

Vanek - Roy - Mancari

Hecht - Connolly - Pommer

Torres - Mair - Grier

Kaleta - Kennedy - Ellis

 

Butler once again sitting.

If it were me I would have swapped Hecht with Torres

But Mike isn't the coach. I've been burned too many times by this kind of morning skate reporting. We'll see how they line up under the big top at 7:30. Edit: or at 7.

It's not like the planned lines matter anyways. It'll be different by the 10 minute mark of the 1st.

Lindy usually waits until a little later, but you're right. I don't understand in a league full of paranoid coaches why they'd put their starting lineup on the ice in the morning skate.

I would assume it's for the sake of making sure the lines are sorted properly and clicking. I mean, how many teams in this league don't have their lines set in stone anyways? We probably mix ours up more than anyone on the sheer fact that there is no chemistry on the top end. At least none that is consistent.

Just for sh*ts and giggles, who wants to count scoring chances tonight? Might be interesting to compare each other's figures and MSG's count.

Posted

If it's not a total snoozefest I'll give it a shot.

 

It might be harder than it looks. I mean, if a point shot on a power play is tipped by Vanek five feet wide, is that a scoring chance?

I generally only count chances if they are on net.
