kwalk Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Awesome. Didn't think I was going to get a chance to see it.
NowDoYouBelieve Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Tampa is something of a mystery to me and a statistical enigma. They somehow manage to have the conference's 3rd best record, and yet only have a goal differential of +2. So how much is luck playing into that? Not trying to take anything away from their accomplishments thus far, but at some point you start losing some of those 1 goal games. Atlanta and NYR continue to slump, both losing yesterday. A win here would be pretty big.
CallawaySabres Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Getting this game to OT would be fine with me although I certainly hope that is not THEIR mindset. This game could go soooooo far into getting them into playoff position with Florida and the Isles coming up. With new ownership, I hope everyone who was hoping this team would tank as low as possible is on board for the playoff push. COME OUT STRONG!!!! Miller, we want your Olympic performance for these big ones......
LET"S GO BUFFALO Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Florida has not been good to Buffalo in the past, this two game road trip can really change the season. Come out of Florida with 2 wins, the Sabres will be seen playing in late April, split the games we are still going to be battling to make the playoffs, if we lose both, time to round up draft picks.

Couldn't agree more. This is exactly how I feel about these upcoming games. Unfortunately, we haven't had much luck in Florida recently.
johnyvegas Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Sabres poised to match their longest win streak of the season. Woot!
BeeWhy5 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 I think Kaleta is back tonight. Has that been confirmed? Would like to see the boys get out early tonight and lock up Stamkos and the gang! LETS GO BUFFALO!!!
Oakstream Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 I think Kaleta is back tonight. Has that been confirmed? Would like to see the boys get out early tonight and lock up Stamkos and the gang! LETS GO BUFFALO!!! NHL.com says he's not, but I hope they are wrong. I really miss Kaletas game.
inkman Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Could the GDT starters do us exclusive phone posters a favor and include the teams in the post in addition to the sub-title area. We can't see it!!
R_Dudley Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 The beat goes on, we either give a beating or get one tonight in Tampa. Need the points more than the lightning if the Sabres are serious about a playoff push, show me game tonight boys. Let's go Buff 'a' low.
Robviously Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 The Lightning unveiled their new uniforms last week and I guess the new logo is already at center ice. It's a lightning bolt in a circle. So be on the lookout for that.
MattPie Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 What's the weather like there??? It's a shame Buffalo doesn't have a baseball team; our broadcast team could point out that it's 78 and mild humidity outside while Tampa is 93 and 80% humidity. Could the GDT starters do us exclusive phone posters a favor and include the teams in the post in addition to the sub-title area. We can't see it!! Or at least a date. I've noticed that when looking at the sabrespace front page and there's back to back games, they're both just GAME DISCUSSION THREAD.
Stoner Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 What's the weather like there??? Only in the 50s today. Ehhh, I'll take my 11 right now. Can't say 68 wouldn't feel good right about now.

Only one GDT should have the words "pinned" next to it. That'll b the current game.

We can't see it!! Consider it dun. FWIW, anyone can start a GDT, we'll pin it if we see it up. Try to use the same format so posters know whatswhat. No GDT's before midnight. Just bad karma.
Eleven Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Hope I mis-heard on the radio that TB has only lost 5 games at home.
Tom Backyard Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 You heard right. 5 regulation losses at home. Wow, St. Louis and Stamkos are averaging 20 minutes of ice time a game. St. Louis is getting 20:50 and Stamkos is skating for 20:02. It's going to take a lot of heads-up smart hockey to contain those two for 20 minutes +. Just for reference, Victor Hedman, their number 1 D-man is getting 21:13. Link
chileanseabass Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 The Lightning unveiled their new uniforms last week and I guess the new logo is already at center ice. It's a lightning bolt in a circle. So be on the lookout for that. Yeah, they unveiled the new unis and logo, and have placed the logo everywhere - center ice, tv broadcasts, play-by-play guy's shirt, gave the fans free t-shits with the new logo, and they even replaced the awnings the cover the path to the dressing room. Jerseys won't change until next year, but everything else is good as done.
Two or less Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Couple things- -Steve Montador OUT; Chris Butler IN per wgr -Steven Stamkos celebrated his 21st birthday yesterday, so maybe, just maybe he went out crazy last night and will be hungover tonight for the game? Doubt it, it just seems like something only our players would do. -Brian Engblom makes his debut "inbetween the benches" tonight on versus. When NBC took over versus operations, they are changing a lot of things, line putting a guy inbetween the benches, as they did last night with Pierre.
LET"S GO BUFFALO Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Buffalo has 3 Wins and 4 Losses this year in games following a win by 3 goals or more. That is not such a great stat, Buffalo has played Tampa relatively close this year with losses of 2-1 and 3-1. Buffalo needs to have that some quick strike mentality we saw in the Toronto game and we may be able to show old Rollie the Goalie why he use to be third string in the Queen City, from my recollection Dwayne struggles when he gets behind the 8-ball.

Tim Connolly probably went out crazy last night because it was Stamkos's birthday.
