Buffalo: 10-2-3 in last 15

 

Montreal: 3-0-3 in last 6

 

Who is hot for the Sabres: rookie Marcus Foligno, with 7 points in his last 5 games; Jason Pominville, with 7 points in his last 7 games; Drew Stafford, with 9 points in his last 4 games; and Tyler Ennis, with 9 points in his last 5 games.

 

Ryan Miller 7-1-2 in his last 10 starts with a 2.15 GAA. Canadiens goalie Carey Price, meanwhile, is only 3-6-1 with a 2.77 GAA in his last 10.

Won't get to watch this one. Taking my dad to the 75th anniversary screening of "Casablanca".

 

Lets go BUFFALO!

 

 

ps. Ennis will get at least 3pts

I had a dream that we beat Tampa Bay 11-3...... So maybe those 4 missing goals show up in this game.

 

Buffalo wins 4-0... The D gets 3 of the goals in a strange game

Let's get the big win tonight against a very beatable opponent. Going to the game Saturday and I just wanted to matter.

No thanks, big wins for this team usually means they think they can take the next one off.

just win.

 

Excited to see the obligatory Myers fight. Hopefully it will end there and not result in continual silliness throughout the night. I don't expect too much nonsense, I think Cunneyworth is coaching for his job.

Under that theory we're going to lose tonight.....

We know Myers won't fight Gomez, because Gomez has been out with a concussion since the hit. Idk if Myers can throw punches due to his previous surgery. Should be a gritty game montreals new acquisition staubitz seems to go after everyone. 4-2 buffalo. Foligno, Vanek, ehrhoff and leino score

No, Tampa's been our rented mule for years past.

 

They don't figure in any Sabre-related superstitions, they just lose a lot :w00t:

No offense to the OP but with these GDT's can we get a home/away and time put on the title please. A game discussion tag and opponent city tag also. Makes for better searching later.

Does anyone on that team like Gomez enough to fight Myers? Not that Myers is intimidating - his one NHL "fight" was a tickle fight. I would love to see Myers just destroy a guy a la Playfair - he didn't fight often but when he did he wrecked people. If Myers were able to do that once in a while, teams would take him a little more seriously when he attempts to clear the crease.

I was expecting Myers to be given an award by the fans and team in montreal for hitting Gomez, thats how much they like him there

Cunneyworth is not coaching for his job, they had already decided he wasn't the permanent choice when he was give the job earlier this year. He is a place filler til the offseason when they can find a french speaking coach. He was never given a fair chance in Montreal to show he could do the job

Imo they're waiting for Tampa to jettison their coach so he can step right in.

 

GO SABRES !

I can just picture the want add for the coaching Job in montreal.

(Of course the following is in French though)

Speak French? Can you stand in skates while wearing a track suit? Well then we have a job for you! Apply with resume to the Bell Centre to be the Coach of the Montreal Canadians. Willing to train, no experience necessary with the game of hockey.....

 

Looks like Kaleta is out tonight. He's wearing the red no-contact jersey at the morning skate.

maybe he forgot his other practice jersey at home? :unsure:

Actually I'd guess they hate Myers for taking Gomez out of the lineup, since it makes their team better and they're trying to tank!

 

Honestly though I hope some players take runs at Myers. I was a little concerned with the suspension that he'd scale back the physical play he had been showing lately, but if guys are making runs at him it should prevent that from happening (if it was even going to in the first place). I'd personally take another suspension if it plants Subban's face firmly in the boards :P

Your are right about the first point, My girlfriends uncles a huge Habs fan and after they lost to the Leafs a few weeks ago he was proudly wearing his Canadians Sweater. When i asked him how he could be wearing it after losing to the Leafs, he said he was happy with the loss cause it puts them closer to getting the #1 overall pick!

 

As for Myers, my only problem is going to be that if he retaliates, it could get him another suspension cause Shanny might think he hasn't learned the lesson (He's not on a team thats allowed to hit)

My man Foligno has almost made me forget about my favorite prospect Kassian that we traded away. Ennis has officially become a future centerman for the buffalo sabres IMO. This has been great hockey these past couple weeks. Lets get it done!!

 

p.s. I don't think Myers will fight but rather someone else maybe, would love to see him step up and do it, but we are in a playoff race and can't afford to lose him if he gets hurt. So as much I would love to see him step up and fight, he shouldn't.
