I couldn't tell you the last time I started a GDT, but game 81 is as good a time as any.

 

A Buffalo win tonight and a Washington loss to Florida will put us in 8th with a two point lead and one game remaining.

 

Tyler Myers and Christian Ehrhoff out of the lineup is detrimental to put it mildly. This game will require defensive effort from all players, not just Leo and Sulzer.

 

We look to Foligno to continue his hot streak, and for our stars to bring us the scoring we need. All eyes on Derek Roy, Thomas Vanek, and Jason Pominville.

 

Philly is weak in net. Strike quick and often and we will be one step closer to achieving the improbable.

 

I believe.

 

Have a little faith baby, have a little faith.

My buddy just emailed me from Boston saying Chara and company are resting tonight. Why would they not rest on Saturday? Oh well, time to show up Sabes!

 

Ugh. It would be so "Bruins" to play those guys Saturday.

Myers and the Hoff our big pieces on our D. However, the entire second half of the season the team plays well and goes on a run when I've counted them out. The Rangers are good but I think we'd have a fighting chance atleast getting Christian back for that. In short, let's just get the win!

I will protect our Foligno and allow him to play incredibly yet again, I havent been washed since our hot streak started I will give us all the luck we need!!!!!

 

Not washing is fine, but some sort of antiseptic should be applied. We cannot afford a staph infection to Foligno's staff.

It's very important the Sabres don't get complacent tonight. In their last ten games, the flyers have given up the first goal eight times. and in seven of those eight games, they've given up the first two or more goals.

Point being, get pucks on net.

Score a couple, then shut the Flyers out.

 

It's not pretty hockey, but at this point, I couldn't care less about that. The Sabres can take this one if they stick to the game plan for 60 minutes, that's all it takes.

Get it done lads.

This season alone, we've turned a 3-0 lead against the Flyers into a 5-4 loss and a 2-0 lead into a 7-2 loss. Get a lead and keep attacking.

Not to imply that Sulzer actually put in a defensive effort last game. ;)

I wish I felt confident about this game. But between the awful D they played in 2 games vs the Leafs, 1 of the worst teams in the league, and the absence of Myers and Ehrhoff, and their propensity to gladly accept and rely on built-in excuses, it's hard to be optimistic.

 

But that's why they play the games, innit?

 

The Sabres really, really, need Miller to be sharp tonight.

 

I'd also like to see the defensemen and the backchecking forwards pick a Flyer and tie him up near the net, as opposed to hanging back and watching while he stuffs home a rebound.

 

Go Sabres.

 

Also: I hate the Flyers.

Both teams will be missing some big players tonight, and both have not been playing their best the last few games. Miller will be the key to the game. If he can make up for the weaker Sabres defence tonight, and the forwards aren't intimidated by having to face Bob in net, they can win.

 

Sometimes teams just struggle and look worse against certain teams (no matter where they are in the standings), and the leafs seem to be one that recently the Sabres haven't been able to dominate like in the past. If you watched closely how the Leafs played in front of Scrivens, they were really trying to protect him throughout the game and had atleast 3-4 players on the ice that would just bunch up in front of him and try and keep him from facing shots directly. Very rarely did they let a Sabres player just hang out in front of the net, unlike the Sabres D that would almost invite and escort the Leafs forward in front of the net, and at a few points I swear one of the D may have asked the Leafs player if they were comfortable and wanted a snack or a drink
