darksabre Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 If Buffalo wins tonight half their season total will have come in December.
Two or less Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 Winnipeg is a tough place for Buffalo to play. They have always given us a tough time when we play there since they returned to the NHL. In fact, we are 0-3-0 in our last 3 visits there, getting out scored 3-11.

Two or less Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 The Sabres have also had the one of the worst records in hockey since Winnipeg's return. True, but Winnipeg hasn't exactly been a powerhouse either since their return.
Eleven Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 Winnipeg is a tough place for Buffalo to play. They have always given us a tough time when we play there since they returned to the NHL. In fact, we are 0-3-0 in our last 3 visits there, getting out scored 3-11. That franchise gave the Sabres trouble even in Atlanta. It's the Biatchy-slav Koslov curse.
inkman Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 That franchise gave the Sabres trouble even in Atlanta. It's the Biatchy-slav Koslov curse. I'll never get tired of that nickname. I do like the Jets roster, surprised they aren't better. One or two offensive players might do it.

Gramps Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 Leino questionable ? Must have one of those dreaded UBIs from walking into a lightpost outside FNC with his head down ...
sicknfla Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 Leino questionable ? Must have one of those dreaded UBIs from walking into a lightpost outside FNC with his head down ... I just hope that we figure out a way to get rid of Leino and Stafford. Keeping these guys around just to help reach the cap floor would be a joke. I would rather sign Jim Puzzatelli ( or something like that) to a 1 year 8m deal.

dEnnis the Menace Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 Not gonna see this one, as I'll be at a B-Sens hockey game tonight as is tradition. (missed last years though). I think I read somewhere that Leino was still feeling sick with whatever bug was going around, so that's probably why he's scratched. He didn't practice after Washington IIRC. Hoping to close out 2013 with a W, just for sh!ts and giggles.
bunomatic Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 I'll miss the second half of this one. I'll be at the Korean Bar-b-cue house. I'm just grateful we're not eating at the North Korean Bar-b-cue house. I might starve. Hope to see a win to ring in the new year. As always, GO SABRES !
Derrico Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 I'll PVR this one and likely watch it tomorrow. Have a safe and Happy New Year everyone.

The kind where they have the grill built into the table? Those are great, although I'm not a big fan of wrapping the meat in the lettuce.

Iron Crotch Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 Hockey?! ...since my days of full-on New Years Eve debauchery are long behind, I'll probably watch this one. Might be a select few of us lamesters in the GDT this evening!
