Rox11 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 Watching this one with nothing but Bruins fans - all good fun. I always hope for a clean game, but if Marchand gets leveled and DOESN'T return, that will make my day Boston's last home game, hoping Hackett gets a W, I like the kid. Quote
Jsixspd Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 Boston still needs a win to clinch the President's Trophy - Anaheim's 3 points behind, and they both have 2 games to play. That means they're not gonna be taking it easy today, I predict the Bruins will be playing like they mean it. Quote
North Buffalo Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 Wish Konopka was switched for Conacher against the Bruins. I think the Sabres need the toughness. Quote
LaLaLaFontaine Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 I wish we hurt them really bad. Run Rask so he is concussed until end of playoffs. Let them taste something from their own medicine. Send Erikson and Marchand out on stretchers too. Ok it feels good to write stuff which never will happen. I hope we loose with some honor and do not get slaughtered. Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 Run rask with gerbe..... I mean, conacher..... I mean Ennis..... I mean dags.... I mean..... Oh wait, they're basically the same. We play tough against Boston typically, however I believe the sabres have all but mailed it in... I wouldn't be surprised if Hackett leaves injured tonight and Leino goes on IR with a hang nail..... Don't poke the beahhr Quote
wjag Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 Sabres prevail.. no doubt in my mind.. Boston will spend a bunch of time in the box. Quote
Mustache of God Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 Scott scratched? Wasn't the point of signing Scott to have him around to play teams like Boston? Last time I checked Boston is a team like Boston. Quote
Eleven Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 Scott scratched? Wasn't the point of signing Scott to have him around to play teams like Boston? Last time I checked Boston is a team like Boston. Konopka, too. Quote
nucci Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 Scott scratched? Wasn't the point of signing Scott to have him around to play teams like Boston? Last time I checked Boston is a team like Boston. Not what Nolan wants. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 Second to last GDT. That in itself is sad, since we won't be treated to the threads made famous by 26CB ... we are not worthy. Anyway, with last place firmly in the bag and a top 2 draft pick secured ... I so want the Sabres to chow down on some bear tonight. Beat the chowder heads badly and that will be this teams, this seasons, cup. GO SABRES!! Quote

bunomatic Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 It'll be interesting how many Sabres the bruins take liberties with and get away with no response from the sabres and officials/league. Really its all become so predictable . Man up ladies. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 By then, it will be to late. :oops: A nooner .......... That will teach me for skimming 26CB's great efforts. It's tax season and working long hours, CRA filing site still in the craper ... ... ... That's my story and I'm sticking with it. Quote

Eleven Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 John Vogl @BuffNewsVogl 1m One day closer to a goal-less season for the Sabres' Ville Leino. He's a healthy scratch against Bruins today. Maybe one of the tough guys gets in after all. Quote
26CornerBlitz Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Posted April 12, 2014 @BuffaloSabres Ted Nolan says a few changes to today's lineup are coming. John Scott is in for Ville Leino. Will mix up some of the lines. #sabres -CR Quote

Jsixspd Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 Thank the baby jesus. haha!!!! Not having Scott playing Boston would have been a huge "WTF?" And we're only 1 game away from that $1000 prize being awarded by Trending Buffalo. I promise if I win it, I'll spend it on a Sabrespace party at one of the bars and taverns in downtown Buffalo.

Will mix up some of the lines. #sabres -CR I think it's safe to say we've seen the last of Ville Leino playing in a Sabres uniform. It's clear they don't want him getting injured by the seasons end. I wish the buyout included some sort of public flogging, it's almost criminal he gets to walk away with all that money. That man is set for life and all he had to do was get fired from his job. Quote
