GDT: San Jose @ Buffalo, 7:00 pm est, 11/14/2015

[Jsixspd]

The Sharks won last night against Detroit, but I'd put that onto a poor game by Jimmy Howard playing back-up in net as opposed to the Sharks' playing well - the Sharks only made 14 shots in the game - and somehow Howard let 3 of them in.  

IF they only manage 14 or 15 shots against the Sabres, the Sabres win.

My wife the Wings fan couldn't wait to get rid of Babcock; next on her list is Jimmy Howard.  His best days are behind him.

I remember looking up stats for this a number of years ago and there didn't seem to be anything to it, at least in the Sabres' case.

Not to be a buzzkill, but why am I always leery of that first home game coming off a road trip?

 

GO BILLS!!!

Not to be a buzzkill, but I am always leery of any outcome involving all Buffalo sports teams.

I have 1 ticket available for tonight's game, gratis - sec 105, row 11. I have a pair and I am in town, will be using 1 ticket.

 

Please PM me if interested, first come/first serve. I will update the Board once it has been claimed.

 

Neo, you there ..?    :flirt:

Well we officially have a goalie rotation. Is there any doubt that it's Lehner's job?

Yoooouuuuurrrrrrr Buffalo Sabres entertain the San Jose Sharks tonight in a Saturday night showdown. The Sabres will look to extend their winning streak to 4 consecutive games, and improve on their recent stretch of going 6-2 overall, including winning 4/5. With Gionta scoring in Florida, and Reinhart showing he belongs on the pp, the Sabres are firing on all lines right now and are starting to look like a dangerous team in the EC. Linus Ullmark was, again, brilliant, stopping 36/38 shots in Florida Thursday night, one with his face. Cody Franson looks to extend his point/goal streak to 3 games as well, and the Sabres will be anxious to get over the .500 hump.

 

 

 

 

 

The Sharks meanwhile, have hit quite the rough patch ever since Couture has gone out with an ankle injury (won't be back until November 22nd). Going 4-6 in their last 10 and coming off a 3-2 win in Detroit Friday night, SJ will look to forget the swirling rumors surrounding their leader Patrick Marleau. The Sharks are an extremely beatable team, though they do hold a 5-3 road record. Martin Jones got the start last nigh, so perhaps with back-to-backs the backup, Alex Stalock, will get the start tonight (1-3, .894%)

 

Look for Linus Ullmark to again get the nod tonight, and the same Sabres lineup to be present. No Bogo yet, but we're getting closer.

A drunk WC GDT is still good. Just not perfect.

I wish every NHL game could look this good from a uniform standpoint.

[Sabel79]

The San Jose whites are really, really nice.

If we go back to royal blue like we should, I could agree even more.

 

GO SABRES!!!

Risto is second on the team in scoring! Wow, I missed that one.

God , let's hope Chad does the job well tonight!

 

He switches up the Goalies alot, DB. Looks to be a solid plan so far, just hope it wont bring the first loss against 

sharks since 2005.
