WildCard Posted February 6, 2016 Report Posted February 6, 2016 Beat me once, shame on me. Beat me twice, and I put that little ###### rat through the glass. Your Buffalo Sabres will be looking for revenge like you do against the ass-head in the office who wears his Pats jersey and spoons with a Brady fathead in his mom's basement. A game, you think this is a game? No, this is personal. Boston is the guy who eats out of the peanut butter jar with his fingers; the guy who takes your company parking spot; the girl who eats from your plate when she insisted she wasn't hungry; the guy who doesn't smokes but will always bum one off you; that dude in the circle who didn't throw down but wants in; slow walking, close talking, mouth breathing neanderthal who's idea of an argument is to simply yell louder than you. Boston's the girl that gets mad at you for holding the door, then yells out you about chivalry; the guy who claims no chicks like him, then rocks a gem-studded douchebag vest out to the bars where he brags about the chicks he's banged. That guy that one ups every story you have; the interrupter; the complainer; and that oh so special princess who says "If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best". Simply put, Boston is everything you hate in life. The Sabres, our burgeoning hero who rises from the ashes to put our city back on the map, will look to make a statement to the NHL that we are no longer the red-headed step-child of the league (Sorry bio, I'm a ginger too though. Well, 1/2). Coming off a heart-breaking 3-2 SO loss against Boston on Thursday night, one that saw the best and worst of Chad Johnson, and the worst of Dan Byslma, the Sabres will look to avenge their loss and continue the playoff push by making ground against a divisional opponent and a WC contender. Buffalo is much, much better on the road. Boston sits at 11-13-3 at home, and the Sabres are 12-11-2 on the road. Considering the away team has one each contest so far, I'll expect a Sabres win, and a better showing by DD. Look for Lehner and Rask to get the starts. Marcus Foligno is out with a LBI, and Daniel Cat-nasty will make his pro-debut.

darksabre Posted February 6, 2016 Report Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) I don't know who started Cat-Nasty as a nickname for lil Danny, but it was crap on day one and it's still crap now. Edited February 6, 2016 by d4rksabre Quote
nfreeman Posted February 6, 2016 Report Posted February 6, 2016 Some of these are GD near poetic. Well done, sir. Quote
K-9 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Posted February 6, 2016 You had me at "spoons with a Brady fathead." Great stuff. As to the game, we need ROR to return to form and I think he does tonight. GO SABRES!!! Quote
pi2000 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Posted February 6, 2016 Great preview WC. Moulson will score tonight... confirmed. Quote
... Posted February 6, 2016 Report Posted February 6, 2016 "Bylsma thinks long and hard about everything that goes on during a game. He said, 'I critique myself for the choices I make. I put the guys out there, but we watch a lot in practice which dictates who we go to with what we see in practice.'" ~ WGR 550 (full article here) Sure Dan. Based on what you're saying here in this here article, it occurs to me you need to work on two things: making your practices such so that they translate to games, and your ability to critique yourself. Thanks! Quote

qwksndmonster Posted February 6, 2016 Report Posted February 6, 2016 Great preview WC. Moulson will score tonight... confirmed. What happened to his hatty? Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 6, 2016 Report Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) What happened to his hatty? Harry grabbed it and ran off to the Cheers thread. :oops: Forgot ... go out and run those chowder heads. A home coming game for Eich ... a 3 pointer for him I think ... 2G and 1A. GO SABRES!!

TrueBlueGED Posted February 6, 2016 Report Posted February 6, 2016 This might be the best open of the year. Boston! Quote
woods-racer Posted February 6, 2016 Report Posted February 6, 2016 ****** red-headed step-child of the league (Sorry bio, I'm a ginger too though. Well, 1/2). ****** So, your 1/2 of the ginger is it cuff's or collar? :P Your GDTs have sprouted and are beginning to blossom into more than I am worthy of! :worthy: Go Sabres! Quote
JujuFish Posted February 6, 2016 Report Posted February 6, 2016 I don't see a blue moon out there?? Larsson scores tonight... If Moulson actually scored on the next blue moon, it'd be great, because that would mean the team is probably in the Eastern Conference finals. (The next blue moon is May 21.) Quote
Stoner Posted February 6, 2016 Report Posted February 6, 2016 I hate the Flyers more than I hate the Bruins. In fact, I think I hate the Wings more than I hate the Bruins. Sorry, I can't muster that much hate for the Bruins (anymore). Brad May kind of healed me, allowed me to move on with love in my heart. The hate seems a little shallow when you're down and the team you're hating doesn't have fans that hate your team back. It's like how half the world hates America, but we hardly know they exist.

dudacek Posted February 6, 2016 Report Posted February 6, 2016 It's like how half the world hates America, but we hardly know they exist. Canada is not half the world. Quote

pi2000 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Posted February 6, 2016 After tonight Buffalo could be in 30th or 25th or anywhere in-between. Quote
Hoss Posted February 6, 2016 Report Posted February 6, 2016 Technically can't be 30th as Columbus doesn't play and will still hold the games played tiebreaker for 30th regardless. Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Posted February 6, 2016 You guys and your last place semantics..... Smh ;) Quote
nfreeman Posted February 6, 2016 Report Posted February 6, 2016 I'd like to see Lehner make a bid for "unquestioned #1" status tonight. Quote
