GDT NYR @ Buffalo, 7PM EST, 3/8/2016, TV: MSG+, MSGB

[MattPie]

I don't think I've ever started a GDT.

 

Wildcard didn't ask me to, he's got visions of figures, words, and diagrams dancing in his head for mid-terms. And not even good figures or diagrams. Buffalo comes home after a mildly chippy shoot-out win against the Marlies last night, looking to give the Rangers fits and cause Henrick to flip his net for some reason.

Odds are Lehner is in net for the back-to-back. Whether the Rangers will go Swede for Swede remains to be saw.

Thanks for the GDT.

 

I don't think Lundqvist even made the trip to Buffalo.

 

Per Rotoworld:

 

Henrik Lundqvist (neck) is hopeful to return this weekend.

He won't make the trip to Buffalo, but skated before practice on Monday. Lundqvist is making progress after sustaining neck spasms last Thursday versus Pittsburgh. Mar 7 - 1:36 PM

There's a reason I don't start GDTs, apparently. :)

He's obviously studying black magic to unleash on his professors. Those diagrams? Yea, voodoo dolls.

Without Lundqvist, this is winnable.  Go get it!

[Randall Flagg]

One goal will tie last year's goal total. Try to get it in the first, for a change.

[LGR4GM]

I dislike the Rangers. Hope Reinhart finally gets to center a line with Kane so Eichel can get back with Zemgus.

I liked the first line's chemistry last night, but am fully aware who they were playing against.

[clintwestwood]

Going to the game tonight. Actually have tickets for all the remaining home games. We haven't won a game yet this year that I've been at. I apologize in advance. 

[LTS]

A game I can watch!

 

Looking forward to it. I have respect for the Rangers.  I like them almost.  

 

Go Sabres... all day long.

[WildCard]

I can't wait to get hammered and watch this game tonight.

Only if you write up a hammered game summary after.

Last time I did that I made a metaphorical cheating wife in the name of Buffalo sports, not sure anyone wants to read that again  :lol:

[Beer]

Let's go Sabres!  No early goals against, please. :flirt:

[pi2000]

Sabres have a bunch of winnable games ahead of them.   This is not one of them.

good effin' point.

 

this is not a canadian team, though. so ....

[Sabres Fan in NS]

I don't really care much for the Rangers.

 

GO SABRES!!

Against one of their backups it is.  I think the Rags are perfectly mediocre without Lundqvist.

[Brawndo]

No morning skates for either team today.

 

Lehner vs Raanta in net.

 

Same lineup for the Sabres as last night.

[WildCard]

Pretty sure the Rags are missing more than Henrik for tonight.

Eric Staal and Nash both out too, though Nash has been for awhile

No Henrik, no Nash, apparently no Staal. I see a win for the Sabres tonight. 

[nfreeman]

For those so inclined, Yandle is worth scouting tonight as he's a person of interest in the upcoming UFA season.

 

My sense is that he's not a GMTM kinda guy, but I could be out to lunch on that.

[Randall Flagg]

I don't have the confidence that others do. When was the last time the Rangers didn't run us over?

Marc Staal out with the flu, can't find anything about Eric Staal being out.
