WildCard Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) *Ahem* Yooooouuuuuuurrrrrrr Buuuuuffffffaaallllloooooooo Saaaabbbrrreesssss are reaaadddyyyy tooooo rumble!!!!! We're back in black baby, and ready for action. We've got ROR back, Jack Eichel scoring likes it's his ###### job (which it is), a wizard in Samson Reinhart on his wing, and Captain Insano in net. We. Are. Ready. To Rolllllllll!!!!. Your Buffalo Sabres are currently coming off a 3-2 OT loss, one in which punctuating just how salty the leagues mouth tastes when it comes to the Montreal Canadians, and are looking to come back with a statement win tonight against the divisional rival Ottawa Senators. The loss, however many 'bullshits' were involved, did indeed see the revival of the Sabres power play as ROR made a b-e-a-utiful sauce pass over to 'Bury One, Give One' (@LTS) Bogosian for a questionable goal to say the least. Still, combining that with a little bit o' rough and tough that the refs stopped in order to save Scrivens from testing the Canadian health care system, the Sabres played a good game, and one they should have one. Look for your boys in blue and gold to come out strong tonight, and ruin the annual playoff push that is the Ottawa Senators attempting to legitimize failing to support the best offensive defenseman since Bobby Orr The Senators? These guys? These guys right here? Well, ###### these guys. Sitting at 74 points, 7 outside of the last playoff spot, Ottawa still thinks they can somehow make it in and lose in the first round yet again. Cue the entire Canadian capital going crazy during the offseason, freaking out that they were 'this close' from a legitimate playoff push. Hey Ottawa, wanna know what you're missing? Sam Reinhart, Jack Eichel, Ryan O'Reilly....yeah, centers. Enjoy your misery and the insane contract you shackled Karlsson to while it lasts. Game Preview Stats: All Stats: Ottawa @ Buffalo (3-1 loss) All Stats: Buffalo @ Ottawa (3-2 win) All Stats: Buffalo @ Ottawa (2-1 loss) Thursday Practice Report The Sabres outshot the Canadiens 43-22 on Wednesday, an impressive margin, but still weren’t able to come away with a win. With the loss, they fell to 8-18-4 on the season when outshooting their opponent. "What we talked about today during our meeting is, we don’t think we got enough net-front presence," Bylsma said. "We got opportunities, but I don’t think we got enough net-front opportunities. It's something, probably as a result is how many times we've scored a goal."

That Aud Smell Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 Nice preview. I especially enjoy calling out the Senators as middling pretenders a la Buffalo 2011. The spirit of Chris Drury compels you, Sabres: Destroy the Senators. Oh. And Chris Neil. Quote
Brawndo Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 Kasdorf has a groin injury and has not practiced with the Sabres yet, if Lehner cannot go look for a callup from Rochester. Quote

The spirit of Chris Drury compels you, Sabres: Destroy the Senators. Oh. And ###### Chris Neil. One of the reasons I hate the Senators. Still remember watching that play live on TV. Total bs. Hope the Sabres spank the Senators tonight. Quote
inkman Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 Kasdorf has a groin injury and has not practiced with the Sabres yet, if Lehner cannot go look for a callup from Rochester. Amerks don't play until tomorrow so it won't hinder them Quote
CallawaySabres Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 Pm me if there is interest for 2 tickets in section 117 Row 20 or 4 tickets together in Section 114 row 17 Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 Great GDT! Very funny! :w00t: Go Sabres! Quote
Weave Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Tugnutt sucks. How nutt could a Tugnutt nutt, if Tugnutt could tug nutt? Edited March 18, 2016 by We've Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 Got 4 tix tonight, gonna be sitting against the back wall, cause nosebleeds are the best for being able to take in the whole game. F Neil, right in his tugnutts Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 I don't like the Senators. at all. That's all. GO SABRES!! Quote
Brawndo Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Clearly Lehner and Colaiacovo not ready today. #Sabres recall Chad Ruhwedel and Nathan Lieuwen. Per Joe Yerdon Edited March 18, 2016 by BRAWNDO Quote
dudacek Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 Anyone else think this is Chad's last hurrah as a Sabre? Quote
That Aud Smell Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 How nutt could a Tugnutt nutt, if Tugnutt could tug nutt? Excellent. Quote
Weave Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Anyone else think this is Chad's last hurrah as a Sabre? Given the potential rules changes next season, I want him around for them. Who knows which goalies rise to the top with smaller equipment? I'm not putting all my money on Lehner. Edited March 18, 2016 by We've Quote

Mustache of God Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 With all the goalies in our system (Markarov, Liuewuen, Kasdorph, Ullmark) I can't see Johnson sticking around. I feel that one of those guys will back up Lehner and by one of those guys I mean Ullmark. I feel like Markarov and Liuewen have 0 future with the Sabres unless they're content staying in Rochester.

Brawndo Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 Plan is to rest Robin Lehner for two or three days. Chad Johnson will start both games this weekend. #Sabres Per Bill Hoppe Quote
Weave Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 :blink: (Maybe both Chads are gonna be left hanging after this season?) Ha! Had goalie Chad on my mind when I replied. Never even considered Rudy. Quote
Beer Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 Nice GDT WC. Are you in school for creative writing? It might be your calling. Can't wait to see just how Big The Johnson is tonight. I bet he fills the crease and then some. Go Sabres! Quote
darksabre Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 Rudy has been playing well in Rochester. I still think he sucks. Let's see how he plays tonight I guess. Quote

darksabre Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 Just imagine how much edging Rob Ray might perceive. quintessential d4rk. If I started liking him he'd probably go back to being terrible. Quote
Huckleberry Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 I think just called two players up who are less likely to screw up the amerks playoff chances. Also if the Amerks make the play offs do you send eichel and reinhart down or is it to late for that ? Quote

Also if the Amerks make the play offs do you send eichel and reinhart down or is it to late for that ? Too late. It's why Bailey went down when he did, that was the deadline. Quote
