GDT: Pittsburgh at Buffalo, November 19, 2016, 7pm

[inkman]

He is one big boy.

Well you can't teach size or how to make a face puncher a hockey player.

[MODO Hockey]

Tonight will be another rough night .. sigh! :D

[Huckleberry]

Going out for a drink, might get back in time for the game :p

[JJFIVEOH]

This has all the makings of a blowout. Which means it'll be an upset! 

[ubkev]

Sabres tweeted out that Larsson is promoted to the top line...again. Let's see how it works out tonight.

[JJFIVEOH]

Maybe, just maybe, these guys might start scoring a little bit if they had some time to get used to certain linemates? Ya think? Instead of changing lines every half-period? 

[WanderingEye]

I think Cal O'Reilly is going to provide the spark this team desperately needs.

[rjones71]

Bah humbug...

[Kruppstahl]

The hope and anticipation of watching Bylsma being humiliated in front of his old team will make tonight's game particularly entertaining. 

 

From now on, when the team loses, the fans win.

 

At some point the Bylsma era is going to collapse on itself and the sooner the better.

 

The problem is Pegula probably thinks he's doing a good job.

 

Ever notice that with regard to both football and hockey, Pegula is the least informed big time sports fan you've ever known?

[Doohicksie]

Oh I can top that

 

#Sabres lines:

Kane-Larsson-Okposo

Foligno-Reinhart-Gionta

Moulson-Cal O'Reilly-Girgensons

Carrier-Grant-Schneider

 

Wasn't Larsson saying he thought he was top-6 talent when he came up?  I guess he is.... on a team like this.  :sick:

updated roster for tonight

 

:flirt:

It's worked so well for 12-22-82 so far this year, wouldn't you agree?  :angel:

[beerme1]

Just glad they weren't tempted to call nylander up yet :P

 

 

I think I'm ready to ogive him a few games to see what he's got now. And perhaps entertain us!

[Sabres Fan in NS]

updated roster for tonight

 

 

 

:flirt:

 

 

At first glance I thought the buster of sod had posted an upgrade to the lineup tonight.  Then I clicked it and sadly found that it was just a suggestion.

 

 

Bah humbug...

 

Welcome to dysfunction junction.

[darksabre]

That comedian sadly died of a pain killer overdose.

:lol:

[Iron Crotch]

Another one goal night for our boys.

[Hawerchuk]

Evacuate? At our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances.

"We have analyzed their attack sir, and there is a weakness... Everybody's freaking injured!!

[TrueBlueGED]

Bold prediction: we don't score 1 goal. Whether that means we get shut out or get >1, I'll let you decide :p

[bob_sauve28]

"We have analyzed their attack sir, and there is a weakness... Everybody's freaking injured!!

Use the force Luke!

Is Kulikov playing??

[DarthEbriate]

In my opinion, an oddity in the lines and the sending down of Baptiste. When in Rochester, the top line was Schneider - Cal OR - Baptiste. If calling up Scheider and COR for a more experienced lineup, why not leave Baptiste up and let them play together? It was one of the best scoring lines in the AHL.

 

And -- going against Crosby -- is this really the game to break up Foligno - Larsson - Gionta? That trio has stymied everyone they've played this year. It's the rest of the team that worries me.

 

Hmmmm. That said, Let's go, Buffalo!

I do like the font though.

[Thorner]

I can't even...

Larsson with Kane!

 

Sabres tweeted out that Larsson is promoted to the top line...again. Let's see how it works out tonight.

I can see why they'd tweet that after it worked soooo well the first time :lol:

[ubkev]

I made sure to let them know that I thought they were stupid.

[Thorner]

I made sure to let them know that I thought they were stupid.

"Write 'SABRES TWITTER SUCKS' in big letters, so that every time they look into Sabrespace, they will realize that they suck!"

[TrueBlueGED]

Larsson with Kane!

 

My enthusiasm for that combination is not enough to overcome what the remainder looks like. That's one fugly lineup.

It's certainly not phat.

Yeah, nothing they're doing makes any sense, unless they're trying to lose without making it totally obvious.
