GDT: Buffalo at Washington, 7 p.m. EST, 12/5/2016

[Randall Flagg]

I've often told the story about me trying to give away about 30 playoff tickets in 1998.  First round.  I had to leave most of them on a Post newspaper box.

 

Second round, building half empty.

 

Third round, building full; half are Sabs fans.

 

Finals, people started taking notice.

 

I was glad they were swept.

 

Now, everyone in town seems to be wearing red on game day, from what I see on TV.

 

Is it Ovi?  (Because they had Kolzig and Bondra and Jagr in my days there...hardly chopped liver...)

 

Is it that they no longer have the Screaming for a Vengeance unis?

 

If he can play, he can play; if he can't, he can't. Resting him for 20 minutes isn't going to change a thing.

I don't want him playing if he doesn't trust his ankle enough to engage in play. It will kill his line and get them hemmed in like it did every single shift, with no exceptions, after he tweaked it.

Have they been doing what ROR just did all night?

[Randall Flagg]

Why has this team suddenly decided to stop hitting the red line before dumping the puck in?

Three letters.  I'll give you the first two:  D, D.

What the heck does Dance Dance Revolution have to do with anything?

Noice

BTW, PA, if you ever want to hear what a dead arena REALLY sounds like on TV, now is your chance.

GIRGS SCORED A GOAL! :w00t:

[Brawndo]

Nice save 

[Randall Flagg]

I'll say it again, if this is all Eichel can do right now, they should not let him play. If that is all it took to do this to him, he should not have been back yet. This kid has to have a cup-winning career with us. I don't want to dick around with his ankle in Washington in December.

[sodbuster]

Whistle too quick

[3putt]

He certainly looks limited or disinterested

[Sabel79]

This is a power play in an ironic sense only.

Yep.

[Huckleberry]

they should keep Eichel off, he hasn't been able to do much.

lehner is starting to scare me.

[Brawndo]

What the hell got into Zemgus Tonight?

[LGR4GM]

Where has this Zemgus been?

What the hell got into Zemgus Tonight?

Swedish Hockey Gods?

[hockeyhound]

 

Which trio get's OV duty tonight?

 

Keeping OV off the score sheet, not and easy task.

lehner is starting to scare me.

 

In a "can't save" way or a "might kill someone way?"  Or a "has Trump face on his mask" way?

 

There are a lot of possibilities here.

[JJFIVEOH]

these washington announcers are goin all Marion Barry on us. They'z on crack. It terrible

 

I'm almost tempted to switch over just to see how bad these guys really are. 

[Randall Flagg]

I spy the 1-2-2 again. I can't wait to watch it effectively handle a lead like it has all season long.

[Norcal]

How is it that the Sabres always end up with the grossest commercials every year? Gtfo with that !

I've got the craps feed.  Was it sweat or veins or cigarette use?

I know I'm down on him--mostly because of the salary--but that is one thing he did well on Saturday afternoon.
