Doohicksie Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Philly is always a good game. Some of the best Sabres games I can remember are against the Flyers. No matter where each team is in the standings, these games are usually intensely competitive for two teams from different divisions. EDIT: Line Updates (the picture from DailyFaceOff does not match morning skate): 48-Carrier 90-ROR 21-Okposo 82-Foligno 15-Eichel 12-Gionta 9-Kane 23-Reinhart 56-Bailey 44-DeslaurierS 28-GirgensonS 26-MoulsonS Starting goalies are likely to be Nilsson (Lehner has the flu... musta been kissing Carrier) and Mason. Jack and Sam back together, hopefully the magic will be strong. In fact the top three lines look like they can put some points up. Let's hope they score early and often.

Sabel79 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 A win and we're seven points out of their wildcard spot with three games in hand. Still a lot of hockey to play for everyone, but things are looking less dire all of a sudden. Crazy what a decent few results will do. I'm optimistic we'll see a big performance. Out of the Sabres, even. Quote
SabresBaltimore Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 This is the only game I get to watch this week, so I'm hoping it's a good one. Philly's been playing well this season after a slow start. I'm hopeful we're finally starting to find our game. I just hope we don't fall behind again. We do that too often. Quote
Derrico Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 Philly had a huge run in early December but are 2-5-3 in their last 10. Good time to be playing them. We need this win. Quote
Brawndo Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 Philly had a huge run in early December but are 2-5-3 in their last 10. Good time to be playing them. We need this win. The Sabres seem to be getting The Flyers and Tampa Bay at the right time Quote

I just hope we're not their bounce back game like with Chicago. At least this one is at home. It looks like Philly is much better at home (13-6-3; 65% points) than on the road (8-9-3; 47.5%). We're pretty much even (8-8-3 home, 7-7-6 road; 50% of points for both). Quote
Mig22 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 It's certainly time to get Philly. Once again their goaltending has come back to earth; Mason has been a mess and his Save % has fallen to 0.903. And all of sudden, the Metro Division might not have both wild cards locked up. Quote
CallawaySabres Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 Have to string together a few wins here. It seems like the mentality of this group is slooooowly trending up. These full periods of terrible effort need to stop immediately if they have a prayer of getting back into the race. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 The third period against Winnipeg was awesome. But it'll mean a whole lot less if the team can't somehow manage to build on it. Let's Go Buffalo! Quote

That Aud Smell Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 Well Gionta is our leading 5v5 scorer and defensivley responsible Stop being a reasonable person. Quote
Brawndo Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 Well Gionta is our leading 5v5 scorer and defensivley responsible True, I was looking for speedy wingers to keep up with Jack. Nylander-Eichel-Baptiste next season perhaps? Quote
WildCard Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 True, I was looking for speedy wingers to keep up with Jack. Nylander-Eichel-Baptiste next season perhaps? A good point. Really not sure Nylander is ready for the big leagues next year When is Ennis back? Quote

Mig22 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 I think I like Gionta with Jack. The captain is a guy who knows how goals are created and if his offensive skills are not what they were, his hockey sense in the offensive zone is as finely tuned as ever. That said, some line stability would be nice. We have scored 11 goals in the last 3 games. Quote
3putt Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 Nylander will be with the team for the final 8 games and will not been seen in Rochester again after that. Quote
Brawndo Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 Nilsson in net Ennis was a full participant in the morning skate, he has to be close Quote
SabresBaltimore Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 When is Ennis back? It could be as soon as Thursday or Friday from what I read. Quote
darksabre Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 Nilsson in net Ennis was a full participant in the morning skate, he has to be close Seems Bylsma might be riding the hot hand after all. Quote
WildCard Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 It could be as soon as Thursday or Friday from what I read.I'm excited but I feel prepared to be let down. Though my expectations or pretty low for him so maybr I won't be Quote
