nfreeman Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 Game on! Will Carey Price finally rise to the occasion vs his nemesis Anders Nilsson? Will Casey Nelson give Shea Weber another lesson in NHL defense, toughness and general manhood? The Habs are in 1st place in the division but a so-so 4-4 in their last 8. Patchy is having a nice season with 21 goals so far. Quote
TheAud Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 Is a Nelson call-up confirmed? I was hoping for Burgdoerfer. Quote
RonHextallsShoulderPads Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 Don't start Nilsson back to back. Put in the Swede we NEEED. Quote
CallawaySabres Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 Can Buffalo ever win a game where most fans so no chance? I'm glad they play a top team on a back to back because these are the games that show me who they really are. A win goes a long way... Quote
pastajoe Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 Remember when they won in Edmonton without Eichel when we thought they'd get killed. But without 3 D and against a rested Carey Price, I would expect losing 5-1. Quote
Samson's Flow Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 Risto and ROR both played insane minutes yesterday. Can't see how some of our best players will have anything left for today. :( Quote
darksabre Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 We're gonna get wrecked tonight. Quote
LTS Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 I say.. when everyone is tired. Call in the Brute Squad and go Old Tyme Hockey... Line brawls, rack up the minutes, beat them until their whites become their reds... Or you know.. just go score a bunch of goals. Quote
French Collection Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 I doubt McCabe can play, no lefties in the system except Guhle. That emergency recall provision can be used again? I'd like to see this kid fly on Hockey Night in Canada. Quote
Eleven Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 After a LONG week of work, I'm looking forward to settling down and watching some hockey. Quote
nfreeman Posted January 21, 2017 Author Report Posted January 21, 2017 After a LONG week of work, I'm looking forward to settling down and watching some hockey. Be careful, my friend. This is what they do. They get you kinda psyched to watch a game and then, when you've got your food and your drink and your spot by the TV all set up -- they pitch a stinker. Quote

That's been the last bunch of years madness of being a Sabres fan. I can hear DB already preaching we can't trade chances with this team so I expect the same type of game the devils played em last night. A 4 or 3 to 1 loss. Hope for the best prepare for the worst, come on Sabres surprise me. Quote

PromoTheRobot Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 As of today there are 11 teams within 8 points of each other and 3 playoff spots up for grabs. Sabres are 5 behind the Leafs for a WC. If they have any prayer of catching up they need to win games like tonight. Quote
Brawndo Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 Possible D Pairs Bogo - Risto Falk - Franson Fedun - Nelson Welp Quote

I'd like to see this kid fly on Hockey Night in Canada. They won't bring Guhle up until near the end of the season. They don't want to use up a year of his contract if he plays more than 9 games. Quote
woods-racer Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 In Montreal on a Saturday night. That place should be loud and fun. May the Sabres make it so you can hear a pin drop. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 Price has been human since December. Sabres have been awful since 2011, though. Risto is going to be putrid, and O'Reilly may be quiet. Gonna miss most of this one, hopefully that's something that bums me out tonight as opposed to giving relief. Quote
nfreeman Posted January 21, 2017 Author Report Posted January 21, 2017 I'm interested to see Nelson. He hasn't looked ready for prime time, but has shown flashes of good skating and puck skills IMHO. We should remember that most defensemen take a while to learn the NHL game -- Soupy was still getting healthy-scratched in 2005 -- and he got a $50MM deal in 2008. Quote
thewookie1 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 They'll play valiantly, and by that I mean Risto and ROR who will be rather tired. 4-2 Loss more than likely. Quote
French Collection Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 They won't bring Guhle up until near the end of the season. They don't want to use up a year of his contract if he plays more than 9 games. I was thinking for one or two games, as Kulikov is nearly ready. Quote
Huckleberry Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 Don't start Nilsson back to back. Put in the Swede we NEEED. dear god I hope its not Nilsson Quote

Gonna miss most of this one, hopefully that's something that bums me out tonight as opposed to giving relief. You really are Mr Sunshine. I know in your head the Sabres lost last night, but they actually won the game, and it was awesome (as MODO will tell you.) Going to be interesting to see what wheels they have by the end of the game. Going to see some live music tonight so I'll be watching this one on delay. Quote
