IT'S ON!


Pumped for tonight and so is a friend of mine from Texas that wanted to start watching hockey and i got him into the Sabres!

 

i am already dreading the narratives of how Jack needs to come out flying like his peers McDavid and Mathews last night, or he isnt "in the same league as those guys" if he doesnt have 3 points

 

I'm waiting to see if your captaincy theory is correct.  I'll be there.

I'm hoping, although, they did a good job of not really leaving any clues about it at the presser.  i'd love nothing more than to hear the announcer say it with a super long drawn out "your Captain. Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack Eichel!"

It'll be a tough pill to swallow if we lose tonight and Eichel has 0 pts

 

Nope.  Only one game.  It's expected that the team will struggle with so many new faces (nearly half the team), a new coach and a new system.  I'm trying to stay grounded and keep expectations in check.

 

NOW BEAT THOSE HABS!

There should be no reason to lose to Montreal. They should be slower than Buffalo and are certainly less talented. The catch being Buffalo is rolling the new system so as I keep saying, October might be sub .500 hockey while they figure this thing out.

Unfortunately, you are in the distinct minority. If the Sabres lose 3-0, this place will implode.

True.  And with their first win, it will explode with visions of playoffs.  Nature of the beast and stuff.

Lose? Did the US lose when the Germans bombed pearl harbor!? (yes I am changing the quote)

I find myself strangely anticipating who will be the forward and D who are healthy scratches tonight. 

I'm guessing Nolan and Tennyson but hoping it's Gorges. 

 

Let's Go Buf A Lo!

They still have a steel wall in front of the goal.

3 points from Jack to match the efforts of McDavid and Matthews.

You know it will only be two points right?????

Two points where he is dragged to the ice by all 6 opposing players, still managing to setup Kane for the empty net.  Not good enough to be acknowledged as a great play.

What is this? A GDT thread in a hockey forum? Blasphemy!

 

I'm so mother-ligering excited to watch the Sabres take on those liger-hole Habs in a meaningful hockey game. Hoping for a strong fast start from our top guys, so that the game is well in hand by the time I have to leave for my 9pm bar league game tonight.
