GDT Sabres at Pens 11/14/17 7pm MSG WGR 550

[Brawndo]

What is there to say, besides when Sid was asked about his goal scoring drought he said I’m not worried We play the Sabres on Tuesday, the perfect cure for a scoring drought.

 

I’m kidding he didn’t say that, at least to Press he didn’t.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

GO SABRES!!

 

Just win!!

 

GO SABRES!!

[ubkev]

Crosby with the double hat trick. Sabres win, 7-6. All 7 of our goals come from Evander Kane and Benoit Pouliot.

[JujuFish]

We've held Crosby pointless in 4 out of 36 career games against us, if my quick count is correct.  I knew it was bad, but dang.

[That Aud Smell]

Well, they played a good game against the Caps about a week ago. So ...

 

Let's go, Buffalo!

[Stoner]

Pittsburgh is a true house of horrors for the Sabres, Igloo or the new joint across the street. I didn't do the math, but it looks like Pitt might be the place the Sabres franchise has had the least success on a points per game basis. Even worse than Philly. They're currently on a six-game losing streak there.

 

The odd thing is that the Sabres have won three of four playoff games there. The one loss was a doozie.

 

In my mind's eye, these games go one of two ways. The Pens blow it open in the first 10 minutes, or the Sabres lead in the third and fall apart.

 

Jean-Claude Van Damme out of the stands to stone Eichel in the shootout. Darius Kasparaitis past Lehner for the winner, 4-3 Pens.

^LOL

 

You can't tell me if Phil Housley made that speech, the Sabres wouldn't go out and win 11-1.

 

There's something to be said for being loose.

Perfect!  :cry:

[Swedesessed]

Sabres will jump out to a 3-0 lead and lose 4-3 in OT

[bcsaberks]

Crosby is -14 ytd, killing me in fantasy.  He's at the bottom of the league, though O'Reilly is threatening at -13.  Malkin is -2 fwiw.

 

Team Goal differential YTD, descending order:
Phoenix -30

Buffalo - 20

Pittsburgh -18

[Drunkard]

This has all the makings of a 6-0 shutout where we get spanked while the boards argues between whether our forwards, defensemen, or goalies are most in need of upgrades.

Damn that Crosby! Gets a big contract then coasts! Lazy bum.

[French Collection]

If they can't get up for this game.....well, it just doesn't matter.

 

 

Go Sabres! I want to be entertained.

He said it with his eyes.

 

 

I know it's confirmation bias but I feel that every time I read about a slumping player in the BN pre-game articles that player usually has an amazing game.

They were put back together for Montreal.

[WildCard]

They were put back together for Montreal.

Wasn't exactly thrilling either

Ha.  Crazy though.  He'll have a 3 point game tonight.

This is as close to lines I'd choose that I've seen this season

I would swap Girgs with Mouslon and then tell the 4th line to show-up an hour late for the charter and call it an "logistical error" and then I'd be saying the same thing.

[LTS]

Will miss the game. Out of town at a conference.

 

Not sure I'm upset about it. Probably less so when I get to the vendor dinner and everything is on their tab.

 

Then again. I love hockey.

 

For those who will watch, I hope the Sabres show a new side tonight.
