Game Discussion Thread Buffalo at Philadelphia 7pm EST MSG, GR

[Brawndo]

Off to Broad Street for the Sabres tonight. They have 6 points in there last 4 games and Philly has bounced back from their losing streak as well.

I will miss this one as I will be seeing Star Wars and getting my inner and outer nerd on tonight

[LGR4GM]

I would like to see the solid play continue. 

[CallawaySabres]

Interest may peak to .01% for tomorrow's game if they win tonight...here's to hoping

[LTS]

I'll miss part of the game at a school concert.  Unless, you know, I use MSG GO and stream it during the concert.  My guess is that my wife will not accept that behavior however. :)

You should definitely go. It's still a pro-hockey game, against a rival, in a luxury box with free food and beer.

the food and drink isnt free. there is a private bar and bathrooms, but you do have to pay. there are corporate boxes, which i think have free stuff. i am not in those. i have a different box.

My second most hated team in a close race with those dastardly Bruins ... Friggin' Park ... Friggin' Parant.

 

Just beat these guys.

 

GO SABRES!!

Sorry, right now the Pens top that list for me.  Besides, when it counts (and even sometimes when it doesn't) we usually measure up well against the Flyers.

[woods-racer]

I haven't been expecting much the last half dozen games and after the game thought they where entertaining.

 

I'm ratcheting up my expectation 1 lonely little notch. I'm expecting two solid periods of play. No idea which two. Baby steps.....

[Mustache of God]

Next 5 games are PHI, CAR, BOS, PHI, CAR, all very winnable. If the solid play continues this season could start to look interesting again, or at least make me care about being at the winter classic.

[jsb]

I like East Coast games, Flyers home jersey's have to be the ugliest ones in the league, 

We have 25 wins, 51 losses and 12 ties in Philly

We haven't beaten them in Philly since 2015

Last win versus the Flyers was last year, Nilsson had 39 saves and Reinhart had a goal and 2 assists in that game

Last game Lehner played in Philly he gave up 6 goals in a loss, Risto was a -5 but Jack did have 2 goals and an assist in that game. Also the fans favorite Gudas had a goal and 2 assists

Steak Hoagies are much better than Philly Cheese Steaks

Flyers are tied for first in Stanley Cup Finals appearances since 1974 with 7

We have 2 appearances 75' and 99', so if history repeats itself we'll be back in 2023

 

LETS GO BUFFALO

I'd go. If I didn't already have plans tonight, I'd consider begging the ticket off you. :)

If they will all those, they'd only have to win 11 more to get back to playoff-bubble pace!

That's my "Most Hated" order as well:

 

1.  Boston

2.  Philly

3.  Quebec Nordiques (I got a looooong memory)

Philly, then Boston for me. Did the Nordique-hate transfer west when they moved?

I need you to go so you can give me a report on how the seats are! I'm planning on taking my brother to the home game next Friday. Initially I was going to look for a lower bowl seat. I noticed the tickets in the 200's are so cheap for tomorrow night's game that I'm waiting for the prices to drop next Friday as well so I can give him that experience.

Toronto

Boston

Edmonton

Because Edmonton won the lottery?

[WildCard]

Because Edmonton won the lottery?

Mostly. They've won a ton of lotteries, and had Gretzky. How lucky can you get? It's insane

I've sat up in the 224/201/202. Nice seats. The game not so much; that on the Sabres were up 2-0 after the first, lost the game 7-2. Kassian fought Sesito that game. Woo!

CAR plays a very disciplined possession game and their players are well versed in the system.

 

CAR ranks first in the league in SAT% (BOS 6th), BUF ranks 25th (which is an improvement from last season where they ranked 29th).

They traded for Gretzky when they were in the WHA.  Can't fault them for that.
