jsb Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) ESPN Preview: http://www.espn.com/nhl/preview/_/gameId/400962380 BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Things went surprisingly well for the Buffalo Sabres in their recent three-game road trip. Their return home? Not so much.The Sabres followed up their best stretch of the season with a lackluster display in a 3-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday. They'll look to rebound with another home game against the Florida Panthers on Thursday."Our five-on-five game wasn't where it needed to be," Sabres coach Phil Housley said, according to the team's website. "We talked this morning about where they are as a desperate team. They just played with more urgency. I didn't think we respected the position they were in. Coming off a road trip, you would've thought we would have gained confidence and been sharp."Defenseman Jake McCabe scored for Buffalo against the Devils late in the third period with the team already down 2-0. It was a performance more on par for the majority of the season for the Sabres (14-27-9). Before coming home, the Sabres exceeded expectations in a Western Canada road trip with three wins in three games -- with two of those wins coming via shutout.

They had a season-long, three-game winning streak end on Tuesday night with a 3-1 loss to New Jersey. All-Star forward Jack Eichel has been one of the hottest players in the NHL over the last six-plus weeks, with 25 points since Dec. 13. Only three players have more during that span. … Panthers goaltenders James Reimer (pulled groin) and Roberto Luongo (lower-body) are not expected to practice until next week.

Eleven Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 From what I saw on Tuesday and from what I read about yesterday's practice, I'm not expecting an all-out effort tonight. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 I predict a big win. GO SABRES!! Quote
LGR4GM Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 From what I saw on Tuesday and from what I read about yesterday's practice, I'm not expecting an all-out effort tonight. Like I said, I would kick them out of the locker room until they start winning at home. They don't deserve . Quote

spndnchz Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 Where would you like them to change and shower? There’s an empty room at my place. ;) Quote
Stoner Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 There’s an empty room at my place. ;) Hey now. Wait... how do you shower in an empty room? Quote

Eleven Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 Visitors locker room. Where do the visitors change and shower? Quote
Randall Flagg Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 Second-to-last full month of Sabres hockey. We're getting near the end of this catastrophe, sort of. We can beat these guys. 4 of 5. Do it. Quote
apuszczalowski Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 I could see this one being a win. Florida is down to their #3 goalie I believe. Haven't been great. If Sabres come to play, I could see a W here Quote
Mustache of God Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 I could see this one being a win. Florida is down to their #3 goalie I believe. Haven't been great. If Sabres come to play, I could see a W here #3 goalie you say? Sounds like we're going to make him look like an all-star, as is tradition. Quote
freester Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 Pysyk gets a hat trick just to add to the misery Quote
Randall Flagg Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 Pysyk gets a hat trick just to add to the misery Does he have 3 goals in his entire career? Quote
nucci Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 Skate. Score goals. Don't get hemmed into your own zone. Can I have Rob's job? Well done...I hit mute button when he tries to speak...plus he can't finish his thoughts in time and talks during play by play. Doubtful RJ likes that Quote
Eleven Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 Sabres locker room. Ok, I'm good with this idea. Quote
Stoner Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 Terry DID say at his presser event that he didn't care if the players got dressed out in the atrium — the lockerroom refurbishing would be Kim's task. Quote
darksabre Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 I smell a shootout. I think you're right. Sabres lose in the shootout 2-1 in the most boring game you've ever watched. Quote
