GDT:Detroit at Buffalo, 3/29/18 7PM MSG, WGR 550

[Brawndo]

Lights, please."

 

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding

in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

 

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,

and the glory of the Lord shone round about them:

and they were afraid.

 

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold,

I bring you good tidings of great joy,

which shall be to all people.

 

For unto you is born this day in the City of Buffalo a Savior

which is Casey The Mittelstadt.

 

Casey makes his long anticipated debut for the Sabres Tonight vs The Red Wings. The combination of coming off a victory against the Leafs and the anticipation of Mittelstadt joining the lineup seem to reinvigorate the team in yesterday’s practice, hopefully that carries over to tonight’s game.

 

Projected Line Up

 

Girgensons-Eichel-Pominville

Rodrigues-Mittelstadt-Reinhart

Wilson-O'Reilly-Okposo

Nolan-Larsson-Baptiste

 

 

Guhle-Ristolainen

Scandella-Nelson

Beaulieu-Falk

Gorges-Antipin

 

Lehner

Johnson

Ullmark

 

May the Mittelstadt be with you always.

[pastajoe]

It’s a waste for Ullmark to be up if they’re not going to play him. He could be helping the Amerks who are fighting to avoid the Marlies in the 1st round.

[nfreeman]

The GDT is not supposed to launch until after midnight. 

 

Now Casey's career is cursed.

[Wyldnwoody44]

It's been cursed ever since he put that buffalo on his chest

[Randall Flagg]

Antipin in for Beaulieu would make this the most interesting lineup we could possibly ice at this point.

[LGR4GM]

And he broke the 4th seal. And behold a pale horse and he who rode upon it was named Mittelstadt and hell followed him.

[pi2000]

Woe to you, oh Earth and sea

For the Devil sends the Beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the Beast
For it is a human number, its number is thirty seven

[Taro T]

Not if he's recovering from a concussion he won't.

Yeah, but Antipin doesn't remind Housley of the '89 version of himself, so we can't possibly let THAT happen. :angry:

Casey came to me in a vision and gave me special permission to spread his word early

Shrooms were good last nite huh?

[Derrico]

Oh this is gonna be fun.

[Ho-Chi-Sock]

Buy Sabres Season Tickets by the weekend and Casey will heal you. (Praise His name)

The future is here. Now.

[bunomatic]

I'll miss the first ( work ) but the anticipation is real on this one. Can't wait.

[Winston]

Opening day of baseball. Opening day of Casey's reign. 

 

Good day! 

[Derrico]

This is the most highly anticipated player, other than Jack, in a long time. I know there was anticipation with Reinhart and cough Grigorenko. But this feels bigger than those two, I donno.

[Drunkard]

Welcome to Buffalo Lord Casey (pbuh).

 

Now give us a damn Ovechtrick already!

[darksabre]

All I want for Casey is for him to get through these last few games without getting cheap-shotted by some plug.

Even if they try it, he'll just light them on fire and send them to hell. Problem solved.

But lo! Whether he plays or not, Ullmark clearly delivered the thread-opening liturgy.

Caught a snippet of Casey’s speech after practice yesterday to rally the team down the stretch and into next season.

 

“We shall go on to the end.

 

“We shall fight on the ice, we shall fight against the Leafs and the Bruins, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing speed through the neutral zone, we shall defend the Key Bank Centre, whatever the cost may be.

 

“We shall fight by the benches, we shall fight on the face off dot, we shall fight in the corners and in the crease, we shall fight in OT;

 

“We shall never surrender.”

Good job, I’m a sucker for WWII references

[stuuuuuuuuu]

Driving from Lynchburg Va to Raleigh NC after work today, going to miss the start of the game.  

 

Casey, if you're reading, please wait to score your first until midway through the first.

 

Thanks,

Stu,

 

PS You should have picked #41
