French Collection Posted October 4, 2018 Report Posted October 4, 2018 Red light Rask. Let's go Buffalo! 1 Quote
SabresBaltimore Posted October 4, 2018 Report Posted October 4, 2018 I haven't been following much of the preseason, so I'll be curious to see how they look. Can't be worse than last year, right? Quote
That Aud Smell Posted October 4, 2018 Report Posted October 4, 2018 Let’s Go, Buffalo!! Send Boston spiraling, please. 2-goal first period by the good guys. 4-2 win, with Boston getting a late fluky one. Dahlin with primary helper on PP GWG. Quote
jsb Posted October 4, 2018 Report Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) VS Game Previewshttp://www.espn.com/nhl/preview/_/gameId/401044324 https://buffalonews.com/2018/10/03/sabres-lines-and-defense-pairs-set-for-opener/ I haven't been this pumped up for a season opener since Eichel's rookie year. Boston was blasted last night by the Washington Caps so I'm expecting them to come out on fire. Phil better have the boys ready. LETS GO BUFFALO Edited October 4, 2018 by jsb Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted October 4, 2018 Report Posted October 4, 2018 Let's hope this season starts and ends better than the several recent seasons. Just beat these guys. My distaste for the dastardly Bruins knows no bounds. MUST WIN!! I predict that Eich will have the best game of his career, resulting in a huge win. GO SABRES!! 1 Quote
matter2003 Posted October 4, 2018 Report Posted October 4, 2018 Sabres start their run to the Stanley Cup tonight! I have a feeling Boston will be in a very surly mood after last nights drubbing. Quote
Neo Posted October 4, 2018 Report Posted October 4, 2018 For reasons I do not understand, I cannot post in Flagg’s First Goal thread, so here ... Dahlin, first shift, joining Gare, Mogilny and ..... Rob Ray! Historians, check my math. Quote

Ray would have gone on to be one of the most prolific goal scorers in NHL history. Unfortunately in his second game his overconfidence got the better of him and he ended up in a fight. During the fight he received a blow that changed that course of history. After a particularly strong punch to the right frontal lobe, Ray believed the goal was situated to the side of the scorer's area. He would continue to "score" often. Yes, I'm in a strange mood. Yes, it's because hockey started last night and the Sabres begin tonight. It's time. Here come the Buffalo Sabres. 2 Quote
LGR4GM Posted October 4, 2018 Report Posted October 4, 2018 Projected lineup based off of the last practice, not the cancelled one but the one where Jack become Captain Jack. Skinner-Eichel-Reinhart Sheary-Berglund-Thompson Sobotka-Mittelstadt-Okposo Girgensons-Rodrigues-Pominville - Remi Elie, extra Ristolainen-Scandella McCabe-Dahlin Beaulieu-Nelson - Tennyson, extra Hutton Ullmark Quote

LGR4GM Posted October 4, 2018 Report Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Just read an article in the Athletic that basically building the lines the way Phil has with a super line is bad. Reinhart should be with Mitts as Skinner and Eichel will still produce at a high level with or without Reinhart. Stimson's thoughts: "Sheary – Eichel – Pominville Skinner – Mittlestadt – Reinhart Rodrigues – Berglund – Okposo Elie – Sobotka- Thompson Casey Mittlestadt needs someone like Reinhart on his line to help drive play. Skinner and Eichel on separate lines maintains two strong goal-scorers in the top six. The added dimension of that second line enables Berglund to play on a decent third line. Berglund is an impact player and Rodrigues showed scoring potential last season. With Pominville, Reinhart, and Berglund all on separate lines, you have arguably the three best play drivers on the team on the ice as much as possible. That creates extra possessions in the offensive zone and allows the scorers on the team that can’t drive play to that extent to flourish." Edited October 4, 2018 by LGR4GM 1 Quote

This is the one time I didn't need the athletic to tell me something. No sht putting all your top talent on one line is bad Quote

apuszczalowski Posted October 4, 2018 Report Posted October 4, 2018 Hopefully the Sabres dont have anything celebratory going on tonight for their home opener, Marchand might take offence to it and jump a Sabres once the whistle blows..... 1 Quote
