Signed up for a free trial of Fubo. 

The team has one week to help me decide whether or not I’m going to pay for it. 

Me too. I like the record feature. Recording Sabres and Red Sox.

Interesting.

 

Also thanks to whoever changed the thread title.

The Rangers absolutely suck. This is a game you need to win, otherwise we're the same old team and we're gonna bury ourselves sooner rather than later. At some point you need to expect this team to beat inferior talent

Did he get injured in the little mixup w/ Chara & McAvoy at the end Thursday night?

Considering he was given the O'Reilly important draw role last game, very surprised he's not playing tonight.

Ummmm we're still dead last, there is no inferior talent ????

 

In other news, I will be on 26 hours of flights, so I'll read this when the game is well over, I can't wait to read if we lose, it's pure entertainment, like WWE haha

Saw that. Pretty awesome. 

Thought I was being slick when I signed up, and used a Los Angeles zip code to avoid Sabres blackouts. Then I only saw Kings and Knights games listed, and freaked out for a second.

Kinda lame that you can only get the games in your market, but I guess if you wanted to change your account zip code all the time, you could see whatever games you want to.

God dammit Girgensons is going to kill that line

Pilut should be in for bowluuuu. Know nothing of remi. Here’s to hoping.

The continued presence of Girgensons in general vexes me greatly.

Remember when he contributed? I think it was a Tuesday. What happened to Girgs? Thought he had potential.

Ick.

I would almost rather have Larsson on that line rather than Girgs. And Mittelstadt needs to swap with Berglund.

How would you change it?  Swapping Sheath and Skinner possibly?

It's that Mittelstadt line that is killing me. Casey, though inexperienced, has shown great playmaking ability. Girgensons is incapable of cashing in on anything that Casey will give him. It's a complete waste of Casey's talent. 

[SABRES 0311]

Sheary Eichel Reinhart 

Skinner Mitts KO

Rod Berglund Tage

Remi Girgs Pommer

A Mitts-Berglund switch would make those perfect IMO

It’s their logo just not their active one

But that monstrous combination of all three logos?  Trash.

The thought process pre-coffee this morning on the logo's wasn't that it was the logo but with the start of the new season it showed when both franchises started up. Sorry it ruined your day. 

You don't like it, volunteer to be the GDT man or better yet SIUYFA. Either way I was just trying to be of help.

jsb, with all due respect, I didn't mean a knock on you.  I guess my (pre-coffee) reasoning was, we moaned about getting the original logo with the blue & gold colors back.  It's a great logo, no need to embellish it.  And yeah, I'll take my turn at GDT starts.  I appreciate you stepping up.  (Just not crazy about the logo.)

I'll also mention that my AC is out so I'm a bit grouchy right now.

In any case, GO SABRES!!!  ??

Those lines have the potential for being atrocious. 

Swap Elie and Zemgus, swap Thompson and KO. 

I get that Wowie probably doesn’t want a line of all “youth” in Elie-Mitts-Tage, but so what.

Let Dahlin run. He will be a difference maker soon.

This.  I think the last few preseason games and against the Bruins Dahlin has been "held back".  Not sure if it's coaching or if it's Dahlin himself surveying the league.  I recall seeing him go toward the Bruin's net once during that game.  

His defensive decisions are solid, it seems, except when he makes an error with the puck.  I think some of it has to do with ice surface and Dahlin needing to get used to it.  There's one analysis of his game I read or saw, can't remember, where it was noted that after he gets the puck, he doesn't look at it.  I wonder if the smaller surface combined with the more aggressive play of the league chews up the ice surface and this is getting in the way of what Dahlin is used to doing.

I think I like any combination you two have offered and agree HCPH doesn't want an all-youth line.  That is where HCPH starts losing me and I wish we had a more aggressive, adventurous coach.
