Something, something, MUST WIN!

I'm at the end of my last night shift for this month

[Sabres Fan in NS]

LOL!!

Finally someone listened to my pleading.

With Washington coming up a few times and those dastardly so and so's from Bastaan this is really a must win.

Congrats on the ending of the night shift.  Great start to kick this one off.

These guys are very beatable, but lets not do it OT, please.  I want to see a big win in every aspect of the game and a full 60 minutes effort.

What is the status of Huttsie?

MUST WIN!!

GO SABRES!!

I thought Brad Richards had retired long ago.

Alex G. (the Ruskie) is still out.  OEL is still awesome.

That's it.

The winning streak* will continue tonight!

 

I'd like to see them move Sheary down to the third line and Tage back up. I feel like our second line was finally starting to click with Mitts, OK and Tage, and they've been silent with Sheary. We need more secondary scoring and we can't rely on our checking line to put up 2 like they did against the Kings.

 

 

*Does winning 1 game constitute a streak? I vote yes. Especially because it's going to 2 tonight!

[Sabres Fan in NS]

I am an idiot, as per my edit to the Dogs lineup post.

NS Youve been a busy beaver this morning.

Go Sabres

[LawnWranglers]

First time poster, long time admirer.  Two out of the next three would be a huge boost.  Win tonight and a split over the weekend road trip goes a long way towards erasing the recent rough patch.

Let’s go, Buffalo!

We love our Beavers.  It's out National Animal (I think?  Can someone confirm?).

Nice to have one of my admirers finally get up enough nerve to post.  Don't be shy.

R. Dahlin scored his 1st NHL goal the last time these teams played with assists from Skinner and Rodrigues

THIS DAY IN SABRES HISTORY

• The Sabres are 8-10-3 all-time on December 13.
• December 13, 1972: The Sabres defeat the Boston Bruins 7-3 in a game which featured 154 penalty minutes, including 76 by the Sabres alone. Among the penalties was the infamous fight that featured Sabres defenseman Jim Schoenfeld crashing through the zamboni doors with Bruins forward Wayne Cashman.
• December 13, 2008: Thomas Vanek scores the 10,000th goal in franchise history in a 4-2 win at New Jersey.

  SAM I AM

• Sam Reinhart enters tonight’s game on a career-best seven-game point streak (5+5), topping his previous career high of five games set from Dec. 20 to 29, 2017. It’s the third-longest active streak in the NHL, trailing only Mikko Rantanen and Alex Ovechkin (12 games each) and ties as the longest by a Sabre this season.
• Reinhart has recorded 23 points (8+15) in his last 23 games, including eight two-point games during that stretch. With eight multi-point games through 31 games played this season, he is two shy of his career-high 10 in a season.
• The Sabres are 13-3-2 this season when Reinhart records at least one point and 25-3-5 (.833) in his career when he records at least two.
•  
• HOME COOKING
  Buffalo enters tonight’s game with a 10-3-2 (.733) record at home this season. The team’s .733 points percentage at home tied for fifth in the NHL entering play Wednesday and puts the Sabres on pace for their sixth-best home record ever, and the best since the 1979-80 season (27-5-8, .775).HOME COOKING

The rest of us are working off regular strength coffee and he has that super Bosnian brew keeping him on high alert.

Has any Sabre received the 3 fighting major game misconduct since Schoeny did 46 years ago today?

I'd be surprised if any NHL player received that in the last 20 years, let alone a Sabres player. Gone are the days of the pugilists.
