GDT - Sabres @ Washington - December 15, 2018 - 7:00 PM

[IKnowPhysics]

Must win.

[Wyldnwoody44]

The Sabres will go to the nation's capital, and not to make America great again, at least not for the home team. They will be rendered victorious tonight. 

 

After the game the Sabres will go full Mel Gibson with half blue paint slathered on their faces, as they roll horseback down the streets of Buffalo, Dahlin will disembark his horse on chippewa and do a beer funnel only a true Nordic God can handle. In the background, risto will be carrying a metal buffalo on his back that he stole off the I190, and Mitts will be hitting on Pominvilles wife..... Successfully. 

 Let the prophecy be foretold

I understand this with his history of being a terrible person on the ice, at least.

This I do not agree with and is bad form.  Why would you want a Sabre to stoop to his level?

This is an even worse take.

This may not be as bad, but I will assume you mean in Campbell and Umberger kind of way.

If he gets to Eichel before Bogo gets to him i don’t think anyone will worry about how low you gotta go. 

He knows he just received a concussion. If Wilson goes head hunting we return the favor. Last time we didn’t turned out real well.

However a well placed hit early on might make him think twice.

I dunno. Mitts kinda has a face only a mother could love. But hey maybe he hits on Pominville himself and is successful.

Hopefully someone can cool off Ovi, just read he’s got back to back hat tricks... my goodness he’s an elite goal scorer.

Well, with Berglund leading our shutdown line.... um.... never mind.

[SABRES 0311]

This might be one of those games where both teams score a ton. Ovi over the years seems to only involve himself in play when there’s a scoring opportunity. The guy really just sits on the dot like a statue during the PP until the one-timer comes.

i only see one way to avoid it and that’s play disciplined, no penalties. Let Wilson give us PPs. 

Risto’s ice time hopefully matches Ovechkin’s. 

[Sabel79]

Kind of hoping Risto does that thing he’s done a couple times before and just cancels Ovechkin all night.   It’s fun to watch when he pulls it off.  

[Andrew Amerk]

I predict at some point, there is a turnover between Ovi and Dahlin, which leads to a goal for one of them. 

[Beer]

One... Two... We want THREE!

[Beer]

Just saw Hunwick recalled for the game.  Does he start over Tennyson or sit with Ellie?

He better.

I don't think that other guy is playing anyway ...

The two of them definitely mix it up vigorously and frequently.  Looking forward to seeing that.

Very likely.

 

Separately:  AO, at age 33, has 28 freaking goals in 31 freaking games!

Sam called him tank the other night, I see a canny resemblance to the narrator from the rocky horror picture show... neither has a neck:

Well lets see how our favorite team stacks up against the SC winner. Caps play a fast physical game and we get Boston in less than 24 hours who also play a fast heavy game. 

16 back to backs second most in the league behind only the 17 played by Canes and panthers. I don't like NHL schedule makers... 

Anyway my concern is staying healthy in these two back to back games. Play smart  play hard and watch out for the dirty plays. 

Didn't see who is in goal , my guess Hutton gets today Linus tomorrow.

Hope to see Scandella back today or tomorroww or Hunwick anything but Tenneyson Please.

Lets' Go Buff-a-lo..Show us what you got.

[Pimlach]

According to the Coach, Scandella is in today, who is out is a game day decision. Hunwick will skate in pregame warmup. 

 

Hunwicked looked good in Rochester according to the staff.

Would expect Hunwick to sit; guess we'll know who does soon.

[bunomatic]

It'll be interesting to see if we can slow down Alexovi Onetimerov. 

[Sabel79]

Is Pilut hurt?  Reading disturbing dispatches that he's not on the ice for warmups and Tennyson is... 

[Sabel79]

Update: *****.

 

[Stoner]

Damn. I forgot to thank Terry for ponying up for Brian Duff's laughing gas.

Housley said we may see Hunwick tomorrow.    I say hopefully in for Tennyson.  

Sad to Pilot out, he must be hurt or sick. 

I want to see Scandella have a good game and play like he did last year   Really need that with McCabe still out.  Caps are strong and fast.
