Brawndo Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 There is an Air Canada Flight from Vancouver to Toronto that lands at 2pm. I hope Montour is on it. 1 Quote

SabresBaltimore Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 I hated that Rob Ray was talking up our great effort in our shootout loss to Tampa on Thursday, but we came out looking really good against the Caps. Tampa is the best team in the league, but at this point we need wins, not just garbage points. Tonight's game will be that much more important. Plus I hate the Leafs and would love to beat them in their own barn. Hopefully Montour makes it in.. Quote

SABRES 0311 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 I’m calling it now. Ray and/or RJ call him Minotaur. 3 Quote
ExWNYer Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 Have they said whether or not Montour would be available for this game? Would love to have him out there against the tree litterers as a little added salt in the wound. ? Quote

LGR4GM Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 I hope there is a morning skate. Would give us a small insight into other possible moves. Quote

apuszczalowski Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 Might be a good time to catch the leaves who have fallen in their last few games...... Quote
R_Dudley Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 The team has said it and then so will I. Must win ! This is the division rivalry team to beat. Since the Tampa game the team is playing with Confidence. I would like to see someone punk Mr. Marleau for that boarding he did to Jack previous game. Oh yeah i haven't forgot and and I think that might be the base injury that jack has been playing though since. Paging the raging Mr. Bogosian, please report as the disciplinarian, tonight. So does anyone have a hat trick in him tonight? Doesn't matter to me as long as the good guys win.. Lets Go Buffalo. Win one on the road. 2 Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 Need another win! Would be super awesome if we are seeing the beginning of a hot streak that carries us into the post season and to...well, as far as they go. 1 Quote
That Aud Smell Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 Gotta dig this one out for tonight. 3 Quote

If this was the WWE he would come out as a surprise with entrance music and the announcers going batty. Sadly, I think nothing of the sort will occur tonight. ? 2 hours ago, LGR4GM said: I hope there is a morning skate. Would give us a small insight into other possible moves. I would expect guys like Beaulieu would be extra skaters in anticipation of being in trade discussions. But yes, if any other "odd" lineup moves happen they may be indications of other trade talks. I love trade deadline day... Quote
CallawaySabres Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 I would take a point right now and then a win against Philly tomorrow. I hope to see a lot of hatred on the ice tonight and think that our goalie will have to steal a point or two against these guys. Too bad Montour is not playing..... Quote

Brawndo Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 Sabres say he is most likely not playing tonight Will wear 62 Quote
ExWNYer Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 Disappointing that he won't play but, oh well. He's on the way. Quote
New Guy Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 Will you guys anticipate/want Hutton back in net again? He's obviously been great the last two games and his stats against Toronto are good Quote
