Any enthusiasm for this? Matinee game back home today.

I'd like to see Risto/Pilut combination on D. Hopefully a good performance is due.

Honestly? No 

[Sabre1974]

Always enthusiasm for this team. Do enjoy the 6pm UK time games. 

[CallawaySabres]

I would much rather see kings, habs, and anaheim win. Jeff and Victor, feel free to take as much time as you want to fully heal.

Don't want to think about another high pick this year but looks like that will be the case come draft time. 

[Pimlach]

Not much enthusiasm for this at all.  Other than Eichel I don’t really like the product on the ice. Skinner is out.  Dahlin has been quiet. Reinhart is not an impact player.  The team is blah. 
 

I have a 2:00 Memorial Service to attend.  Today’s is blah.

I love 1 o’clock games agains Vancouver.

[Cityo'Rasmii]

Brew some fresh eSpresso maybe??

[Wyldnwoody44]

I have a lazy Saturday to myself, a rare beaut. Do I want to ruin it with 3 hours of what the Sabres call "hockey" 

 

I'm not so sure 

[Curt]

Vancouver is in the middle of a 5 game road trip.  They have been out scored 14-4 in the first 2 games.

Im predicting a 3-1 Sabre’s win this afternoon.  Goals by Okposo, Reinhart  and Ike with the EN.

This pivotal game will define the season.

I've never heard this before.....is this a Don Cherry quote? Craig Rivet? Darren Dreger?

Huh?  I think it's pretty clear that happened back in November.  This season is now about finding direction for the future.

He needs to play well.  Period.  This is a pivotal game for him.

Does Rodrigues play?

[WildCard]

5-3 win today

[LTS]

I'll catch a little before driving to Batavia for a varsity hockey game at 3pm.

I love hockey, so I don't mind so much.  But I mean, I'm not going out of my way to watch the Sabres at this point.  They are what they are and with the injuries they are less than what they were.

I hope they do well, as always, but it's their game is not compelling enough to make me change plans.

[Zamboni]

It’s about freakin time Hutton gets a game.... hope he looks good.

Huh. Hutton didn't get to face STL, and instead of getting another Ullmark on a Saturday (4-0-1 this season, with the OT loss being Vancouver)...   This is my first goalie gripe this season. Maybe a bit too much workload for Ullmark, but he's earned this workload.

But --- feed Hutton to the defending champs on the road, but against his old team. The Ullmark on Saturday at home, which has been good to us.

Bogo hasn't done anything this season. Not a heavy hit, not a benefit to the PK (as were his strengths in past seasons). Rodriques is the 16th F at this point. I'm hoping it's Wilson - Lazar - Asplund on the 4th if Vesey's gonna get another chance with Jack and Samson.
