Detroit at Sabres, 11 February 2020, 7 PM MSG

[Marvin]

Going to the game in a red, white, and blue tie-dyed turban and wearing a name sticker with "Dh'waengnh".  I liked the Sanskrit letters "dh" and the full-tongued "n" mixed with the Gaelic ae ligature.  It is a fun way to misspell "Duane" as people suggested.

Gonna get a giant spaghetti Parm at chefs, and then head over to watch the skating dead. I'm sure the Pasta will be the highlight of the evening.

Butterknives is generous. I'm thinking more like plastic disposable cutlery.

You guys don’t get it? If opponents think we suck then they might be more likely to play their backup goalie. Maybe they overlook us and don’t try as hard. It’s all part of the plan. 

5-1 Cerebral Sabres

Oh that's definitely happening, although I don't think Detroit takes anyone lightly, but we haven't faced a team that took us seriously since the allstar break (if not earlier). We've tossed away a bunch of what should have been easy points in this last stretch, so they're not wrong to take us lightly in the least.

I try to take it lightly but I am pretty tired of no playoff hockey. How many GMs and coaches does it take to change a lightbulb? Sabres could easily make this an enjoyable game.

don't most teams play their backup against us and still win....and opponents know we suck

Detroit played us last week and beat us.

Then they beat Boston. So we are Boston. Shut up, fans.

[LGR4GM]

There is no excuse to lose this game other than getting outplayed because half of our forwards are trash at creating offense and our goaltending is piss poor. Overcome. 

[CallawaySabres]

I wish we played playoff teams the rest of the way....

The same ones from the last game... although at least Johansson is back.

I think it's nice that the Pegula daughters named their restaurant after Bogosian.

[Palm Trees And Taxes]

Skinner on the 3rd line?

Johansson-Lazar-Sheary .... Lazar is a former 1st round pick.  Is there any chance he could grow into the 2C roll, or at least hold it down until Cozens is ready?  Is Johansson at wing where he should have been all along?  And why not stick Skinner on that line, just to see if we can get some offensive production?

He did have a featured menu item for a while 

Pilut will be a healthy scratch as well

Let me guess....

It was overcooked limp pasty pasta on a cracked dish that was over priced and was only available half the season?

 

If you where really lucky another patron would trade you a 2c for it ?

I recently learned that the way to cut brownies without tearing them up is by using a disposable plastic knife.  (My daughter makes outstanding brownies and we will sometimes bring a plate over to someone's house.)

Separately, if the Sabres get blown out at home by a crappy team again, JB might not last until the trade deadline.  So that's exciting.

There's no way we lose this game.

[WildCard]
