… oh, and with the border open and  Edmonton and Toronto playing this weekend, we will have more fans in the stands for sure.  They might give it feel of a road game though. 

I think there are still issues with the border.

I could be wrong but I think we (Canadians) need a rapid test (COVID-19) before being allowed to return. This test costs over $100 so it makes it expensive for a day trip.

This may have changed but was the rule a week ago.

The first game this season where I can't imagine how the Sabres could possibly win.

 

 

Sabres 6, Eulers 5

That is still the case, but some US boarder towns are doing it for free to encourage people to come.

McDavid cries at the end

McDavid comes to town on the day Eichel has ADR surgery as a member of the Knights.    

Not sure what that means, but if somebody told you that 5 years ago....

Four in a row. Interesting.

Can’t watch, so good thing Dunleavy is great at play by play, I won’t miss a thing! 

It finally dawned me that the only explanation for Dan Dunleavy as voice of the Sabres is that the organization decided, perhaps going back to the start of the Pegula Era, that it would never again let its voice be so integral. You want to know what's happening? You want to be excited? Buy a ticket. It also calculated, IMHO, that not having a Rick would not hurt broadcast ratings.

Well at least we get their back up back up goalie (I think). Although they beat the Bruins, McDavid was pretty much held in check by them so I'd expect he puts up big numbers against us. 

Two games in a row here playing the big name offensive teams, see how we stack up to that. I suspect poorly. 

Superior PK and goaltending are our only (slim) chances.

Anderson is still out with an upper body injury, isn't he? I'm not ready to see Dell, yet.

If RJ was calling game I might listen in but can't take Dunleavy radio games.

Who in blazes is Tommer?

I was trying a thing. The thing failed.

Probably still cheaper than going to a Toronto game.

I'm going with a Sabres win.  Granato will have the boys motivated tonight.  Sabres 4, Oilers 3.

They are due to play with more motivation.  Some more players have to stand up and play better to end the losing streak. With Mitts and VO out this lineup probably cannot score enough goals.  I’d sure love to see us win this game and stop the losing.

Can’t imagine Dahlin gets matched against McDavid.

If his plays with Pysyk then I think he will be.

Yup. If Hagg-Pysyk were together, they'd be out against McDavid. But, I think it'll be an even blend of Hagg-Butcher and Dahlin-Pysyk against that line. 

Hey -- if Dahlin's ever going to learn to ignore the puck and stand up the guy (edit: on a rush) -- this is the player to learn against.
