Has there been an announcement?

I would play UPL until he cools off.  Back to back be damned.  He's in good shape and young and strong like bull.

[French Collection]

Back to back games will be tough but the mood has to be good.

Maybe Fitzy slots in and provides a spark.

Dahlin continues his good play with a couple points.

[Claude Balls]

Keep it goin boys.....

 

[MBD]

Start UPL.  Even on a B2B, he's still better than the other stiffs.  He can rest after the game.

[Pimlach]

Go Sabres.  

I do not like anything about the Penguins. 

UPL needs a rest.  Hope Joker is ready. 

Malcolm Widdle.

No announcement to my knowledge -- it just seems logical with 3 games in 4 nights, late travel last night, losing an hour with the time zone change, etc.

Besides, the Sabres are a juggernaut now!  It seems only fair to give the Penguins a bit of an easier night with Malcolm in the middle.

Separately, I think Vinnie H. might be their best forward right now.

I'm still pulling for Okposo with that but Vinnie has been surprisingly useful the last stretch here.

Sidenote on Okposo. He is on pace for 54points which would be the most he's had since becoming a Sabres although it would not be his best ppg.

The Sabres have had their ups and downs this season, obviously so. But throughout this season there has been no player who has been as consistently good as he has been. In good and bad games he is always working and grinding. And as you indicate his offense has increased much of it due to his effort. It appears that his style of play has positively influenced Cozens. Okposo's stats don't reveal how important he is to this team. 

[Thorner]

Still angry about Darius 

[Bangarang]

Should be a tough game. Our boys played really hard and fast last night so I hope they don’t come out flat.

Subban needs to channel his inner UPL so we can sweep this road trip.

Tonight will really test the cosmic power of the GIF.

Uncle, Dad, Grandpa in the back? I feel like the apple didn't fall far from the tree there.

[Thorner]

It’s a funny gif but most people aren’t born with that level of rhythmic coordination 

[SABRESfan]

Back to back nights.. the legs will be an issue.  It doesn’t look too good I’m afraid.  I don’t expect a win but if we squeak one out somehow, some way I will be ecstatic!  
 

GO SABRES GO!

I've been saying that for years.

I won’t give shittsburgh the clicks.  I hate the Steelers and their fans so much, I don’t want any algorithms thinking I am concerned about what happens in that city.  Hope it all falls into a hole in the Earth.  ***** them, their teams and their city. 

Thought I’d put this in the proper thread

I was there, Darth. I was there - 3000 years ago. I was there, when the strength of the buffalo-men failed. For a long time, we were scattered, divided, leaderless.

But it is in the new buffalo-men that we must place our hope.

I knew who.  I just can’t keep straight what all the kids are hating on these days.  I thought all our hate was still directed at Carolina because they, get this, beat the Sabres in the playoffs.

We crossed our Dariuii.

Don't cross the Dariuii. It would be bad.
