GDT: Those dastardly Flyers V The Good Guys (7pm MSG) @ KBC

[steveoath]

First of a back to back with the flyers. Dahlin potentially a 50 pt player with a good weekend (this would equal Cam Atkinson's total point who is the flyers leader).

I am expecting Power's first goal this weekend. Best mate is Flyers fan, so we need 2 wins starting with tonight's game. 

Boo Flyers, Yay Sabres.

MOLECULAR  WEIGHT

[Pimlach]

Muscle Weight.  
 

Time to turn this around and beat the Flyers.  Clarke, Barber, Schultz, Salesski, Kelly, Dornhoffer, DuPont. I hated that team.

That team debased hockey until we got the Dead Puck Era -- not the goonery, but the clutch-and-grab.  Aside from 2005-7, the hook-and-hold has been the attitude of proper officiating and informs the "game managementt" of the current era.

Any time we beat the Flyers is a good one.  It is one of the reasons I was so thrilled when we ended our winless streak (using pre-2005 terminology) against them last season.

[Doohicksie]

Just ****ing win.

Am I allowed to admit I did like the ‘87 Flyers team that took Edmonton to seven games?

Risto revenge game.  Not sure for who…

[North Buffalo]

Ah just go out and beat the tire fires

5 out of the last 6 games remaining are against bad teams, not the way I wanted to finish the season. It seems like they never played the Bruins at all so hoping that something is still on the line for them when they meet up.

• This is the second of three meetings between the Sabres and Flyers this season. 
• Last meeting: Buffalo defeated Philadelphia 6-3 in Buffalo on Jan. 22.

I think we are starting to see confirmation that if Hayden, Bjork, Eakin, Miller and Pysyk have any future with Buffalo next year it will be as a spare part. They aren’t part of the experimenting, just filler rotating through.

It’s something we’ve been waiting for and needing for a long time. A page is turning.

I'd like to think that if these games mattered Pysyk would be playing

I might be a few beers in, but dammit I really like Kyle Okposo! 

Happy birthday.

If Samuelsson plays, I think the Sabres will bounce back with a nice W.

If not, it will depend on how hard Philly is running for the bus.

Oh, and I hate the Flyers.  

[French Collection]

Can’t watch this one, at the Sens game vs the Leafs.

My oldest lives in Ottawa and the family wanted to catch a game.

Blow Leafs blow!

C’mon Sabres, you can take those Flyers!

[erickompositör72]

The 8-0 playoff game vs the Flyers in 2001 will be an experience I'll never forget. 

I was 15, my brother was 18, and he said we'll go buy tickets from scalpers. The game was about to start... he said "don't worry, they'll be cheapest if we get them after the game starts."

We got row 4 for $30ea. A playoff game! I felt like I was close enough to reach out and touch Donald Audette when he scored that bar-down slapshot.

Incredible memory. Beat the Flyers!

Don’t like seeing Bjork in there. Or Butcher.  Hayden played a decent game too.  I don’t get it.

Massive Wrath

LETS GO BUFFALO

I went to that game too.  I over-rate it as the 10th greatest Sabres game of all time because I found it so satisfying because Bobby Clarke was GM and Bill Barber was Head Coach.

[That Aud Smell]

It is always a fine time to whoop the Flyers.

Let’s go, Buffalo!!
