If it’s MSG or ESPN+ etc … please add broadcast info to title 😬

 

Buffalo Wings … 5

Red Wings … 3

 

Krebs, Skinner, or Dahlin with a goal 

 

TNT will get on the board too!  

[Dreams Burn Down]

I haven't been this excited about the Sabres since the fall of 2005 when we were coming out of the lockout.

We'll weather an early onslaught tonight to win in OT, 4-3.  JJP, Tuch, Dahlin, and Tage with a goal each.

Power needs to be with Lube Man.

That's all.

Clague is what we oldtimers call a "diamond in the rough."

No game in 10 days, no practice in a week?  Not exactly a formula for success tonight. Never wanted to be more wrong about anything though. 

Given the emotional side of it, the impact to the community, and hopefully a loud and electric crowd, this could be a classic game. 

I am excited.  My wife just told me to get out of the house and go to the driving range.  So, I will take her advice and head out at noon.

The boys will be rusty but the enthusiasm will carry them to a convincing win.

6-2 Sabres.

The kid line does most of the damage with Dahlin getting 3 points.

Is Clague moving up in the hockey world? 
 

That would be great if he has become a good nhl d man 

[Mustache of God]

This city could use a win and it feels like our teams usually pull out big wins after the city has a tough time. Let's go!

[Crusader1969]

Wait!  Fitz and Bryson are the bottom pair with Lyubushkin sitting?    
If Boosh is healthy, this is definitely a surprise that’s Fitz would play over him

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out who's sitting.

I was at the game after the plane crash in Clarence (win over Anaheim), and I remember fondly the Sabres beating the ***** out of the Flyers after the October storm.  Tonight should be an EVENT.

I was at the game after the plane crash too, and it was something! But I thought it was SJ? Pommer scored with only a few seconds left to win it and the building was almost shaking. So awesome.

If Bryson is playing now, does he slot up to Pilut's spot?

That would make the most sense.

Bryson needs to sit... no coincidence they went 4-0 on the road trip with him out of the lineup.

Practice?  Practice?  Cmon man...what are we talking about here?  We talking about practice man...practice!  Not the game...not the actual game...we talking about practice!

This is what concerns me about the Sabres tonight.

Me too. The rest was certainly needed but I fear the first period or two can look like it's the Sabres first exhibition game of the season. I hope I'm wrong. Just in case, hang tough for 30 or 40 minutes then dominate the third. 

In any event, glad to have Sabres hockey back. And really glad to hear the reports that the community is starting to recover from this mess.

....and the Red Wings played last night.  Could be a rough first.

Mandolin Wind

Oh the snow fell, without a break
Buffalo died, in the frozen fields you know
Through the snowiest winter, in almost 45 years.

He was a second round pick so it’s not exactly like he came outta nowhere
