Thank God Riley's OK.

LGR it's a good day. You go get some Joe and bask.

[Indabuff]

Let's ***** go!

Yea... trade the F out of Olofsson. I can't do it anymore, if he isn't scoring he's more useless than a poopy flavored lollipop.

So, no Stillman..... not a good thing

Can we please sign a defensive defenseman that does not "Break" every time they hit or fight??? 

[Eleven]

Sitting Jost in favor of Olofsson while Samuelsson and Stillman are out doesn't seem ideal.  I guess Granato really must be planning on out-scoring the Oilers.

Further evidence that what you did last game doesn't seem to matter much to Donnie when he's deciding who sits.

[WhenWillItEnd66]

I have to say, if the Sabres make the playoffs with all of this going on, i am going to be super impressed getting through the adversity.

Well, there really isn't another solution with the people out.

probably better than trying to hold them under 3 goals

[John Tucker]

So this means another game with Clague and Bryson?!?!?

With Those Dmen out - you kind of have to? Hino's been playing well and i don't know how greenway fits there.  Might have just put him on the vet line because its a fairly simple game on that line.  Pucks go forward, they go behind the net, and you finish your checks.

I don't understanding sitting Jost. Am I missing something?

[steveoath]

You cannot preach a culture of earning the right to play, then sit a contributor while playing a non-factor like Olofsson.

Hoping he knows something that we do not.....

I don't get it either. I still would give VO a box view/refresh tonight and then bring him back in vs. NYI and let JJP get a breather that game.

Missing Muel is going to be tough. But the Sabres won in EDM early this season with only 5 D after Boushh made his shot-block that knocked him off his game for 8 weeks (we're all pretty much agreeing it was some form of a broken foot, right?). It was the game that Boushh killed (cleanly!) Dylan Holloway.

The disparity between the home record with the goat head retros and the royal blues is something I can no longer ignore. Irrational as it is, it seems there's enough of a sample size to infer that the team plays better when wearing the black goat heads.

Hopefully they can buck the trend tonight.
