If the Isles try and go full trap I hope the Sabres ruin their home/season opener for their fans.

 

Jokiharju will likely trip himself up and give the Isles a breakaway…

How is it a trap?   The isles have a better team, they made the playoffs, they have excellent goaltending, and they are the home team.  
 

The Sabres should be considered underdogs almost every night.  They are not proven at all, especially with a rookie goaltender.  

Next step for us?

Spring the trap

I assume the islanders still play the choke everything off and try to win 1-0 game so if they dictate play it'll be BORING.

PP is key against teams like this. Maybe they can have an opening night stinker like we had.

Hopefully the importance of the first goal isn’t lost on DG and he sends the boys out guns blazing

This is going to be an ugly ugly night. Team that looks completely out of shape and has no idea what to do when confronted by the trap vs a team whose entire identity is based on it. 4-1 loss with Okposo getting our lone goal.

I really hope you're wrong but I must confess, I have a similar feeling. And if the Sabres go to 0-2 to start the season, I can't see the month of October being too kind, as this is one of the easier opponents to start this season.

Have to win this game as I do not want to see this team at home winless. I could see this season unwind before it even gets going. 
Absolutely have to get 1st goal tonight and focus on the defensive part our our game.

I think it's critical we take the lead. 2-0 would be nice then they have to open up to score. Then we exploit that.  

I'm picking the Sabres to do just that and be up then get a late one to win 4-1.

Is the game running late? What is this?

Nice to see our defenseman hit.  Johnson on Lee is a heavy weight smack.
