GDT: Buffalo Sabres @ New York Rangers 7:00 PM ESPN+, MSG, WGR550

Alright. Let's do this again.

Lots to like last game.

Still a lot to prove this game. Rangers are good with a good goalie. Most likely not going to get those cheap ones tonight.

I'm going to be at an Autism fundraiser down near Philly, so I'll actually get to stream it on ESPN+ in a hotel room. Hopefully not too far behind live.

I just want to be entertained.

LFG!!!!

They need to play at the level they played on Tuesday and let the chips fall where they may. Are they better than the Rangers? Probably not, but they are fully capable of winning this game.  Maybe we will look back in April and this will be the game that changed the franchise.

Get another win

If Ruff changes the lineup for non-injury reasons, especially on defense, his speeches about accountability are BS. 

These were the lines at practice yesterday:

I loved how the Sabres pummelled the Sens all night. It made Ottawa look over their shoulder all game. Make the Rangers do the same.

The Rangers have quickly become one of my least favorite teams based solely on the presence of NYC fanboi Chris Drury.  Can’t stand the guy.

They just beat another Vezina winner, keep it going.

This is a good test of whether they are buying into Lindy’s tactics. They need to bring that intensity and win or lose, we will appreciate the effort.

Let's try and get this thing to overtime and if they do get smoked, I really hope they play as physical as they did on Tuesday.

Without going too far down the rabbit hole, this has been the most frustrating part of a big part of the draught and Adams tenure. They go periods, and sometimes games looking like they just aren't even trying. 

If they were a mediocre 89 point, try hard team every year for the last 13 years the arena would still be filled.

I hope after scouting our game against the Sens that the Rangers start Rempe and have players like Trouba come out physical to see if they can get us to back down. Throw everything at us. Let’s see our mettle.

I had the same thought.

Will the Rangers read about the Big, Bad Buffalo coming for them and say, "We've got to call up Rempe from the A because if not, Greenway will check Panarin through the glass." Will the Rangers pull a Dalton Smith?

(But then I kind of dismissed the thought. I think the Rangers have confidence in their team's abilities [they've got two games in hand and a 6-point lead in the standings over the Sabres] and aren't intimidated by this team at all.)

Can't wait to see which version of this team shows up tonight. Hopefully it's the one that played against Ottawa.
