GDT: Buffalo Sabres @ LA Kings 10:30 PM ESPN+, MSG, WGR550

[WhenWillItEnd66]

This is not going to be an easy road trip. All 3 teams are playing well. I am just hoping for 3 out of 6 points on this trip and i think they will be lucky to get that.

3 out of 6 points will just drop them even lower lower in the standings. Win 2 out of 3 or don't come home at all. Maybe someday teams will actually look at Buffalo and say that we are playing well.

This isn't a playoff team and Adams is a stupid idiot just like his master Terry Pegula. The sooner Pegula sells the Sabres and moves to Florida the better, he will never learn and he will continue to run this team into the dirt. I think Buffalo probably wins a few games on this trip but it won't be enough. They are an 85pt team and unless UPL goes Haske mode. It doesn't matter. 

I imagine this reading your post.

I never wear jerseys anymore, but the white anniversary is one badass tarp.

[CallawaySabres]

Blue Allen for sure! And throw away that Eichel one, yuk.

50% chance of winning tonight.

Whoever started, named and continues to push this narrative is a moron.  Every Sabres game from October-April is after dark.

 

Absolutely going to be pedantic here and let you know that while these are the dark ages of Sabres history, the games in the afternoon I would consider before dark. 🙂

I'm also surprised that it bothers you, I would have figured you for the connoisseur of "After Dark" programming potentially beginning with Cinemax After Dark on Friday Nights.. 😉

Huh.  I thought it would be the other way around.

According the DailyFaceoff, the Sabres line up this way:

JJP - McLeod - Tuch
Benson - Cozens - Lafferty
Zucker - Kulich - Quinn
Malenstyn - Krebs - NAK

Dahlin - Byram
Power - Joki
Bryson - Clifton

UPL (Reimer)

Has anyone seen anything about practice lines?  Is this accurate?

If these lines hold, points of interest (to me anyway): 

• Lafferty on the Cozens line... strange but let's see how it works.
• Kulich at center

So there's an even chance for an outcome that makes people happy, whatever that outcome may be.

[PerreaultForever]

So those lines look like the old spread everything out and roll all 4 strategy rather than having one good one bad. idk I really don't like the look of Zucker-Kulich-Quinn. 

They've had good road trips before, but LA is playing pretty good hockey. Not an easy game.

The Away White is their best jersey ever, and will match the team. 

Maybe you can fill in for Greenway?   We really missed him against the heavy game of Philly and we need him tonight too.

I like JJP back on line 1. 

Not sure about Lafferty on line 2.   Prefer Quinn in hopes he gets going.  

Kulich at C and playing with Quinn is risky.   Maybe Lindy sees something or maybe it is all he has?  

Glad to see Joker back and hoping he wakes up.  

Bryson with Cliffy has been decent on the past.  

UPL is the key to getting points in this game.  

[msw2112]

I'm out west and welcome the late start.  In the age of cell phones, smart watches, TVs in every gym, bar, and restaurant, satellite radio in the car, and the internet on my desk at work, It's a challenge to avoid spoilers when the game starts at 4:00 PM and I can't watch for several hours.

[Wyldnwoody44]

Man, after watching what Josh Allen did on Sunday, and watching that team play with so much heart and moxy. It's kinda hard to watch this pathetic team go through the motions. 

Good luck sabres, you've officially become an afterthought

So... looks like Rosén took Tuch's spot on line rushes but will sit when Tuch plays.

[pastajoe]

I would have played Rosen with Kulich and sat Quinn. They have chemistry.

Still no electricity (LIMITED POWER!) back on the homestead. Silly bomb cyclone might have me miss the game tonight.
