Porous Five Hole Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 I’m stuck at BNA waiting for my parents to arrive to then drive home to Rochester. So, I had some time. The Sabres (16-21-5) open a three-game homestand against the Seattle Kraken (17-22-3) at 4 p.m. on Saturday. It will be Kids Takeover Day at KeyBank Center, with young fans assuming roles such as junior reporter, in-arena host, and more. Mattias Samuelsson remained absent from the Buffalo Sabres’ practice at KeyBank Center on Friday due to an illness and is not expected to play against the Seattle Kraken on Saturday, coach Lindy Ruff said. Beck Malenstyn, who has missed the past two games, was back on the ice for practice but remains questionable for Saturday’s game. “I would say low on energy,” Ruff said. “Got to make a decision on him.” If Malenstyn does remain out against the Kraken, the Sabres could opt to stick with the 11-forward, seven-defenseman lineup that played in Ottawa on Saturday. The benefit of the 11-7 split, Ruff explained, is extra minutes for the middle-six forwards – which can lead to more of a rhythm in their game. Go Sabres ⚔️ 1 Quote
PerreaultForever Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 Fast team but struggles to score. Even game. Quote

Dreams Burn Down Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 Won 3, lost 13, won 3, lost 3, now won 2. I'm desperately searching for avenues of interest with this franchise. I'll go with symmetry and say we win 5-4 in OT. Quote

They're going to win the 3rd today, lose 3 in a row, win 31 in a row, then lose 3. 8 Quote

DarthEbriate Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 Is there some local logic/conflict why this game isn't at 1 PM ET/10 AM PT or its usual 7 PM ET/4 PT time slot? Right in the middle of the day is going to throw a little bit of a wrench in my day's planning. C'mon, schedulers! 1 Quote

The arena had to switch over from the Bandits game last night, so perhaps 1pm was too soon, and it’s Kid’s Take Over day so perhaps they didn’t want it too late for little kids. 1 Quote

JohnC Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 Let's just win this game and walk away with a taste of positivity. Being negative is exhausting. 2 Quote
LTS Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 It's kids day. Our team full of kids should do just fine. These odd time starts can throw teams off... somehow I feel it might throw the Sabres off more than the Kraken. Quote

Wyldnwoody44 Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 Sabres or wild card playoffs... Hmm A few of my foreign friends have given up on following this team for the season. Not with it staying up late to watch the train wreck. I have also kinda quit caring. I post on here a little, but as for following the team and making sure the games are on (whether home or at work)... That interest has dwindled sadly. Kudos to everyone that still has the energy to be here and remain all in. Quote
Spoonman Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 We are all of us on SabreSpace caring too much & are in the bottom of our collective cups (no not Lord Stanley’s). Yea! We while away the years watching this team (with renewed hope every year). Yearly before the winter solstice we are beaten down once again as continue to wither away and then die. TIS OVER THEN YOU SAY?! Nay says I !!! The cruelty of our fandom continues while the worms 🪱, maggot’s, & cockroaches 🪳covering out deceased form feast until we are nothing but bones. Yea! Hear me! TIS FINALLY OVER SAY YOU! NAY AGAIN! Slowly are our bones 🦴 💀then CRUSHED to dust over the seasons & this same frightful fandom we have. Until….. All we are is dust in the wind. GO SABRES! 💀💙💛 1 1 Quote
