Mustache of God

The board seems to be over-reacting to the presence of Larsson in tonight's line-up, but, as a discussion board what other avenue do we have aside from picking apart every detail? My level-headed lukewarm take of the day will be "win or lose, Larssons presence in the line-up will not be responsible for the outcome of the game." In my eyes he's no different than Sobotka or Elie. Do I want him on the roster? No, but I'm not about to crucify Phil for giving him a game at the beginning of the season.

Same here. I know it's early but this is a big game for the team to make the statement "we're not Sabres form last year". Last year, anytime a "big" game came up they came out flat and lifeless and wouldn't show any push until the 3rd when it was too late. I'm really hoping for the opposite of that. Last year it took them 12 games to hit 3 wins, I'd like to see them hit that mark in 4 games. Go Sabres.

I hope Larsson scores twice tonight.

Is Larsson more effective on that line than Nylander?

If Casey & Tage are being relegated to the 4th line they should be in Rochester.

Marty Biron saying Larsson slotting in on the 3rd line tonight.....?

I imagine they'd send down Tennyson since he's already cleared waivers? You then carry 2 extra forwards and make them compete for ice time.

What would a reasonable to above average return look like for Shady at this point in his career? I have no idea how football trades work and what round of the draft has what value.

The worst way to start a season is 0-10. This can all be (mostly) forgiven with a win tomorrow and inspired play thereafter. I'm not ready to light my hair on fire and start screaming about doomsday yet but yesterday was pretty damn sobering. Hopefully there's a response.

On the bright side, maybe we can have another poll to see who scores the Sabres first goal?

This comment has brought me more entertainment than the game through 2 periods.

Rob Ray's chin is becoming another entity into itself

Was Doug Allen not available?

pic, but enjoying a homemade Manhattan in Brooklyn. Let's go sabres!

THERE HE IS! OFFICIALLY GAME TIME NOW!

30 minutes now! Let's go BUFFALO!

One more hour! Let's get it going!

Perhaps Zemgus will score the first of his 26 7 goals tonight.

I hope someone from the Sabres taunts the Bruins bench tonight after going up by at least 5 goals.

My normal instinct would be to see that the Bruins got their cheeks waxed last night and think, "Oh, they're gonna rebound hard and come out hungry." Fork that line of thought. I wan the Sabres to start fast and hard and not stop. Break the Bruins tonight. Get going early and run up the points. I voted for Jack to open up the scoring for us this season. Seems appropriate. 7pm can't come soon enough!

Rasmus "Brawlin'" Dahlin.

Captain Jack's gonna make that goal horn go BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! 1st shift. 1st shot. Lets do it!

I used to like watching the game like that before understanding the effects of CTE and seeing players killing themselves as a result. Nowadays I can't see a hit like that without thinking "I hope he's not dealing with that for the rest of his life", kinda sucks the fun out of that part. I like the suspension. The hit alone isn't worth 20 games but it's Wilson's track record and I'm all for that. I never want to see any of our players laid out like that.

next year Pominville, Larsson and Girgensons will definintely be gone as well. Will be interested to see what Jbots does next off-season, although the focus will no doubt to be to upgrade the D core.

Bogo with an A....hopefully he plays more than 18 games. I wonder if there's still bad blood with the way he exited his last role here? Either way...he should have made it into that video, Ruff also as he's a huge piece of this team's history.
