Mustache of God

Right, but the Winnipeg game galvanized this team. Things will be different now. Call me Mulder because I WANT TO BELIEVE!

A little off topic to the game thread but how to waiver claims work? If a team claims Grant can they send him straight to the AHL or would have have to remain in the NHL in order for them to claim him?

I think with Ennis on the cusp of returning the Sabres had to make a choice between Grant or Bailey. I think it's obvious Grant has maxed out his NHL potential while Bailey hopefullly can continue to grow.

He really over committed to thinking Laine was shooting. It was a terrible pass and there was enough to for hime to get over.

A true solider of Buffalo sportsdom.

I'm holding out for the time when Derek Grant centers a line between ROR & COR. The Legion of Who?

Per P.Ham's twitter "Nillson in net. Lehner could play but has some minor bumps and bruises from his last few starts"

Jack Eichel is Scott Norwoods illegitimate son.

What would happen if Pegula fired Bylsma without consulting Murray? I'd love to see the follow up presser from GMTM.

Reading some of his quotes in the BN articles posted here I don't think he's going to let em fly: “You don’t want to go chance-for-chance with the teams that we’re playing here,” Bylsma said in KeyBank Center. “You don’t want to go offense-for-offense or run-and-gun. You do have to limit what they get by how you play with the puck. That’s a focus for us in the next two games.” This roughly translates to: I'm telling my team to reel it back on O to focus on D which means don't expect more than one goal from us and we're still going to make bone-headed mistakes on D and give up goals

This is my only chance to see the Sabres play in the city this year and I have no interest in going. Looking at stubhub the cheapest seat I can get is $110.00 and it's simply not worth the money. Maybe next year. Go Sabres.

I was just thinking "surely this has to be his last year" and looked and see he's being paid $4 million to play next season. Can't argue he wasn't elite once upon a time but man has he slowed down.

OOOOOOOOOOKKKKPPOOOOSSOOO!!! SCORING SLUMP NO MORE!

HOW WAS THAT NOT IN???

Alright let's get PP Goal here, make that backes hit keep giving.

Is that an instigator?

Most of me really hates to see a player injured but a small part of me likes it when it's a Bruins player. I'll never un-salt from the Lucic on Miller hit. Hope Backes is ok but You, Boston.

I like it when they play physical.

Good save by Lehner but a sloppy, sloppy power play.

YEAH BABY!!!! Also today is the free game of the day streaming on Yahoo https://sports.yahoo.com/video/nhl-free-game-day-12-205246806.html

ALRIGHT LET'S DO THIS! SAAABRES!

I'll be watching tonight. Hopefully Eichel has some fire as he sounded pretty p-o'd after the game last night. I'd like to see Nilsson have a strong game tonight, or at least make some saves in a shootout. I'd like to see a first period where we don't give up any goals, or at least we score the first goal. It's a tall order but I think the boys will be up to it. On a personal note, I'm disappointed that the one time this year the Sabres are playing in my neighborhood I'm back home in Buffalo. Maybe next year, Barclays.

I suppose I was speaking in hyperbole. I'm in my early 30's and a lifetime of Buffalo Sports disappointment has allowed me to keep my emotions in check. I assure you Christmas is alive and well in the mustacheofgod household.

Well christmas has officially been ruined. That was a horrible game.
