SABRES 0311

I’m off the playoff train.

These guys SUCK!!!!!!!!!

The way he’s going I can see it happening. Would not be surprised if he eventually overtakes Jack as our MVP.

Oilers start hitting a little and we get sloppy. Weak. Take a hit and make a play millionaires.

TT come on bury that

Dahlin with some chances.

No one in front on McCabe’s shot or the cross crease pass.

Here I thought I was awesome.

For 30 other teams yes.

PP coming up. Uh-oh

I walk away for a couple minutes and it’s 3 to 1. SMH

Bogo with an own goal?

Jack’s line with some pep

Crazy how Edmonton had so many first overall picks and they are in their current situation. Maybe they need GMTM.

Koskinen is 12-8-1 with a 2.72 GAA and .913 SV%.

Is Khaira originally a Bruin or am I thinking of another player?

I could see a win tonight to get our hopes up.

No need to delete anything and no offense taken. I enjoy talking about the military. Ups and downs like anything else. I am still in. The Eagle in this case stands for country. Globe is for worldwide service. Anchor for naval traditions. GO SABRES, we need this.

Not sure on the spelling. I instantly think it says Ellis. It is without a doubt the emblem of the USMC.

It’s a U.S Marine Corps Eagle, Globe and Anchor imposed on a skull. Elie wishes his hockey skills were near my GDTs.

Full public audit of the Fed and Fort Knox. Full disclosure on some events that happened in New Mexico and else where.

If they don’t win this one I fall to 1-2 for GDTs on the season. That’s when I know we have problems.

While I want the Sabres to show what they can do against a McDavid led team his absence may be what we need to help get on the right track. That’s if he is too sick to play. Either way here’s hoping they play to their potential not Edmonton’s.

I hope they pretend they are playing TBL. We really need to come out and get some buffer goals against McDavid.

Monday, 14 January 2019 the Buffalo Sabres visit the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place. Game starts at 9:00 PM EST. Oilers are 11th in the Western Conference with a 21-21-3 record. Captain Connor McDavid has 27 goals, 40 assists for 67 points in 44 games played. Impressive considering the dumpster fire that has been Edmonton for a long time. Oilers are 11-10-1 at home and coming off a loss to Arizona. Sabres are 9th in the Eastern Conference with a 23-16-6 record. Captain Jack Eichel has 15 goals, 34 assists for 49 points in 42 games. Sabres are 9-10-3 away and coming off a double loss weekend. A win tonight and Montreal loss would put us back in 8th. Completely doable provided the Sabres play a complete game. The number one matchup we are looking forward to is Eichel/McDavid but don’t forget Risto likes to get under the skin of Lucic. Along with Kassian they bring a physical aspect the Sabres seem to have trouble dealing with offensively. Sabres need to bear down on this first game of a western road trip. Play fast and creative because the Oilers are who they are for a reason. Apologies on the lineup. It’s the best I could do but I don’t think TT is on Jack’s line. Could be wrong. MUST MUST WIN!!!
