Sabres can avenge the Bills for last night with a big win tonight. Who will be in net? Does it really matter? Tune in and find out. MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

The Seattle Kraken make Their Inaugural Debut at Key Bank Center to face the Sabres.

Montréal is still pretty terrible, so I have to say that this is actually a must win game for the Sabres. MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

DASTARDLY!! MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

The Sabres play tonight ... so forget all your duties, oh yeah ... ? Seems like we will not be able to watch our Swedish hottie(s) take on their Swedish hottie. Just give me another win and I do not care how, or what it looks like. I can fly to Europe much faster than I can get to see duda, buno, or Rick ... this geography lesson brought to you by NS. The most MUST WIN!! since the last MUST WIN!! So, MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

Common guys, these things don't write themselves. Not sure of lineup tonight, but anxious to get a look at guys playing against another team, especially one that has a history of hustling. Torts just signed a 2 year extension. For lineup, check in with those more informed than me. Go Sabres...

vs Evander Kane Zach Bogosian travels back to Winnipeg to play against his former team, and the Sabres can see their old friend Drew Stafford Tyler Myers, in this matchup of kinda pretty good teams. This is another chance for the Stabs to beat a team ahead of them in the standings; they've been pretty good at that lately. Skinner-Eichel-Reinhart Sheary-Mittelstadt-Okposo Sobotka-Berglund-Pominville Girgensons-Larsson-Thompson McCabe-Ristolainen Scandella-Bogosian Beaulieu-Dahlin I'm guessing Carter the Hutt gets the goaltending duties for Buffalo Remember GDT rules:  No acne jokes No telling Mr. Flagg to STF..... you know the rest Logo hate was grandfathered into the rules so that's ok Please look for previous made GDT's before posting yours Must Win There is no Rule #6 Please do not quote an entire obnoxiously long post (such as this) Please start a new thread if you want to cry some more about ROR trade LET'S GO BUFFALO GO SABRES!

1, 2, 3 ... GO!!

For the first time ever I am the only member signed on this fine morning. +++++ This is what you wanted ... this is what you are going to get ... Aaaaayyyyyyyy, Oh!! Our beloved Sabres are taking on the most dastardly Flyers, AKA Cryers, in a nooner in Buffalo. The Sabres are a bit dull at the moment with 4 Ls since the 10 game W streak that had visions of cusps, at least, dancing in the fans heads, but are still way further ahead than anyone expected this season. Firmly in a playoff spot at this point and most importantly playing fun, entertaining and good hockey most of the time. The Flyers have not been playing well lately, but always seem to get it going in games against the Sabres. That won't happen today. I expect a blow out win for the Sabres ... 6 - 2 ... and it will not be as close as it appears on the scoreboard. My hatred of the Flyers (who will not be the most dastardly in a few days when we play the equally dastardly Bruins, who will become the most dastardly on that day ... the two teams are interchangeable) knows no bounds. They all are, but his one really is a must win. I don't care how it looks. I think the game is on SN nationally in Canada, MSG and NBC, as well. Of course, it will be on a radio, or satellite, near you. LETS GO BUFFALO!! MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

The Sabres make their way acrost and down the state of Florida for a tilt with the Panthers. Let's start a new streak guys. We will see what these guys have on a back-to-back after a tough loss. I would think that we shall see Ullie. Not sure of TV, but I am sure it will be on a radio, or satellite, near you. MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

'This is what you wanted! This is what you're going to get'! These guys don't scare me at all. WE WANT 11!! MUST WIN!!!!! GO SABRES!!

MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

JUST BEAT THESE GUYS!! AVENGE PARK!! OK SWAMPD ... I WON'T CALL THEM ... (YOU KNOW WHAT)!! MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

The Sabres get right back up on that horse in the last contest before the Christmas break. Not sure what happened last night (it's early), but saw a 2 -1 score for the Caps. Lets get these guys. MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!! +++++ 'This is what you wanted. This is what you're going to get' Aaayyyyyy Oohh!!

This is what you wanted. This is what you're going to get. Aayyyyyyy Ooh!! +++++ MUST WIN!! MUST GO SABRES!! MUST STOP OV!! I would have Girgs and Larry stapled to OV in an attempt to try to do the third must item. Stay out of the box and that would help. Stay away from that Wilson punk and no one will get hurt. Let's hope that no one does.

Tonight marks the return of E. Kane to Buffalo and he is bringing that other Swedish Dman with him. No matter we have our own studly Dman from Sweden. For the first time in forever I am looking forward to every single Sabre game. Lets beat E. Kane and the rest of those Guppies from Northern California. Rules (?) Lineups (?) TV (?) Radio (check) MUST WIN!! ... WE WANT 10!! GO SABRES!!

Second attempt at this and not as pretty as others. I imagine Scandella is in and wouldn’t be surprised if Linus gets the start. A 10-10-2 Red Wings would be a nice chance for our backup to get some action and a deserved rest for Hutton. The Sabres are the leagues hottest team and surpassing everyone’s expectations notably those of their fans. If you have updated lines please share. Go Sabres!

MUST WIN!! Our pretty hot again Sabres travel to DC for a tilt with the defending champs. The Caps are plying well after a bit of a hangover from last spring. It will be a good test for both teams, I hope. The key to a Sabres victory ... score more goals. Yup. I don't care how many and when and how. Just more. I think it's on TV of some sort? None of the letters make any sense to me ... NBC (and then a whole bunch more). GO SABRES!!

Thanks to our fan in Baltimore who is up with the crows for getting us up and going last night in Nashville, but I will give this a go ... I know many Sabres fans hate Toronto, but my hatred is all encompassing for The Great Satan. My hockey hatred is saved for others. JUST WIN, BABY!! I don't care how it looks. MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

You all asked for it. Have at it. Let's see if the "day before" juju was a fluke or if it really works.

Since we have been in such a funk, I am going to try my hand at starting the GDT thread in order to change our luck around. After dropping games to both the Blues and NY Islanders, this Panthers game becomes even more of a MUST WIN if we want to keep holding on to playoff positioning. Practice report lines from last practice - expect Eichel is out for a bit with an Upper Body Injury.

The time for fancystats is over. Tis the season to just win, baby!

Ok folks here we go! Our Sabres get ready to clip the Jets’ wings and ground them. Below is excerpts from the Winnipeg Sun and I thought it would be fun to see it from another perspective. Mr. Laine meet Mr. McCabe. Oh you’ve already met. Must have been a smashing conversation. THE BIG MATCHUP Jacob Trouba and Josh Morrissey vs. Jeff Skinner The future of the Sabres’ top goal-scorer remains a question mark, with Skinner set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. However, what’s not a question is that Skinner remains one of the top goal-scorers in the NHL (33) and he will garner plenty of attention from the Jets’ top pairing of Trouba and Morrissey.
