Dis gonna b gud ! .

It's Sabres at Caps. UPL had the Saturday start and didn't get chased despite seven goals against, so Ovechkin won't break Gretzky's record today because Reimer is playing. However, Greenway out and likely no Dahlin means that Ovechkin could get close, today. It's the last home game before back-to-back Caps games on the road.

YOUR Buffalo Sabres are scheduled to arrive in Winnipeg shortly, after carpooling from Minnesota early this morning to save $. History of late hasn’t been as nasty to the Sabres while playing in Winnipeg as one might think: Sabres have taken 3 of the last 5 matchups. Today’s tilt being a back-to-back, and the 3rd game in 4 days, will represent tough sledding, however. On a personal note, I had not witnessed a Sabres victory live in person until this fateful, magical day: and tracksuit night, to boot: Go Sabres!

Here we go again. 90 minutes to game time. We could almost watch a Star War in that.

We beat 'em last month. Gotta beat 'em again. Because reasons. Doohickie's hot players are Zucker and Power. If either one of them score, I'll have bragging rights.

There's a game today! Starting the GDT, but remember, if the Sabres lose

Snuff out those Flames.

What the heck is with the 6 pm start? I double checked it and it wasn't a time zone thing. And the game is on TNT, truTV & MAX, but not MSG? It's like they don't even want us to watch. Meh. Okay Sabres, today is the first day of the rest of the season. Just win.

Mods, please don't merge this with what appears to be a Washington GDT but is actually the Philly GDT from last week.

Good chance we see Robin Lehner tonight. Kahun will probably also play for Buffalo. Montour Risto pairing is very bad.

VS First game for the Sabres after the trade deadline trades and the beginning of a 4 game road trip for the team. Colorado had no mercy on the Sabres in their last meeting, winning in Buffalo 6-1 earlier this month. This hopefully will be a revenge game and the start of a continuing playoff push for the team who have won 6 of their last 8 games. Eichel has been the leader of the team and is among the league leaders with 3 OT Goals (T-2nd), 9 GW Goals (T-2nd), 35 Goals (T-5th), 24 EV Goals (T-6th), 26 PP Points (T-6th), 77 Points (T-7th), 50 EV Points (T-8th). If this play continues he should be a finalist for the Hart Trophy this year. Jimmy Vesey with 2 more games and Colin Miller with 4 more games with reach 300 games played in their NHL career and Henri Jokiharju played his 100th game against the Jets. This should also be the debut as a Sabre for Wayne Simmonds and Michael Frolik has 8 points in his last 9 games in Colorado so it'll be interesting to see if HCRK rolls the dice on him. Can the team pull out a victory tonight because the Sabre faithful "Need Somebody to Love"

Way past my bed time ... 11:00 PM here in beautiful NS. Paging @pi2000 !! Pink courtesy phone @pi2000 ... I know we have other Southern Californians too. Any body going? MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!! I am confident that I do not need to use the goodly word dastardly.

Some will call this a Measuring Stick Game. This couldn't further from the truth. The Bruins know they're better than us and will crush us. This isn't a Measuring Stick Game, this is when the Sabres will prove to the Bruins how very wrong they are about us. They will not believe the fury that is about to be unleashed upon them. I have been to the Mountain. I have seen it. Thus endeth the vision. WILL WIN.

Let's see how they stack up against someone else.

Let's get back at it an show Columbus that first game wasn't a fluke (even though it was). GO SABRES

Let's clip those wings! GO SABRES! From Liger's post below: Stream here: https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/buffalo-sabres-detroit-red-wings-preview-lineup-ukko-pekka-luukkonen/c-326470940 Click on the pic of Ukko Pekka Lukkonen.

Lets remember that the Sabres are playing tonight. It may be a very important game, but then again maybe not any more important than any other game this season. We should discuss that ... 😉 It also seems that John has finally been shot out of the Sabres cannon and into the small oasis in the desert of Nevada. Just another day in Sabreland MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

What will the lines look like...

Leaves lineup:

Game 2: Home opener.... here we go! Is Ralph Krueger magic? Find out tonight. The KBC should be rockin', giving the Sabres a boost. Hopefully McCabe turns in another great performance. This could be Jack's breakout; let's see Skinner get on the scoresheet too. GO SABRES

We play the New York Rangers tonight. The Rangers are bad. They have an expected goals for at 5v5 of 1.8 compared to Buffalo's 3.1. Further our PP is 10% better than theirs and Rangers seem to top out at 2 goals a game. These are trap games for top teams but games if we truly are a top team we should win. Records Rangers: 2-4-1 Sabres: 8-1-1 Fancy stats: Rangers: 2.71 goals for, 1.8 xGF, 0.913sv%, 44.4cf% @5v5, 20.83pp%, 77.42pk% Sabres: 3.70 goals for, 3.1 xGF, 0.929sv%, 47.5cf% @5v5, 30.77pp%, 76.67pk%

"He looks like a bulldog eating his lunch off a thistle". Common, seriously. What does that even mean? That's hilarious. I remember other Robyisms like "he's hanging around the net like dirty socks." That is old school stuff. Grass roots movement to bring him back, even for a game or two a year. What say you.
