bunomatic Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Who will be pulled off the ice before warmups tonight ? Will this be Ted Nolans last game as coach of the Sabres ! Going for 4 straight. I'd love to see it but the tank suffers so...I'm torn. As always, GO SABRES ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Going for 4 straight. I'd love to see it but the tank suffers so...I'm torn. Not me, I always root for a Sabres win. I just console myself when they lose by remembering the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samson's Flow Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I'm thinking that the plan all along was for Halak not to play a game in a Sabres uniform, and will only be dressed for this game as a backup out of formality. If he was the starter mix for the rest of the season wouldn't you want to try out your new toy for the first game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was the starter mix for the rest of the season wouldn't you want to try out your new toy for the first game? You are absolutely correct. Halak won't play a game until the deadline has passed.

On your second question: they would get a kid from Texas to step in and dress, just like Saint Louis did in Anaheim Friday night. (StL actually used a Ducks employee, I believe.)

(StL actually used a Ducks employee, I believe.) I know everyone likes the feel good story of random guy off the street dressing as backup goalie, but can anyone remember that happening twice in back to back games? If Halak is traded prior to tonight's game, we would have 2 civilians as backups in back to back games... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
