WildCard Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) The Nashville Predators will come to Buffalo with the cure in hand to the Sabres scoring woes. The Sabres, losers of 5 straight and scoring only 5 goals in that span, is desperate to find it's way back on the winning track. After coming off a 2-1 loss against St.Louis Monday night, in which the iron was heard more times than the amount of goals we've scored lately, the Sabres desperately need to snap a losing streak more than Mick Jagger trying to get some Satisfaction. The Predators are that cure. Shut out for 3 consecutive games, THREE, this cat has lost it's fangs. Taking the day off Tuesday from practice, each player was sent home and told to write a 3 paragraph essay on why they need to play less like Cody Hodgson. Sadly enough, Paul Gaustad and his 2 assists this season are still less than Hodsgon's whopping 1-2-3, which, sadly, rival Girgensons and Kane. Look for the Swede We Need to start vs. his Finnish rival, Pekka Rinne. The Sabres saw Zemgus and Weber return to practice on Tuesday afternoon, and although Kane missed with an LBI (unrelated to his MCL according to DD), he is considered probable. Game Preview STATS:St.Louis @ Buffalo, 2-1 Loss; All StatsAll Team RankingsTeam Comparison Chart Tuesday's Practice Report With the additions of Girgensons and Weber came two subtractions from the Sabres’ practice. Defenseman Zach Bogosian sat out for a maintenance day while forward Evander Kane was absent with a lower-body injury.Bylsma said that Kane’s current injury is completely unrelated to the injury to his MCL that forced him to miss 10 games from Oct. 24 to Nov. 19. The forward has played in three games since returning from the injury.“He is day-to-day,” Bylsma said. “If we were in football, I’d say ‘probable.’” Forwards:26 Matt Moulson – 90 Ryan O'Reilly – 12 Brian Gionta 28 Zemgus Girgensons – 15 Jack Eichel – 23 Sam Reinhart 82 Marcus Foligno – 22 Johan Larsson – 63 Tyler Ennis 44 Nicolas Deslauriers – 17 David Legwand / 59 Tim Schaller – 88 Jamie McGinn Defense: 4 Josh Gorges – 55 Rasmus Ristolainen 29 Jake McCabe/25 Carlo Colaiacovo – 46 Cody Franson 6 Mike Weber – 3 Mark Pysyk Goalies: 35 Linus Ullmark31 Chad Johnson Edited November 25, 2015 by WildCard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Kane was hit by the puck sometime in the third against the SLB. He left the ice in obvious pain, but, as we know, finished the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustache of God Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Oh boy, a struggling team who hasn't scored in 230 minutes coming into Buffalo? What could possibly go wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwksndmonster Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 A lotta wussery going on in here. Tonight's the night the Sabres figure out how to score again, especially Jack Jack. Man, Liger loves blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woods-racer Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I can't wait for tonight's game! Why? Because they are worth watching. Real Hockey, with good players. Life hasn't been this good in years (hockey wise). I knew it was going to be tough for them to come away with a few wins in November, all I hoped for was at the end of November they looked better than at the beginning.

CallawaySabres Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Maybe I'm in the minority but I'm having zero fun watching this team continue to do the one thing I thought wouldn't be a problem.

LGR4GM Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 It's okay everyone. This season will ebb and flow while players figure it out. No need to panic. John Vogl @BuffNewsVogl 21s21 seconds ago Dan Bylsma says Zemgus Girgensons is in, Mark Pysyk is out and Evander Kane is a possibility for tonight's game versus Nashville.

woods-racer Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Yep. You wonder when the "we look better!" high is going to wear off and anger is going to set in. As long as the Sabres woes in scorning are reflected league wide, it won't be with the GM/Coach/Players. My anger will be directed to those that allow the scoring drought to continue.

qwksndmonster Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Yep. You wonder when the "we look better!" high is going to wear off and anger is going to set in. Probably when the team wins 3 games in a row and the entire board is flooded with "I love this team" posts. Bill Hoppe @BillHoppeNHL 2m2 minutes ago Cody Hodgson was, umm, shall we say, prickly talking about the Sabres. Almost prickly enough to throw a body check tonight?

pi2000 Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Consider there are infinite parallel universes. In at least one of those universes, tonight's game heads to a shootout tied 0-0, and nobody scores in the shootout..... ever. I believe it's highly likely that's the universe we live in. BTW, in one of those universes Gary Bettman is still conducting the draft lottery. Fortunately we don't live in that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
