GDT: Buffalo @ Winnipeg, 3:00 pm est, 1-10-2016

[WildCard]

LeBron returns to Cleaveland, Jordan to Chicago, Gretzky to Edmonton, and, now, Evander Kane and Zach Bogosian will return to exact vengeance upon the Winnipeg Jets in a match-up of personal hatred on a Sudnay afternoon. The Sabres, well, we've lost 6 straight. You know what I think about that? I say ###### that. It's all just a power up to bigger and better things. We played well against Chicago, hell, we've played well this entire damn losing streak! Streaks are made to be broken boys and girls, and today we will bend Winnipeg over a barrel and show them the 50 states....or however many provinces Canada has. 7? 8? ###### it, they're seeing them all.
 
The Jets, and I can't believe I can finally type this, face a similar situation to the Sabres. Sitting last in their division and paddling at .500 both overall and in their last 10, the Jets will look to forget their recent OT loss at the hands of the Stars on Thursday night and return to their paddling ways. A disappointing season for sure thus far for the Jets, and with big FA questions looming, you have to wonder at their mentality moving forward. The Sabres will also see familiar foes Tyler Myers and Drew Stafford Sunday afternoon as well. If anyone wants any reconciliation on our season thus far, I encourage you to watch Tyler Myers.

Hype! Winnipeg back home for 8 of 9 after a 5 game roadie. They're going to want to start it off well. They need to make a run. Then add in the extra stuff.

 

Sabres can't afford a slow start since I think the Jets will be trying to make a statement in this one.

Kane gets his first hat trick as a Sabre!! Let's Go Boys!!!!!

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Mr. Wild,

 

There are 10 Canadian provinces and 3 territories.

 

 

Well, it's 50 below and I don't give a ... I'm off to the hockey game.

 

The good old hockey game.  It's the best game you can name.

 

GO SABRES!!

[French Collection]

Let's hope Kane channels that energy and turns it on for his best game as a Sabre. We need him to be an A list player like GMTM traded for.

 

Go get'er Evander!

[Mustache of God]

My bold predictions: Stafford has a 4 point night and Kane gets injured.

[bob_sauve28]

Love you optimism Wild. This frustrated Sabre fan can use some! Let's go Sabres!

 

 

 

Ps Great Pic!

That middle finger photo was revealed as a hoax, by the way. Dern kids with their Photoshop and gizmos.

For the love of god win this game.

Source?  I can believe it, but I'm curious about the source.

At least the arguments are mostly about why we're losing rather than the merits of tanking.

NO, IT'S NOT!

Yep. And if Kane doesn't show up for this one, that'll be pretty telling.

[Thwomp!]

Yep. And if Kane doesn't show up for this one, that'll be pretty telling.

This is a huge game for him, Bogo, and thus should be for the whole team. I agree that a disappointing performance today will indeed be quite telling. An exceptional performance would be quite telling as well.

[nfreeman]

I would expect Kane to come out like he was shot out of a cannon, and for Bogo to play a very aggressive, physical game as well.

[kishoph]

That's some impressive photoshop skills

I don't know, I zoomed in real close to his hand and it sure looks authentic.
