Huckleberry Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Possible D Pairs Bogo - Risto Falk - Franson Fedun - Nelson Welp :sick: By next season I only want to see Fedun and Risto on those lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 And we're 2-0 with Ennis back. Let's make it 3!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 You really are Mr Sunshine. I know in your head the Sabres lost last night, but they actually won the game, and it was awesome (as MODO will tell you.) Going to be interesting to see what wheels they have by the end of the game. Going to see some live music tonight so I'll be watching this one on delay. You can say that again. Luckily for us, Montreal played and traveled too, so I assume they'll be tired as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard they're back to playing the lounge circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Balls Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 When a goaltender isn't playing up to snuff, is a shaky backup or making his NHL debut.....the Sabres more often than not make them look unbeatable. Wouldn't be surprised to see the Sabres get blanked tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODO Hockey Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 dear god I hope its not Nilsson Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Why? Don't know if I want to go in a debate with all the Lehner haters, but I have a lot less confidence in Nillson than Lehner. Rebound control aside, I think Nilsson is way more out of position than Lehner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_sauve28 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I'm interested to see Nelson. He hasn't looked ready for prime time, but has shown flashes of good skating and puck skills IMHO. We should remember that most defensemen take a while to learn the NHL game -- Soupy was still getting healthy-scratched in 2005 -- and he got a $50MM deal in 2008. Nelson was really getting pushed around. If he toughened up a bit in the AHL he might play well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea well i cant say i agree though, i think lehner is just bad karma, the team looks so frustrated when he is in the net, mr rebound.

Doohickie Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Must win. Is a Nelson call-up confirmed? I was hoping for Burgdoerfer. Per SabresPR on Twitter: Roster Move: The Sabres have recalled defenseman Casey Nelson from Rochester (AHL).

Weave Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Was Nelson even one of the top two defenders in Rochester? I seem to recall hearing he was on the 3rd pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Hockey Night In Canada!! And in Montreal to boot. I love hockey at The Forum. My strategy worked yesterday, so I will log off at puck drop and will only check in tomorrow morning. GO SABRES!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My strategy worked yesterday, so I will log off at puck drop and will only check in tomorrow morning. GO SABRES!! This would be a night I'd make the 4-hour drive to Montreal and find a scalper dumping a single seat in the nosebleeds a few minutes before the face off. Then get a room and enjoy some smoked meat and bagels, or dim sum before heading home. Unfortunately I have to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastajoe Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Announced that Risto is being paired with Falk, so probably Nelson with Fedun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 So Falk's on our top pairing, eh? Mixed feelings. He might actually do better there than Bogo. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Was Nelson even one of the top two defenders in Rochester? I seem to recall hearing he was on the 3rd pair.He's moved up and down the line up. He gets PP time but he's mostly average otherwise.

nfreeman Posted January 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 This seems topical: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/whats-behind-carey-prices-recent-slump-220350694.html Although Price had a strong start to the season, he’s now mired in the kind on slump that’s rather foreign to him. In his last 10 times out, he’s allowed three or more goals eight times and posted a sub-.900 save percentage on six occasions. The Canadiens have played 46 games this season, allowing an average of 29.8 shots per contest. In Price’s last 10 they’ve conceded 298 shots – aka 29.8 per game. Price has seen no increase in the rubber he’s faced in recent weeks. In fact, during his worst start of the season on Jan. 12 he allowed seven goals facing only 24 shots.

Brawndo Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Bylsma said D pairs will start Falk-Ristolainen, Bogosian-Franson and Fedun-Nelson. But also said they will shuffle a lot. #Sabres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
