GDT: Tampa Bay Lightning at Buffalo Sabres. 12 January 2019 @ 7:00PM EST on MSG.


SABRES 0311

Recommended Posts

Saturday, 12 January 2019 the Buffalo Sabres take on the Tampa Bay Lightening in Buffalo. Game starts at 7:00 PM EST and broadcast through MSG-B and SUN. 
 
Tampa has a +58 goal differential and is 15-4-2 on the road. They are 9-1-0 in their last 10 with the most recent victory coming against the Hurricanes who just beat the Sabres.
 
Buffalo is 14-5-3 at home with a +3 goal differential. They are coming off a loss to Carolina as the spiral continues. Not exactly an optimal team to play against as we try to right the sinking ship. As Hutton played against the Canes and Ullmark having a good weekend record I expect the latter to get the start. 
 
Below are potential starting lineups. Obviously Tampa has a working formula so I don’t expect much deviation barring injuries. Buffalo on the other hand is struggling to find competent combinations for the middle six so I would not be surprised if we see a slightly different lineup.

Glad someone else has taken over the mantle... good luck and good luck Sabres...

You are a good soldier, but your time is up,

Thanks, Rambo (you will always be Rambo to me) for kick stating us in the noble fight.

Also, @..., very nice letter.

Why would the stupid NHL schedule the Sabres in NC and then home the next night?  NC is practically to Florida.

MUST WIN!! (although I would accept a tie in this case)

GO SABRES!!

What time was this thread started?  The new upgrade does not have an exact time, but says 7 hours ago.  Must have been just after mid-night, which is cool.

I made it shortly after the CAR game. I have seen them done after midnight mostly but within 24 hours as well.

I remain by the red phone with the light that blinks. No one wants to win again, 9-2, I guess. But that wasn't the REAL Buffalo Sabres anyway. It was all a miraaaaaaaage.

Can someone fix the title?  If I'm searching for "Lightning" at some point in the future, it's not going to return this thread, which uses "Lightening."  (It's a word, to be sure, but not the one that describes the Tampa team.)

Letter deleted. World may now resume turning.?

I keep calling, but no one's there ... is that you Roxy?  ?

I really think your blinking light is on the blink again.

All I can hear is heavy breathing and the sound of coffee being poured.

So, you do know that it's me calling and you still ignore / hang up.

That's not very nice, Roxy.

I know how you feel.

I keep calling in to the Instigators show and they hang up after asking my name when I answer "Call Me Misty".

Roxy, as in Roxy Music ... Street Life.  I didn't expect many, if any, to get the very obscure reference.

Humph.  Good thing I'm not ... you know ... others may question this, but what the heck.

Is that you in your latest avatar photo?

Nah it’s from a meme about men who wear skinny jeans.

Edit: Meant in good fun.

My photo has me in plain clothes and better beard. That’ll go up once I can find it. ?

Losing last night makes me feel better about our odds tonight. 

I would have preferred to win last night though for the sake of the playoffs. 

Oh well. Got my coffee and a good night's sleep. 

Strangely, I'm in that same boat.

Expecting a much better effort tonight.
