Popular Post jsb Posted October 11, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) VS. Your Buffalo Sabres will be looking to start the season with 3 consecutive wins at home tonight. The team may need some tweaks mostly defensively but they are playing better, faster and what appears to be outstanding effort. So far it appears last games lineup will play again tonight as HCRK doesn't appear to like the constant line changes of our previous coach. We currently have 2 Sabres in the top 10 in scoring and 6 in the top 50. Risto is 23rd in the league in TOI as of today. We are also tied for 3rd in goals per game with the Tampa Bay Lightning who also blasted the Loafs of Toronto last night. PANTHERS at SABRES This is the first of four meetings between the Sabres and Panthers this season. Last meeting: Florida defeated Buffalo 4-2 in Florida on Feb. 19. Next meeting: Sunday, Nov. 24 in Florida The Sabres are 2-7-1 in their last 10 games vs. the Panthers; 4-6-0 at home. This is the 101st game all-time between Buffalo and Florida; Buffalo has a 49-42-9 series record. The Sabres are 28-19-4 at home against the Panthers all-time. THIS DATE IN SABRES HISTORY The Sabres are 7-5-3 all-time on October 11. October 11, 1979: Lindy Ruff scores in his first NHL game, a 6-3 win vs. Washington, becoming the first Sabres defenseman ever to score in his NHL debut. THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW The Sabres are 3-0-1 through four games. It’s the first time Buffalo has started a season with points in four straight games since the team went 4-0-1 through its first five games of the 2009-10 season. Buffalo is looking to start the season with wins in each of the team’s first three home games for the first time since the 2008-09 season. PLAYING WITH POWER The Sabres entered play Thursday with the second-ranked power play in the league, converting on a league-high eight of their 15 power plays this season (53.3%). According to NaturalStatTrick.com, Buffalo also ranked among the league’s leaders in shot generation with the man advantage, averaging 2.94 shots (2nd) and 4.41 shot attempts (2nd) per two minutes of power-play time. With two power-play goals in each of their last three games, the Sabres have scored multiple power-play tallies in three straight games for the first time since March 4 to 7, 2009. With two or more power-play goals tonight, they would stretch that streak to four games for the first time since they went five games with multiple power-play goals from Feb. 21 to March 1, 1996. Continuing the 50th Anniversary IMO the greatest Defensivemen in Sabres History: All stats are Sabre records: Mike Ramsey: 3rd in Games Played, 6th in +/-, 8th in Penalty Minutes, 2nd in Points by DMan, 2nd in Goals by DMan Phil Housley: 4th in Assists, 5th in Points, 10th in Power Play Goals, 1st in Points by DMan, 3rd in Power Play Goals on ice for Alexei Zhitnik: 9th in Games Played, 3rd in Points by DMan, 9th in Power Play Goals on ice for, 1st in Short Handed Goals by DMan Jim Schoenfeld: 3rd in +/-, 7th in Penalty Minutes, 7th in Points by DMan Bill Hajt: 5th in Games Played, 2nd in +/-, 6th in Points by DMan, Jerry Korab: 5th in Points by DMan, 3rd in Goals by DMan, 10th in Penalty Minutes, 3rd in Power Play Goals by DMan LETS GO BUFFALO Edited October 11, 2019 by jsb 5 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 I won't be watching this one because games against the Florida Panthers are always brutal tv. If the Sabres somehow find a way to make this game entertaining then they're going to win the cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
