GDT: 11/9/2019 1pm ET Buffalo Sabres at Tampa in ModoLand

[Mustache of God 344]

The Sabres looked awful yesterday. Will they look awful again today? Tampa is the home team so they'll have last change.

Will there be any response to the dirty hit that injured Sobotka.

Can this team score?

With Vlad out will we see shuffled lines?

I personally want to see Jack and Jeff together to spark to offense.

 

Answers to all these questions, and more at 1 pm edt.

Just think, last year at this time, we were all wondering WTF is this baby giraffe doing on the ice. Now we're all like, bring us Tage!, He's our only hope!

What are the chances this goes well? 
 

Buffalo Sabres hockey:

Destroy everyone for 10 games

lose 15 of the next 20 games 😂😂

[LabattBlue 265]

With McIlhenny in net, I think the Sabres pot a couple more, but still lose. 
 

Tampa 5 

Buffalo 4

That makes it a 5 game losing streak. 

😞😞😞

Just win baby! 

 

Lets turn this ship around and get going in the right direction. 

[steveoath 274]

Must win...

[LTS 827]

Indeed... Anyone at the game.. We're meeting up after...

Finding a place to watch tonight.

[Torpedo Forecheck 114]

This is how I'd like to see the lineup right now. Obviously not everyone is here or available.

Girgs-Jack-Sam

Jeff-Marcus-Erod

Olof-Casey-Kyle

Vesey-Larsson-Sheary

 

Rasmus-Montour

Risto-Joki

Miller-McCabe

JMO to give us some balance

I would love to have him stay in Rochester for a good chunk of the season. He looks like he is figuring out how to use that big frame of his. I noticed last night that he was over powering the guy a lot when back checking. If he could figure out how to do that while forechecking then we would have done all the developing that we can do with him.

The more and more I look at the names on this team, the further and further away I think they are. I was praying the good start was somehow the coach, but really, this team still sucks talent-wise. They are still 4 good players away on offense and two of those HAVE to be on the top 2 lines (stud 1st line winger and 2nd line Center). Until that happens, the years of wasting Eichel will continue. 5-2 Lightning with 4-0 going into the 3rd.

This collapse feels different than last year's. It's more like how people describe dying in the cold. You just lay down in the snow and slowly fall asleep. That's this year. Just a nice winter nap pulling my eye lids down and softly whispering me to unconsciousness as we give the puck up in our zone again.

[Zamboni 670]

So ... I’ve been told it’s bad or wrong to expect a loss. Yet, I see a few already expect to lose. Hmm ... interesting.

4-2 gigajoules

[darksabre 3,034]

Hutton vs McIlhenny is a matchup that should favor us. Hopefully they're upset that they didn't play good hockey until the third and come out with some energy.

[Cheektorado 236]

Sabres need to win this game any way they can.  They could find themselves all the way down to 11th in the conference.

Just WIN!

[BMWR100RT 16]

Sabres 7-1. Tampa rode the euro-disco train celebrating win last night. I can visualize it and it wasn't pretty. 

[jsb 521]

Oh ye of little faith, the difference in last year and this year is the team seemed to quit last year the further the season went along. I don't see quit in this team and I also see that none of the teams they've played lately have taken them lightly. They're all giving the Sabres their best shot. Are they going to turn it around starting today?? I hope so but even if they don't they will shortly. The only thing I didn't like about yesterday is no-one appeared to go after Kuchodirty and somebody should have stepped in for Skinner late in the game. McCabe and Risto have to be better enforcers for the team IMO. Having said that I'm wondering if they were under league orders not to engage in any fisticuffs while in Sweden because I can't believe there wasn't a brawl out there yesterday.

Dang, they put all the heavies on that 3rd line, that'll be fun to watch.

[bob_sauve28 498]

Interesting lines. That third line might actually be interesting if Skinner and Sheary have some chemistry

Making a cheesecake, digging the Tampa game crew's suits, and ready to lock S-foils in attack position.

They sent Jay Moran over there?
