Which Sabre will be the first to Light the Lamp in 2021?

[Mustache of God]

Here's a rundown of who scored to kick off each year for the past decade. Who do you think kicks things off this year?

 

 

I'm voting for Skinner.

[dudacek]

It will be Tage Thompson.

Where is my Tage?

I had one job, and I failed 😞 . I feel this pretty much guarantees Tage gets it.

[GASabresIUFAN]

Dahlin on a slap shot from the point on the first PP of the season.

Probably Hall. Jack will try really hard to set him up. 

I love how Rieder is second in the poll right now haha

Rieder would have been my vote if there wasn't so much hubbub about the Skinner usage. Looking back it appears most of the openers are scored by bottom 6 players (was Sheary top 6? i don't remember but he certainly didn't belong there).

What's with the asterisk and the lazar goal from January?

For the record I'm seeing a few JE linemates on that list

[Getpucksdeep]

Love it. I'm going Oloffson from Reinhart.

I also think it will be Tage.  He needs to be on the list.

It was the first goal scored in 2020...I threw it in there just because.

Ullmark.

 

It will be a funky bounce of the boards and he will kick it in his own net. All the Buffalo fans at the game will be flabbergasted and will sit silently on their hands for the rest of the game.

Riley Sheahan shovels a relatively harmless shot towards goal.  It glances off a defenders leg, changing direction slightly, and the surprised goalie gives up an awkward rebound.

Skinner flys in from the left face off circle and buries the rebound!

He skates back to the Sabres bench and yells F U Ralph, I’ll do it myself!

Krueger leans over to Steve Smith and whispers, “I love it when a plan comes together.”

Have a feeling that Olof is gonna “let it go” 🎶 

[Thorny]

If I get this right I'll do a Strikeout immediately.

Montour off the feed from Dahlin who got fed by Eichel.  Thompson's screen in front sealed it as Charo tried to chase Hall. 😉

I win.  I voted Hutton.  Wrong lamp, right answer.
