bob_sauve28 Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 First game since they infected our team.... The Buffalo Sabres look to right the ship today in a matinee against the New Jersey Devils. The Sabres have looked totally lost since returning from their forced break. In contrast, the Devils have won both games since returning to play from their COVID pause. The Devils are coming off back-to-back wins during the week. They beat the Rangers 5-2 and the Bruins 3-2. Two impressive wins for a team coming off a two-week break. The Sabres have not found the win column since their return to play, and they look to change that today. Buffalo will face off against the Devils in three of their next four matchups, so they will become very familiar with New Jersey over the next week of games. The Sabres have played New Jersey twice this season, going 1-1-0 in those two games. The Sabres have been in an awful offensive slump since returning to play. Buffalo has only scored two goals through the nine periods of hockey they have played since resuming their season. Both of those goals came from Victor Olofsson on power play opportunities. So the Sabres have not scored an even-strength goal in three games. https://sabrenoise.com/2021/02/19/sabres-look-end-cold-streak-devils/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoath Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) Hope they show a bit of passion. Someone Drop the gloves at face off and beat the S out of them. Get the team fired up. Edited February 20, 2021 by steveoath 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmel Corn Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 In an effort to protect the players from a Covid relapse and also make the Sabres look "tougher", the training staff is issuing masks for the game against the Devils. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamboni Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 I’ve been staying optimistic with all my predictions… And it’s gotten me nowhere 😂 So ... Devils ... 3 Sabres ... 2 Skinner, Thompson, or Dahlin with a goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost in dc Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Interesting read about Jack in hockey news. Time to trade him to improve the team. I hate the hockey news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 I think I want to see them start a fight. I normally don't love fighting for the sake of it, but this team needs it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skate around the perimeter, pass a lot, miss the net a lot, loose the puck at the blueline, get scored on. Yeah, they use plan B a lot...

DarthEbriate Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Coach Solo: Well you can forget your troubles about effort and losses with these Imperial Devils. I told you we're playing the game the right way. Don't everybody thank me at once. Anyway, we should be at the game in about oh... 2 hours. Wake up, Sabres! It's breakfast and hockey!

DarthEbriate Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Dahlin-Borgen, eh? I think Borgen could be exactly what Dahlin needs. Just relax and let the Ehrhoff/Moulson/Concept Of flow through you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
