Levi, JJP, Benson.

TNT & hand injury?

Cozens starting to come to life? 

Tuch, Tuch, Tuch....  manage injury?

Quinner back with a chicken dinner?

Will they @Shoot da Puck (on net)?

Can they decline penalties, not go on Power Plays, and stay 5x5?

Does Rayzor wear a shirt that  buttons and actually cinch his tie?

This and more on the next installment of Sabres '23-24, tonight ....right here on Sabre Space...

I'll probably watch because the line of Benson - Thompson - Quinn sounds fun and I wanna see David Jiricek.

Ok no excuse. At home to a bad team, Quinn is back, Levi is in. Sabres need to dictate play from the outset. Go Sabres. 

[Doohickie]

Minutes waiting.

[bob_sauve28]

Must friggin win! 

 

Lose this game and I swear I'll miss five minutes of next game, and I mean it! I'll not watch...for a few minutes. 

 

[Sabres Fan in NS]

The line up for the BJ contest starts behind me ... the rest of you are on your own.

MUST WIN !!

GO SABRES !!

YUP !!  IT'S THAT TIME .........

One should not expect greatness right away. Quinner is a young player off of a challenging injury.

So no disparaging comments until AFTER 1st period. 👀

 

[Scottysabres]

Just get the 2 pts. Don't care at this point how, just get'em boys!

Go Sabres

The bolded conditions guarantee us a loss.

All this talk about Columbus being bad.  They are, but Buffalo at home scares no one.  

This is a game they have to come out strong dictate the play.  

With Levi in net I like our chances.  Now, if Tage and Tuch also show up we might be able to do some damage.

I believe that @PASabreFan's GIF signifies he is not convinced that adding Quinn does anything substantial at this point.  

Think contrarian.

No. Think 1970s sitcoms and the propensity for a certain poster to fall in love with his meme thingies.

...and how are these two things connected? 

 

Never mind.  No need to explain.

[DarthEbriate]

The team is all imprisoned in the most convoluted scheme of rebuilding: poor hockey, injuries, and no puck luck. Enter Quinn:

Columbus 10-22 and Buffalo 13-19. It's a matchup of two bad teams. (And just one more win by Ottawa this season (in a complete tailspin and coach-firing) and the matchup of Sabres/Jackets is between the two teams with the lowest points per game/winning % in the conference.)

I wouldn't expect much out of Quinn tonight or for the next couple of weeks.  He's recovering from a major injury and missed all of training camp and the first 1/3 of the season so doesn't have his NHL timing yet.

If they don't win tonight I really don't want to hear anyone trying to pretend the season isn't dead and buried.
