I’ll give the GDTs a rest after this game if anyone else wants a chance.

We’re going to win this one.

Hasn't this team won every gdt you've done?

If that is the case he should be coerced to continue on. What’s the going rate for hiring a street enforcer?

Muddy Windshield!

Odds are Lyon starts but it would also be a good time to see what Colten Ellis brings.

Just win baby. Get back to .500 and get the two points. If they think Ellis can do that for us, fine. But I'm riding the winning horse for as long as he can carry us.

If the Sabres can win in Montreal, maybe that can wash away some of the stench from last year’s Pegula pep talk game where we got trampled. 
 

I hope that I’m wrong but I don’t see us winning tonight in front of that ramped up crowd. 

[That Aud Smell]

Ride the Lyon King.

Go Sabres.

Ellis Fri or Sat (due to back to back with the Smaple Sheats).

Is it just you that mentions this all the time or is there a Sabrespace initiative to reference this barely memorable moment in Sabres history?

Yeah, I don’t see them winning this game. Montreal has been on fire.

The Habs could be looking past us.

Pretty big week of in division games, Montreal and then Detroit and the the Leafs x2 

 

have to have Geertsen or Dunne in tonight, cause Montreal lets Xjehai run around and you need a deterrent for him

What's wrong, fella? Do I need to love all over those wondrous calves again? Live and let live. MW and TP is all some of us have.

What are you talking about? That was a unique situation where the team completely fell flat (humiliated) after a surprising pep talk by the owner. I’m not criticizing the owner as I am the team’s response to his uncharacteristic appearance.

You are to be commended. I do wonder if the ways to watch are necessary... there are so many. Other than non MSG games, that's important to know.

[GoPuckYourself]

I think the Sabres will come back down to earth in this 1 but I'm also really hoping I'm wrong.

Me too but Montreal is a tough test. They added quite a few pieces and seem to have gelled quickly. 

[Stads]

Last year, they won all four games outscoring us 21-11. Hopefully, we match up better this year

Barely memorable?  It was a recurring theme last season.

It took the Sabres a few games but they seem to be gelling too:  "This is how we play every night from now on."

Just didn’t know if everyone was still talking about that. I suppose going back to Montreal makes it timely.  I should probably post less.

Please do us the favor and keep making GDT if they win. Got to maintain the good juju.
