Dahlin and Thompson can't possibly play as bad as their last game, so I expect them to at least give us an entertaining game.

I was expecting a Dahlin suspension, because we are the Sabres.

Lindy’s speech….adapted for the Sabres.


You're 5 foot nothin', 100 and nothin', and you have barely a speck of athletic ability. And you hung in there with the best NHL players in the land for 14 years. In this life, you don't have to prove nothin' to nobody but yourself. And after what you've gone through, if you haven't done that by now, it ain't gonna never happen. Now go on back.

We were never going to beat Philly. It’s a mismatch. Winnipeg is a winnable game. 

On any given night, any team in the NHL and probably a few in the AHL could make it look like a mismatch playing against the Sabres.

Actually, in the last 8 games between Buffalo and the Flyers, its 4 wins, 4 losses.

In the last 12 games, its 6 wins, 6 losses.

Go back to 2021-2022, the Sabres had a 5 game win streak over Philly. And that was much the same Sabres team as now (Thompson, Tuch, Dahlin, Krebs, Quinn, Power, 
Samuelsson, Bryson, and UPL were on those teams...Tage with 5 goals across those 6 games and the Sabres leading goal scorer)

No idea what to expect. Will miss the first period and wouldn't be surprised to see them winning 3-0 or losing 5-0 when I get home around the start of the second. No consistency with these guys, a sign of a poorly coached team.

My pre-game is Python sketches. I'm current ly watching John Cleese asking Mike Palin for a pet license for his Halibut. 

*NEARLY* headless?!

OK, UPL in net.

I still don't trust him. Last year his play probably turned me on him more than any other player I can think. I would rather they moved in for spare parts a week ago.

But, they didn't and he's in net now.  So...play a good game. Maybe steal a game for a win. Those of us that don't trust you, win that trust back.

If Ruff and the front office want him as the starter, then be a starter.  no softies tonight.

He played well earlier this week. Hopefully he's starting a heater.

A minor gripe, but I don't understan starting with Krebs, Greenway, and Malenstyn.

Yeah, there is 'setting the tone' I guess, but their shift lasted a total a 19 seconds and nothing happened. You are on the road, so the Jets are going to match your lines not the other way around.

Whatever line you envision getting the most ice time for you, your 'best' line, is going to get matched by the Jets anyway, so just put them out to start the game.

Ok, just 2 minutes later and Krebs, Greenway, and Malenstyn are out there again already, this time for a longer shift.

Maybe Lindy DOES anticipate this is the line he wants the use the most tonight?
