Pimlach Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 I am always concerned when we play Pitts. I would love to see a 5-1 win in regulation. Close games against this team are high stress. 2 Quote
Mr Peabody Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 I’ve had very little stress in my life since I retired 8+ years ago. And now the Sabres are in a playoff hunt…. 1 4 Quote

Maybe I catch one in the face by Crosby if I’m lucky. If someone yells 🦆 duck they are not referring to a 🐦 bird. I strongly recommend that you immediately hit the deck. 😎 1 Quote

#freejame Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 Sounds like no Benson or Norris which is both smart and unfortunate. Our record without Benson isn’t great. 2 3 Quote
TageMVP Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 2 hours ago, GASabresIUFAN said: The CBJ won again last night. They now have 65 pts in 56 games. Man I really hope Columbus runs out of gas soon and goes on a long losing streak. They've been crazy over the last few weeks. That roster isn't the best, but they have a playoff style team and are relentless. Werenski is underrated/doesn't get talk about enough in my opinion. Hopefully we don't play them anymore this year Quote

This will be #9, so tonight would be his final one if they didn't want to burn the slide year. (But... with hopefully 3 forwards returning after the break, that would be a good stopping point for Konsta on the Sabres for this season. The vets would see it home, and we'll see him again next year as the 1-2 forward callup.) 2 Quote

I like Metsa’s D better but Bryson is fast - don’t know enough about Pens to guess whether they need the added speed Bryson brings. 1 Quote

With Norris and Benson both out the top 6 and the bottom 6 are weaker. Just one more game to grind out. Has anything been said about Benson? Edited February 5 by Pimlach Quote

Hopefully we don't play them anymore this year As somebody else had pointed out, the BJs have had a really soft schedule since their coaching change happened. 5 cupcakes (Cal, Van, Chix2, & St. Louis) out of their last 12 games. And arguably 7 cupcakes in that stretch - Filly and Joisey have not been playing particuarly well recently and are above only the Rags in conference. Their schedule gets tougher, but they have to be playing with a ton of confidence right now. And, even though the schedule was soft, they still needed to actually play well enough to win all those games they have. Also, as mentioned elsewhere, the Sabres play them for the last time this season on Thursday 4/9. Quote
Doohickie Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 1 hour ago, Brawndo said: After last game I think I'd prefer to see Rosen anywhere but the 4th line. I think he's a good player, just not that kind of player. I'd rather put Doan or Helenius on the 4th line: Doan because I think it would make the line even more abrasive *and* dangerous, and Helenius just to see how he'd do on an energy line. 3 Quote

Pimlach Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 Bad news for me. I was reminded that I am taking the wife to see a play tonight. No hockey game for me. Something about Alicia Keys and Hell's Kitchen something, something, something. I will check in afterwards. 1 Quote
