It will be interesting to see if they double down on the gooning or if they play goon free. In either case it will be intentional and part of a larger plan.

Probably not with the new additions here by then.

I think this is Tampa’s game now.  Florida is well equipped to react to thuggery with thuggery, and Tampa chooses to play them that way anyway. I am guessing every game against Tampa is going to look like this as long ad both teams are fighting for the same space in the standings.

My recollection is that Florida-Tampa playoffs were nasty as hell too.  Does my memory match reality?

I just bought 2 tickets against the glass immediately next to the Lightning Penalty box for this game!

I will be taking my youngest son (10 years old) to get him addicted to Sabres hockey.

I have never sat next to the penalty box, does anyone have experiences to share that have been there?

You need to make some signs to caption the players in the box.

"FLUNKED KINDERGARTEN"

'WEARING HIS AUNTIE'S PANTIES"

"LIKES RANCH ON HIS WINGS"

Don’t bang on the glass to get the player’s attention. It’s a low class move.

So Tampa is going to have to fight the drunken fans, too?

The fans are standing up to them, the peanut vendors are standing up to them, and by God, if I could get down there, I'd stand up to them!

Yes. Leading up to the playoffs as well. The games were always must watch tv.

I think a lot of attention was given to the Sabres "standing up" to the Lightning and outskating the Lightning.

People are overlooking the size matchup: the Lightning's top players (Point, Kucherov, Guentzel, Cirelli) are not big and, overall, the Lightning's biggest players are smaller than the Sabres biggest players.

  • Hedman 6'7" 244 * Stanley 6'7" 231
  • Paul 6'4" 234 * Greenway 6'6" 231
  • Cernak 6'4" 230 * Power 6'6" 225
  • Geekie 6'4" 212 * Thompson 6'6" 220
  • Lilleberg 6'3" 215 * Kesselring 6'5" 215
  • Perry 6'3" 210 * Samuelsson 6'4" 229
  • Sabourin 6'3" 205 * Tuch 6'4" 219
  • Crozier 6'3" 204 * Dunne 6'4" 208
  • D'Astous 6'2" 211 * Timmins 6"3" 213
  • McDonough 6'1" 216 * Malenstyn 6'3" 209
  • Raddysh 6'1" 202 * Dahlin 6'3" 204
  • Girgensons 6'3" 197 * McLeod 6'3" 204
  • Hagel 6'2" 186 * Schenn 6'2" 225

It would be interesting if we didn't need the points/win and then Ruff could play the 3 new Winnipeg guys, dress Dunne and call up Geertson, let Dahlin have a maintenance rest day, sit Quinn and Östlund and then the Sabres flip the script and go after Hagel and Kucherov all night just because. That would mess with them.

Someone on Tampa will fight Stanley.  Probably Sabourin. 
 

Someone on Buffalo will run Hagel.
