GDT: HOME OPENER! Chicago Blackhawks vs Buffalo Sabres @ 7PM 10/3/2025, MSG and ESPN+

[#freejame]

Big win incoming. I don’t know the last opener I went to, but I’ll be there tonight!

[LGR4GM]

Sabres should be able to skate this team into the ground. Curious to see Zellweger tonight.

Let's go!

Looking forward to this! I expect more sloppiness...short preseasons have implications.

Let's see some progress!

[PromoTheRobot]

Flying in for the Sabres and Bills. I'll be there tonight.

[PromoTheRobot]

I wonder what's planned?

 

[That Aud Smell]

Let’s Go, Buffalo!!

[Derrico]

I’ll be there!  Go Sabres!!

[FrenchConnection44]

Just win, baby!

Let’s go, Buffalo!

Looks like the wife scheduled a dinner date for us tonight with another couple. 

why do I have to be social?     DARN IT ALL!!  

 

ok, looks like I’m missing this one.

I have a feeling that UPL gets booed tonight during intros. I really hope I’m wrong. 
 

I don’t particularly love him but I’ve never been a fan of booing individual players. Boo the coaches and the power play. (I realize boos may have unlocked Samuelson beast mode)

I'm betting Colton Chaos gets the nod. They have to see what they have in him at some point.

[LGR4GM]

Luukkonen is the starter

[muppy]

I'm setting my watch. I want to view as many games as I can this year. This is my first full Sabres season having access to watch

ILH

 

GO SABRES

[LGR4GM]

If you need the proof

It will be a bloodbath if he has a bad game. 
 

Surprised not to go with the rotation from last year. Maybe this is Jarmos try out for UPL

Hopefully a legit starting goaltender?

Intros and puck drop at the same time would be a surprise.

I'm also hearing all "fans" who have been critical of the offseason will be spotlighted in their seats. Yes, they have the technology, finally. Ted's dream has come true.

Could you imagine if Helly walked out for intros

I really hope UPL comes out strong because one bad goal tonight could crush him mentally. Can't start the season 0-2 with so much depending on the youth once again.

Can't start 0-2 by losing to ***** Chicago.

After already being called out on twitter? A little on the nose

A win today would count as double as Chicago losing would be just as good. Get it done

No.  The  fans will cheer with choruses of Luuuuke.  This is Buffalo, not Toronto.

They have the exact same goalie rotation as last year.  A goalie can get two straight games, especially in game 2 and with a day off in between.
