[Woodhouse]

Time to put the condor to work again.

 

[Aladyyn]

With that said I wouldn't mind paying for the official service, except when I tried it last season I couldn't get VODs to work which pretty much completely kills the whole thing for me.

 

[LaxSabre]

Sabres win a crazy one 7-6. Since I have him in the points game - Ristolanien is in on every Sabres goal - 3 goals - 4 assists.
Okposo-O'Reilly-Reinhart-Laine-Scheifele-Wheeler-Myers all score at least one goal/one or two assists each.

Radio Note - Because WGR 550 AM airs both the Bills and the Sabres and theres a conflict today (Bills play at 1:00 pm ET/Sabres play at 3:00 pm ET) -
Bills-Patriots will be on WGR 550 AM while the Sabres-Jets will be on WBEN 930 AM.

As frequent visitor to your fine city and it's people, Good luck boys! Lets hope for a good game today.

 

[hris]

Thanks for the thread


and

Let's hope our Sabres have

'it'

.

 

[joshjull]

Win today and we're .500.

Just stick with what we did yesterday and we've got a good chance. If Baptiste is in we should get more effective play from our 4th line. Maybe give them a bit more ice time to give the others a break in this back to back.

 

[hizzoner]

My natural optimism has taken a beating lately and with the timing of this game I do not see the good guys winning. Please just do not suck......

 

[Steddy33]

Does anyone know why Bailey has had a shot yet?I know it's only been 2 call ups but it seems like he is being passed by Baptiste in the Sabres eyes

 

[thekenneth]

where's stafford? (injured)

anyone else want backsies on the jets vs sabres trade?

Thanks Mr. Selanne

Baptiste has looked better so far this year, both in training camp and in Rochester. So for now, yes, he's passed Bailey.

 

[AustonsNostrils]

god damn Lehner is in net. what a complete idiot Bylsma is, goalie coming off a shutout, players no doubt have some confidence in him - ugh

 

[Myllz]

god damn Lehner is in net. what a complete idiot Bylsma is, goalie coming off a shutout, players no doubt have some confidence in him - ugh

It was a scheduled start for Lehner and a back to back. Playing Lehner is fine.

Sweet jesus get a grip.

 

[Fearnot]

Sweet jesus get a grip.

He's Bi-Polar give him a break. It's a real illness

 

[tsujimoto74]

It's a back-to-back. Of all the things one could complain about with this team, this is one of the silliest.

 

[Woodhouse]

Lehner in goal. Baptiste in, Deslauriers (knee; week-to-week) out.

 

[HogtownSabresfan]

It's a back-to-back. Of all the things one could complain about with this team, this is one of the silliest.

Crazy complain. Lehner is your man. I don't care about a one off shutout. Lehner is good or we won't be this season. Plus, back to back makes it a no brainer.

 

[Zip15]

god damn Lehner is in net. what a complete idiot Bylsma is, goalie coming off a shutout, players no doubt have some confidence in him - ugh

Yawn. It's a back-to-back, and they aren't starting Nilsson for the 3rd time in less than 72 hours. Get a grip.

 

[Zip15]

This is a loss. Rested opponent. Road game. Second of a back-to-back, third in four, and fourth in six. I'm sure the vultures will be circling for this one.

It certainly doesn't help matters but it is what it is. Something teams have to deal with. Philly managed to overcome it and dominate the 3rd against us on their way to a come back win.

You always love to throw out these built in excuses. As if they are up against impossible odds. Setting the table to complain when Disco gets criticized That fans are ignoring this. And some do to be sure. But we can play our 3rd game in 4 nights and still lose due to poor coaching decisions and not simply because we're tired. Or it could be both playing a factor.

But we're going to win so it's all good.

 

[HogtownSabresfan]

Lehner is our only hope in this one. Maybe, he'll be spooked by competition in net.
