GDT: #10 – Sabres at Senators – Tue Feb 5 – 7:30PM ET – TV: MSG-B – Radio: WGR-AM

[zenthusiast]

To be honest, Enroth was raked before the coals of the defense we hadn't yet recognized as horrible and then came into a game cold. He won't be the reason for the loss here.

 

[McCauleyChirps]

Enroth in net? Let's just hope the Sens don't know about his 5-hole woes.

I think everyone knows about Mr. 5 Hole.

 

[McCauleyChirps]

It would be hilariously awesome if Pardy is able to right the Myers ship.

If he can and does, he'll earn a huge payday.

 

[1TuchAnd1NoTuch]

Sabres can mail it in with a loss here

 

[JOHNBOY]

Sabres prob lose in OT...

 

[buffswords]

Grigs and Stafford have break out games.

5-2 Sabres

Grigs(1 goal, 2 assists)
Stafford(2 goals)
Vanek
Ott

Karlsson
Neil

 

[hottytoddy]

I'm prepared for another stinker so 4-1 Sens

 

[kirby11]

I'm actually optimistic about Pardy, he plays a simple game. Keep the play to the outside, tie guys up in the middle, clear the puck along the boards, make the safe play and get it out of the zone.

...defensemen in this organization still know how to do that?

I'm thinking we lose 5-2. VHP with the goals, Sens shoot 5 hole all night and get rewarded

 

[Dfnswnschmpnshps]

Everyone thought we were going to lose to Boston.... and look what happened.

That being said, Sens win 5-3

 

[Ace1963]

Ruff always throws in the backup in this situation. He's told the team they won't win tonight...it won't even be close.

 

[CrankyJay]

Not expecting a win, but I'm tuning in to watch VHP. They're the only thing intriguing about this season.

 

[thekenneth]

I am picking the sabres to win this one and lose the next 2

 

[S319R11S16]

Anyone excited for the game?

 

[S319R11S16]

LOL. Once you see the size of Enroth's 5 hole, which is commonly confused with a 55 gallon drum, you'll know why.

This dudes on fire

 

[Mit Yarrum]

Anyone excited for the game?

Me. Watching VHP is highly entertaining.

 

[sabresfan129103]

No Ehrhoff is a killer. Not sure how they can win without him.

 

[Rhett4]

Ruff always throws in the backup in this situation. He's told the team they won't win tonight...it won't even be close.

Yeah, this to me stinks of "throwing in the towel." I can just see Ruff thinking, "Gee, we're playing poorly and now Ehrhoff is injured, which means a certain loss. Well, we better not waste Miller. Jhonas, the wolves are hungry!"

Suffice to say, I'm not optimistic. I also expect to see way more "nagging injuries" become an issue as this team's morale continues to plummet. Suddenly the will to play and gut through strains and bruises goes out the window when you're sub .500. And thus a bad problem gets worse.

 

[S319R11S16]

He had ellis in the lineup and then added mcCormick also.

More referring to him actually thinking Ellis was gonna score a goal

 

[hizzoner]

I cannot see Buffalo winning this game or even being close. With the shoddy defence, the certain losses in all defensive draws, only one line scoring, only great goaltending would make this one close away in Ottawa. While I am all set to watch the game I wonder how long before I change the channel!

 

[Kublakhan]

Anyone excited for the game?

Ottawa fans??

 

[EichHart]

Anyone excited for the game?

No.

 

[McCauleyChirps]

ZZzZZzzz

Time for some hockey...or supposed hockey.

 

[Woodhouse]

Ellis, Gonchar scratched.

 

[Squantosawuss]

So Anderson has only given up 9 goals in 8 games-----ALL in the first period?

No goals given up outside of period 1. What's he trying to prove?

This will be interesting......

 

[cybresabre]

Strong anthem to start. Let us go, Buffalo.
