GDT: #19 – Islanders at Sabres – Sat Feb 23 – 7:00PM ET – TV: MSG-B – Radio: WGR-AM

[Royisgone]

Anyone else watching this game with indifference?

Of course. Been there since about game 4 of the season, when I realized we would miss the playoffs...again.

Anyone else watching this game with indifference?

I can't say that I am.

I'm choosing to not watch the game, but I have a heavy amount of interest in seeing the Sabres be far enough out of the playoffs that they have a legit firesale at the deadline, which I've been wishing for, for four years now.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Vanek with the miss.

 

[ugly casanova*]

Looks like the old Vanek is back, can't even hit the net #sameoldvanek

 

[Daz28]

Vanek with the miss.

He's hurting so bad he can't even shake his head in disgust on the bench. To me that's proof he's hurt. The guy ALWAYS slams his stick and shakes his head after that.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

That was a pretty solid period for us. Its just too bad we have to play the Death Period next (Aka the 2nd period).

 

[Zip15]

Anyone else sleepy?

 

[ZZamboni]

Of course. Been there since about game 4 of the season, when I realized we would miss the playoffs...again.

So with a 2-2 record, you already started watching with a "I don't really care what this team does this year" attitude.



Glad I don't watch games with you!

I swear if I am forced to listen to that Bruno Mars song one more ****ing time

I'd rather listen to Bruno Mars than Justin Bieber...Nicki Minaj...Taylor Swift...do you want me to continue?

 

[sba]

I really didn't hate them that period. They skated well for most of it.

I wouldn't hold your breath for a firesale. We all know Regier often overvalues the talent on his roster. There will have to be a lot of desperate teams out there come deadline day for that to happen.

 

[Luceni]

Pretty solid period so far.
Our PP sucks. Grabner looks dangerous out there but so does Hodgson.

I feel a pretty close low scoring game. I can't see us or the Islanders scoring more than 2 goals tonight.

oh hell no! I luuuuuv me some T-Swizzle! It's my not-so-guilty pleasure music

moi aussi. If they can play with this intensity, it will become contagious for those who weren't playing hard.

 

[Imagining Defeat]

They played with some "jam", but are still messy in their own end...

 

[99problems]

Still embarrassing in their own end..

Deserve to be in the cellar of the conference..

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

I would much rather drink myself to sleep than watch this teams effort through another 2nd period.

 

[ckg927]

Music-wise, I'd LOVE to see the Sabres use a video open set to Kromestatik's "The Night"; preferably, find one of the versions on YouTube that has a longer mix; it's PERFECT to put some RJ goal calls in there. (Yes, it's RAW's theme music, but it can work well with hockey.)

If you're expecting a full firesale, prepare to be disappointed. I can't imagine they'll trade much beyond their impending UFAs.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Time to start the Period of Doom.

 

[Prospero]

Making the most of it

They played with some "jam", but are still messy in their own end...

Let's hope we get some peanut butter to go with that jam, ie. Baaam. Let's go Buffalo!

 

[PanicItsVanek26]

Great save by Miller.

 

[kenfury]

I know it is only two games but I am liking a more mobile Myers and the stretch passes.

 

[Daz28]

We're blinking Ron.


DO SOMETHING!

 

[MacOfNiagara]

Great shift by Ott. Supporting the D down low and laying the body.
