GAME PREVIEW

PROJECTED LINEUPS

​

Notes: John Marino absent from last practice while Friedman returned.

​

Notes: Blank Sabres D jersey is some guy called Jacob Bryson. Taylor Hall is really regretting his decision.

Last Meeting:
Over a year ago....March 5, 2020.
Result: 4-2 Penguins Win
Goals scored by Hornqvist (2), Crosby, Pettersson

Fun Fact:
-The band 311 got it's name because 311 is the police code for indecent exposure in Omaha, Nebraska where the guitarist of the band was arrested for streaking. I'm not sure what the code is for streaking in Buffalo, but the Pens hope to find out by extending their winning streak.

Mike Sullivan is 1 win away from becoming the 4th American NHL coach to reach 300 wins.

Great Moments in Buffalo Sports History:

Mike Sullivan's message to Penguins HF:

I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere​

I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
I'll be here a while​

Nice GDT!

 

[Big McLargehuge]

What the shit? A different opponent?!

 

[Sidgeni Malkby]

6-0-x come on now!

Heck I don’t even mind loser points here.

 

[Gold Diamond]

311 sucks.

Great GDT, however.

311 sucks.

Woooah. Amber’s definitely not the color of your energy.

How many points for ERod tonight? He’s due for an offensive explosion any game now.

 

[EightyOne]

That flippity flop goal by Kasparaitis was awesome

311 sucks.

They really do. 2 out of their 3 songs that I can actually enjoy have been provided.

Quick glimpse into my childhood....my mother would always read the lyrics of any CD that my brother and I bought before letting us have it (Jesus don't like naughty music and such). I have a vivid memory of the look my mother gave us as she read aloud "Have you ever made out in dark hallways?" Tame for today's (and even back then) standards. We would just wait for her to go to bed and get our CD's out of the trash anyways.

 

[Ryder71]

Very nice GDT!

 

[Scandale du Jour]

We better destroy these guys. Both today and on Saturday. Let's go!

 

[Andy99]

please...just don’t lose to the Sabres of all teams...no wide open game...play them with structure like the Isles do and they’ll fold...

 

[Ryder71]

Looks like Eichel will miss both games.

Sabres' Eichel out at least one week with injury

 

[Bingo71]

Mike Sullivan has almost outdone Bylsma....in more ways than one...

 

[Ryder71]

We better destroy these guys. Both today and on Saturday. Let's go!

As long as we win and no one gets injured we're good. Just Win and get the hell outta Buffalo.

 

[Borgir]

Looks like Eichel will miss both games.

Sabres' Eichel out at least one week with injury

Rumour floating around he is done for the year.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

As long as we win and no one gets injured we're good. Just Win and get the hell outta Buffalo.

Fair.

I want our guys to dominate though. Gain more confidence.

 

[ownal]

No Sheary.... No problem.

 

[gopens66]

311 sucks.

Great GDT, however.

I agree, Great GDT!

I completely disagree on 311! I'm a drummer into metal/hard rock/prog/funk and I absolutely love 311.



Go Pens!

 

[dalewood12]

That Sabres D.

 

[EightyOne]

Rumour floating around he is done for the year.

Would YOU come back in a short season for THAT team?

 

[Khelandros]

Does Staal still sit at the red line cherry picking? The Pens have never been able to figure out how to stop him from doing it against them. Now he is on a line with ex-Pen Sheahan, so one of those two dudes is leaving this game with 2 goals.

 

[ownal]

These two games alone will get Malkin into a positive +/- for the season.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Come back from Buffalo with two Ws and Eichel or bust.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

Gonna be a blowout 5-1 Sabres win.

But actually, it will probably be a closer game than anticipated. The Sabre's probably know that we need to crush them repeatedly to get into the playoffs and they will to not get embarrassed.
Let's hope Hall, Eichel and Skinner don't suddenly wake up against us.
