What does that mean? Buffalo 5-0

Buff isn't losing an 11th game in a row, so we all know how this will end.

 

[Fatbiggie]

Perfect timing for Buffalo to get out of their funk

 

[Hannibal]

We’ll win this easy

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Very important loss here , gotta stop winning against these garbage teams

Buffalo is on a 10 game losing skid. Levi was called up & played in the loss against Toronto on Sunday.

Montreal & Buffalo have identical records: 11-16-4 for Buffalo & 11-16-3 for Montreal, who has played one less game. They even have the same amount of RWs (8) & ROWs (10). Buffalo's goal differential is much better (-12 to -31). They don't get blown out as much as Montreal does.

Montreal getting 2 pts means they jump Buffalo and move out of the East's basement.

Both these teams are thinking the same thing: "This is a winnable game."

Slight advantage to Montreal, as they're playing at home & actually have a .529 winning percentage at home.

They’ve lost ten in a row. We lost ten in 12. A four and six game streak sandwiching two wins.

Habs is the best team in the NHL to end others team losing streaks.

6-4 Buffalo tonight.

Re-watching the Jets game and trying to analyze things; there are some changes to the forward lines If like to see:

Caufield - Suzuki - Slafkovsky
Laine - Dach - Anderson
Newhook - Evans - Heineman
Armia - Dvorak - Gallagher

First line is all skill, second is skill and size, third is energy with speed and some skill and the fourth is what's left over.

Thought about Gallagher on the third but I don't think he should play over Heineman and we need Newhook to develop into something of worth. So Gallagher gets anchored with the wortless, useless bums.

While Anderson isn't ideal for a top six role, his board play of late has been good and he could maybe help out Dach and Laine with that sort of play. Maybe he gets inspired on an offensive line and brings some of his mythical grit to the line as well. If he fails here, switch him with Heineman.

I love the enthusiasm here... LOL.

Should be a doozy. "Too bad" I have xmas dinner at a brazilian BBQ place, otherwise I'd be all over that classic game. Shacks!

They should call up Flojack! And let him and his brother loose

With this squad there are no easy games.

Rooting for Sabres to end the streak.

Yes. Anderson carrying Dach who is back with Laine centering the 2nd. FML.

yikes Buffalo 10 game losing streak? Wonder if they have a series on Crave about rebuilding and how they are actually in the mix.
