Pre-game info / recent stats from the Sabres / NHL website.

Cotton: "Sabres will attempt to be the first New York team in hockey history to win back-to-back home-and-home games vs. a Pennsylvania opponent after scoring 9 goals in the state of Ohio on a Wednesday two weeks before the winter solstice."
Pepper: "I'm surprised it's never been done before, Cotton. But if there's one team who can do it, it's the Sabres. I'm feeling Erie just thinking about it."

Sid vs The Kids in a home and home should be fun.

Can we not wear the white on white color combo? Like ever again?

I want the blood of Crosby to be nice and visible on our uniforms

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Time to get back to .500 tonight and beat these fools.

Angry Goat Diaper jerseys.

Games after we drub the opponent always make me nervous. I hope we come out swinging and don't expect to make/get fancy plays/goals. Keep it simple stupid. Great advice... Hurts my feelings every time.

 

[Beerz]

I feel like they don't play well in these uniforms

Blue Jackets played Pittsburgh on Tuesday night. Their next game was against Buffalo.

Pittsburgh played the Blue Jackets on Tuesday night. Their next 2 games are against Buffalo.


Feeling good about getting a split and we're riding high right now.

6 - 3 for the good guys. TNT comes back to earth and is limited to 3 points tonight.

 

[Gurglesons]

Tage is frothing at the mouth.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

A win here gets us to 500…even if only for less that 24 hours, it’s an improvement and a pace they need to be winning at. Good sign for sure.

The Pens PK vs the Sabres PP seems like one major subplot tonight. Both are near the top of their respective categories and the Pens haven’t allowed a power play goal against in something like 8 of 9 or 9 of 10?

Agree - royal goatheads or bust

Pittsburgh is 8-1-1 in the last 10, real yardstick game.

10-2-2 since their losing streak too. It's impressive how they turned it around.

My prophetic post for tonight's G,B,U....Good: Raging Tage Thompson

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Jarry playing well lately but he hasn’t had a stick of TNT dumped into his pants yet either.

If we are making predictions - Sid cup checks someone important on the Sabres, knocking them out for at least a few shifts.

You say cup check, I (and the refs) say interference by the Sabre player’s junk.

 

[Jimmybarndoor2]

Face Jarry tonite. Gonna need a good game

 

[EichHart]

I'll be there tonight, should be a packed house based on trying to buy tickets for it. Please get a W!!

Pittsburgh this season goes through large stretches of games looking totally indifferent. Usually they do get around to ramping it up, but if you can get 'em well behind the 8-ball they may not be able to overcome it, or maybe they tune out (except Crosby). They do tend to start slow, and Buffalo lately has been much the opposite. If the Sabres can jump out quick, 2 or 3 goal lead, then the Pittsburgh slow simmer might not avail them.

I would be worried if the Pens get out early that they are veteran enough to choke off the rush chances for Buffalo. Think of the Tampa games…

Two World Cup games to PK's today, Sabres and Pens shootout.

Sid has been on another level recently. Let's see how Tage matches up.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

It's amazing that we have a guy that strikes terror into opposing GDTs. When was the last time people dreaded playing someone wearing the blue and gold?
