GDT: Gm#26 9-Dec-22 PIT @ BUF 7pm MSG-B, WGR55, ESPN8 "The Ocho"

[Ralonzo]

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

 

[Chainshot]

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?

The Co-Caps teams maybe? Especially against the Flyers?

I'm thinking 2010 Miller.

They're wearing those stupid white pants again.

 

[Chainshot]

They're wearing those stupid white pants again.

Yes, sadly. It's the thing that just doesn't work with those alt jerseys.

 

[Ralonzo]

Pens pre-game also reporting that Tage Thompson is "the Sabres' towering winger."

Maybe this is why teams are having a problem defending him?

 

[Chainshot]

I forgot that Vic had 2 the last time they played and it was the game before the start of their losing streak. These teams went hard in opposite directions after that.

 

[BUCKSHOT]

Yes, sadly. It's the thing that just doesn't work with those alt jerseys.

Blue pants would be outstanding

I get why they went with white, but it woulda been cool to see a yellow version instead, with the B and sword logo as the main.

Maybe next RR cycle.

Sabres PR hasn't been really missing lately so I would love to know who the hell decided white pants, white gloves and a blue helmet was a good idea with these jerseys.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

God is lazy, apparently

I've seen Peterka and Quinn switched on line-up listings a few times now. Is this actually a thing? Peterka on the LW and Quinn at RW?

 

[old kummelweck]

Predicting the Jost line has a statement game tonight. 2 goals 5 points from that line.

I'm not sure if they just look at handedness and make it up. *shrug* At least our PR folks aren't saying Tage is a winger...

Yes. Although they really only lineup that way during faceoffs

From Jost himself

Vic's last "big game" was against the Pens so it's possible.

Or did you mean against them?

 

[MOGlLNY]

Oh shit Tage's game has the place juiced!

 

[DeletedUser539]

Blue pants would be outstanding

Royal blue too and a helmet

 

[markpenske]

not a fan of the white diaper pants

And the Pens faithful have once again made the drive. That's a lot of Pens fans in the lower bowl.

Can we really not find a semi-pro anthem singer? Some of the renditions this year have been… woof.
