Pittsburgh is an interesting team. A vet team that will put a mistake in the back of your net, but seemingly on the downturn. Any indication on who is getting the start?

Rutger McGroarty did not partake in the Penguins' morning line rushes. Usually a fair indicator of being a healthy

Jarry first off per Pens Inside Scoop.

The Penguins are a sneaky team. They will win games by taking advantage of mistakes by more talented groups. Need to shut down their superstars and play a smart sound game

It'll be interesting to see who comes out. I won't be surprised if Lindy gives Benson the night off to heal.



The Pens always give us trouble. Let's see if Lindy's influence and the way we've played the last 2 games help us in that regard.

I guess they are just going to alternate games in goal?

Too early to say anyone is taking over the net.

Sure seems that way for now. I guess they'll alternate until one goalie clearly steps up over the other, maybe?

I feel like alot of our TNT games are against Pittsburgh...

Anyway, I feel like this is gonna be a Sabres win.

Dahlin is gonna have a 3 point night after feeding Krebsy some knuckle sandwiches..

They're still a good team...especially in Pittsburgh. Not gonna be an easy one

Moneypuck has it as basically a coin flip.

That franchise has given Buffalo problems for the better part of 35 years. That probably doesn’t change tonight. It seems forever ago when Gus had that hustle play to beat out Gino for the empty net goal in an early season win. That was what, two? seasons ago.

A hockey game on truTV just seems so weird to me.

It’d be like airing an episode of Kitchen Nightmares on the Hallmark Channel.

Yep, in those weird white goat heads.

Letang was water skiing on Gus after that helmet came off, how is that overlooked lmao.

Pilut, what could have been

 

[Bobby Bottle Service]

Interesting to see if the game-by-game improvement continues.

Some might argue that the past 13 years of the Sabres franchise has been a true crime story.

Not me. I am just here to watch the angst.

Gotta take advantage of the Pens starting Jarry, his struggles last year have carried over so far. Admittedly small sample size, but he's given up 9 goals across 2 starts so far.

The Sabres will get him back on track

His goals above expected are actually good, from what they were saying on the Athletic podcast. It’s their team defense that’s ripe for taking advantage of.
