GDT: Sabres vs Islanders 7 PM ET TV:MSG Radio:WGR550 - Hockey Fights Cancer

[MOGlLNY]

I feel like we've been better than the Islanders for 3 seasons now, but the Isle still manage to squeeze more points out of every season than us. Also doesn't help that in head to head match ups they've gotten some ridiculously over the top help from the officials.

They're old, slow and unskilled. They turn every game into a clutch and grab grindfest with the intention of making it to overtime. Don't let them get away with it.

It's part of the league now but they just find a way to get the loser point so often. Drives me nuts but I wish we could do the same.

Must win

Come out of the weekend 2-0 is the goal.

Goaltending and veteran players.

 

[Mattilaus]

The Islanders have played 10 games. They've gotten shutout in 4 and have 22 goals in the other 6 (IE, 3.75 GPG).

Feast or famine team.....that has ONE regulation win this season.......and they're going to be without their best offensive player.

No reason whatsoever to not get at least 1 point tonight.




So we ALL know what's happening -- we're getting creamed 6-0

Nah, we lose 3-1 with 45 shots and the gwg is kicked in. This is the Buffalo way.

Not a fan of 2 weeks between starts for Levi. I feel like the handling of goaltenders was an issue in Ruff's first tenure. He'd ride Miller into the ground and then the backup would suck because he hadn't played in 2 or 3 weeks.

Don't like it either, but KA has produced a situation that isn't good for either goalie and no way for Ruff to make it better.

It's not Ruff's fault Levi is here instead of in Rochester. That's on KA for not having an NHL back up.

It really is amazing to see just what a bumbling incompetent Kevyn is. Maybe if Pegula fires him he'll replace him with Conehead.

There is a sizeable chance he voiced his opinion on the matter. This roster has Lindy's fingerprints all over it. We've seen in the past that Adams would listen to Granato's input on roster moves.

Barzal is injured so the task "should" be easier

so certain about bumbling instead of choices

I'm sure they'd love to have him in roc but ... choices n shite. we'll see if Levi is the correct one

Hide your Bud Light... I'm coming for ya!

Section 114

mine is still hidden at the grocery store/gas station.....

 

[Bobby Bottle Service]

Great call on the Swannie!

 

[NotABadPeriod]

The last 6am start

False, tomorrow's game is same time, DST doesn't end until after the game.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

Goaltending and veteran players.

Plus low event hockey produces more ties

 

[Intermission]

Let me try and make it past the National Anthem...

Then we can talk about cancer and hockey and every other stupid thing..

 

[Sabre the Win]

To me this game will speaks volumes moving forward. Islanders always give the Sabres problems. It's time to skate over this geriatric squad. Let's see if they can win.

Win tonight and get back into the playoff hunt. Lose tonight and flirt with being at the bottom of the conference. It's as simple as that.

F CANCER!

...Well he had one ahem

 

[old kummelweck]

There is a sizeable chance he voiced his opinion on the matter. This roster has Lindy's fingerprints all over it. We've seen in the past that Adams would listen to Granato's input on roster moves.

I would believe he was involved in the Reimer waiver situation, but Adam's hasn't really done much to bring someone in so they can get Levi games in Roch. I also think they aren't 100% on UPL yet, despite having to pay him, and they think there's a chance Levi may push in this year. The problem is UPL has been good enough to get the starter tag, but he hasn't left Levi in the dust, so Ruff continues trying to get one going, and that's UPL.

Hope Levi looks elite tonight.

 

[stokes84]

Here’s hoping Krebs can take advantage of his opportunity. Would be awesome if he could break out.

 

[TheBarnIsElectric]

Big game tonight!

The new anthem singer does a nice job. Beautiful voice and doesn't take 20 minutes to get through them. I appreciate that.
