@amymoritz

Evander Kane: "I've played with, well now pretty much everybody on the team." He's on 4-game point streak for Sabres

@amymoritz

It was a strange week for Carolina, the Sabres continue first-period woes and Ristolainen racks up minutes.

Nah, I don't listen to GR, I was just poking fun at our terrible shootouts.

Time for more baby eating and pillaging in Raleigh. They hate Sabres games down there because we take over their building.

@BuffaloSabres

Coach Bylsma: Lehner starts in goal. We need to be better at the start of games. That's a big focus.

[26CornerBlitz]

@amymoritz

Getting a better start, Lehner in goal and the Foligno Hair Flip. Five things to know for the #Sabres game tonight.

@BuffaloSabres

"Right now is the time to make the push, not the end of February." Sabres getting in right mindset for tonight: http://bufsabres.co/aQ0O9d

 

Here's how the lineup could look, with either Carrier or Deslauriers assuming the role of fourth-line left wing.

 

82 Marcus Foligno - 90 Ryan O'Reilly - 23 Sam Reinhart
26 Matt Moulson - 15 Jack Eichel - 21 Kyle Okposo
9 Evander Kane - 22 Johan Larsson - 12 Brian Gionta
44 Nicolas Deslauriers/48 William Carrier - 27 Derek Grant - 28 Zemgus Girgensons

 

29 Jake McCabe - 55 Rasmus Ristolainen
77 Dmitry Kulikov - 47 Zach Bogosian
4 Josh Gorges - 6 Cody Franson

 

40 Robin Lehner
31 Anders Nilsson

[JohnC]

I'm predicting that Kane will score in this game. If he doesn't my credibility will still be the same because I didn't have any credibility to begin with.

[4merper4mer]

 

@BuffaloSabres

Coach Bylsma: Lehner starts in goal.

 

 

 

 

Will he be standing up or laying down?

[YoloinOhio]

At the CBJ - Penguins game. Looking at < 50% Pens fans for once. Winner takes outright 1st in metropolitan

Brutal. Just brutal.

 

When the players on this team care half as much as the fans do, perhaps we'll have something.

 

Nice to see Eichel get his head out of his ass and play with some passion for a change. Why, he even finished a check in the offensive zone. Hallephuckinlujah.

 

This team is in dire need of Chris Drury leadership. Somebody to go into the locker room, tell the coaches to get the phuck out, and then proceed to toss every ipod, phone, or other device they may listen to out into the hallway and then light them up. Drury tossed more than one boom box out of the room to get their attention. And we won't make any headway until somebody decides to get in the grills of all these under achievers and demands they get their heads out of their collective asses.

 

I look forward to our late season 12 game unbeaten streak that puts us 3 points out of the playoffs because, you know, only late season games mean something. Hard to phucking accept.

 

End rant.

What a disjointed effort. No flow or chemistry to their game at all tonight.
