Pre-Game Talk: Slugs @ Mike Card

[Sasha Cares]

Half the Sabers are at Mura right now. Considering a food poisoning attack if approved by the mods.

[Finlandia WOAT]

Expecting another great night from the top line. They get matched against Pominville and Hodgeson (Vanek in?), and....gg.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Blowout loss

 

[Roboturner913]

Looking forward to a nice beatdown. Team is going to have a chip on their shoulder now, everybody's saying the season is over because of Wardo being out.

........on second thought, 16-4 Sabres.

 

[Novacane]

Feeling a win here for no reason.

 

[MD]

Will be at the game tomorrow and Thursday. Hoping for a couple more big wins.

 

[Roboturner913]

got bored

 

[Wolfpuck]

Get your brooms and sweep the Slugs off the porch

 

[HisIceness]

For a moment here I thought this was the GDT.

Anyways Ellis better eat his wheaties tomorrow.

 

[Novacane]

I hope Ellis' flu, or whatever he has, hasn't progressed any further.

No no... I will be handling that, my good friend

 

[AhoLottaLove]

2-3 overtime loss.

E. Staal and Dwyer with the goals.

Sangs blows a two on one in OT for the loss.

 

[Unsustainable]

I will be happy if we score a goal.

 

[donkshow]

Time for the Dan Ellis show.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Time for the Dan Ellis show.

You are so right

 

[Anton H Christ]

crucial mother******* game right here folks.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

This game reminds me of the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Scorpion"

With the Sabres playing the part of the Borg and us playing the part of Species 8472.

If that's truly the case, I fully expect a 14-0 win. (discounting Federation interference that is)

The great Bill Cowher joins @JohnForslund and me in the booth 2nd period 2night! #tapintomindofSuperBowlChampion

This should be interesting.

@TrippTracy
Justin Peters going 2night for Canes it would appear. Dan Ellis not on ice.

Looks like we'll get to see if Peters is ready to step up or not right away.

Please tell me there was a 'j/k..lololololol' behind that?

Automatic loss

And thats not a joke... Peters is terrible

If Ellis is hurt, thats the end of the season. We cannot win games with Peters in net. If he's out for any length of time, its time to pack up and plan for next year cause we just don't have enough competence in net to content, regardless of the rest of the team.

If Ellis is hurt, re-sign Semin, and just unload players like Jussi and LaRose and try to get something for the future. No sense in trying to push for the playoffs when you have Peters in net nightly.

 

[Identity404]

Peters was 2-3-2 with .931 SV% and 2.48 GAA last season. Not terrible. I have been harsh on him in the past but still think he has the ability to be a NHL backup.

 

[Revenge of the Sieve]

Possibly

Automatic loss

And thats not a joke... Peters is terrible

I'm cautiously optimistic. He played alright last season (at least better than the season before) and seems like the organization seems to think he's having his best year in Charlotte as well. He doesn't have to be THE man now, that's on Ellis.

 

[Oenatzu]

Not surprised. Ellis is ill and wasn't at 100% against the Cats. I have close to zero trust in Pete Dawg but I hope he can prove me wrong here.

 

[caniac247]

Last time Peters faced the Slugs he gave up 4 goals in 29 minutes. Gonna be a long night if he does in fact start. It actually could get ugly. I hope he proves me wrong, but I just don't trust him when he's in net.
