[Sabre the Win]

I have a feeling this may be our loss only loss on this road trip because Gibson stands on his head.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

Yay, more hockey!

500 the Over/under on Sabres fans/jerseys in the crowd tonight.

 

[Waterfowlist]

Booo. Too early in the season for a west coast swing. I can’t stay up that late!

I sometimes stay to watch the 2AM start from eastern europe. Pretty sure anyone can handle 10PM start

[Dreakon13]

Sigh... the west coast trip. We meet again.

With as early as I'm up every morning, I can barely finish the regular 7-7:30pm games without risking cutting into my night (where I usually sleep like crap anyways but I digress). The west coast trip is basically just a week or so of no Sabres hockey for me. So soon after the offseason finally ended, smh.

If I can dodge scores and highlights until I get home from work the following day, I'll try and catch the games somehow... but most likely just read through the GBU's and watch highlights and call it a day.

Go Sabres!

 

[Dahlin 2 Eichel]

If we come away with 3 out of 6 points I will be happy. Sabres play a lot of hockey in a short time span.

 

[Weltschmerz]

Wait Sheary was week to week 7 days ago and now he is day to day?

Wasn't it suppossed to be day to day, then week to week then out forever?

Nothing beats cheering a tank at 5.30 in the morning!

 

[Gabrielor]

Nap time at around 6. I hate the late games

 

[MackAttack26]

Hoping for 4 out of 6 points on this swing.

3-1 Ducks.

Gibson is a God.

 

[lauraP]

go duck yourself,

sabres 3-1

Skinner x 2

[SabresSharks]

This California trip will be a good early-season test for a team that has started the season stronger than any of us dared imagine.

3 games in 4 nights, but no travel before tomorrow's game against LA (do they even change hotels?), and a short flight to San Jose.

Too much Gibson worship in here. LA is brutal. Sharks are thin at forward, and inconsistent in goal. I'd like to see the Sabres come home with 4 points at least.

 

[Kc232]

I'd be pretty impressed if they pull out a W tonight. Hopefully they put up a better game in front of Ullmark compared to his first two outings.

 

[Beerz]

Game at 1030.

Bed after 1am probably.

Wake up at 5am.

Not looking forward to it

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

Gibson playing?

 

[Buffaloed]

Wait Sheary was week to week 7 days ago and now he is day to day?

Wasn't it suppossed to be day to day, then week to week then out forever?

That's a mathematical theory known as the Bogosian Progression.

 

[threeVo]

Hopefully Risto puts on a show for his future team

 

[Dubi Doo]

Game at 1030.

Bed after 1am probably.

Wake up at 5am.

Not looking forward to it

Hopefully they show up, and stomp out the Ducks to ease the suffering!

10 pm Eastern start I believe, so at least you’ll be sleeping by 12:45!

 

[Mike McDermott]

I should be getting home from work shortly before puck drop or right at puck drop. I don’t imagine I’ll make staying up for the whole game but at least I’ll be able to see some of the game. If it is a close/interesting game I might push myself to watch it all.

This swing will show a lot of what this team is.

The Cali teams used to be murderer's row. Not so much anymore, but still a test on the road nonetheless.
