Go Sabres! Try not to get shut out this time!

 

[DON VITO]

Sabres win 3-2 - O'Reilly - Reinhart - Risto with goals!

 

[Oakstream]

Almost every game I've seen so far has been a loss. I won't be able to see this so I'm predicting a Sabres W. 4-2

 

[Wisent42]

Seems Fasching and Kane are skating this morning, but Ennis and ROR are not. So... Grant on the top line?

Edit:



I'm guessing this means ROR is playing and Fasching is just a placeholder.

 

[Zip15]

Have to win this against a tired Ottawa team that played in Nashville last night.

Over/Under 10.5 games in which ROR, Okposo, Kane, Eichel, and Reinhart are all in the lineup. I'd be tempted to take the under on that one.

Seems like 90 is maintenance and will play, but Ennis out. Kane takes Moulson's spot on the top line, and Moulson fills the vacancy created by Ennis' injury; Fasching likely sits.

 

[LaxSabre]

Sabres win 3-1 - Okposo 2 goals.

 

[Woodhouse]

Lehner again tonight, as he's off first. Agree with the assumption that ROR and Kane will play tonight, while Ennis and Fasching will not. Though we should get confirmation on that shortly with the skate wrapping up now.

 

[Sabre Dance]

Hopefully Kane can learn to play under control. It would really help protect his body.

 

[OkimLom]

Hopefully Kane can learn to play under control. It would really help protect his body.

The injury was unfortunate.

 

[AustonsNostrils]

O'Reilly is a game time decision.

 

[Woodhouse]

Bylsma confirms Kane's in tonight, with Ennis (mid-body) and Fasching both out, and ROR (undisclosed) questionable and a GTD.

 

[Revelate]

Paul Hamilton says ROR is legitimately questionable. if he can't go, i'm assuming:


9 Kane – 23 Reinhart – 21 Okposo
82 Foligno – 22 Larsson – 12 Gionta
26 Moulson – 28 Girgensons – ???
48 Carrier – 27 Grant – 73 Baptiste

what i'd like to see:

9 Kane – 23 Reinhart – 21 Okposo
82 Foligno – 22 Larsson – 12 Gionta
48 Carrier – 28 Girgensons – 73 Baptiste
26 Moulson – 27 Grant – who cares

 

[Aladyyn]

Torn on staying up to watch tonight. Will probably decide based on ROR playing or not

 

[jc17]

They've played well, minus last game, with an injured roster. I can't wait until everyone is 100%.

 

[EichHart]

What's wrong with ROR?

 

[OkimLom]

What's wrong with ROR?

UBI; carrytheteamonhisbackitis

 

[RobRayzor]

Switch Moulson and Kane.
Kane - Girgs - Sam could be a deadly line.

 

[Wisent42]

Switch Moulson and Kane.
Kane - Girgs - Sam could be a deadly line.

Agreed. While Moulson hasn't looked very good for a couple of games, I'd still rather keep him where he is and give Kane a shot with Zemgus and Sam. I think that would be a really hard line to play against. I could also see Kane with Larsson and Gionta and put Foligno on the top line.

Feels nice that we actually have some options these days.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Schneider coming up, i guess oreilly is out eh?

 

[26CornerBlitz]

schneider coming up, i guess oreilly is out eh?

 

[joshjull]

Schneider coming up, i guess oreilly is out eh?

Sure sounds like it

 

[dotcommunism]

Schneider coming up, i guess oreilly is out eh?

Not necessarily. He's a game time decision. Another forward has to come up in that case if Fasching isn't ready yet.

 

[1972]

Can Sam Reinhart please step up tonight?
