Anyone know what time the morning skate is?

 

[tsujimoto74]

Since we scored 2 goals last game, I can only assume we're due to be shutout here. 3-0 Habs.

#Sabres notes on Brian Flynn's patience being rewarded, tonight's lineup + Zemgus' penchant for deking http://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/sa...lly-playing-again-i-had-to-try-to-be-patient/

I really hope the third pairing is kept together this game. Zadorov's hits are very entertaining, though sometimes he skates around the ice like a chicken with its head chopped off.

 

[SabresFan26]

Same lineup as Detroit.

Moulson with Girgensons will be interesting as if Moulson goes to the net and Girgensons gets the puck there, perhaps he finally breaks his goose egg in the goal column.

@BuffaloSabres

Nolan says Foligno is out for tonight, same lineup as the other night vs. Detroit. #MONvsBUF

Nolan continues to be impressed by Zadorov: His enthusiasm for the game is contagious. #MONvsBUF

 

[Moskau]

Zadorov is the anti tank commander. Rallying troops with his bards tales.

@BuffNewsVogl: Sabres' Ted Nolan on Canadiens "being susceptible" to giving up first goal: "We’re susceptible to not getting the first goal."

 

[mikemcburn]

Same lineup as Detroit.

Moulson with Girgensons will be interesting as if Moulson goes to the net and Girgensons gets the puck there, perhaps he finally breaks his goose egg in the goal column.

For the trivia bit - the only two goals Moulson has scored in his last 24 games as a Sabre where when playing with Girgensons (Feb 26 & Feb 28).

@BuffNewsVogl

Sabres' Zadorov earns another game tonight against Habs: "I love this game and I want to play every day." http://sabres.buffalonews.com/2014/...playing-second-straight-weber-benoit-foligno/ …

 

[I Like Eich]

Montreal is DESPERATE for this game tonight (or at least they should be) Can't see them not taking this. Montreal is going for +160 with a -1.5 spread right now, just sayin $$$

I like to think that Nikita goes home, drops to his knees, and pretends to play mini hockey with a rambunctious flock of kittens until he falls asleep on the floor.
