[Woodhouse]

Home-and-home, back-to-back set here with the NJD. Kinkaid will start tonight in Buffalo and Schneider tomorrow in Newark. ROR (mid-body) and Kulikov (blocked shot?) missed practice yesterday, and per Bylsma, are day-to-day but may play tonight.

 

[stokes84]

Should be a solid 1-0 shootout loss. 18 SOG for each team. Looking forward to my Friday night watching these two offensive juggernauts go at it.

 

[Heraldic]

Two weekend games against Devils... Prime time to air presumably dullest and most boring hockey the league can offer.

 

[sabresfan129103]

Can they score more than 1 goal? Maybe. More than 2? Only if it goes to OT. No way they score 3 in regulation.

And that's not a statement about the Devils that's a statement on our anemic offense.

 

[Der Jaeger]

Watching a NJ game is possibly the worst aesthetic hockey in the league.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Oh no they called Falk up

HELP

 

[26CornerBlitz]

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Kulikov and Gorges the 2 not skating

 

[Zip15]

Watching a NJ game is possibly the worst aesthetic hockey in the league.

We aren't much more exciting, frankly. For what that's worth.

 

[Zip15]

Assuming Kulikov is out and Gorges is just maintenance, this defense corps is going to be...interesting.

I feel like we usually lose at home to the Devils, and win at their place. 3-1 Devils in a snoozer.

Palmieri
Parenteau
Zajac (EN)

Okposo

 

[LaxSabre]

Won't be watching or listening - will be watching much more important "game" thats happening in Columbus this evening.
Okposo and Baptiste goals leads the Sabres to a 2-1 win regulation win.

 

[26CornerBlitz]

 

[Woodhouse]

ROR's taking part in all drills per Hamilton, so maybe he's back tonight.

 

[Woodhouse]

Nilsson's start tonight it looks like, first off, so backup goalie battle.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Nilsson's start tonight it looks like, first off, so backup goalie battle.

Makes sense. Lehner's had what, 6 in a row, plus the back-to-back this weekend. Expected to see Nilsson get the call tonight.

 

[JackTheRipper]

Dress Eichel and have Moulson push him around the ice so he doesn't have to skate.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Kulikov out.. McCabe has a nice chance here, Risto gonna get about 30 mins

 

[Aladyyn]

Kulikov out.. McCabe has a nice chance here, Risto gonna get about 30 mins

Yea no, it's going to be Gorges-Risto all game

 

[Myllz]

0-0 tie. After 30 shootout attempts for each team, they just decide to end it.

 

[Heraldic]

Yea no, it's going to be Gorges-Risto all game

To be honest, there really isn't any other way than to separate McCabe and Risto. Or you have to count on them playing around 50 minutes.

Gorges - Risto
McCabe - Franson/Nelson
Falk/Fedun - Franson/Nelson

It's not pretty, but if you get lucky, you might keep your feet dry (monster games from McCabe and Risto required).

 

[Der Jaeger]

We aren't much more exciting, frankly. For what that's worth.

Aware. But Buffalo can Beverly more exciting.

Aside from the Parise - Kovalchuk teams, Jersey's been grinding and boring since Stevens signed.

 

[Oakstream]

I will watch this one so 3-0 Devils

 

[Aladyyn]

To be honest, there really isn't any other way than to separate McCabe and Risto. Or you have to count on them playing around 50 minutes.

Gorges - Risto
McCabe - Franson/Nelson
Falk/Fedun - Franson/Nelson

It's not pretty, but if you get lucky, you might keep your feet dry (monster games from McCabe and Risto required).

Yea I'm fine with it in this situation (as much as that's possible )

 

[sabrebuild]

And people thought this team was ok at defense. ..
