Pro-tank or anti-tank, there is only one proper result for this game. Nothing is ever bad about beating the Leafs.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

7-2 Sabres. Kaleta gets 8 goals.

 

[Cirris]

Now that Columbus and Arizona won tonight. I can go all in on rooting for the Sabres to win and still have room to give on draft position.

So Yeah GO SABRES! RAKE THEM LEAFS!

And if we do lose and the Leaf fans razz us we can go "I'd like to thank your Leafs for winning, now we're one step closer to Mcdavid or Eichel"

 

[Wisent42]

Leafs? Let's put them in Rob Ford's pipe and smoke 'em!

 

[Fearnot]

Leafs? Let's put them in Rob Ford's pipe and smoke 'em!

I don't think Ford's pipe would handle leaves all that well.

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

7-2 Sabres. Kaleta gets 8 goals.

I see what u did there

 

[cardiffgiant]

Oh cool, Girgensons, Ristolainen, and Zadorov are playing the Leafs tonight.

 

[Clock]

Win it for Rick.

 

[SundherDome]

Leafs board doesn't even have a gdt...

 

[Bones Malone]

G: RJ back in the booth
B: Main board threads
U: Kaleta's hit

Oh wait...

 

[sba]

Kaleta's a scratch so is Benoit

 

[gallagt01]

I'd like to think every player on this team shows up ready to compete after the shellacking Toronto gave Buffalo last time around.

Sabres scored three goals last game. They won't score more than one tonight.

 

[Chad Thundercock]

Win this one to beat the stupid Leafs and for Rick and to give this sports town something to be happy about. Bills suck, garbage weather period.

Then lose every game.

 

[IME]

Going to the game tonight. Parking/beer recommendations?

 

[Beerz]

Going to the game tonight. Parking/beer recommendations?

HarborCenter ..for both?

 

[sjci]

Going to the game tonight. Parking/beer recommendations?

I don't know if they'll have Event parking for the game. There's tournaments on the weekends, but maybe. If not, there's plenty of lots around. If you can find a spot at (716), definitely go, there's always Pearl Street as a fall back.

 

[HogtownSabresfan]

Sabres win this one. Leafs played last night and bused in today. Hard to play hockey after two hours on a bus. You'll see. When these teams play, and one team buses in same day, they always lose.

it's easier on the team playing in the second game of back to backs tho, says Rob Ray

 

[Savitar]

A Buffalo lose and a Columbus win will go along way tonight to take some pressure off if we win a game or two in the next few games

 

[Revelate]

anyone have a Buffalo feed?

 

[Dahlin 2 Eichel]

I just hope there isnt 6 goals in the first period again

 

[ZZamboni]

I just hope there isnt 6 goals in the first period again

3-3 after a period would at least be semi entertaining

 

[Beerz]

lol... this might be 75-25 Leaf fans in attendance

 

[David Byrne]

A Buffalo lose and a Columbus win will go along way tonight to take some pressure off if we win a game or two in the next few games

The pressure is only in some fans' minds. This team will be 10-plus points worse than the 29th-place finisher when it's all said and done. Same story as last season.
