Loss. L15

 

[Mit Yarrum]

Easy loss.

 

[Bps21*]

Is montreal going to bother to show up this time? They are ennis scoring on a shootout attempt away from being 0-3 against us this season.

I think we need to return to minimalist GDTs to exit this funk.

I think we need to return to minimalist GDTs to exit this funk.

To the contrary.

Prediction: 4-1 Montreal

Fif-teen! *clap clap clap* Fif-teen! *clap clap clap*

Fif-teen! *clap clap clap* Fif-teen! *clap clap clap*

I don't know what's more impressive... Us losing 15 in a row or the Atlanta Hawks winning 19 in a row.

 

[Wisent42]

Nope, it's win night tonight. 4-2 Sabres. Goals by Stewart, Girgensons, Ristolainen and Flynn.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

I'm leaning for the win tonight for Gorges. Seasons gotta be especially tough on him, would be nice for him to have this one.

 

[Chainshot]

Is montreal going to bother to show up this time? They are ennis scoring on a shootout attempt away from being 0-3 against us this season.

Yeah, I had the same thought. Granted, that was during the mini-streak... not sure if the Sabres show up for this one.

 

[Side Stache]

Keep the streak alive. Win tonight.

 

[kenfury]

Any other team and it's a loss but we have been Hab killers. Buffalo grinds it out 2-1 with Enroth standing on his head.

 

[EichHart]

No clue why you guys are worried about this one. Price has been dominating, it's in the bell centre, and they just lost to the coyotes. This is a stomp game.

@RSandersonWHTK - Jacob de la Rose - Sweden's captain at the recent World Junior Championships - was recalled from Hamilton Bulldogs today.
He is scheduled to make his NHL debut tonight for the Montreal Canadiens against the Buffalo Sabres.

 

[Savitar]

We need to lose so Edmonton can stay 6 points up

Definitely being rushed unless it's only for a few games, kids only 19

 

[radicalcenter]

Definitely being rushed unless it's only for a few games, kids only 19

Unless he plays like Crosby, he will be up only for a few games. So far the Habs have recalled Dumont, Thomas, Andrighetto, Tangradi, Bowman and now DLR.

Andrighetto is the one who played the most games with 12

I don't know what's worse our hockey team or our GDTs.

@globehockey - Swedish prospect de la Rose ready for first NHL game with Canadiens - http://www.theglobeandmail.com/spor...ens/article22761195/?cmpid=rss1&click=dlvr.it

There was initial speculation that de la Rose was called up as a replacement for centre Lars Eller, who injured his left leg during a 3-2 loss to Arizona on Sunday.
But Eller was on the ice for a game-day skate Tuesday morning looking no worse for wear. Therrien said de la Rose would play whether Eller was in or not.

de la Rose - “It’s everyone’s dream to play here one day,” “I just tried to work hard and take it from there.
Now I’ve been called up and if I get a chance, I’ll take it.”

Other Game Day Notes - It appeared that centre Manny Malhotra would sit out against Buffalo. Sergei Gonchar will return on defence replacing Mike Weaver.


@BuffaloSabres - Jhonas Enroth plans to debut this new mask tonight - https://twitter.com/BuffaloSabres/status/562653556772450304

Yay.. team?!

On Stewart ...

Nolan: "He’s one of the more premier power forwards in the League."

Oh Theodore...

 

[Namejs]

On Stewart ...





Oh Theodore...

If you ever needed any evidence of him being shopped right now, well, there it is.
