This is a game we 100% need to and should win

 

[sabresfan129103]

Red Wings are pretty bad this year. This should be a winnable game, but who knows. Is ROR still out?

 

[Fly Boy]

Oh god, please win. Please, please, please, please, please, please, please win. I don't want to hear about it from all my insufferable Wings fans.

 

[Dreakon13]

Well with that attitude, this team will never win anything.

Night before Thanksgiving usually has a pretty good buzz in the arena. Wings are 2-9-1 in their last 12 games. A win gets us to .500. Get it done.

Wings fan coming in peace,

liking that "we gotta win this one"- attitude. Please don't cross our path tonight, of our mission to become dead last in the conference this week.
We really need to extend this losing streak.

We'll do our best. If Lehner is in though, don't shoot low left pad, it's a guaranteed rebound goal.

I kind of like being on the other side of this for a change. Not that the Sabres are doing much better in the standings, but hopefully we both get what we want tonight.

Is that Eichel on his skates at practice in the background there? Gotta think that's a good sign.

Like my girlfriend.

 

[joshjull]

Are they going to broadcast the bubble race? I'm cracking up listening to May, Peters and Rivet talking crap at each other just now.

It's Thurman Thomas, Ray, May, Rivet and Peters. Not sure if anyone else is in it.


EDIT: it will be broadcast.

 

[LaxSabre]

@BNHarrington - Lehner in net for #Sabres tonight.

ROR has confirmed he's in tonight. Bylsma said ROR is a gametime decision.
Harrington - but he's on the first line and did PP work. He's in.

Bylsma on Eichel - "We're starting to see the end is getting near."
Harrington - No timetable. My guess is 3-5 games away.

Eichel - He circled a return date last week. Won't give it up of course. Says he has "a few things up my sleeve" for his return.
Eichel - "We've got a lot of season left in us and we just want to put our best foot forward. "

[Sansbacon]

A win tonight would feel really, really nice. Then we're likely to see Eichel back in a week or two, and that's when things hopefully heat up for this team. So far they've been able to stay afloat during this onslaught of injuries, and that's all they've needed to do to keep their playoff chances alive.

Of course a loss tonight means we're a sinking ship, but let's not go there just yet

 

[Sabreality]

Howards had a really nice bounce back year so far numbers wise, gotta get to him early

 

[Mount Suribachi]

Oh god, please win. Please, please, please, please, please, please, please win. I don't want to hear about it from all my insufferable Wings fans.

lol, most Wings fans see this as a must-lose game.

 

[couture23]

Is this a "must win" or a "can't lose"?

 

[Weltschmerz]

Is this a "must win" or a "can't lose"?

I hope this won't be some kind of jinx thread

Wings fans want to lose, our hope is up again, won't be surprised if the wings show up tonight.
Howard has played well and Vanek is back and probably motivated.

 

[jBuds]

Why do Wings fans want to lose so badly already? Do they want a good pick or do they want a new coach? Or both?

 

[Slangston]

Why do Wings fans want to lose so badly already? Do they want a good pick or do they want a new coach? Or both?

I'm thinking they want the pick. Could you imagine a division with Eichel, Matthews, Barkov, Stamkos, and Nolan Patrick?
