GDT: #3 – Ducks at Sabres – Mon Oct 13, 3:00PM ET – MSG-B, Bell TV – WGR

[LaxSabre]

@BuffaloSabres Getting ready for Game Day vs. @AnaheimDucks. 3 pm start. (@HockeyEquipMgr) #BUFvsANA - They're back!

They were never gone so how can they be back?
Not a shock that they are wearing them today it being a Kids Day/Afternoon game.
I think we are stuck with them for this season and next. (Didn't we get these last season?)
(I think there is a jersey rule that you can't change your regular jersey/third jersey for three years.)

is there a requirement to the number of times you have to wear a 3rd jersey?
can they keep it as the official 3rd and unofficially retire it until they no longer are required to have it?

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

I think the 3rd jersey rule is 2 years, 10 games per year.

Back for the 1st time this season. You're not breaking news here.

@BuffNewsVogl

Sabres coach Ted Nolan will give struggling defensemen Andrej Meszaros and Andre Benoit one more chance but will break up the pairing.

@BuffaloSabres: Nolan says @mneuvirth30 gets the start in goal today for #Sabres. #BUFvsANA

@BuffaloSabres

Getting close to game time.... #OneBuffalo shirts on seats! 2:30pm pregame on MSG, 3pm game. #BUFvsANA

@BuffaloSabres - Nolan says @mneuvirth30 gets the start in goal today for #Sabres. #BUFvsANA

Not breaking news since we figured Enroth would get a rest after facing all those shots the last two games. Sabres play four games this week with two back to backs so Neuvirth had to get one of those games and its today. Expect Enroth to play on Tuesday vs Carolina.

Foligno out, Flynn in

@BillHoppeNHL

Michal Neurvirth starts, Brian Flynn in for injured Foligno. #Sabres

Hope it's not the shoulder injury again.

 

[Woodhouse]

There I was, making sure that work's getting done so I could watch the game live, then the first tweet I see when I casually load up TweetDeck was: Joe Yerdon @JoeYerdon - Nolan says while the defense stays the same, the pairings will be changed up.

@BuffaloSabres: Nolan says @mneuvirth30 gets the start in goal today for #Sabres. #BUFvsANA

Noovy + Ben + Mez = at least 5 Anaheim goals.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Oh no. Not Neuvirth....

@BillHoppeNHL

New #Sabres blog: Michal Neuvirth starts, Benoit/Meszaros get a reprieve ... for now, Foligno likely out, new lines http://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/sa...-start-this-season-marcus-foligno-likely-out/ …

@BuffaloSabres

.@Cstew_80 leads all #Sabres with 12 points (5G,7A) in 18 career games against the Ducks. #BUFvsANA

So, my boss just emailed saying he's leaving work for business travel, and 3:30-5:30 staff mtg. is canceled.

It's 80 degress outside here and sunny. I should go home early and work in the yard, but not before watching a period of the game and having a beer.

If only I hadn't car-pooled today !!!!!!!!

 

[joshjull]

@pham1717: Nolan said the lines are, 26 63 21, 17 23 12, 19 28 80, 44 8 65

I see we're looking for Neu ways to lose

Not sure why we aren't using him tomorrow....or does Enroth have some sort of insane record against the Hurricanes?

Finally. And give 'em a few games too.

The whole Hodgson/Gionta experiment has to be left in the drawer, cuz the only curious thing about it was how Hodgson got all the heat despite obviously being put a spot not to succeed, while it's been virtually hands-off any reproach of Captain Gionta despite showing squat. Just not seeing these two clicking.

And how's that newly minted 1st pp unit going without the guy who actually lead in ppp last time these guys were on the ice?

Sigh.

6 Mike Weber – 41 Andrej Meszaros


I thought it couldn't get worse.

 

[Sabretooth]

I hate this 3 in the afternoon game ********. DVRing the game and will watch after I get home from work then bowling. Will be avoiding the boards in the meantime.

P.S. weber hasn't totally sucked at all in the 2 games we've had so far, tho perhaps benoit/mes are so bad they even make weber stand out in a good way.
