Get back to the winning guys!

4-2 Sabres

Kane, Eichel, Or O'Reilly with a goal.

 

[LaxSabre]

Yeah Sabres win here - picking 4-2 too - Sabre Goals - Kane (2) - Eichel - Reinhart - Senators Goals - Hoffman - Karlsson.

 

[ek93]

Making my annual trip up to the 716 for this one. But I kinda wanna just sell my tickets. I really want the Sabres to win this one and the Sabres are 0-7 in the last 7 games I've been to.

Was thinking the same thing, except it's been a pattern so far of players coming back from injury too soon and playing like garbage for a few games. Considering Bogosian's injury, I assume this is yet another example so I won't be too confident in any set up.

 

[Aladyyn]

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

Yes!!! Falk over Fedun!

 

[Sabre Dance]

Our D will be pretty slow tonight.

 

[Aladyyn]

Yes!!! Falk over Fedun!

Gorges over Fedun

 

[Sabre Dance]

Why recall Bailey just to play him 6 minutes on the 4th line?

 

[26CornerBlitz]

 

[Vito_81]

This next stretch here can make or break our currently slim playoff hopes.

6 games in the next 9 days.

Needs to start with a win tonight.

That would be a very nice sight to see........

What I fear Dan will actually do:

Risto-Gorges
Kuli-McCabe
Franson-Falk

 

[BananaSquad]

I dont understand why Fedun is the scratch.

Anyways better see

Kuli - Risto
McCabe - Franson.

Why recall Bailey just to play him 6 minutes on the 4th line?

I said the same thing last time he was called up, and Bylsma did end up getting him shifts on higher lines, too. So hopefully that'll be a thing.

Which of Okposo or Reinhart are you demoting to the 4th line? Unless you're suggesting breaking up 9-28-12, which would be...interesting given how good they've been of late. Or moving Bailey or others out of their natural position to wedge him into a top-9 role.

Eichel/ROR will center Ennis-Bailey a fair bit. That's not the quintessential 4th line role.

Wouldn't mind trying Bailey on the left side with Eichel / Reinhart. Foligno just hasn't been doing it for me on that line. Or even putting Carrier there instead of stapled to the fourth line or pressbox.

Yes, i hope so too.

Well, you see ... Nothing is good enough.

Carrier is injured right now so unfortunately he's out of the equation for the time being.
