PREVIEW: Blackhawks vs Sabres 3/7

SEASON SERIES:
This is the second of two meetings this season between the clubs. Chicago cruised to a 7-3 victory in Buffalo back on Dec. 1. Drake Caggiula, Kane and Duncan Keith got the Blackhawks out to a 3-0 lead early in the second. Buffalo managed to make it a 4-3 game midway through the third but goals from Connor Murphy, Kane and Brandon Saad propelled the visitors to victory.

LINEUP NOTES:
It's possible that David Kampf could return to the lineup having missed time since early Feb. with a right foot injury. Cam Ward is out with a knee issue, while Drake Caggiula is also on the mend from a concussion. Stay tuned after the morning skate for more information.

I read that Housley's favourite might be back in.
Also Bogo could be back.

Can't hate this team since Toews singlehandedly took two points away in one minute in 2015.

Without Toews we might not have Eichel

 

[toomuchsauce]

Win or lose, if they don't pad the stats tonight, they really should just forfeit the rest of the season. Chicago has given up 250 GA on the season, second worst in the league. Only Ottawa (251) is worse.

 

[dortt]

Eichel to hurt his back tonight as his back cannot tolerate singlehandedly carrying this team any longer.

Need others to chip in. Cannot rely upon jack to score all goals. Need to convert the gifts he is giving others

 

[Royal Thunder]

As usual, watching for Jack, Dahlin, Reinhart, Skinner, Montour, and Casey. Ready to bitch and moan about everyone else

On the bright side, this list is two names longer than it was in July 2018.

 

[SundherDome]

Chicago dashed our playoff hopes earlier in the year and now the finalize it.

6-2 Chi

 

[Willgamesh]

Zzzz so many years of rooting for the tank and were still here. Please be the last time. Hopefully chi wins in reg gets within 1 pt of passing us and Housley gets fired.

P.S Dahlin as many points as possible

 

[Tatre]

Mmmm, yeah...
Looking for a fun one, though I doubt we can beat that 7-8 Sens/Hawks game from last month.

 

[Tatanka]

Going to this one. Will carry the banner proudly for no other reason than it's what I do. Go Sabres!

 

[Der Jaeger]

Bad Buffalo brings broken and biter boys to battle Blackhawks. Believe Buffalo is beaten.

[CrazyPsycho]

Well at least Nelson is in, curious who plays the left, guessing Montour

Tage over Larsson...LOL

Musical goalies continues

 

[Aladyyn]

Doesn't Bogo prefer playing on the left?

 

[Willgamesh]

Larry out sobo in lol. Let the suffering end.

 

[Gabrielor]

Doesn't Bogo prefer playing on the left?

He’s had multiple games playing left with Risto. Don’t know if he’s ever mentioned preference, but he’s been there, and been decent.

 

[GellMann]

Doesn't Bogo prefer playing on the left?

I think he's the one righty we've had that's looked decent over there.

 

[GellMann]

I'm glad Hunwick was the one to sit over Bogo. And hopefully Larry is just nursing an injury, because he hasn't been himself the last little while.

Yeah, it still sucks that we're in the process of murdering Tage's confidence playing him where he shouldn't be.

 

[sabremike]

TANK COMMANDER PHIL!!!!!!÷

 

[jBuds]

These lineup decisions are f***ing baffling.

You really have to go out of your way to be this “worst version of ourselves” that we’ve seen for so long now. Yet we do it with ease. And consistency.

"We'll be ready for the start of the game this time coach, really! We won't look like a bunch of zombies at all!"
