Apparently Middlestadt will be playing wing today, which is interesting. Unfortunately its with Pomminville and Larrson.

I used to love reading the game day thread.....now it's like meh. I guess the next exciting thing on the Sabre agenda for me will be the lottery and where we pick in the draft. Fun Wow

Observations from Pepsi Center warm up

Lots of Sabre fans in attendance

Looks like Hutton is in net

Skinner doesn’t look right to me - skating wise. Also he’s no great stick handler

Eichel is a magician with the puck! Effortless.

Bogo is one scary dude. Just skated around by himself like he’s Predator from the movie.

Jack, Poms, Hutton, Linus all making sure the Sabre kids get a puck from warmups. Very cool!

These guys are Soooooo big. And the rink is soooo small. It’s past time to move to an international ice surface and increase the size of the nets. I know, there are pros and cons for each....

I’m about as excited for the lottery as a pre-season game... So depressing.

Grubauer is starting for the Avs

Frankly, he’s sucked most the season.

It also shows how little respect the Sabres are given. This is a must win game for the Avs and they start their back up goaltender.

Playing against one of the best lines in hockey?

Let’s break up our match up line! Spread the incompetence around!

Well, maybe it'll be more interesting than last time with Landeskog out
