GDT: Boston at Buffalo 10/4/18 7PM Game 1

[oldgoalie]

50 seasons eh.....? Yeah I remember going to Bison's games too. Before they prettied up the Aud. Even recall playing on that ice before all the improvements went in. Pretty much a dump at that point. Might have been '69 before the inaugural Sabres season. Pretty sure it was the Regals with the Metzgers that kicked our butts.....

Definitely remember seeing Blue Oyster Cult at the Aud the summer they were raising the roof........ '72? (Well, maybe remember isn't the best word to use... LoL!)

Oh ****...... there you go reminding me how old I am again!

actually, I forgot to carry the 1....
I guess it's my 49th season. I got interested in hockey the year before with the Bisons. I started playing the game in 1971.

 

[Buffaloed]

I miss Tim Conolly, when are we ever going to get a player like that again?

We have Bogosian. lol

[BeTheBallDanny]

I hope i end up eating my words but I dont feel great about this opening nights lineup....

Our 3rd line is gonna get worked.

 

[Sabre the Win]

What joy? Been a fan for 20 years of endless suffering and bad luck.

They've only not made the playoffs for the last 8. Sorry it's been so miserable for you even thru the Hasek, Drury, Briere days.

Sports must be hard.

We have Bogosian. lol

This is the only correct answer to that question

 

[Club]

Hope its a great game. I might miss the first period (as I'm driving to my parents in Calgary for thanksgiving)

 

[JRiz13]

1/82 so about 1.22%

I can confirm, this is correct.

Idk 05-06 and 06-07 were pretty great years for the team.

 

[JRiz13]

I'm so used to losing the openers that it's sort of taking away a little of the excitement.

Still pumped though, so... **** the Bruins

 

[1point21Gigawatts]

I don't recognize most of the Bruins roster, especially the blue line.

 

[1972]

How many games until Nathan Beaulieu gets waived?

I am saying he’s in Rochester as soon as Dahlin gets comfortable and they feel confident bring up either Guhle or Pilut.

 

[Healthy DiPietro]

Marchand likes to slew foot Swedish defensemen, Dahlin better watch out.

Risto will grab onto him until the refs show up.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

1/82 so about 1.22%

It's not linear.

32.6% is my last and final offer.

For reference: Last Year's Opening Night Lineup

Carter Hutton will start in net for Buffalo. Zach Bogosian (lower body), Remi Elie and Matt Tennyson are expected to be scratched.

Here's the projected lineup in its entirety:

53 Jeff Skinner - 9 Jack Eichel - 23 Sam Reinhart
43 Conor Sheary - 10 Patrik Berglund - 72 Tage Thompson
17 Vladimir Sobotka - 37 Casey Mittelstadt - 21 Kyle Okposo
28 Zemgus Girgensons - 71 Evan Rodrigues - 29 Jason Pominville

6 Marco Scandella - 55 Rasmus Ristolainen
19 Jake McCabe - 26 Rasmus Dahlin
82 Nathan Beaulieu - 8 Casey Nelson

40 Carter Hutton
35 Linus Ullmark

Dahlin to make NHL debut as Sabres open season vs. Boston

I don't think there is one single parallel universe where Pilut does not make this lineup, just this one.

 

[Abraham de Lacy]

I’ll be there tonight, in the 100s. Excited as hell.

I'll be staying up late and would love live comments or tweets.

Cheers

We have Bogosian. lol

You don't see moments of absolute brilliance with him though.

 

[SatanwasaSlovak]

They've only not made the playoffs for the last 8. Sorry it's been so miserable for you even thru the Hasek, Drury, Briere days.

Sports must be hard.

You should only accept being a winner, even coming in second place is being a loser. The misery comes from always having shit-luck when they are so close to winning it.

 

[oldgoalie]

Risto will grab onto him until the refs show up.

instead of the team p***ying out like they did with Lucic and Miller, someone better beat his f***ing ass.

 

[zuikan]

Ugh, 2 more hours. Think Housley slowed down my clocks. Fire that guy.

 

[OkimLom]

instead of the team p***ying out like they did with Lucic and Miller, someone better beat his ****ing ass.

Like who....

 

[SabresSharks]

instead of the team p***ying out like they did with Lucic and Miller, someone better beat his ****ing ass.

They didn't p***y out. They were just patient with their response. "Goose, go get Lucic, next time we play them."

 

[Tim14125]

Like who....

Jack. Gotta earn that C.

 

[Sabretooth]

Going to the game tonight. 1st one I've been to in a quite a while. Where's the best place to park? I'm thinking one of the parking garages on Washington street.

I like parking under the highway by the buffalo news whenever I make the trip to buffalo for a game. Easy getting out and not too much traffic to sit in to get back on to the highway usually.
