GDT: Buffalo Sabres at Boston Bruins. 7 PM. MSG/ESPN+ (MOD WARNING POST 1)

[Zman5778]

So as a pre-emptive deterrent - this is the GDT. There are places to discuss draft picks, a thread on the coach, the GM, the owner, discussing replacing the coach, goaltending, and even the roster in general. If y'all want to go off about something y'all have gone off about as a macro issue with the team (the ownership, the coach, the GM, or any of the oft-repeated commentary in GDT's of late), it WILL get pruned. Take the macro issues to their appropriate location. In the interim, this particular thread is about tonight's game. Got it?

What number is Robinson? See @Zman5778 I read your post.

I think he wore 50 in C-Bus? Sabres haven't said what number he'll wear here yet. Unless I missed it.

If he sticks with #50, he will only be the second player in Sabres history to wear the number. Nathan Lieuwen posted a 1-4 record as a 22 y/o goalie in the 2013-2014 season, all while wearing #50.

Not his fault for getting a 10M contract, nor being forced to play his off hand, but yikes.

 

[Ehran]

Weirdly, I'm kind of optimistic about this game.

This is the sort of situation where this schizophrenic team surprises the crap out of everyone and plays an awesome game.

Buffalo wins 5-2

 

[Chainshot]

I hope he channels his frustration constructively.

 

[Gras]

I hope he channels his frustration constructively.

By smashing Marchand?

 

[Tatanka]

Or destructively on the opposition.

Over/under on how long I give this game:
8 minutes into the 1st.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Meh. I might tune in to see Robinson but that’s about it for my caring

Does thread rules apply even if Boston has a three goal lead or more?

I'm down with the flu for the third time in three months so might watch if I can't sleep but might not be posting if I can't write nasty stuff about Adams in case of a loss.

Yeah, the thread rules are the thread rules. There are places to beef endlessly about things that aren't the GDT. The game day thread is specifically about the game.

What a coincidence Connor, we’re not happy with your performance either.

So do something about it.

 

[old kummelweck]

I'll be in attendance. Bought tickets when I was drinking the kool-aid.

 

[Chainshot]

In Clifton's defense, he's played the majority of the year on his off-hand side and we know that can be an issue for many. But he's got to simplify and get back to taking the body with authority instead of trying to be Jayson Woolley-lite.

Take the under.

So if we're down 3-0 10 minutes into the first and all of a sudden Adams Pegula and Granato start ice-dancing at center ice (terribly) we can talk about the coach GM and owner and how bad they are right?

If you don't want to lose your hair I suggest making a live thread with the title "Waiting for Godot" and let it be the gdt until we start winning games again.

Oh, I'm not worried about tonight. I've got some bullshit happening the next 24 hours or so.

Have a counseling appointment 7 PM - 8 PM tonight......then I gotta drive my niece 90 min to the Philly airport for a 5 AM flight. So leaving the house at 2 AM, to get back to the house roughly 6 AM.......all so I can sit at the courthouse tomorrow serving jury duty.

I'll be sleeping while the game is on. Maybe I'll watch some of it if I can't nap at 6 AM.
