Pre-Game Talk: Game 1- 10/3 7PM Sabres @ Pens 'Haleth son of Háma. There is always hope.' edition

[Reddawg]

LETS f***ING GO!!!

 

[OkimLom]

5-3 Pens.

Eichel 2 Assists, Skinner goal, Oloffson PP goal, Miller goal

 

[Reddawg]

We're winning this one in dominating fashion to the point that the entire league sits up and asks themselves who the f*** these guys are.

6-0 Sabres. Olofsson and Skinner get two each, Mitts and Miller. Four apples for Eichel. Dominant PP.

 

[gallagt01]

I'm just glad hockey season is back. The summer lull on HF is depressing. Wanting to talk about Sabres hockey, I'd visit...only to be reminded that there was nothing to talk about.

I'm expecting a long year. I don't care. I'm excited. Go Sabres.

4-3 OTL. Reinhart x2. Vesey.

 

[TehDoak]

You can't spell "This team is killing my soul slowly and brutally" without Sobotka!

 

[BuffaloGooner]

Hockey is back! Let’s gooooo. 5-3 good guys. I’m expecting the guys to come out buzzzzzzzing. Olofsson pots two.

 

[Snippit]

Buffalo always loses season openers in the most disappointing way imaginable

4-1 Pens

 

[Der Jaeger]

Tied 1-1 in the third. Ristolainen slashes Crosby. Sobotka collects Crosby’s tears in an empty water bottle. He drinks his tears.

Sobotka then scores the OT winner by batting the puck out of the air one handed. We rejoice.

 

[Snippit]

My only request for tonight is that Sheary/Mitts/Vesey is kept away from Malkin and Crosby lines.

 

[kirby11]

Hoping we at least keep it close and play an entertaining game (please score more than 1 ****ing goal this opener).

However, I'm expecting we fall behind 2-0 or 3-0 early and the final is 5-1 Pens

 

[OkimLom]

Well you do have a S, O, B, O, T, K, A in there...

 

[Zip15]

I'll guess a 4-3 SOL - an acronym befitting us Sabres fans.

Goalofsson
Skinner
Eichel

Guentzel (2)
Sid

 

[sufferer]

I'd like to see Ullmark get the start. Try to hold Crosby to only two points and hope for the best. The only team he torches at a higher rate than the Sabres (61 points in 39 games) would be the Islanders, 113 points in 66 games.

 

[TehDoak]

Well you do have a S, O, B, O, T, K, A in there...

For futher examination, you can't spell "Ok Slow Poke" without Okposo

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

First wish is that we win.Second is that Eichel and Dahlin rack up points. I want Jack to hit 100 and Dahlin to hit 50+.

Just get 2 points.

 

[TossinSauce]

Will be in attendance to watch Buffalo take it 3-2. Victor and Jack x 2.

[Paxon]

I thought he was worse, but did not want to say it then have someone call me out if I was wrong for being lazy and not checking myself. If we can hem that pair in their zone, we could have some success tonight

Put it this way: Risto has at least good trade value (a la Faulk) whereas Johnson has serious negative trade value (a la Okposo). The Pens probably have to at least drop a 1st to ditch Johnson unless they take bake a bad contract.

 

[missingmika]

Imagine if Sobotka gets a hatrick tonight.

 

[Paxon]

I won't be happy unless we break a foot off in their ass

 

[Gabrielor]

Imagine if Sobotka gets a hatrick tonight.

I’ll immediately start to believe in the Krueger magic that people have discussed.

 

[Reddawg]

Imagine if Sobotka gets a hatrick tonight.

Maybe we could get two bags of pucks out of him over the weekend.

 

[Chainshot]

Well here we go. Harkening back to almost 20 years of message board shenanigans: 4-2 loss.
