Nice GDT..

That said, I'm not feeling good about this game. Sabres are hungry. Sabres have lost 3 in a row, are back at home after road trip and want revenge.

 

[PricerStopDaPuck]

Take advantage of there god awful D with speed and we should be fine

 

[Talks to Goalposts]

Nice GDT..

That said, I'm not feeling good about this game. Sabres are hungry. Sabres have lost 3 in a row, are back at home after road trip and want revenge.

They also have a terrible center line and lack a particularly good defensive pair.

Pretty winnable game, they aren`t a good team like Ottawa or Boston.

 

[Habs Junkie]

Won't happen but I'd like to see:

Pacioretty-Plekanec-Gionta
Cole-Galchenyuk-Gallager
Bourque-Desharnais-Eller
Moen-White-Prust

Markov-Emelin
Subban-Gorges
Bouillon-Diaz

Price

 

[coolasprICE]

They also have a god terrible center line and lack a particularly good defensive pair.

Pretty winnable game, they aren`t a good team like Ottawa or Boston.

But you would have to think that they will be firing on all cylinders while we're coming to their building after losing to the Bruins without rest. If none of this plays into consideration, than yes, we should win since we're better.

 

[Habskrieg]

Hope the boys are in seek and destroy mode after tonight's loss. Would be good to fetch a convincing win after such a lame turn of events.

5-2 Habs.

 

[Talks to Goalposts]

But you would have to think that they will be firing on all cylinders while we're coming to their building after losing to the Bruins without rest. If none of this plays into consideration, than yes, we should win since we're better.

Or they are completely demoralized and vulnerable.

I think predicting team emotion is a bit of a fools game. Its unknowable ahead of time.

 

[void]

Damn... Didn't realize the Sabres had that many injuries. Hope we beat them again.

Eller needs to be promoted somehow. Playing him on the fourth line is a waste.

 

[Nicko999]

If we play like we did vs the Bruins, we'll win.

 

[x15Kotkaniemi15x]

Big 2 points on the line boys. Seems we respond well after losses, hopefully that trend continues.

 

[DumFries]

I except the Sabres to come out strong after that 6-1 loss.

 

[PricePkPatch*]

I say the boys rebound after yesterday. They were hungry and they still lost it. Therrien will make them work their ass for this win.

 

[overlords]

White in for armstrong, hopefully.

 

[Face81]

I want to see Cole gtfo the lineup, bring in white and play Moen with Pacio and DD...

Fine i'll go back to bed..

 

[Lshap]

Our real test wasn't Boston, it's overcoming the inevitable slump. I mention this because we WILL lose two straight at some point and tonight's game has all the earmarks -- Budaj probably in nets, Buffalo desperate. If we do lose tonight I want to see how quickly the team rebounds.

 

[Analyzer*]

I won't be able to watch this game. Going to Ottawa for winterlude or whatever. Hopefully they win
You can do it, boys.

Armstrong finally had a good hit last game but was still useless overall. Hopefully Miller doesnt do what Rask did, though Miller is more than capable of doing that.

4-2 win. Empty netter.

Go Habs go

 

[PhysicX]

White in for armstrong, hopefully.

Please oh please, this!

 

[Tuggy]

Time to get back on the winning track tonight!

Nice GDT..

That said, I'm not feeling good about this game. Sabres are hungry. Sabres have lost 3 in a row, are back at home after road trip and want revenge.

They are 3-6-1 for a reason this season, they aren't very good.

 

[enthusiast]

If you've ever played Pokemon, think of the Sabres as Marowak. They're going to miss with Bonemerang nine times out of ten, but when it hits you don't have a chance.

4-2 Habs

 

[roy munson]

White in for armstrong, hopefully.

I would even go with White over Cole

 

[sharks9]

Thankfully we're facing someone easy tonight! Yesterday was a lot of bad luck and good goaltending by Tuukka Rask.

If we can beat the Sabres tonight and the Leafs on Saturday that'll be huge for us!

 

[disturbedraven]

Hoping we play a full 60 min game today, and not lose one with hiccups like last night. Buffalo is gonna come out guns blazing tonight, they have a lot to prove. 3-2 Shootout win for Habs

 

[PricePkPatch*]

Thankfully we're facing someone easy tonight! Yesterday was a lot of bad luck and good goaltending by Tuukka Rask.

If we can beat the Sabres tonight and the Leafs on Saturday that'll be huge for us!

EASY?!

I expect a very, very hard match tonight. I still expect us to come out of there with 2 points.

 

[ClasslessGuy]

White in for armstrong, hopefully.

Strong this.
