Flames had a good game against the leafs last night. I hope the boys don’t go in expecting an easy game.

Who are the flames primary shut-down players? Do they have anyone that can keep up with Eichels line? I literally no nothing of their roster.

Backlund/Tkachuk

I'm guessing the Eichel line will be seeing a lot of Giordano/Brodie as well

 

[Dirty Dog]

I just want to see a well-played game, to show that last game is not the norm.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

Lindholm is on fire. Can't believe the Flames have both him and Monahan from the 2013 draft. Two players I coveted very much.

Calgary played last night, so that's a plus. But we always seemed to do poorly against Peters' Hurricanes. They better be ready for a team that's going to hound the puck.

 

[Dahlin 2 Eichel]

i think we take this game pretty easy if we start the game strong. Calgary’s goaltending is ~average. We put up 30+ shots again it will be a fun game. Go Sabres!!!!!

Huh? The last game was well-played, with the exception of a horrible second period.

Since they're both lefties, I wonder which side does Brodie play on that pairing? Because he's very exploitable. I hope the LW side since that seems to be the wing Jack prefers to attack the net from.

For people that don't like the lines by numbers approach

ERod goes home to see the birth of his first child. Promptly loses spot in the lineup.

Sobotka misses games 2 and 3, both Sabres wins. Promptly gets lineup spot back when ready to return.

In case you are wondering who Housley believes is more integral to the team's success.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Huh? The last game was well-played, with the exception of a horrible second period.

The second period, and parts of the first, were extremely bad. That’s not a red flag usually or for a decent team. But this Sabres team has shown that they are liable to play like that for the next 4-5 games.

I want to not see that happen.
