Is that really what Matt Moulson looks like nowadays? Wtf happened?

 

[66-30-33]

5-1 Sabres...Fleury is in net!

 

[Ugene Magic]

Great song pick, BHD!

Thanks for doing the GDT. Those take effort just the same.

That's just what you are, "A Working Man."




LGP!

 

[DegenX]

You are the man, BHD!

 

[BHD]

Thanks for the encouragement, folks.

I'll take that.

 

[Pharrell Williams]

oh ya let's go boys

 

[td_ice]

iirc, they said on root last night that Fleury is 10-1 vs Buffalo.

 

[Son Goku]

I love how I've seen people making comments like "if Fleury starts then I'm not even watching" it's hilarious.

On HF? On your facebook? Where?

And why do you care. I bet it's like a select few people.

 

[High Flying Birds]

Maybe its just a bad picture but guy looks full on vampire.

 

[Bart9349]

Kings beat Devils 4-2 without Kopitar and Quick.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Let's see if Fleury can keep his save% above .900 for the season.

 

[Shrimper]

Kessel's 100th Pens game.

 

[JimsDoors]

Nice GDT......

Look for Phil to light it up a few times tonight

 

[DegenX]

So, Buffalo has lost their last 8 games ... although one was an OT loss and another a shoot out loss. Not to bring bad ju-ju or anything, but ...

love your avy dude.....an off the wall classic!

Buffalo is a tricky team. Young and enthusiastic. They aren't getting blown out at all. Other than the last 2, they've been in some close games.

I'd feel more confident if Murray was in net.

 

[UnrealMachine]

Please, please turn things around this game, Fleury. For truly everyone's sake.

 

[ColePens]

I think tonight MAF gets a SO. He's focused and the team will be focused behind him. 3-0 Pens.

 

[BHD]

The Sabres crew just mentioned that Malkin leads the league in minor penalties with 14. I knew it was bad, but yikes...

 

[vodeni]

OK Boys, lets humiliate HCDB

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

why do they sing the canadian national anthem in buffalo?

 

[Shrimper]

Canadian anthem, why?
