Pre-Game Talk: Game 2 - 10/5 7PM NJ Devils @ Buffalo Sabres Home Opener

[Weltschmerz]

Can't wait for this.

 

[Buffaloed]

I'm regretting not buying tickets for this. My instincts say it's gonna be nuts in there, especially after that performance in pgh

It's worth the price of admission to hear RJ say Stu Barnes when they intro the former captains.

It's a secret. "We have some nuances in there that we’ll keep secret, but the general concept has to do with pressure and taking away that space and that time they’d like to have," Krueger said of his team's defense at 5 on 5. "How we get there we’ll keep to ourselves, but more than anything it’s about that. They just couldn’t find a way to open our defensive structure, which is the core, really, of our game and our offense grows out of that."

Ralph is turning out to be the Marv Levy of hockey....

Ruff's busy coaching........
