“I believe [Linus Omark, acquired yesterday will] be waiting in Boston for us,
either waiting or getting there soon after we arrive. We’ll see him today,”
Sabres interim coach Ted Nolan said. “He’ll take a spot in the lineup.
I’m not 100 percent sure exactly where we’ll put him yet, but he’ll play tomorrow night.”

St. Patrice

The holidays are upon us. We usually do a Secret Santa on the team. We haven't talked about it yet for this year. I don't know if we will or not because Andrew Ference was our organizer for that. We'll have to talk about that now that Ference isn't on the team anymore. Each year always seemed to have a little different spin on it. Sometimes it would be a gag gift, other times nice gifts. It was never really the same. One year we did bad sweaters.

I think guys liked pulling Marchy's name to be his Secret Santa because he's pretty funny and a few guys would like to get him back. I would like to say, though, that I would not like to get Marchy because I like him. You know who I would like to have as my Secret Santa is Loui. He seems like a pretty generous guy.

What do I want for Christmas is a good question. I don't want anything, to be honest with you. My family is coming down. So I'm just happy about that. What do I want for the team for Christmas? That is easier to answer as I want us to keep improving. Hopefully by the end of the month we stay up in the standings, around that first spot. We'd like to stay there and that's our goal. We want to be at our best consistently.

Back to back trap games

 

[Bocephus86]

God I hope we pull two points out of this game tonight... thats what I want for Christmas. And a custom "Yeti" jersey. But two points tonight too.

Good luck with those 'wants'.

The game is tomorrow night.

I think this game is actually at 8 no?

Bs site & app says 7. I know there's a lot going on at the Garden - beyonce tonight, celtics tomorrow.

So that means the ice will be the consistency of a slurpee?

pretty much, yeah. No morning skate & Buff's going to throw Omark in.

 

[Furry89]

pretty much, yeah. No morning skate & Buff's going to throw Omark in.

The Bruins might as well not show up tomorrow night after that acquisition

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Getting McQuaid back would be nice.

Just too much inexperience in the lineup right now.

I feel like when i went to dvr it this morning it said 8, dunno!

Yep.

I think it's nice to have youth but not this much.

I think the team is missing Dougie on D more than McQuaid, but I will take McQuaid.

The mess at forward has essentially killed the 3rd and 4th lines.

If they fall into another trap-Julien should shorten the bench and flip Campbell to the third with Yeti and Spooner and let the other kids mostly watch.

I am not super impressed with Fraser.
Johnson is okay.
Caron-stick a fork in him-either move him or send him down and waivers be damned.

Team needs the Krejci line to actually score in its domination.

Please let Tuukka have a good night.

 

[Alicat]

Go Bruins!

I'd like to see him get back his "goalie-running" touch this game...

 

[Dellstrom]

I'd like to see him get back his "goalie-running" touch this game...

I wouldn't mind seeing both.

 

[ODAAT]

Going to miss this one, last shift at the restaurant before heading home for XMAS, go B`s, I said 4-2 for Thursday`s game and I was right, unfortunately, it was the team wearing the incorrect jersey who won....different story tonight.

5-2 B`s as our boys give the fans a nice little pre Christmas gift before heading to Nashville

It'll be on a 8..you must may miss some fireworks

 

[Hali33]

Let's try this again, should have a better night tonight.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Marchand keeps it going!

 

[Minny Shinny]

This one will be on in the background of a dinner party with copious amounts of wine. Hopefully a better effort is brought by the home team, otherwise I'm pretty certain it'll turn ugly fast, and I'm not even talking about what plays out on the damn ice.

I'm calling Soderberg for a goal, finally able to break free of his new anchor.

Oh, joyous holidays. *THUMBSUP*
