GDT: Game # 64 : Sabres host Stars - 7pm ET

[Ginger Papa]

**Language Warning**


Scheduling called when they got the word
They said, "I suppose you've heard...
about Dallas?"

Well I rushed to NHL‘s website and the link inside
And I could hardly believe my eyes
A Thursday game showed up,
Tonight Dallas will arrive.

For a Division lead they’re playing
But down is where they’re gonna go
It would just be so pleasing
To win tonight’s Game we hope

'Cause for 29 years
We’ve had to endure the Stars of Dallas

Dallas, who the f*** is Dallas?​

11 long years blowing every chance
Boys knock them on their asses
And reward the loyal fans

Now you‘ve got opportunity
To get a Wild Card spot beating Dallas

Dallas, who the f*** is Dallas?​

We grew up separate,
grew up apart
But they engraved their initials
in Lord Stanley’s Cup

Cheating Dallas

Our Sabres will walk through their door,
with head held high
gather momentum,
To carry them by.
I believe this year, finally,
The Playoff drought will die.

For a Division lead they’re playing
But down is where they’re gonna go
It would just be so pleasing
To win tonight’s Game we hope

'Cause for 29 years
We’ve had to endure the Stars of Dallas

Dallas, who the f*** is Dallas?​

11 long years blowing every chance
Boys knock them on their asses
And reward the loyal fans

Now you’ve got opportunity
To get a Wild Card spot beating Dallas

Dallas, who the f*** is Dallas?​

Gary Bettman emailed and asked how we felt
Our Fanbase said, OK, well here’s how to help
No Game Management

He said, "Now bias is gone, so listen here,
I just want Southern Teams to win each year.”

And then the little elf bitch disappeared

For a Division lead they’re playing
But down is where they’re gonna go
It would just be so pleasing
To win tonight’s Game we hope

'Cause for 29 years
We’ve had to endure the Stars of Dallas

Dallas, who the f*** is Dallas?​

Dallas, who the f*** is Dallas?​

11 long years blowing every chance
Let’s knock them on their asses
And reward our loyal fans

[BG82]

This is now a massive game where we cant afford to not get points

 

[Sabre the Win]

Unfortunately I feel like this is the game where our playoff hopes are brutally crushed with a good thrashing.

I hope I am terribly wrong and held accountable for my terrible prediction later on.

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

I feel we come out with a good response and have more energy. Hopefully Stillman and Sammy can play and Donny finally sits VO.

 

[Dubi Doo]

This one is probably going to be ugly...

 

[Gabrielor]

A win please, sir.

 

[Panthaz89]

This is now a massive game where we cant afford to not get points

I'm always in the mentality that every game is a must win until you have an x next you in the standings indicating that you have qualified for the playoffs.

 

[Ehran]

I'll have to track down a link to watch this game.

 

[LetsGoBuffalo1126]

I'm always in the mentality that every game is a must win until you have an x next you in the standings indicating that you have qualified for the playoffs.

Or, consequently, what we've been accustomed to, the "e" that denotes eliminated.

Charge your phone, man! Single digits unnerve me.

 

[kirby11]

Going to the game tonight. Feels like this is the last stand. Hope they can win and go on a tear to get in, but I don't see it happening.

 

[brian_griffin]

With inspiration from @Ginger Papa, a redux of Linda Ronstadt and Lowell George's "Willin" (which is a superb collaboration in its own right).

We've had no-playoff pain, dumped on by snow
We're drunk and dirty, don't you know
But they're still... winnin'

Out on the road late last night
I'd see a skate in the crease and a red goal light
Malice! Dallas malice!

They've played from Boston to old Saint Louie,
Colorado to Montreal
Seen every neutral zone trap that's ever been played
Dressed a waiter in goal instead of a trade

So if you give me blue, white, and gold
Until the days that I'm old
Then they'll be winnin'... to the playoffs

And they've seen legal goals robbed by the stripes
Uncalled hooks, hacks, trips; many shots off the pipes
And they're still winnin'

And they struggled some frames and games in Buffalo
Where is the sun every time I go to Buffalo?
Oh but they're still

They've played from Boston to old Saint Louie,
Colorado to Montreal
Seen every neutral zone trap that's ever been played
Dressed a waiter in goal instead of a trade

So if you give me blue, white, and gold
Until the days that I'm old
Then they'll be winnin'... to the playoffs

 

[Montag DP]

I'll be honest, it feels like the season ended on Tuesday. My self-preservation instinct kicked in and I'm not really thinking about making the playoffs any more. If they surprise me and string together a few wins, that's nice, but I'm not expecting it.

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

 

[Paxon]

Fingers crossed

Now we just need Tuch to...

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

Greenway on the top line



Playing VO over Hino makes zero sense to me

 

[WiHockeyGuy]

Comrie in goal and Sammy/Stillman back would be pretty nice.

 

[Ginger Papa]

I'll have to track down a link to watch this game.

Check your DM my friend.

Arrrhhh

 

[threeVo]

If they play VO over Hino its a fireable offense. This team is analytics driven. Why are we ignoring the eye test and the analytics here??

 

[Zman5778]

We're gonna get obliterated

I kinda get Donny's approach... They're still in the race (barely) and if VO can somehow catch fire, he can help give them a chance... But his inconsistency is so god damn frustrating

 

[EichHart]

4-3 good guys

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

We're gonna get obliterated

I maybe completely out to lunch but for some reason I feel really good about this game.

Olofsson is a huge negative against on the ice. He has to score every other game just to keep up with the goals he is letting in every other game. It insane.
