GDT: Montreal Canadiens vs Buffalo Sabres 10/5/17 7:00pm EST TSN2, RDS, TSN 690

[WeThreeKings]

Similar D? Ours is vastly superior

We have Weber and Petry.. They have Ristolainen and Scandella.

Both teams have two proven D men.. then some supporting casts. Obviously Weber is better than Ristolainen. But as a whole, neither D core is something to behold.

Similar D? Ours is vastly superior

We have a 19yr old rookie, Alzner and Mark Streit manning the left side... not sure we can claim to be vastly superior than anyone.

 

[peate]

We got this. Team will be pumped, Drouin will show us the trade was a good one for Bargain Bin. Nate the Great won't be so great. 4-1 for the good guys.

GO GO​

 

[PhysicX]

Price with a shutout.

Lose this one in penalties.

0 for 14 in powerplay opportunities.

Our d-core is bad but Buffalo's is pretty awful. Not similar whatsoever.

And they have Nathan Turnover Beaulieu and a bunch of players you and I have never heard of.
Weber>>Risto
Mete>Beaulieu, I think Mete is much better but Beaulieu has more experience
Petry>Scandella
Mccabe>Alzner, don't even think this is true but I really hate Alzner so whatever.
Benn>Antipin
Tennyson>Streit, no clue who Tennyson is, but Streit is awful

 

[David Suzuki]

Cap Space scores a hat trick, gets first star and as he skates off, grabs Marc Denis's microphone and says "Merçi" before dropping it. A new star is born.

wow some original humor on the boards this afternoon

and French baiting to boot!

I definitely don't disagree. They're bad. Just think its closer than people think.

If Plekanec scores, I'll change my avatar to whatever you'd like.

Glad you enjoyed it. Gotta find some form of entertainment out of this team some how!

 

[Runner77]

Here's the last time Weber and Nate The Ingrate were paired up ...

 

[Natey]

It is closer than people think. The scariest part is that when Buffalo is healthy, their defense is better than ours.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Buffalo has an awful team with some young talent, but they often do well against the Habs. First big test for the 'improved' D.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Buffalo's has better C and similar D/W
We have better G.

Can't really say we're a better team, Lehner being terrible really makes Buffalo look bad.

The Sabres have better center depth for sure. That's it. You are going on a massive stretch saying their D and wingers are better than ours.

 

[Deebs]

Can't wait to watch Gally get all up in Nate's grill and draw a penalty or two.

 

[ChikN]

Drouin and Chucky with a big game tonight I can feel it. We'll make them pay on the PP.

 

[buddahsmoka1]

For those comparing Buffalo's roster to ours, wake me up when Buffalo has one of the best goalies, defenseman, and goal scorer in the league. Also let me know when Buffalo wins the division for the first time since the mid 2000s.

 

[L4br3cqu3]

Buffalo always play well against us, and they're at home, for the opener.

Some here shouldn't underestimate them...

Do you ever contribute anything hockey related or do you just call people out about random things and complain about posters being negative?

Benn - Streit is a scary pairing

 

[The Great Weal]

Benn - Streit is a scary pairing

Bergevin got a million depth dmen, and they all suck. Honestly, I would have called up Jerabek and play him with Benn just so he can get a feel of the NHL.

So, because we won against them last year on their home opening game, we should underestimate them this year ?

of course, its hab fan logic,

just like beating the leafs every game this season is a given

No. I'm just showing that the Habs are capable of beating the Sabres in their home opener.
