GDT: Sabres @ Avalanche | Wednesday January 20 2016 | 8PM MT | The Return of Jame Mcginn

[RockyMtnRedhawk]

How fun would a Greg-Wagner-Skille line be?

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Its already 2-0 Buffalo.

3 if McCormick sneaks his way into the lineup.

 

[The Kingslayer]

I'm not huge on Wagner. I'd welcome that.

Wagner does his job and has more goals than guys like Martinsen, Tanguay and even Grigs. Has two fewer goals than the great Blake, hes over 50% in the circle, he finishes check, blocks shots. I dont know what more you can ask from him. What more does he need to do to win your love.

Its already 2-0 Buffalo.

It's a tie game, 2-2.

2 goals ROR, McGinn, 2 goals Grigs and Zads.

I'm glad ROR and Dutchy are both playing great hockey right now; and that both Peacock & Greg will be in the lineup. Matt and Ryan will get to put on a show, while our casual fans will be reminded of the future talent we got out of the trade.

Miss having ROR, but Zads is a great get on a player we had to move; Yeti (who wouldn't have been signed if we still had ROR) has been one of our best forwards; and Greg has shown me more than I was expecting. The roster currently doesn't have too much room for Misha -- not with the retirement-home duo in the lineup -- but he's going to be a good guy for our top 9 moving forward, and I hope he gets a chance to show off his talent in this one.

Be a part of the ROR trade.

I don't believe O'Reilly had any serious consideration for staying in Colorado. I don't think he'd have signed a $7.5 million AAV contract extension here. Do I know that for certain? No... but every indication from reading the tea leaves indicates he wanted to go somewhere where he could be The Man. That's what he is in Buffalo. Good for him. I think the Avs did very well getting the pieces they did for a player I don't believe had any desire to play here long term.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

A lot of things would be different if ROR was still around, but maybe the biggest one...would MacKinnon ever had gotten a chance at playing center? I'm not so sure he would have, and I think that's the best spot for him moving forward.

Not to mention we'd still have depth issues and nowhere to move because we'd be right up against the cap.

ROR is a great player, but it obviously wasn't going to work, so glad we got a good package for him.

Hope Zadorov isn't too pumped up to play the Sabres and runs himself out of position.

I like Wagner, but his line has been getting pummeled in terms of possession. It also helps him that he's got a god like shooting percentage. He made some bad turnovers the last few games in the defensive zone, IMO.

I'd rather Martinsen come out, because he's having the same issues, but Roy doesn't agree.

 

[Nzap]

Remember making this
Had quite a blast.

Realistically we should beat these guys.
Unfortunately our record against teams lower than us in the standings doesn't instill me with confidence.

Historically we've been good against Buffalo. We've always struggled with Columbus. I'd like to see a damn win tonight though, it's about time. Too bad we don't have Cliche for his annual goal tonight.

 

[Iceberg]

I hate those late starts, the game will start at midnight here!

My worst nightmare is the Avs moving to the Pacific Division one day.

We need to come out tonight the same way we came out against the Devils. I wish we had EJ for this game. Remember when...

Life cant be that hard bro. You are in Brazil. Come to Edmonton.

 

[Nzap]

Today I really like this late start.

Been waking up at 7am lately, so only have to wake up 2 hours earlier than normal as it's a 5am start here.

What a smart OP

 

[tigervixxxen]

Would be nice to have EJ but I'm going to cherish watching Zadorov and Bigras while it lasts.

 

[Freudian]

Check standings.
See that opponent are below Avs.

Yep, they're screwed.

One day i'll go, hopefully. I want to visit Canada.

But i'll rather live here, for now.

I do miss Ginner. I still have his jersey, and he was always a favorite of mine. Always thought he was really popular in the room. Interested in how Buffalo handles his contract situation.

 

[ArWKo]

iceberg - where in Brazil do you live? And are you a native or moved there for one reason or another?

I ask because my family on my mom's side is all from Brazil - they mostly all live in Aracaju.

EDIT: Ah now I see the Regher was born here - I had no idea he was born in Recife!

I think they're probably all legitimately happy for him for the year he's having. His career looked seriously in doubt after what appeared to be the worst of many back injury riddled seasons.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Man, I just hope we bury these guys. Obliterate them.

That would be nice, I quite enjoy being at the games where we just kill the other team.

I'm Brazilian born in Rio de Janeiro and currently living in Recife. Aracaju is relatively close to Recife, as both cities are located in the Northeast region.

Have you ever been to Brazil?
