This, or, bluster a little in the media and then preach all out discipline and let the Sabres run around a bit.
It could be 3-0 in a hurry.

As a Buffalo fan, I don't see why the pent up aggression about what transpired on Monday is causing such an uproar with the players/fans. Can someone explain it to me?
My Point of view:
Usually the "code" goes, you do something to someone a team doesn't like (Deslauriers' hit and accidental "low-stick" to make him bleed) the other team sends someone to answer the bell(Latta vs Deslauriers' fight).
Fight ends and Deslauriers celebrates a well fought fight after their guy challenged him.
Deslauiers wasn't celebrating because of the result, he was getting the fans pumped up due to them being quiet(something Buffalo fans are known for; being quiet until something exciting happens). Something that has been done in the past constantly by guys especially at home. If Deslauriers knew the guy was injured the fight ends and they go on their way.
Can Washington fans explain the outcry we're seeing? From watching you guys you don't need to really do anything. You guys outclassed us in every way Monday. If you're players are renting space in their heads for Deslauriers, then Buffalo has an edge.
Just play your game and you will win easily like 5-1 or 6-0. There's no need for this type of stuff. It's unnecessary.

Thanks, but this is our GDT and we don't need Sabres fans coming here to manage us. If you or any other Sabre fans can't figure it out, and don't understand either the first injury or what showing up your opponent means, you can discuss it on your own boards.
This is also a reminder to all visiting fans to read our local rules pinned at the top of the forum. This is NOT a neutral board and you don't have the right to come around "just asking questions". Our fans do not have to explain how they feel about the game or anything else. If you derail our GDT you will be shown the door.

Don't like the situation with #74
Orpik was also listed as "day-to-day" and now he will miss his 22nd? consecutive game.

That celly was straight out of an EA sports hockey game lol. They should be upset but not in a needing revenge way. My first thought was that was quite a celly for a fight that had no clear winner just one guy got wrestled down first. Then the Caps scored again moments later anyways so they prob enjoyed silencing the building.

I think it's good that there's something for the team to get excited about at this point in the regular season.
But more important to keep on truckin'. So, drop the gloves with the offender, throw a couple of big hits to keep morale high, and then focus on hockey.

Matt Irwin is a legit talent
Ennis is like 5'9" who's going to fight him Carrick? LOL
Carrick does have 6 fights in Hershey this year
EDIT: That's not this year, that's AHL totals I think lol

Couldn't care less about Deslauriers myself. More interested in us playing aggressive, hard game against O'Reilly, Ennis and Ristolainen. Those three seem like consistent producers for Sabres. Also would like to see us earn a few power plays with good long O-zone possession. I liked the way our 3rd line played last game. More of that please.
Let's get this game over with so I can go back to not rooting against the Sabres. I think they're an up-and-coming team with some young talent that's going to be fun to watch grow over the next few years.
No Carlson in warm-ups. Hope the MRI wasn't bad.

I kind of want to see him catch a beating myself. I hope Trotz didn't call Sill up because Willy isn't allowed to fight since he's 3RW now lol... I'd rather see Willy take him on. He's going to be pumped for it cause of the Latta Willy lovefest.

Got to agree here, I don't want to see ANYBODY get hurt in any capacity on any team. That's bad news. These guys have families too even though we might not like them.
A beating though... yeah, let's do that

The beating I am most interested in is on the scoreboard, but yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing Willy or Sill go a few rounds with Deslaurier and Ovie put a good hard check or 2 on Ennis.

No offense but Sill is more than just a "face puncher" from the AHL. He made is mark with the Pens as being a guy who will fight but he has only fought 2 or so times this season and they weren't staged fights from my recollection. He has been great for the Bears against opponents top lines. He forechecks well, hits hard for a little guy, good PKer, and is good in the faceoff circle. He essentially has been a more physical Beagle for Hershey this season.

Physical game I would like to see. I don't want to get in a chippy game where people are trying to "get revenge." That only hurts the team with more to lose. Buffalo isn't going anywhere, we have a cup to win. Last thing I want to see is ovie/kuzy or anyone getting a cheap knee, stick, hit from behind, and it taking them out of the lineup.
