Seriously, Upstate New York. Put up a better fight today than you did in 1813.​

Challenge: Pick and choose whatever combination of players from the two lineups listed above. Can you make a playoff-caliber squad?

 

[jacobhockey13]

Please Sabres #regwin4hanifin

 

[AZviaNJ]

Anyone else see a Moss hat trick coming this game?

 

[Bondurant]

1. People always rip on the Bills for losing back-to-back-to-back-to-back Super Bowls. That's a damn worth accomplishment if you ask me. As a Lions fan, I'd kill to say we appeared in 4 Super Bowls.

2. AZ should send the entire squad to Portland and move the lads up. Quality experience and McEichel insurance.

 

[Sabre the Win]

You guys are probably facing Matt Hackett tonight. 90% sure.

 

[roadrunner]

Craziest GDT ever. Aptly done, as this is the craziest situation I think I've ever seen as a long-time Coyotes fan. Two teams vying for last place, and both fanbases want to see losses for their OWN teams. And a few days later, same sheet.

 

[RiotAct]

Awesome GDT, guys May the worse team lose!!!

 

[Matias Maccete]

Awesome GDT, guys May the worse team lose!!!

Oh we will. We're gonna lose so hard you won't even know what to do!

"WORST VERSION OF TIM KENNEDY ONCE EMPLOYED"

Hilarious.

 

[Gabrielor]

This type of process demands this type of dark humor.

Well done.

 

[brian_griffin]

Well-done GDT!!!

Ever notice that if Darcy Regier was wearing a hoodie, he'd look a lot like Emperor Palpatine? So whose side is he really on tonight...?

 

[ck26]

Craziest GDT ever.

Not by much ... look at the rest of my GDT's

 

[Husko]

Regarding your tank battle in the OP, we let a president get assassinated, just saying.

This little 2 game series is getting off to a feisty start!

[Etch]

The entire season has come down to this.

The great battle of our time.

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

Well done.

 

[Etch]

Replace "Froto and Sam" with McDavid and Eichel.

 

[N.Y. Orangeman]

Outstanding. Hoping we both end up with what we deserve...

 

[Afino]

Love you guys.

No matter what, I think we'd all have McEichel in Arizona than anywhere else if it can't be Buffalo.

 

[BornBuffaloFan]

I moved to Phoenix...

yes, there are no plows for heat... but you have mistys (not sure if i spelled that right. never thought i would type Misty in the plural version)

They don't call it the greatest rivalry in sports for nothing.

Are you referring to Mister systems?

 

[EichHart]

Haha great thread. May the best tank win. You forgot to include the goal that went in through the net against Philly in the playoffs and the no goal from 1999. Buffalo sports are cursed beyond repair and expect a 3-2 Sabres win.

 

[Gras]

Its a shame Ted's doesnt server beer or have TV's, would be the best place to go to watch the game, if I wasn't in Toronto for work.
