Who scores the first goal of the 2012-2013 season?

Who do you think scores our first goal of the season?

I left out Gerbe and McCormick because both are injured. Left out Pardy and Brennan too, assuming both aren't in Buffalo.

Nice poll question - was going to suggest this poll or make it myself.

No love for Grigs? or did you just run out of room and wanted to make sure theres a space for "Other" just in people wanted to predict that Gerbe/McCormick/Brennan/Pardy or someone else - scores the first goal? Or do you think hes not even going to get a tryout?

Speaking of predicting scoring goals (or assists even) - hopefully the Sabres Survivor Contest returns - it made the games more fun to watch last season. Especially during that losing road trip in January - hoping your Sabre player scored or got an assist so you could advance to the next game or perhaps even win that round. Of course, I hope we have none of those stretches this season and that every game is an exciting one and ends with a Sabres win!

Not even a Stafford fan just think he's gonna get #1.

16 votes so far and none for Vanek. I like that John Scott has a vote though.

Matt Ellis because he's a viking warrior/

Gotta be Jochen, from a bad angle.

I didn't pick Vanek just because it was too obvious to go with our best pure goal scorer. I have a strong feeling that Ennis is going to sprint out of the gate this year, even if the elevated responsibility/difficulty of match-ups might catch up after a few weeks. Stafford's the chosen beneficiary in this scenario.

Here's to hoping Vanek-Pommers have the same kind of start they did last year as well.

Someone has to do it, so... Grigorenko!!

 

[buffswords]

Sulzer....Everbody knows it.

 

[joshjull]

Matt Ellis because he's a viking warrior/

that's awesome.


First goal = Ville Leino!!!

 

[ZZamboni]

Ehrhoff of course

5 minutes into the philly game, ennis makes a slick pass to stafford who uncorks a one timer that hits bryzgalov and squeeks through him into the crease, foligno crashes the net and shovels it home

 

[Strexvale]

It's goin' to be Jochen or Leino I suspect.

Im sure if the poll was "who scores the most goals this season" vanek would get lots of love

 

[sba]

Captain Poms

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Bobby Ryan.

 

[TheWook]

Voted Drew. I was leaning towards Leo but he may not even be here

 

[JOHNBOY]

Matt Ellis because he's a viking warrior/

agreed

 

[rabi]

Grigs

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Pominville with HM to Foligno

I picked Stafford, although I think Leino is also very realistic. He scored against the Flyers at least twice last year in four games.

 

[Woodhouse]

I picked Stafford, although I think Leino is also very realistic. He scored against the Flyers at least twice last year in four games.

And both were the Sabres first goals in those games IIRC.

 

[Shoey]

I couldn't vote for John Scott any faster.

Own goal off Leopold's skate. 1-0, Flyers.

I'll say Hodgson on the PP.
