Vinnie up with Tallness and Skinny
Clague and Pilot have passed Fitz on the defense depth chart.

I like throwing Vinnie up top. We control the line matchup, and Vinnie will bring added North South speed for the line. This also throws Tuch to Cozens and Peterka, which makes a formidable line, and they match against Vegas top line for sure.

We have 2 players with more points than Jack in less games. No reason we can't beat Vegas. Pieterangelo and Theadore are the key to Vegas. Our forwards need to challenge them immediately. Give them space and they'll kill us.

I am hoping for quick breakouts, hit your outlet before they can get on you. Use your speed to get on there defense, get traffic to the net.

They don't need to win in order to connect to the fan base. They can still "win" without winning

But if the players and management really are serious about getting fans back full-time, then they need to dig deep and find a W here, Vegas skill be damned

- Hank Balling

Agreed. Fans only care about the W and beating Jack Eichel.

That’s literally the reason the building will be full, that’s a whole different story for me, but whatever.

Random stupid comment:

Sabres should’ve gone with the goat heads.

I get it. The arena will be packed anyways and waste of a promotion might

But the black Sabres jerseys would’ve kinda of looked evil vs Eichel.

Idk I could be talking out of my Butt

They're wondering about that on pregame. They think Pilot might be sick.

This announcer loves sticking it to Sabre fans. I've heard "near sellout" and "near capacity" enough already. He could just say nice crowd, big crowd, loud croud. Annoucers take their shots in subtle ways.

This is gonma be a fun listen I'm sure.

Still making strange decisions. Top 6 should be settled at this point, with Quinn part of it.

Annoying with two untouchables on the 4th line.

Man, ticketmaster shouldn't have jacked prices up to $90 for 300 level tickets last week. Might have filled the place

My BIL from southern California wanted to go to his first Sabres game and I recommended this one. We had six interested but $90 per person was way too high

Playing that illusionist game. The way there going they will never truly evaluate anyone.

Year 3 of evaluations, still waiting for decisions on guys they logically need to move on from.

Sorry boss, but watching Zemgus refuse to finish open ice check opportunities is infuriating. I cant stand watching him wave a stick vaguely in the area as he peels around

They possibly have 15 to 20 guy that might deserve a look in the next 3 to 5yrs, they can't handle 1 right now.

Sabres don’t want to go in front of the net and perimeter shots won’t win you games
