Jeremy Laura: Lindstrom to debut in Buffalo

Mantha..."One more fight" Phil Collins
Nielsen..."Life in the Frans Lane" The Eagles
Abdelkader... "Abby Toad" The Beatles
Bertuzzi..."Bertuzzi fills the nets" Elton John
Red Wings D..."Red Wings D plays like sheet" AC/DC
Blashill..."Here I lose again on my own." Whitesnake

Maybe not! Playing against my Sabre’s should make your players look like all stars. Shouldn’t pass judgment on these players until next game u play. The Sabres are an utter mess right now.

4-2 Detroit

The train has jumped the tracks and it may never get fixed. Yep. THAT bad !

If you’re ever in Michigan, I owe you a cup of coffee for that. I laughed out loud. Never leave again!

Buffalo is such an enigma. I feel like there are so many good players there, but it just gets derailed every year. Jack Eichel keeps getting better. I love watching him play. Just a bizarre season again

It feels like there has to be a real fix. Something has to kick in for Buf. I like a lot of the pieces you have in place.

Why do I think Eichel will score 4 goals vs Detroit?

Nice! “I guess that’s why they call it the blues” may also work

Premonition or educated guess

Another great song. 😊

Those lines make you want to “ Bang Your Head “, over and over.

I don’t understand what goes on that this is what they throw together. It’s like someone stood up and decided that we needed to be worse than we are now.

Helm was always a good 3rd liner and regardless of the plan with AA, he won’t produce on a line like that. It’s criminal at this point to keep throwing out that trash and trying to balance a crappy team with the lines.

It’s a no brainer on D when you have Hronek and a bunch of trash. Hopefully Gustav has a good showing to provide some hope on that side of the line up for the future.

Speaking of Elton John, his song "Rocket Man" could be replaced with "Yzer Man."

He packed his bags last night for Detroit pre-flight
Zero hour nineteen AM
And he's gonna pick high for Lafreniere on draft Day night
I miss winning so much I miss my old Red Wings life
It's lonely out of a playoff race
On such a timeless rebuild flight
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till Stevie brings us round again to find
Holland wasn't the man so we brought Stevie home
Oh no no no he's Steve Yzer Man
Yzer Man burning out his minutes on the phone
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till Stevie brings us round again to find
Holland wasn't the man so we brought Stevie home
Oh no no no he's Steve Yzer Man
Yzer Man burning out his minutes on the phone
Blashill ain't the kind of coach to teach your kids
In fact he's dumb as hell
And there's no one there to score goals or defend
And all this process I don't understand
It's just his job five trades a year
A Yzer Man, a Yzer Man
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till Stevie brings us round again to find
Holland wasn't the man so we brought Stevie home
Oh no no no he's Steve Yzer Man
Yzer Man burning out his minutes on the phone
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till Stevie brings us round again to find
Holland wasn't the man so we brought Stevie home
Oh no no no he's Steve Yzer Man
Yzer Man burning out his minutes on the phone
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time

That, my friend, was epic. Well done sir

hope Lindstrom plays like Lidstrom
- wingz4life

That probably won’t be the case...

Guys I think Buffalo is gonna shut out Detroit.

Leafs dealt for Jack Campbell it looks like.

It feels like there has to be a real fix. Something has to kick in for Buf. I like a lot of the pieces you have in place.

There is zero passion and heart in how they play, aside from Eichel. ZERO leadership. Does that partially fall on Eichel, their Captain ? Maybe so. Rumor has it that when they were getting sodomized by the Av’s the other night and down 5-1, Brandon Montour and Sam Reinhart were chuckling It up on the bench. Leaders (or better yet Winners) don’t allow that to happen. No one stepped up.

I think aside from an obvious talent discrepancy between good teams and the Sabres they sorely lack in accountability and veteran leadership.

Wow those guys must be bums, please trade them to Detroit immediately for Abdelkader and Glendening. Those guys are all heart and veteran leadership.

I think we might need to throw in another million in salary to make the cap work out for the Sabres, too, so take your pick of Erne or Bowey.

It beats listening to Abdelkader after the latest loss telling everyone what the Wings did or didn't and need to do. Like he'd know. Sponging off Datsyuk to get a ridiculous contract extension and mailing it in ever since. He's an assistant Captain? Disgraceful. He doesn't even belong in the NHL. I don't care what he thinks. He has zero credibility. Why does the media put a mike in his face? Ridiculous!

Media will almost always show favoritism to whoever is willing to stand in front of a mic and give them quotes they can use to fill their empty and meaningless postgame reports.

That's why we keep reading stories every summer about how Abdelkader needs to "bounce back this season" even though his numbers have been deplorable since 20-frickin-16 and and he's scored a grand total of 17 even strength goals in his last 267 games played. Also why they'll keep pumping his tires ("leadership in the room is invaluable!") and act like as long as he throws a bunch of hits and "plays with some energy" he's contributing something actually meaningful to the team.
