There won’t be any lack of energy in the building tonight, so this should help keep the Sabres motivated to start playing in the first period. They’ve taken 5 of 6 points from the Playoff Chokers this year, so let’s finish them off. The Embarrassments will be motivated with Tampa trying to relegate them into wild-card status. Any kind of two points tonight, and reasonable expectations from the out of town scoreboard with Detroit at Florida, Isles in Tampa, Boston visiting the Caps… that could cue the “so your saying there’s a chance” jokes… Will there be fewer Sabres fans than normal for a Leafs game with many having considered them dead and buried? I hope there’s enough that realize when the Chokers drive back across the Peace Bridge at the end of the game, it’s usually with absolute frustration after a loss, so keep the tickets and enjoy! Need more than just the goal horn when the Sabres score. I do understand the financial considerations though if the choice is otherwise.

Don’t overlook the Flyers as a candidate to fall back. They have a very tough schedule. I expect them to be on a 7 game losing streak 5 games from now.

GDT / Islanders @ Sabres, Thurs 3/14, 7pm MSG, ESPN+ & WGR Radio

For the record, the Sabres have the tiebreaker advantage over the Islanders, Detroit and Washington with regulation wins. -
Wings were coming off a losing western road trip, so this is the way the game should have gone. Credit to the Sabres for playing very well with pace and taking advantage of Detroit’s poor play in general and fatigue. The Islanders will be coming to Buffalo in the same situation having just finished a western road trip, and where LA shut them out in their last game. Again, the Sabres need to come out and get an early lead and make the Islanders play catch up while trying to catch their breath. The difference is the Islanders aren’t generally sliding like the Wings and have good goaltending. It will probably be a closer game, but the end result has to be the same. Take advantage of their fatigue.

As I posted in the Okposo thread, they should go with Dahlin and Tuch as co-captains like in the Briere and Drury years. That worked well then and this time you get more accountability within the leadership group. This way, neither guy feels slighted as well. Also one forward and one defense alternating that C, and each arguably are good leaders in different ways. Can’t recall how they determined back then who wore the C on any given night, but those would be my thoughts.

I was trying to figure out if they were playing drunk or hung over. It’s definitely one or the other. They can’t be sober. -

It’s trending toward 6,000 season ticket holders again next year. -
The Bills injuries on D in this year’s playoffs are starting to resemble the Sabres injuries on D in the 2006 playoffs… It’s so unfortunate.

I said to my Sabres buddies several times last year that he is reminding me of Mario Lemieux. I haven’t said that this year.

I subscribed to the monthly option from Fubo, and the original cost for the first 3 months is $5 a month. At the end of March, it will be at higher cost ($10? cant recall exactly), so in April, I will likely cancel and go pirating at that point, or if it’s critical, I might sign up again using a different email to get the same deal. I would rather save a different email for the first three months next year, and then ask friend or family to use theirs if they don’t mind for the second half. I don’t know if this deal is only for Fubo Niagara Sports in Canada, which is a separate local channel for us here in the Niagara Peninsula, but it was good enough to get me sign up. The record option, getting the pre and post game shows, pausing, fast forwarding and rewinding are also value added. Good picture vs streams and always getting the Sabres broadcast help too. No TNT games and I’m guessing the ESPN+/HULU games would also not be included, but I get most of those games on Sportsnet.

Oh wow, watching the Leafs collapse in Columbus was priceless. Dangle should be awesome tomorrow. I mean, they even had Friedman and Kypreos arguing during the 2nd intermission! 😆 Hopefully CBJ are all happy and satisfied heading into Buffalo tomorrow… early start too. Rest advantage. Can’t take them lightly. We need to come out energized and score first.

Merry Christmas Sabres fans! Tonight, Santa was bearing gifts dressed in white and blue! Dr. Jekyll was in the house as well and he was wearing his best blue and gold! Happy Holidays to all, and to all we want ten! Seriously though, thank-you Leafs, we appreciate you. To our Sabres, that was a nice way to bring the entire family back together. -

All the HNIC games are national now. Long gone are the regional breakdowns. Leafs will be national on SN, Sabres national on CBC and SN360, Senators national on City.
