They actually are closer because the alternative if they had lost both games this weekend would have been a sell-off of Sheary, Rodrig, Girgs and Larry. Instead, they got slightly better (in my opinion) and management is actually giving them a chance to fight for something. THis team needed it because the stench of losing those players, and giving up, would have been tough to watch. I doubt they make the playoffs but I have hope that they are going to fight like hell to give it an honest shot.

That's an incredibly impressive win!!!!

Please, please!

Anything but 2 goals in the next 5 minutes

KO!

Play for ot in the 3rd here

Not going to win this without pp goals

Would you take 1 point right now? I would

No matter what happens, at least it's a game that matters and we are a week from March. Low standards but would be great to extend the season a little longer.

Where's the lamb, let's get this over with quickly 6-2 pens

This team is in the playoffs if he doesn't make the O'Reilly trade. That move alone, and the fact they still have no replacement is grounds for dismissal. That is the worst trade in Sabres history and he's still here?

At least Montreal, Philly and Toronto all won tonight so Botts has zero reason to even think about playoffs as the deadline approaches. Once they get trounced by Pitt on Saturday, the curtain will drop shortly after....

Tage was never the target. I can't remember who my buddy said Buffalo was going after in the trade, all I know is they did not get him. Botts folded and GMs know he is weak

He got his money and I agree with Marty, he's not working hard enough. No goals, fine, but he is not creating anything out there with his effort....nothing. He should not have to wait until he gets his 2nd line center to show that part of his game.

Contract year, enough said. Skinner has not been adding anything to this team and if he is not scoring, he is totally invisible. He completely deserves to be blasted on the air

I was going to post this and was listening at the time. I was like....FINALLY!!!!!! It was so perfect and really screamed the tone of.....you guys still basically suck so stop dancing around this ridiculous point of improvement. I was so happy when Howard said the not making the playoffs part.....relief.

Clearly you have never had the Dirty South there

And I'll keep abandoning it GDamnit. The only reason I MIGHT come back next year is the royal blue jersey.....and if they find a #2 Center, and another top 6 winger..................and a goalie..........................and if they install a LLoyds at the arena. ONLY THEN!!!!

If he trades Risto, that is 100% my cue to abandon season tickets next year. I fully expect it to happen though because idiot boy only trades the players I want to keep in exchange for players that will be on another team within 2 years.

Exactly right. And there is ZERO reason to panic and get a #2C for the home stretch. This team is nowhere near playoff ready and if our GM tries to get that Center now, he will overpay by a ton since playoff teams will be in the mix too. The season is over so just wait another month and a half and pray Botts is fired that day

I cared for an entire 4 periods in the last 3 months. The Maple Leafs game 2 nights ago and the first tonight. I can't believe how stupid I was to even care one more time for this bunch of losers

Jesus, who cares. The entire team is getting blown up in the summer and this season is over

I have zero doubt in my mind that the only team in the East that will be worse than us next year will be Detroit. If they win the lottery this year, that might be up for debate as well.

I actually thought that I might be making it to one more Sabres game this year. At least I can put the rest of the games up for sale all at once. Another great year!

It's just as well, this team was never going to make a run. Go Panthers!
