This is the contrasting styles game I've been waiting for. How we play in this one should tell us a lot about what we really are or aren't.
Yup. This isn't some freewheelin' Leafs or no-confidence Wings team. This is the grind-it-out veteran "We-ARE-the-loser-point" team that's been solidly 4th-6th in their division every year but are built to win a quarterfinal playoff round. These are the teams in the way. Starting now, they must be left behind.
The Sabres need to beat the Isles decisively and prove what they're learned from last season. Or to put it another way: "The Island. Remember your failure at the Island."
(Caveat because all we remember is the Fasching kick in a loss -- the Sabres shut out the Isles 2-0 later in March last year.)

And thus... the Concept of Bernier was born!

Steve Bernier
I couldn't remember Bernier's name last week, either.

Anyone know the Sabres record with EJ out of the lineup (either scratched or post-trade)?
If my math is correct, the Sabres were 22-24-4 in the 50 games he dressed.
That would make it 9-6-1 without him in the lineup so far. (7-5-1 scratched/injured; 2-1 post-trade)
It's not as nice a W-to-L correlation as Bryson has this season.

Avenge the Hudson Fasching kick in goal.
This was my thought as well.
Robinson or VO (or maybe Rousek if dressed)... if the Sabres win, one of them plays a key role tonight.

I would word that as "this new duo could recognized as one of the best pairings in the league in the not too distant future."
...because I think they already are, people just haven't realized it yet. Even on the Avs forum on HFBoards they're saying that.
They're very, very good.
And now for the fun "sample size" we'd all be hearing about if this were at the beginning of the season: Byram's got a Corsi of 59%, pacing 82 goals, and +109 for a full season. 😇

Currently 31-35. Get back to real/DeLuca .500 for the start of April (with all games remaining vs the East) and then you can say there’s a chance.

I got a text from a Canucks fan, friend, in second period. It read, and I quote, “The Sabres are amazing when there’s nothing to play for huh? ”
That's the real trick, isn't it?

Wow. If Tuch scores there, Detroit should just walk out.

If you're going to stop the game for a concussion protocol, take him out of the game.

The Wings will try to send a message for Saturday. And for themselves to get out of this rut and stay in the playoff spot.
Answer the call. And don't be afraid to escalate it. For UPL.

Can Krebs even fight?
Not really. But he has more career fights than a whole bunch of other Sabres.

Detroit intermission guy just called them the Bills.
The 7 on the scoreboard will do that.

Krebs... you're a -1 tonight. Go get a danged goal. (And start a fight)

Benson and Greenway are smart PKers.

Hey, defenseman! It doesn't matter if you drove him into UPL or not, you take offense and go get that guy! Dang it. Go get them!

Just now, ... said:
Are we not worried about his concussion history anymore?
Not until it reveals itself at the most inopportune time?
JJP!!!

Great pinch by Byram. And he turns it into a goal!

You don't understand my point of view. I don't want to be a team that is relying on an unsustainable pdo to get anywhere. I want to be more good than lucky.
Yes, but if you can take advantage of being lucky, you can still go back to sustainable in the following seasons. I also want to the sustained greatness, but I'm not going to turn down the outlier season.
It's the same idea as get hot at the right time in the playoffs. Get to the dance, then maybe your power play carries you for 2 weeks (like the Sabres in '99).

You don't want to be the Canucks impo. They're going to see the sh% regression Buffalo had this year, next year.
Their shooting percentage has been regressing all season. They've still got a +56 goal differential and are 1 point off a President's Trophy pace. That'd be pretty nice next year.

Pressure leads to rebounds. Rebounds lead to scrambling D. Scrambling leads to goals.
