Knightrider Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 The good news is that this game is still important. The bad news of Philly beat Atlanta, and both Florida & Washington have bigger winning streaks than we do. A win allow of to leapfrog the Caps back to 9th while a loss will hard to ovecome in the playoff race. Here of the NHL preview... Go Sabres!

wjag Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I was hoping that Tampa was folding up the season after the trade deadline. They seem to be on a roll. This one won't be easy. Buffalo needs to begin winning reliably at home or all is for naught. Starts tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knightrider Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Buffalo always plays tampa very well. I'm optimistic about this one. LETS GO BUFFALO! Their new goalie they got for Richards shut out the Rags. I'm not as optimistic. You're right, we've dominated them, and they know it. I think they will be gunning for us...

LabattBlue Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 The Sabres are going to lose one or two of the division games down the stretch. This is one that they have to find a way to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Balls Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I think this one will be a little tighter than my last 2 predictions. I'm thinking Tampa 3-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth73 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Sabres NEED this one tonite, as well as TOR later this week.... bc then we have OTT 2x and then Montreal I think...... need these 4 pts desperately..... which goes without saying I guess It's funny how quickly Buffalo fans emotions change after a win or 2.... or a loss or 2 for that matter.... when our team loses its the end, we get angry, curse them, etc.... its over!...when they win there are positive posts, hope, happiness, excitement, etc.... I am just as guilty as gthe next guy....is that just aprt of being a Buffalo sports fan? I know people and friends that are much more even "keeled" about their teams..... but Buffalo fans seem to take wins and losses to the extreme. Agree?

SwampD Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Maybe it's because they are such a young team and they feel all the pressure we put on them, but they don't seem to get up for a game as much when they are at home. I really hope this doesn't happen tonight. I also would love to see Vanek light it up tonight. He really needs it and I think it would fire up the whole team.

carpandean Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Bah, there are 8 more games after this one, they can take this one off. :ph34r: We are still very much in this, but every game might as well be a must-win. This team is streaky and right now that streak is an upward one. Hope they keep that going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Nothing less than seven of the remaining nine is going to be needed to get in IMHO. I'm hopeful but not expectant. And that means: sweep Boston, sweep Toronto, beat the Lightning, and split with Ottawa and Montreal. It also implies winning on the last day of the regular season, ie, win to get in. And it is a road game where Boston will have the same issues. Anything short of this will not work. Boston has been really tough versus the Sabres so a sweep seems improbable. I can see maybe splitting with Ottawa. Splitting with Montreal doesn't seem realistic. Of course it is all academic if the Lightning slip past the Sabres. A 3-point game, with a Buffalo win tonight, is perfectly fine, albeit nerve wracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrsarkov Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Another must win tonight; followed by a final, really really must win on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two or less Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 They got nothing on us. Watch for Vanek to have a big game. Well rested and ready to go. 2 goal night by TV tonight. I say 4-1 Buffalo, Pommer and Sekera the other 2 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 From Tampa Bay's GDT: "I have really mixed feelings about this game tonight. Although I want to see the Lightning pull out another win, Buffalo and Washington seem to have the greatest chance of moving up to the 8th playoff spot. At this point of the season, when our games mean absolutely nothing, I wouldn't be all that upset about a Sabres win, especially if it means kicking Philthadelphia to the curb.
