They need to shake off the Toronto game and win against a tough team in a tough place to play.

This game will tell us a lot about this team. 

With all due respect to the Flyers, they aren't nearly as good as the Leafs.  If (and I know that's a big IF) the Sabres come out and play like they did last night, they could destroy the Flyers, which would be good since Philly is one point behind us in the standings.

How many games have they played down to their opponents level?  The Flyers may not be good but they are tough, they are at home, and they wont be easy to beat.

...thus the big IF.

I think they will win tonight, and handily.  They are coming off a tough loss and will be angry.  They'll be slightly buoyed by the addition of Montour, and I predict they will, in fact, come out hard and fast like they played last night.  Against Toronto that merely kept them in the game.  Against Philadelphia, it will crush them.

 

Sabres win 6-2.

You lose and this is all over. These team has reached the edge, you either start stringing wins together and start tonight or you buy new clubs. Must. Win. 

Yup, this really is the true MUST WIN game of the season. I think they beat Toronto on Saturday (mostly because I will be there)and Pitt at home on Friday will be a doozy. Now or never boys, now or never....

How much more information do you really need at this point?! We've seen more than enough. These guys are immature, lazy, stupid, and soft.

Which is exactly why the have to find the right captain or coach to guide these kids and not let them coast...

Is that why you're a fan on here? Okay they lost. The world hasn't come to an end. So much overreacting going on.

Where did that projected lineup come from? If true, it will be interesting to see the new Montour with Dahlin. Hoping they can establish quick chemistry and stabilize the defensive pairings.

I got it off of a flyers page. Will update it if need be, but I wanted to put something in there and it’s what I found. Hoping 26-62 are together so that’s why I picked that over some others. Nothing from Buffalo sites when I looked this morning v
