Sabre1974 Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 I just want us to be ready from the start. Heard too many times from housley about them not being ready and being sluggish, slow. That's on you mate. And compete for the whole game. Please win. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 A win vaults the Sabres up to a tie at 17th overall, a loss and a Rangers win drops Sabres into a tie for 23rd... bunch of teams 7 total around the 66-69 point mark.

New Guy Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Well at least this game is at home, where our record isn't a total joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoath Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 I am weirdly expecting a good performance tonight. Crazy Phil's line selection lottery machine has churned out some decent results from seemingly horrible lines. I predict an all offence game. Sabres win by the odd goal in 9. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallawaySabres Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 I hope they lose tonight so at least they won't get completely destroyed when I am at the game in Toronto tomorrow. Obviously if they win tonight, they are going to get smoked tomorrow. It just seems that this is how this team operates unfortunately. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 My last game of the season. Well, until tickets go to about $5 and there are callups from Rochester to evaluate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need your coach to continually fire up the team and have them ready to play, you have the wrong team. Players need to be self-motivated. Coaches are there to help turn it up when the self-motivation falters, they are not there to replace it. This team is still looking for those 1-2 players who will do that. They don't have them right now. They haven't had them in a long time. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJFIVEOH Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 What sucks is, if they win tonight, it means they are going to lose to the Leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyldnwoody44 Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 What sucks is that even up to a month or so ago, we were looking forward to the 2 pens games as they were the "most important" ones we needed to win, all we had to do was stay afloat a little. We then lost to Florida, NJ, etc etc and here we are, out of touch and fading fast, leave it to Buffalo to find a way and turn it on after the fat lady has sung. I'm not advocating for draft position but does turning it on now and going into the off season hot really matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverPowerYou Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Even If we won 10 games in a row again we would still find a way to miss the playoffs this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pittsburgh has Crosby and Malkin... two of the guys (Ovie) to whom Risto plays his most physical and annoying. (If only he could do that against the Leafs, Lightning, and Boston. You know... within our division.) The rest of our team feeds off that tonight, even if Crosby goes for 1-1-2. Sabres 4, Pens 3. Barely miss an empty net. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully expect them to embarrass me with all my buddies here that are Penguins fans. If they just played hard and smarter most games and let the chips fall where they may I would feel better about it. Fell as fast as we climbed. From so much hope and promise back to so much horse manure. Don't know how these players can be happy over the last several months looking like they play one out of four games as a team with enthusiasm and maximum effort. Where's a Lindy when you need someone sending the guys out saying "Go run em"... Lets go Buffalo, show some life for your fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samson's Flow Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Friend called us last night with free 200 level tickets, so I guess that means we're attending this one. Her husband is a Penguins fan as well, so hopefully the home team gives a solid showing tonight so we don't have to listen to him all game :) 3 hours ago, Eleven said: My last game of the season.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Thanks, chz, for getting us going. A thankless job, indeed. MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!! I think our guys come out flying and play a full 60 minutes. The Pens are struggling somewhat and the Sabres take advantage. 5 -2 .......... WIN!!
