Brawndo Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 YOUR BUFFALO SABRES, welcome the Ottawa Senators into Key Bank Center for the final home game of the 2018-19 Season. A season that started with hope, a ten game winning streak leading to first place overall in the NHL only to have them come crashing back to Earth. Many questions remain, Is this the last time we will see Phil Housley behind the Sabres Bench as HC at KBC? Which Sabres Players will be gone after next season? Which period will the Fans in the 300s start the Fire Housley Chant? Will the Sabres be the first team to have a 10 Game Winning and a 10 Game Losing Streak in the same season. Ottawa comes in off a victory over the Rangers last night. The Sabres are coming off a loss to the Predators. Oh and it’s Fan Appreciation Night. Get your Jack Eichel Bobble Head. Go Sabres And two more games to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruppstahl Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Ottawa bringing up a 22 year old rookie goalie to "join the team" for the rest of the season. LOL.

Wyldnwoody44 Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 I made it home, and will go tonight and I may be responsible for the fire Housley chant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallawaySabres Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) This, believe it or not, will be the first game where I am actively cheering for the loss. This is a big one to have a shot at the number three spot. I am fully expecting them to win which will then put all the pressure on the Detroit game. The good thing is that the Red Wings are one of the hottest teams in the league right now and will probably want to close out with a victory at home and ride that positivity into the offseason.

You clinch last place with a couple of games left, so that winning is OK again. Finish on a positive note. Go Sens! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallawaySabres Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 End the season on a 10 game losing streak....my God, if there was anything more fitting for a Buffalo sports fan. You really just have to laugh at how incredibly ironic that would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, 8-2 in their last 10 games. Playing rookies, playing to win, fast and hard and having fun. I will be flipping between the games (Bflo) and here in PGH tonight as Pens need a win to clinch a playoff spot. Detroit has Dreary Dan as an assistant. Are they that much more talented than our Sabres ? Sabres last game against Nashville I was mildly surprised the Sabres actually played a very solid, looked like a real team, spirited hockey game. Just confusing to me that wasn't present more often when it still mattered in the last 20+ games that I tried to watch if only to see that kind of play. So while some are rooting for a win or a loss here already. I am rooting for good entertaining Hockey. Lets go solid, spirited, remember why you choose this profession, play like you belong and made the NHL your life goal,,, Hockey. And I hope to see it from the Sabre's that will be there next year.

LGR4GM Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Speaking of Risto, let me share how god awful he really is using a stat that I only bring up because of the difference. The 2nd worst +/- in his draft class is Bo Horvat at -50. Ristolainen is the worst at, -145. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he did go to a team that was built to lose for two years and was actually on the ice with Pat Kaleta as center. Not sure if any of the others were dealt that hand.

CallawaySabres Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 4 minutes ago, Brawndo said: Alex should be heading East on the 90 this afternoon 5 players away from competing next year, 5 new upgrades folks. Sabres organization being very risky with plastic bobblehead night for the closer. Let's just hope fans have good aim with the 6 players that need to be replaced. One good shot to Okposo could free up that spot, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Jack will score another own goal. No better way to show Ottawa we will not be outdone in this game of suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
