French Collection Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 Florida will be tired from yesterday. The Sabres need to take advantage of this and play a fast paced game. They have shown to be capable of this and need to pressure the Cats to have a chance. Too bad Levi couldn’t have been signed and have him start vs Knight in a World Juniors grudge match. Let’s go Buffalo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamboni Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 • This is the third of four meetings between the Sabres and Panthers this season. • Last meeting: Florida defeated Buffalo 6-1 in Buffalo on March 7. • Next meeting: Friday, April 8 in Florida. • The Sabres are 4-5-1 in their last 10 games against the Panthers; 5-5-0 at home. • This is the 106th game all-time between Buffalo and Florida; Buffalo has a 52-44-9 series record. • The Sabres are 30-20-4 at home against the Panthers all-time. • The Sabres enter tonight's game with at least a point in each of their last eight contests (5-0-3) for the first time since the team won 10 games in a row from Nov. 8 to 27, 2018. • The team also recorded a point in eight straight games (7-0-1) spanning two seasons.

JohnC Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) The attached link is a column written by the AP's John Wawrow. What is interesting about this article that I believe was posted in the Buffalo News is that it was also posted in today's Washington Post. The Sabres are starting to get national attention for their performances instead of for their dysfunction. Florida is a serious Cup contender. However, in a win in Jersey they played a tough come from behind game last night. Although Florida embarrassed the Sabres in a game at home not long ago, I consider this is a winnable game. Tired legs can empty the tank very quickly. We need to play at a fast peddle to the metal pace right from the start. https://www.ourmidland.com/sports/article/Surging-Sabres-show-signs-of-blossoming-in-17046388.php Edited April 3, 2022 by JohnC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimlach Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 Let’s keep it going. Muscle Weight. We need some goals today and great goaltending too. Florida on a back to back so let’s play 3 strong periods. I hope more fans show than the usual 8000. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(but thanks for starting the thread 😉 ) It's simple. You always want to be a fan of the team with the negative sign in front of the number. Panthers Odds-275 Really good team Sabres Odds+225 Really bad team. Closer those numbers are to each other the more evenly matched game. I don't bet on much. I enjoy seeing horse racing live on great occasion and a simple $2.00 bet on a race. I do enjoy seeing a numerical representation of my teams chances. To me it is the most simplistic of *fancy stats* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_MI Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) Not sure if people are saying “I truly don’t understand the odds / money line” or “I wish announcers did a better job explaining to casual fans” If the first, I’ll try and contribute; The + / - in gambling odds ends up being fairly simple. It’s all in relation to $100. A “-xxx” number means the amount of money, at that moment in time, you need to wager to win $100. So, if a team is “-225”, you would need to wager $225 to win your original bet ($225) plus an additional $100. This is the favorite of the game. A “+xxx” is the amount of money won on a $100 bet. So, if a team is “+200”, you would win a total of $300 (your original $100 back, plus winnings of an additional $200). This team is the underdog of the game. Similar concept for over / under. You’ll notice the numbers never match. This is how the sports book makes money. The slight difference in odds means that they will take home some percentage in between the two betting pools.

jsb Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 A bit of a revenge game. It seemed to me the Panthers were laughing at the boys in their last 6-1 win against the Sabres. Time to earn some Respect back from these guys. I victory would be awesome but respect is the key word here. With Tokarski most likely in net this afternoon, it will be very important for the boys to get some good will carry over from the Nashville win. We'll also see if there's any carry over effect from the sell out crowd in the last game to today's game. If not a sellout hopefully there's a bigger crowd than usual.

K-9 Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 The incremental maturation process needs to continue. Friday, they showed they can close a game out vs a good team. Today, they need to show they have moved on from Friday’s amazing high and avoid the kind of letdown a night like Friday can lead to. Same goes for the fans that attend. Let’s keep showing these guys what they’ve been missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you that it was the few jerks that contaminated the discourse. John W is not a passive fellow. He was capable of punching back. It appears that he didn't want to get in the ring anymore. He had better things to do with his limited time like pursuing the exotic beer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveoath Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 Boo Florida. Yay Sabres. Hope that they are knacked after a tough one yesterday. They definitely did not like the forecheck from the Devils, so we need to get in about them from puck drop. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at his twitter, he seems pretty combative himself. Other sports writers shrug it off but he seems to take it very personally.

Broken Ankles Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 We will be watching the game on tape delay. My 82 year old father is visiting from Buffalo and we are golfing this morning. The Sabres have been on fire since his arrival going 3-0-2 which has enhanced his stay. Could be a letdown after the emotional win on Friday however @jsb point about revenging the embarrassment for last months loss is something I look forward to seeing from the boys. Enjoy the game.
