Doohickie Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) No ESPN+ exclusive or NHL Network weirdness tonight, just a normal MSG game. Would it be too presumptuous to call this a "trap game" with the Devils? I could see where the Sabres might look past this Hughes-less squad, but they beat VGK on Monday largely on the merits of a 42-save performance by Andrew Hammond in goal. Hopefully a good Power surge will be enough to overcome the Devils. GO SABRES Edited April 21, 2022 by Doohickie 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 While I don’t believe in the concept of “trap” games, I do believe in rustiness after several days off. We have not looked sharp coming off several days rest on some occasions this season. I won’t be surprised if we look flat coming out of the gate tonight and I think we will need some good net minding until we knock off the rust. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 Fully expect a slow start, but if Tokarski (presuming Anderson gets the Saturday matinee start) and keep them in it until they get their legs back, they should be OK. A win won't seal the Sabres finishing ahead of them (tiebreakers might say otherwise, haven't checked them) but Joisey would have to win out & the Sabres lose out for Joisey to catch them if Buffalo wins tonight. (They likely wouldn't catch 'em anyway, but this W would essentially seal that.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 This is where I’m supposed to bitch about the stupid NHL and how they make it so hard to watch games and because I don’t pay for MSG, I have to go to my friend’s house to see the game so I will probably miss this one. Right? Stupid NHL. meh, I’ll get over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimlach Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 This is not a trap game, both teams are out of it. I am so happy no one is posting that we should lose and try to get a "better" draft pick. We should be well rested, ready to play, and we should beat NJ. As usual, it probably depends on what kind of goaltending we get. Go Sabres - Muscle Weight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French Collection Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 Devils just beat the vaunted Knights of Las Vegas. Thanks boys. Let’s whoop them in their own barn and send their fans home knowing our rebuild is bearing fruit. I want 2 more points from Dahlin and Power’s first goal. Maybe Tage can tease 40. Let’s go Buffalo.

sweetlou Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 I think a nice 5-3 win on the road would be good. Tage x2, Skinner, Power, Asplund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 Appears Samuelsson will play with Anderson in net so I think if we want to be serious about things being different, you have to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
