bob_sauve28 Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 Here are more notes from Wednesday's practice at KeyBank Center. 1. Granato said he does not expect Dahlin to play at home against Tampa Bay on Saturday in addition to missing Thursday's game in Boston. "I don't want to rush him back with the type of issue he's dealing with," Granato said. "So, I don't expect him back Saturday, but I don't have any feedback on (Dahlin's skate) this morning yet." 2. Stillman was greeted by familiar faces upon his arrival in Buffalo. His father, Cory, was a longtime NHL forward who won his second Stanley Cup alongside Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams as members of the Carolina Hurricanes in 2006, when Riley was 8 years old. "We talked today, actually, some old memories of when I was kind of buzzing around the room as a kid folding towels and hanging out with the trainers and doing all that stuff and picking his brain," Stillman said. Cory Stillman was also teammates with Jeff Skinner during Skinner's rookie season in 2010-11. 3. The Sabres visit the Bruins at 7 p.m. on Thursday. Coverage on MSG begins at 6:30 p.m. https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/buffalo-sabres-riley-stillman-press-conference/c-341688622 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallawaySabres Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 My goodness how things have changed in the last 5 days with playoff hopes. Scoreboard has been cruel, players injured, no trades and teams around them all got better. I will hope for the best but all of a sudden, playoffs seem like a distant memory. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're just going to have to suck it up and play harder. I'm watching prices on the resale market waiting to see if a single seat gets drastically discounted around 4-5pm. Prices for this game were close to $200 a few weeks ago. But as of now you can find singles for under $90. (Not including stupid fees of course.)

To the team the changes are less than to the fans. We are still neck and neck in a showdown with 7 teams. We still have games in hand. We are still without Dahlin and Tuch. We still don’t have #1 goalie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottysabres Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 "Great playoff race moments are born from succeeding with great opportunity, and that's what have here tonight, fans. That's what your Sabres have earned here tonight. One game; if we played them 1000 times, they might win 9000. But not this game, not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight we stay with them, and we shut them down because Stillman is in the line up. Tonight, we are the greatest wild card chasing hockey team in the league . You were born to be on the outside looking in -- every one of you, and you were meant to be here tonight because of the schedule. This is your time. Their time is, not quite done, but shorter today than it was yesterday. It's almost over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Bruins have. Screw 'em. This is your time to break Marchands face. Now go out there and try to win while head hunting!" 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French Collection Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 Big game, no tougher opponent. The boys better come out strong, being flat just won’t cut it. We all know about Dahlin and Tuch, time for others to step up. I know it’s a cliche but that needs to happen. Honestly, I would settle for a loser point. Let’s go Buffalo!

Taro T Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 1 hour ago, LGR4GM said: Hamilton thinks UPL will get the start in goal tonight. Would be very surprised if he doesn't. Granato seems to give goalies that got wins against a team once the next game against that same team. UPL was in net on New Year's Eve. The only fly in the ointment is who does Adams send down to Ra-cha-cha to make room for Stillman? Maybe that's why management is saying Dahlin won't be available Saturday - could see him going to IR to keep both UPL and Peterka in the lineup. Really unhappy that Comrie didnt get the BJ's start. This game should've been Anderson's but it can't be now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustache of God Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 Maybe win? I have zero expectations tonight. Agree with above about the goalie selection. I've loved a lot of what I've seen from the team this year but there's also been some head scratchingly poor decisions from Granato and Adams. It's like watching McDermott throw a challenge flag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruff Around The Edges Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) The 3rd round pick in 2023 we just got for Portillo will really come in handy tonight. 🙄 6-2 Bruins and the slide begins.
