Yes! My first GDT!

The NHL leading Big Bad Bruins are coming to town and that is likely not a good thing for the Sabres as they try and keep themselves relevant in the playoffs race.

Missed the Caps and Flyers game due to work travel... I'll 50/50 today's game simultaneously watching F1... I hope they give me a reason to tune in fully to the game versus the race...

 

Normally that's an easy one for me, but after Friday's game I'm feeling the same.  Verstappen from p15 should be entertaining at least.

Longshot…

Probably get close enough to break hearts… especially given the two no-show games last week…

Just puts more pressure on KA, DG, and the team to make the playoffs next year

Found it interesting Harrington picked today to name names and comment on several top players recent performance and DG roster decisions during the wild card chase… Could have waited for his off-season grades
