GDT: Sabres @ Blue Jackets - April 14, 2023 - 7:30PM, MSG-B📺WGR📻

[SabresBaltimore]

Last one of the season. No Tage tonight, so no shot at another 5 goal game (or really just 3) to get to 50.

 

Still, let's hope the boys finish off strong and blow their doors out.

 

Who is your bet for starter tonight? UPL? Comrie? Or will they give another game to Levi?

[pastajoe]

I’m guessing it’s UPL, though I’d like to see another game from Levi.

[LTS]

I think it's one last chance for UPL to show what he has.  Although I'm convinced he will get traded anyway.

A Friday night game that means little in the standings versus an 80 degree night in April in Rochester.  I don't think the Sabres are winning the battle for my schedule choice.

Bring on the margaritas!

[DarthEbriate]

(Edit: Because no Tager on the PP1, it's...) Time to get VO to 30.

Now this is a hot take I can get behind.

Win and finish cleanly above the @deluca67 threshold.

[TheAud]

Excited to see if Greenway can get his first assist as a Sabre. 

[Pimlach]

Last game of a long and mostly good season.  

No Tage takes out some of the fun for sure.   

Not sure how motivated these teams will be.  Yesterday's game had several things happening that made the game important to win. 

I think we should destroy Columbus and win easily, which probably means CBJ will show pride and play hard.   

I was thinking Comrie gets a game but that is just at WAG on my part.

Could they dress both and do halvsies like in preseason?

They will dress 2 goalies.  Don't know which two.  Yes, they can switch them at anytime, but I don't see why they would.  He doesn't even change them when  they are getting bombed.

Gotta be eleven goals.

Locked into the 13th seed pre-lottery. Go out and get the W and finish a mere point out of the playoffs and a mere 8 points out of what is necessary to guarantee a spot in any year but 1970. (NHL 0.600)

Would prefer Comrie start tonight, but expecting UPL. (Actually would prefer Levi but just don't see that happening.)

They need to win by 7 to get to 0 pts diff.

Might Win?

That stupid 10 goals against game and the handful of extra goals against the Bruins the previous week pretty much doomed the dream of having a positive GF/GA differential.

[LGR4GM]

Just win and get Tage a hattie

[K-9]

Have read several posts about the Florida game or the Islander game losses as the big difference makers in not making the playoffs. Well, at the end of February, this Blue Jacket squad kicked our ass, at home, 5-3. I think the team should remember that. Although I think an emotional let down after last night is a real possibility.

Hud(BryGirgenOlofThompMuels)son: You maybe haven't been keeping up on current events but we just got our ***** kicked, pal!

VasKrebz: All right, we got seven canisters of TNT-72 (replaced today by a bunch of VO-71). I say we roll them in there and nerve gas the whole ***** nest. Of Blue Jackets, which I assume are some sort of stinging insect.

Wait... wrong movie!

Damn I was hoping Tage going for 50 would give the game some meaning. 

Farewell to Kyle? 

idk, I guess I will watch so that I can say I saw all 82. Hopefully something entertaining happens. 

[Quint]

Wonder what is wrong with Tage. He keeps falling down, like he loses he balance. Never saw that problem in his skating before. I assume Mule is down and they should probably sit Dahlin. Also please give a retirement ceremony to UPL/Comrie at the end of the game too.
