Demoted Posted Saturday at 08:45 AM Report Posted Saturday at 08:45 AM Sabres have won at least 1 of the games against the Panthers in the past years. Maybe they get that win today. 1 Quote

LGR4GM Posted Saturday at 11:37 AM Report Posted Saturday at 11:37 AM This is how they lined up yesterday Quote
Brawndo Posted Saturday at 11:50 AM Report Posted Saturday at 11:50 AM Florida is playing their third game in four days and they are banged up. This probably would have been a great opportunity for Ellis to get a start Either way They should win. 1 Quote

Anyone that certain of the outcome ought to monetize their hunches, right. A classic making- lemonade-from-lemons scenario. Take this game. On Draftkings Panthers are -142 moneyline. So a $10 bet earns $7.04. Edited Saturday at 01:19 PM by PromoTheRobot Quote

Young man, you've watched enough regular season hockey to know there's no reason to be that pessimistic about a single game in time. The Sabres have beat many top teams in recent seasons. The rest factor alone points strongly to Buffalo, and there are psychological factors in their favor as well. Sabres win, daaaaaaaaa Sabres win! 1 1 Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted Saturday at 02:12 PM Report Posted Saturday at 02:12 PM Nabbed some 21$ seats on the old secondary market. So if anyone is going, let me know and we can try and catch up Quote

This probably would have been a great opportunity for Ellis to get a start Either way They should win. I don't know who is starting in goal. But if I had a choice, it would be Lyons. If we can get the caliber of goaltending that he has given us so far, I would be happy with that. I see the Sabres in a good situation to win this home game because of the reasons you cited. They are compared to Florida more rested, are at home and are less banged up. Another factor is that the Sabres should be determined not to fall too far back at this early stage of the season. So I'm predicting the Sabres will be in the win column by nightfall. Quote
SwampD Posted Saturday at 02:44 PM Report Posted Saturday at 02:44 PM They beat a Tkachuk-less Ottwa, now beat a Tkachuk-less Florida. Grab the points while you can. 1 Quote

Pimlach Posted Saturday at 04:14 PM Report Posted Saturday at 04:14 PM (edited) I think the Sabres can win if the goaltending is there. Not sure is Lyon gets rest or not? Florida will try the heavy game, the Sabres need to be ready and play a full 60 minutes. Two in a row would be nice. Go Sabres! Edited Saturday at 04:24 PM by Pimlach Quote
