GDT/ Buffalo Sabres @ Flyers, 7:30pm TNT WGR

[Shoot da Puck]

It's the dreaded move above or below  .500 game

 

[mjd1001]

It seems like we've been here so many times... The glass ceiling they can't break through. 

So for the Sabres... Getting to this point is the steel rebar reinforced concrete ceiling.

[LGR4GM]

This team never wins 3 in a row and they never win the game that puts them over .500 so... 

 

[LGR4GM]

This is from yesterday at practice: Ellis had his own net meaning he is the likely starter tonight.

It's Déjà vu all over again. Last week it was the Pens and we had to win to pass through to the other side, or sink. And we sank. 

A week later, two game winning streak and a road game against rival and we need the win 

 

Go Sabres, lets get this done! 

[Mustache of God]

Chance to ignite a 3 game win streak and get above .500? If I were a gambling man I'd be betting my entire existence on the Sabres losing tonight.

Flyers seem to handle the Sabres with ease in most recent games...this has been a very ad and uncompetitive matchup for whatever reason, even when the Flyers were terrible also.

Based on how the Flyers have beaten the brakes off them in most games recently where it's 3-0 in the first 10 minutes of the game half the time, probably a fair assessment.

LFG!

[Ctaeth]

Re-energized by the norris return.  I think they win this

[kas23]

I really like these lines. Outside the 4th line, any one of them can score. 

[#freejame]

A win makes 12 wins in 26 games. The math isn’t mathing. Regardless, we’re going to take this one 5-2. Boys are buzzing.

The Deluca .500 is the only .500 that counts IMO. Excluding OTLs doesn't seem right to me.

Sadly it's the Flyers. Another bane of the Sabres existence...

I don't have optimism for this game.

Let Gary Bettman know ASAP.

Lol. For this very reason, I generally call that value "NHL .500" or "Bettman .500"

And IRL, I call the other value "true .500."

Be prepared for the worst, hope for the best
