I honestly think if the Sabres lose tonight they’ll lose the series.  😬

But let me add I think they’ll play closer to how they did in game 1 and take tonight’s game.  Let’s go Buffalo!! 

I think they just need to split there.  Gotta show some fight and get back to buffalo even.

You are the dad of the day for doing that! Maybe the week.

There was no way I was not going to get her to a playoff game, it’s a right of passage and she needs to see it.

i told her to bring a friend so she is 🔥 ⬆️!!!

she thinks she is sitting in the 300 level behind the net and she is so pumped. I can’t wait until I send her the tickets right before the game and she keeps walking further and further down towards the ice.

I make no predictions.  I'll watch the games and hope for the best.

The Sabres have been good on the road.  Let’s hope getting away from the frenzy in Buffalo helps them.  

Lindy started to talk about being at home for too long, then bit his tongue.

We might not see a goalie change, but I see an ampersand with its ass nailed to the bench.

GO SABRES !!!

TD Gardens is such a nice rink and the atmosphere there for the playoffs was great (no keybank center, but better than Raleigh). She’ll have a great time watching a huge win.

Just landed in Turkey, a delay keeps me from the Caucasus mountains of Georgia until 7am tomorrow. I suppose it's possible for me to find a stream on my way to the airport here and catch a bit. Man bad timing for my vacay

Hopefully the broadcast will finally have Norris in sabre colors when they show the lineups tonight.

The Wood Man is celebrating life, even when the Sabres are in the Playoffs!  

Have fun.   Go Sabres!!

Alex Lyon has a net to himself this AM

Norris not on the ice for the AM Skate

I was looking at those seats on ticketmaster yesterday and though about how cool it would be to sit there.

Huh.

He hasn't looked dangerous of late.

Cool.

Hoping they don't put Östlund in this game.  Play him in game 4 if this one goes sideways (but it won't) or better yet play him in game 5 when Ruff can control the matchups.

Weather the initial storm from the B's playing at home and then wear them down.  Cut out the breakaways against and they'll be fine.

Any word on if it's just giving Norris some rest this AM and he'll be in the lineup or if this is what they're running with?

No word yet. 

[Taro T]

And am good with putting Kozak in for Dunne.  Sturm is going to be looking to get the Pastrnak line out against the 4th line.  Like the idea of having a 2nd guy with decent wheels on that line.

Hopefully it's gamesmanship on Ruff's part and not an injury that'll keep him out for a round or 2.

I thought Norris had his brain scrambled in game 1. He looked shaky getting up but stayed out there and kept taking shifts. I was surprised he didn’t get flagged by a concussion spotter. He didn’t look right.

That Östlund is on the ice but Norris is not on the ice is cause for thinking that the coaches might have finally woken up, somewhat, although I'm not sure about the decision to have Kozak replacing Dunne on the 4th line.

He was working his jaw, which of course would not rule out concussion.

Bruins 5-1 

Geekie has all 5 goals and they're all  scored from behind Bostons goal line

Lyon gets pulled for UPL, he gets pulled for Ellis, then Ellis gets pulled for Lyon
