GDT: 2026 1st Round Game 5 -- Bruins @ Sabres 4/28/2026, 7:30 pm ET, MSG-B, TNT/Tru, HBO Max, NESN

[#freejame]

Your Buffalo Sabres are at home for game 5 with a chance to move on to the second round with a win. We're 2-0 when I wear my Foligno jersey, so you already know what's on. Get down there early and make some noise for the Blade Gang. It should be the nicest weather out of any of the home games yet. 

I'll be there with my dad in the 300s. I'll take a win any way I can get, but here's hoping we close out the series in a big way! 

Go Sabres!

[spndnchz]

Let’s GO !!!!

Headed downtown. 

[LGR4GM]

Just find a way to win. 

[Derrico]

Let’s Goooooooooo!!!!

[Doohickie]

Don't give them any life.  Eliminate them now.

[French Collection]

I hear a lot of the 4th win is the hardest talk. It could be but if they play their game they are better and will prevail. Close this out ASAP and rest for the next series.

As I said last GDT, skate and skate some more. The Sabres are much faster than the Bruins and they know they can hang with them in the grit department.

They will get a PP goal this time.

Let’s go Buffalo!

[Jävə Keith]

I'll be there with my wife hoping to witness history.  I'm wearing my Rick Jeanneret jersey sitting second row, section 322 if any SabreSpacer is around and wants to say hi and toast a blue light out of my beer sabre.  Got my full week of growing a playoff beard as I bond with our team on this amazing journey.

These next 12 hours of waiting for the puck to drop will be hard.  

Let's GO Buff-a-lo!!!
Clap!Clap!... Clap!Clap!Clap!

I’m expecting the Bruins to play desperate and outside the lines of acceptability, even more so than last game’s shenanigans.  Sabres need to keep their heads up, focus on the task at hand and end these ***** season. 

[Carmel Corn]

Score the first goal….make Boston play from behind.  Maybe surprise us with a PP goal while you’re at it.

[JohnC]

It would be wonderful to have a hometown crowd witness a series win and then watch the teams line up for the concluding handshake 🤝. A unique hockey 🥅 tradition.

[LETSTUCHINGO]

Start strong, finish strong and curb stomp the Boston Bums!

[Spoonman]

 

Dhals says hi 👋 to Zacha in warmups….

 

[Stads]

[North Buffalo]

Handshake game...  let's Go Sabres

[CallawaySabres]

Here we go again, oh boy!

 

[SabresBaltimore]

I expect Boston to come out of the gates motivated, if we can get a goal or two first, that may break their spirit. I really hope to close this one out tonight to let guys recuperate a bit before round 2.

Already? Pace yourself. Your liver will thank you later

[Punch]

I opted to wear my Sabres Starter windbreaker to work today in addition to my Sabres Shoes (royal blue/collegiate yellow Adidas Sambas). It's Casual Tuesday but I expect the boys to put in the work, ladies and gentlemen, Let's Go Buffalo!

[Mustache of God]

MUST WIN CLINCH! 

[That Aud Smell]

I expect this to be a very difficult game for the Sabres to win.

I also expect this team to be up to the challenge.

A power play goal - possibly 2?! - helps them scratch out a gutsy 4-2 win.

Wind breaker and Adidas shoes to work?   What is casual Tuesday?

A smart suit and matching Fedora is always in style.  You must look like guy in charge.  
 

[nfreeman]

There’s nothing like the playoffs.  

[Mustache of God]

The Pens went into game 5 facing elimination last night and got their GWG off of an absolute fluke goal. Hoping we don't see any of that nonsense tonight. 

Score early, score often, and let's put these Bs in the rearview mirror.
