why bother?
It’s like watching a car crash at this point
Sabres season practically over and NJ needs wins to make the playoffs.
Olofsson hattrick incoming
Rebound game. They will play fine. Levi will have .900 + save %. Sabres 3-2.
I couldn’t be more excited for a season to be over than this one.
boooooooooooooo
HUUUUGE GAME TONIGHT!
11th place up for grabs!
We still doing this?
Its like getting hit with a taser. Hurts like hell but for some reason you kinda want to try it again.
Looks like we’re going to need 20 points in 9 games.
So if anyone has any points laying around and wants to donate them, please go ahead and drop them off at the Sabres Store in exchange for 20% off a hat of your choice.
Time to deploy the “play loose because there’s nothing to lose strategy” and see what happens. Obvious when there’s something on the line we implode so no stakes here.
Last night’s results bumped their playoff odds back over 1%. I think the biggest question now, is when will they officially be emiminated. Going to be tough to match last year obviously.
Pain. I expect more pain.
