Even though we’d probably have to win out to make the playoffs I’d still like to win in regulation to prevent the earth from having to watch the islanders in the playoffs
Listen, I’m not going to say we’re going to lose, but its a back to back, 5PM, ESPN+ game against a team that clogs the neutral zone with zero forecheck. This is like hell for the Sabres.
Start Levi cowards
Play Levi
Is Tage playing today? Any update?
Where all my NYC friends at? Excited for our second blacked out game in a row??
What I’d love more than a win, is a game where we play defense. I’d love to give up less than 3 goals more than once a month. It’d be cool.
An away game against a large market team on espn, I think I’m going to skip watching this one.
Guys this sucks, every game that I haven’t watched they have won. Should I just stop watching for the Sabres to win the cup? It would suck but I would do it.
Is the Rooster playing today
If winning today’s game would give us hope in the playoff race, we would have to consider even more carefully when to debut Levi.
Away game we should lose.
8-3 win.
I would have liked to see Comrie today. Apart from that last disaster start he was playing decent.
