Tage and Skinner are number 1 and 2 in the league in points per 60 minutes. Need them to lead from the front tonight, this is the biggest game the team has had in years. If last night is any indication, it should be a fun one
So it’s come to this…
Tbf this is all I wanted: a game this late it the season to have the weight that this one may have
This is the biggest game we have had since the tank game vs the coyotes. I’m glad I can cheer for us to win this one.
Is Samuelsson back in? Could have used him last night
Will be in enemy territory sporting my buffaslug jersey. Thankful I get to witness a meaningful game like this in person haha
Don’t let Bjork’s effort last night be in vain.
Must win game.
I hope that we score more points than the other team.
Massive game today! Was there last year when Buffalo visited UBS and will be there again tonight. Crazy the position we are in a year later with such a meaningful game.
Can’t wait to watch this game angrily as the islanders play boring ass hockey, while sorokin stands on his head. That being said the boys are gonna beat them tonight
