QCity Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Any one of Franson, Gorges, or Bogo can sit in favor of Falk tomorrow. Especially Gorges in a back to back scenario. Doubt Bylsma has the stones. I agree. Falk has been playing well in his own end lately. Gorges is just sad. Fedun got waived, which surprised me. I doubt he clears.

I doubt he clears. Fedun is the one who was waived because the team has to get ready for the expansion draft. @BuffaloSabres 3 Stars of the Game @LosiandGangi
4merper4mer Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Neck tattoo is certainly playing better and is showing consistency.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 DTV offering their "half season" discount now, FYI. $45.98 for the rest of the season. I called and the first girl I spoke with gave me 15 dollars off. Didn't even have to ask. Booyah!!
eball Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Would be great if they can get at least a point today vs. Chicago...not out of this at all. Obviously they're not a true Cup contender yet but snagging even an 8 seed after what we've been through the last several years would be so huge.

Good news is Chicago played a tough 7 pm game last night then had to travel. Never easy to beat the Blackhawks, but they should be a tired bunch.
zevo Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 It has begun to get interesting......that's all I ask is to be interested....this is the first time in a long while where I'm excited about the game tonight and will be scoreboard watching ....

snafu Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Would be great to get two - even if it comes in overtime, since Chicago isn't in the conference. This team hasn't shown an ability to sustain success. I'm hoping they play all out at home in their last game before their break. They didn't show up in the last game before the all-star break, maybe they learned a lesson in that. The next test will be to see how they come out of the break. Most teams have lost coming off their "bye week".

Alaska Darin Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 19-14-5 since Eichel's return to the lineup.

Most teams have lost coming off their "bye week". The record for teams coming out of the bye week is something like 3 wins out of 10 games. When you look at the standings there is such a large group of teams vying for the few remaining playoff spots. I would love to see the Sabres earn a spot because the fans really deserve it. But regardless if the team qualifies for it or not playing meaningful games with a sense of desperation as the season is exciting to follow.
snafu Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 19-14-5 since Eichel's return to the lineup. 3-0-0 since Lehner called them out.
JohnC Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 3-0-0 since Lehner called them out. Don't forget Kane's contribution to the mini-surge. PlezMd1 needs to be reminded.
26CornerBlitz Posted February 19, 2017 Author Posted February 19, 2017 @FriedgeHNIC Fedun clears @BuffNewsVogl Meanwhile, it takes a hot goalie to keep the opponent's points down. @ByMHarrington has Lehner's numbers. https://t.co/y8WKgF9Wzh

We may need him down the stretch if injuries crop up.
