After 2 pretty solid efforts against the Bs and Penguins, we lose this one.

Especially because it is so winnable.

That's just how this team rolls.

I'm hoping this is the start of a turn around, all these teams are beatable and we should do just that.

7-3 win for Sabres. Us Jets are beyond terrible at this point. I bet Vanek is excited to see the Jets rolling into town so that he can pad his stats. I expect a thorough crushing by the Sabres... have mercy :help:

Please Understand
Race for the bottom, gents. Our collective optimism is pretty low right now for both of our teams. Our team sucks, and your team sucks. Let's just hope that neither team embarrasses itself.

I think both fanbases are praying this one goes to a shootout so we can watch guys fall down without getting a shot off

I just hope we don't see a letdown in effort after two solid outings. I'll say 4-2 Sabres.

Look on the bright side, even if we lose it just means that would put us in top 5 drafting position if the draft were tonight!
