Around the NHL: PTO Season Becomes Waiver Season

[Dubi Doo]

I know some have mentioned Florida being a scary team, and I agree that they have a talented roster, but their goaltending is bad and their coaching is suspect. Not a good combo.

Boston puts three past Varlamov in the first.

Penguins up 1-0 on NJ.

I am one of those and am willing to say, seeing them get absolutely pumped by the predators eases my mind a bit.

NJ scores, up 2-1 on pitts. With florida having already lost, NYI clearly going to lose, and washington going against carolina, it could be a really good night for us.

As long as the Sabres do their part!

This. Florida has lost, the Islanders are toast, Pittsburgh's trailing, and the Caps and Wings are both underdogs in their games later. I won't call tonight's game a must-win because it isn't, but if all 5 of their closest competitors all lose and the Sabres don't make up any ground whatsoever...good god would that be a nut punch.

This Dustin Tokarski in the PIT/NJ game looks familiar

 

[old kummelweck]

Devils up 3-1.

 

[BUCKSHOT]

This Dustin Tokarski in the PIT/NJ game looks familiar

Dustin still helping the Sabres, 4-1 Devils

He has made a few crazy saves though

 

[Mattilaus]

I never thought I would be a NJD fan but here we are.

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

Getting a lot of help around the league tonight. Hope the Devils can hold on because I swear to god I will rage if the Pens somehow go to OT

2 minutes to go and NJD just scored an empty netter, 5-2

 

[old kummelweck]

WAS/CAR up next at 8. Sabres better not shit themselves.

 

[The Blunder Years]

Omg things are actually going our way around the league today. And a western conference team beat a team we’re trying to catch! We need to capitalize!!

 

[old kummelweck]

1-0 'canes.

 

[old kummelweck]

2-0 'canes. noice.

 

[Chainshot]

Staal looked like he was bleeding there.

 

[old kummelweck]

3-0 good guys. If the Sabres squander this, I'm done.

 

[Chainshot]

Remember when Lars Eller was good? Me too.

 

[Chainshot]

Carolina running some Globetrotters stuff on the Caps now.

Carolina up 4-0 over Washington. Everything going our way tonight.

Think of it this way. If we DO lose tonight, nothing changes.


....but lets win

There’s half a dozen teams that could have bought that 4th. Do they all need excuses or do you realize not all of them could’ve involved in the deal?

Hurray, another excuse for dig-another-well Pegula. I would love to be wrong, but this guy has been in don't spend mode for a bit. We are $18 M below cap and playing Bryson or Clague all the time; These are the guys that can't be blocked. Deadline is long way to go but Sabres have ways to improve without giving up major prospects. My prediction is they won't.
