GDT: Bruins @ Sabres, 6:00 pm EDT

[Fezzy126]

The first and fourth lines just dominated the B's all night. Also, Ruff is running out of places to hide Quinn.

I honestly believe they will get in next year. So no, I don't think Boston will before us.

Eek. EEEEeeeek.

Zadorov-Joki had nice #'s for like 3 games, pretty much a disaster since.

Joki has 2 10-game losing streaks with different teams this year. I don't know if anyone else has ever done that.

 

[Ehran]

Boston Do they make the playoffs before we do?

Two years ago it felt impossible that Montreal would. So two years later….place your bets.

Yes. It doesn't take THAT much to make the playoffs in the NHL. Hell, 50% of the teams make it EVERY year.

It takes f***ing SKILL to miss for 14 straight years.

Tage gonna finish this season with 15 goals in 15 games.

He may do even better than that. He has 9 G in last 7 gms, 15 G in last 18 gms. But (4) of the last (6) Sabres games are against teams with <3 GA/game.

Is that Auston M.? I assume he lost a bet after the Bruins eliminated the Leafs during a prior playoff season?

Re: Jokiharju
Any truth to the rumor the Sabres PR / merchandising staff planned some form of Joker-related free giveaway, and Adams canceled it on the grounds it would be redundant?

Let me ask everyone the question no one wants to think about.

Boston has lost 11 of the last 12 or something…they’re starting a rebuild no matter what at this point…half that team is AHL level. Do they make the playoffs before we do?

Two years ago it felt impossible that Montreal would. So two years later….place your bets.

Depends on their off-season. Suppose they sign Marner, re-sign Marchand and get a new coach (maybe Coach Q?). Plus they get McAvoy and Lindholm back. And they probably pick in the top 3 in this year's draft. They could easily be in the playoffs next year if they have a big offseason. Or, they could suck next year if they have a bad offseason. They have a much better chance of landing a big FA than we do though.

I’m having fun watching this team winning games. Blah blah heroic late season run blah blah. Fact is there’s not much difference between like pick 3-10ish anyway. We have fun watching late season games and still end up with Desnoyers? Sign me up. Or we trade the pick + for EP40 haha.

Anyway. Zach Benson RULES. He’s taking a leap.

Kicking someone when there down is not a particularly good look. Especially for fans of this franchise.

 

[tfor23]

Man, Sabres are 7th in league in goalscoring...if only D and goalies played better...

Completely agree

OOOOF

reminds me of 2007-2008 when despite losing Briere and Drury, we were 4th in scoring, yet Miller had his worst year as a starter and we managed to miss

UP-Dell was far worse this year

The kid obviously hasn't had a good season, but the line he played 3/4 of his minutes with last night looks like it did just fine

I can only assume you didn't watch the game because Zucker played like he was possessed last night, he was a one man wrecking crew.

Quinn was a serious passenger on that line and the individual metrics bear that out:

 

[joshjull]

Did we just need to get rid of Cozens and Joker? What other dead weight can we jettison?

We just had to get to games that don’t matter. Then watch them “rise” to the non-occasion.

 

[Willgamesh]

Benny is such a troll. He's going to be pissing off opposing players for a long time, really nice seeing him play with better line mates.

 

[TageGod]

Hoping Benson can take an offensive jump and clean up his penalties next year.

Samulesson/Quinn

 

[Der Jaeger]

What did Benson say?

 

[Zman5778]

I swear half of the penalties called against Benny in his career haven't been real penalties. There isn't a ton he needs to clean up......refs need to get better glasses.

[Ace]

But he didn’t do it the way I want him to or something
