I think they get mauled and everyone should get a good nights sleep. Is Doan still hurt?

Arizona likes stealing from Buffalo. Took our basketball coach now they want to take our pick. Used to like Arizona.

I don't trust Arizona to win either of their games. But Buffalo? Chances of them losing are pretty damn high.
Let's take a look at their games for the last month and who they have played.

I just can't see them pulling off points in both games.

- Their record in these last 17 games is 4-10-3.
- The Bruins game is the only abberation, beating a 14th place team who was 7-2-1 in their previous 10 games.
- The other 3 wins came against the 29th, 27th, then 26th placed teams who were respectively 2-7-1, 3-7-0 and 3-4-3 in their previous 10

They played a lot of those teams close and I think that's what has people worried. Their style of play the last 30 games or so is very annoying for teams and it's hard for teams to pull away. They score the first goal in a lot of games now and the few teams that have run up the score on them early often get far too cute and Buffalo locks it down in the 2nd period on. They're just an annoying team to watch, to root for, to want to lose. I really just hate this team and their style of play.
They've also been a pretty good team at getting games to OT all season. Maybe not as much recently with all of those dank ROWs they've been picking up but outside of their 14 game losing streak they were getting games to OT about every 5 attempts.

If both the Sabres and the Yotes are awarded McEichel (what SHOULD happen in a perfect universe), I'll root for Arizona in the west. They'll be a fun team to watch in the future with McEichel, Domi, Duclair, OEL, etc.

Out with the old...
Who do we want winning/losing tonight(besides Arizona) that will keep our opponents hungry and arizona's opponents checking out?
