They can pat themselves on the back for still being technically "in the hunt" for a playoff spot.

Hall is a passenger, not a driver.

9am and no GDT yet? You guys are slipping. This game is a free one on ESPN+.

But they have more ROW wins than we can get.

I thought ranking goes by points percentage, then wins? VAN and ANA have 41 points now. The Sabres can only get to 41, but can't get more wins, regulation or OT.

Ducks win tonight removes the only team they could have caught in the standings. They could tie points with ANA and VAN but would lose the tiebreaker.

Ducks win a shootout @ STL. That clinches last place for the Sabres.

Is it the Sabres job to monitor WGR for offensive content? Was that ad on the air or over their stream? (Different ads on stream.) If it is the stream, those ads are sold by Entercom/Audecy corporate. If you are disturbed enough about, notify WGR. No hypocrisy here.

That wasn't a "softie." That was a goal any competent shooter pots 99% of the time. Often times those "amazing saves" are when the shooter misses that wide open net and hits the goalie. Hauser really hasn't let in a bad goal yet. And that's how we should judge him. Don't get hung up on the number of goals allowed. Pay attention to how he's moving. Does Hauser actually make a save or does the shooter miss an opening and hit him? Is Hauser always in position or does he overplay the puck and put himself out of position, even if no goal is scored? So far he's doing it right.

Maybe that's why he wanted out of Buffalo? Not enough female fans on Twitter?

Unless he is. Right now who else is there? But seriously, in a real season other teams would figure out his weaknesses and exploit them. It's like those rare times when I used to fill in goal in an elite level beer league. I'd be fine until the third period when guys figured me out.

Hardly. They were outplaying the Sabres in both, but the Sabres took the game back in the third. 2 quality wins.

Mitts, Tage, Samson.

I like that you can hear the F-bombs by the players on the ice

I feel bad for anyone who can only listen to radio. You're missing half the action.

I want to know why the Sabres have been falling down all season. Did they sell the skate sharpeners?

Wow, can you tee it up any better?

Something up with RJ

Wasn't Gallant in the conversation a few coaching searches ago? Why didn't he come then?

Fun fact: The Sabres have played 20 games since the 18 games losing streak. Their records is 8-9-3.

I'd take Gallant. I'd take Julien. But those guys would have to want to come here. I've never heard a word to that effect. I'd keep Granato over Torts or Boudreau . I'd probably take Granato over whatever college guy they're talking about too.

It's the circle of life

Now let's see if the Isles come back angry tonight, and if the Sabres respond.
