Spoiler: Coming into the home stretch, the winner is the one circled in red In the world of sports more unlikely things that the Sabres making the playoffs have happened. Rich Strike was an 80:1 shot. The day before the race, he wasn't even in the field. He only raced because another horse was scratched.

I'm gonna go with Gordon Shumway.

Dear Buffalo Sabres: Watch Number 21 (starts from far left). WATCH HIM.

Normally, yes. The games stay up for a couple days I believe. But since it's an NHL Network game, not sure.

I didn't share this tweet in the main forum, but I thought about it:

Correct. It will be on MSG for the home fans.

You asking me? Logan Thompson, VGK goalie.

Yeah. Thompson had two go in off him (Okposo and Cozens). Skinner's goal from the high slot is usually saved; Power's goal from the point should have been saved. That's the first time this decade Girgs looked like a sniper. Two goals were legit: The first Cozens goal (clean breakaway) and the Mitts goal (pp with a screen). There have been games where the Sabres were unlucky on shots to the net. This was not one of them.

Random facts: Sabres had only one player with a minus rating (Zach Benson with a -1). Knights had only one player with a plus rating (Paul Cotter with a +1).

Sabres are now 12-3 with Bryson.

And here you said you had no reason to watch this game. I guess I was right: You watched it anyway.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know all that. Just keep winning. It will sort itself out or it won't.

No. ...and Stone and Carrier and... well the other guy I never heard of. But you take Tage and Cozens and Mitts off the Sabres and what are you left with?

I also think Tage has more confidence passing the puck to Greenway.

...and then they weren't. They played almost one decent period (end of first, beginning of second) but other than that the Sabres were clearly the better team.

UPL will play tomorrow. They have two off days until the Sabres play again on Wednesday. Donny's gonna ride the hot hand. If he has a rough start he'll get pulled.

Early on he got a cut on his foot in a game early in the season. He also had a wrist injury in the same game (vs. Bruins). The wrist injury got him out of the game but I have to wonder if the cut on his foot isn't fully healed.

I still think he's got bad wheels this year. I think with a good offseason he will be good to go next season.

But not DeLuca .500

Do you believe in miracles?
