Derrico Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 Looking forward to seeing the new guy! 1 Quote
CallawaySabres Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 Not being over dramatic but if they lose tonight, i truly feel playoffs are shot once and for all. Can they save the season? Dropping 8 points out of 8th would be the nail in the coffin. I hope they can survive into the weekend.... Quote
OverPowerYou Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 That's a solid defensive lineup we have there. 2 Quote
Pimlach Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 They need to shake off the Toronto game and win against a tough team in a tough place to play. This game will tell us a lot about this team. Quote

This game will tell us a lot about this team. With all due respect to the Flyers, they aren't nearly as good as the Leafs. If (and I know that's a big IF) the Sabres come out and play like they did last night, they could destroy the Flyers, which would be good since Philly is one point behind us in the standings. Quote

How many games have they played down to their opponents level? The Flyers may not be good but they are tough, they are at home, and they wont be easy to beat. Quote
Doohicksie Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 ...thus the big IF. I think they will win tonight, and handily. They are coming off a tough loss and will be angry. They'll be slightly buoyed by the addition of Montour, and I predict they will, in fact, come out hard and fast like they played last night. Against Toronto that merely kept them in the game. Against Philadelphia, it will crush them. Sabres win 6-2. 1 Quote
LGR4GM Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 You lose and this is all over. These team has reached the edge, you either start stringing wins together and start tonight or you buy new clubs. Must. Win. 1 Quote
steveoath Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 Must win! My mate's a flyers fan and is mourning over the loss of Simmonds. We need to win so I have bragging rights!! 1 Quote

I think they beat Toronto on Saturday (mostly because I will be there)and Pitt at home on Friday will be a doozy. Now or never boys, now or never.... Quote

MattPie Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 This needs to be the first of around 8 straight wins to get back to playoff pace. Let's do this! Quote
Mustache of God Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 Yeah...our playoff chances evaporated when we dropped 3 in a row to the Panther, Rangers and Devils. At this point all I care about is Dahlin tightening up defensively while racking up points (6 more to be 2nd in scoring as an 18 year old defense man). Anyways, go Sabres. Quote

CallawaySabres Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 Montreal and Carolina will both win tonight so even 1 point tonight will do nothing. A win will most likely keep them 6 back still sooooooo......figure it out! Quote

Samson's Flow Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 Where did that projected lineup come from? If true, it will be interesting to see the new Montour with Dahlin. Hoping they can establish quick chemistry and stabilize the defensive pairings. Quote

Will update it if need be, but I wanted to put something in there and it’s what I found. Hoping 26-62 are together so that’s why I picked that over some others. Nothing from Buffalo sites when I looked this morning v Quote
LGR4GM Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 I would guess Hunwick will be out and Montour will lineup next to scandy on the 3rd pair tonight. Help ease him into our system. 1 Quote
