GDT: Sabres @ Devils - April 11, 2023, 7pm, MSG 📺 WGR 📻

[LGR4GM]

Need an NYI loss and a Penguins loss. Need to win every game still. Good news is they don't have to travel after last night at msg.

 

[North Buffalo]

Throw us a bone Lindy  common you can do it

[WhenWillItEnd66]

Another freaking game i cannot watch! TY Xfinity and MSG!!!!!! *****.....

[WhenWillItEnd66]

I wish this game and the Rags game was reversed. Devils are stupid speedy and skilled. I think they are going to give the Sabres fits especially on the backside of a back to back. Wonder if Cozens is going to play tonight? Just leave it all on the table. Levi needs to start. Just Win!!!!

DO OR DIE

[triumph_communes]

Levi!  You’re a hero!

 

Hope the sleepers last night wake up today. Not going to win every game if they continue like that. 

[SabresBaltimore]

We're still in it. Hopefully Levi can go tonight and has enough gas to have another big showing.

 

I'd LOVE the Hawks to do a huge favor and beat Pittsburgh tonight too, but I'm not holding my breath. Then again I didn't think the Caps would beat the Aisles, so you never know!

 

Let's get after it!

[CallawaySabres]

I think our path is Florida losing to Canes and Sabes sweeping all 3

[Scottysabres]

2 points boys. That's what is on the table. Go out there and feast on them.

Go Sabres!

We would still need the Isles or Pens to drop at least 1 point for that work I think, but I agree.

Isles can still finish with 93 (and would beat us on tie breakers)

Pens can finish with 94. I think we could beat them with 93 if we win our remaining games in regulation and they don't win in regulation, but I'm not sure. Winning in a shoot-out last night was better than losing, but not winning in Regulation or Overtime last night is going to hurt us if it comes down to ties.

One game at a time. Just win!

I normally agree with rotating goalies on back to back games but go with Levi, he’s got his big boy pants on now.

[Randall Flagg]

If we win, Thursday's game is meaningful no matter what. I think.

[Mustache of God]

I'd personally like to see another W tonight.

This is correct. If we run the table we need 2 of the teams in front of us to lose a game in regulation (Cats and Isles have 1 game left, Pens have two but are playing glorified AHL teams).

The most important take away is we need to win tonight. Ideally in regulation, but I think after last night winning in regulation doesn't matter much anymore. We just need to finish more points than 2 of the 3 teams ahead of us.

Listening to Granato on WGR this morning, I get the impression the net is Levi’s if he wants it tonight 

[Mango]

I am actually in NYC today. Debating going to this one, but I really don't want to pay for a hotel....Ugh....

I don’t get the impression from Levi that he wouldn’t. Hopefully he’s in. 

[SabresBaltimore]

Yeah, if Granato leaves this up to Levi, Levi is playing tonight.

He said basically the same thing in his postgame presser... with some weasel words (mentioned fatigue, etc.)

Weasel words?
