Damn I was hoping Tage going for 50 would give the game some meaning. 

Farewell to Kyle? 

idk, I guess I will watch so that I can say I saw all 82. Hopefully something entertaining happens. 

Milestone watch:

Skinner and Tuch playing for 80 points.  Cozens 70.  Mittelstadt 60.  Olofsson 30 goals and 40 points.  Okposo 30 points.  Krebs 10 goals.  Hinostroza (if he gets in) 10 assists.  Clague 1 goal.

All need from 1 to 3 to reach those milestones.

Wonder what is wrong with Tage. He keeps falling down, like he loses he balance. Never saw that problem in his skating before. I assume Mule is down and they should probably sit Dahlin. Also please give a retirement ceremony to UPL/Comrie at the end of the game too.

His back is lit saw him him stretching on the boards during the ranger game unless its a quad or hamstring

Fair enough. Get VO 30 to increase his trade value.

They say a monkey will eventually type Romeo and Juliet if given enough time. I see the sun burning out before a monkey types that sentence.

Bummed to see this season coming to a close, but very excited for next season. Let's get one more W and surpass 90 points for the year.

Will be watching from work 🙂

You guys are into some weird shiite .. entertaining but weird

[Cheektorado]

Last game in what was a fun season.  I'm going to hope for a Kyle Okposo goal tonight!  As for the goalies, my hope would be Levi but if it is either UPL or Comrie I just wonder if that has any future meaning?  VO scoring wouldn't hurt and bringing home a win to get to 91 points would be nice.

Thank you everyone from the Pegula's on down for a good season and hopefully the start of a bright future!

Go Sabres.

It looked like he was having an issue with his right hand or wrist on the bench right before he got up and went to the locker room.

Anyone wanting to know Comrie’s and UPL’s futures in Buffalo there is your answer. It is the last game, a nothing game as far as importance and neither Comrie or UPL , who they didn’t trust down the stretch,  get thrown a bone with a start to end the year.

That means nothing. I’m expecting one of them playing with the Sabres next season

I expect one of them to be in Rochester and the sabres signing a 1A option like Raanta or Andersen.

[Sidc3000]

Last game. Don’t care about tonight or locker clean out. Enjoy all. Don’t worry @Spoonman  I’ll be around at times.

Cool for the Levi news.

As somebody else posted, this makes a statement about where Comrie and UPL fit into next season's plans.

Comrie played well his last two games, a shutty on the Island then a .927 sv% in an OTL vs Montreal...  then he hasn't seen the ice for well over 2 weeks.   Odd.

Disagree. Comrie and UPL weren’t trusted down the stretch when they needed wins. Then the final game, a nothing game and they don’t even hand it to one of them. It tells me they are ready to move on. There is no reason Levi has to play tonight. If one of them was going to be his partner next year you play that guy as a little reward for sitting on the sidelines while the season was on the line.

For whatever reason they don't seem comfortable in what Comrie brings.  Or, reading it the opposite way, maybe they believe the injuries he's battled through aren't quite healed (or maybe they were exacerbated in the Habs game) so they're shutting him down to have him healthy next season.

Don't know.  Either way, want to see Varlamov paired with Levi next year and hopefully one of the other 2 can be snuck into Ra-cha-cha.  Comrie probably has the better chance of getting through waivers.  (Provided Winnipeg isn't desperate for a backup.  They seem to have a love hate relationship with that kid.)

I’m assuming they promised the kid X number of games.

They surely did.  But did they really promise him 7 out of 9?  That seems a little excessive.
