I think with all the questions/conversations regarding the players quitting on Granato, thier efforts these games leading into the new year will show how they truly feel about him. I don't expect wins against the Leafs, Rangers and Bruins, but I expect effort, unless the want him fired. 

Find it nearly impossible to believe a team would sabotage their coach to try to hasten a firing… but get your point, @Hank…

If the Sabres finish the year flat with less than honest effort, will not be good… for players or coaches… We shall see.

Outstanding!

[PerreaultForever]

As much as I am down on this team I actually think they can and maybe even will win this game. They bottomed out last game so they could do the we got yelled at response game and the Leafs play a style they like to play and match up well with. Both teams are soft and like to float. Unless the goaltending sucks badly (like it has at times) they can definitely win this game.

and I almost forgot, I just hate the Leafs. 

[That Aud Smell]

If past is prelude, the Sabres will put up 45 SOG tonight and pot 5 goals en route to a stirring victory.

[SwampD]

I've decided to go into every game expecting a 9-4 type shellacking. If we get it, oh, well. if they decide to play, then I win twice.

Well on their way to another garbage time improvement, I suppose?

It wouldn't surprise me. They have generally played well against the Loafs.

I just want an entertaining game at this point.  My expectations of playoffs are gone.  Can we just have as little fun watching the team downtown once in awhile?  Just acting like they care will be a huge improvement.

That does seem to be the trend for the last 10 years.  Is it sad that I would still sign up for that?  ***** being 3 draft slots higher.  Play like you care.  I love the Sabres and so sick of booing them / looking forward to non-game nights knowing they can’t disappoint and piss me off.

A Cup, or at least a thumbs up.  

[OverPowerYou]

Given the state of the franchise and their record, I’m still somehow excited about this one. The games against the leafs are always fun and are full of energy. Now that I’m looking forward to this one expect another bad loss

one of my favorite Bills Teams ever was this one. 

Fergy got hurt in the San Diego Playoff game, what could have been.

He was hurt in the game before and gutted out the San Diego game.  If he is even remotely functional, the Bills win that game.
