So if he doesn't, do we get to say "told you so"

Sure, but they are going to make the playoffs, win the first two rounds and become a "team of destiny" and roll to a Cup win.

I will only say I told you so after Dahlin hosts the Cup in June. 

I plan on complaining if it isn’t a sweep.

Coffee poured. Accelerate to attack speed.

A 1pm start after a wrestling event last night. Is the ice going to suck?

He already confirmed no lineup changes and UPL is in net.

Exactly the info I was looking for.

And if it wasn't clear what a hopeless Sabres optimist I am...I just started UPL today in fantasy over Jake Oettinger (although to be fair, Dallas is in Winnipeg, which has won 13 of 14 to start the season).

Come on Sabres.  Give those fans a good show so they come back for more.

[LGR4GM]

Just for further lineup clarification

Nah, that was the two openers last month. Was at MSG Thursday, got a bus at 10:45 last night and got up here around 7:30. Bus back is booked for 8:45pm.

You deserve to get a Big W today.  
 

The Sabres should be excited to play at home today.

If we have learned anything about UPL it’s that he likes a lot of work and he needs to play to keep his game up.  
 

Long season, Levi will get his games soon enough.

I’m not even really sure what we saw last game.

It's called happiness, Swamp.

Harken back to your childhood.

Well here we go for another chance at a 3-game win streak.

No lineup changes is the Lindy Ruff coach I expected until someone else earns it or someone else doesn't play up to the standard, which is as it should be. 

LFG go Buffalo, keep the home fires burning and win the fans back.

Hardcore adulting accomplished! Did you know clothes washing machines have filters that need cleaning because they fill up with garbage, lint, twigs, and those little makeup remover pads that your wife/husband... dogs, I guess, use?

Knowing is half the battle.

The other half being the execution of said hardcore adulting.

I will be interested to see their performance when they slot back in. I am still not a fan of Bryson other than as a short term fill in.

This scratching period should light a fire under Mule. He is a laid back guy but he must play with a higher sense of urgency and bring more edge.

I generally like Mule. But I hope Lindy keeps Mule in the press box until it’s painful for him to be there. Then keep him there a couple more games. If Mule doesn’t come out of it being what the Sabres need him to be then moving him shouldn’t be out of the question.

[ExWNYer]

Let's build off that Rags win and go on an extended run here. Get it boys.

If Lindy can get Samuelsson to get to play the right way, it'll almost be a game changing effect for the team. Lindy knows this.

100% 

Gilbert has played well and earned the right to keep that spot. Sammy should not just be handed out after a couple of games. 

[Pimlach]

Good afternoon Teammates,

 

Let’s keep it rolling Sabres.  60 minutes of high effort will get it done.  
 

MUSCLE WEIGHT

Wait until you learn about the dishwasher filter that you didn’t know existed.

[Believer]

Bravo, young lady!

Bravo!

BENSON

[steveoath]

Benito!!!!!

[ExWNYer]

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[Cheektorado]

WOW.

[Pimlach]

Benson deserved that.  He kept it deep in the Flames zone twice.  
 

Bryson with a smart and quick shot to net.  Smart hockey.  

[PromoTheRobot]

That entire sequence was all Benson. He caused the turnover that lead to that goal.

[Believer]

Boom!

Benson at the net
