GDT: Buffalo Sabres @ Carolina Hurricanes, 7 pm ET, 27 February 2025, TV FDSNSO, MSG-B, FDSNSO, Radio WGR AM 55

We beat 'em last month.  Gotta beat 'em again.  Because reasons.

Doohickie's hot players are Zucker and Power.  If either one of them score, I'll have bragging rights.

[CallawaySabres]

I might actually believe that there is more than a 1% chance to make playoffs if they win tonight. A stretch of easier games after tonight.

What is FDSNDO ?

Big game tonight. If they can beat Carolina and keep the momentum going, I will be very impressed! Then maybe, just maybe, Ill stop giving away my seasons and consider going to a game again!!!

Easier games? 

After all these seasons, no matter the record of our opponents, I've never uttered the word easier games.

These Buffalo sabres are capable of crashing and burning to Chicago, Montreal and the ilk. 

Let's best Carolina, and then hit a 10-12 game winning streak... Only then will I be able to get fully invested again. 

I'm happy they have won a few, I've even popped fubo on in the background for them recently, but we've seen this song and dance before.

Easier games?

It depends on how long you consider a 'stretch'. 

I view it the other way...the next 2 weeks are pretty rough.  After tonight, 7 games in the next 2 weeks (not a lot of time off) including Edmonton, Tampa, Detroit (who has one 8 of their last 10), Florida (and Vegas if you want to look out one game past the next 2 weeks).

I do not think they have easier games upcoming.

Montreal has faded a bit, but they have a lot of games with a lot of tough teams coming up right after that.

Fan Duel Sports Net.... something something.  It's the Hurricanes' local coverage.

It is the former Bally Sports Network.

I would think every opposing team in that stretch see the Sabres on their schedule and say 'There's an easy game. We will win that one'.

No games are easy for these Sabres

Sabres haven't won in Carolina since 2016. Woof.
