[Der Jaeger]

Lose and Buffalo locks in 4th place prior to the lottery.

Win, and they are 5th. Could be 6th if the Rangers lose as well.

Edit: I'll see you in the GBU. Not a GDT type.

 

[Moncton man]

Can finally use this after today:

 

[kirby11]

Please let this be Housley's last game as the Sabres' head coach

 

[CatsforReinhart]

Rest Eichel

 

[Dirty Dog]

Ah sweet sweet mercy at last

 

[Moncton man]

Rest Eichel

So Phil can finally give Sobotka those top line minutes he's worked so hard for all year, right?

 

[Gabrielor]

Haven't rooted for a single loss all year, but it would be more advantageous to drop this one.

The Sobotka hat trick

 

[Team Cozens]

Would live to lose this game but Detroit’s roster is horrible. Can’t believe they aren’t in last place.

 

[Chainshot]

Haven't rooted for a single loss all year, but it would be more advantageous to drop this one.

I can't root for them to lose. Yet, if they get their usual goaltending and 2ndary scoring, the dream of 3OA (unadjusted) remains alive.

 

[Gabrielor]

At this point, I just want to stay in the top 7.

Still some great stuff at 8 and 9, but top 7 would give us our pick of the bunch

 

[Onry]

Thank you, 26CornerBlitz, for your dedicated work this season in creating these threads.

 

[Dreakon13]

I'll be watching. I've been pretty tuned out the last month or two, but as frustrating as this season was I gotta be there for the conclusion of it all. Don't really care if they win or lose, just go out putting forth some effort and not looking terrible please.

 

[Tatanka]

Want a Jack Trick, would like to see him break 30.

[Endless Ike]

Well we haven’t won two in a row in 6 months so I think we should be in pretty good shape to drop this one and clinch the 4th pick.

 

[Paxon]

Can't they do no better than 4OA pre-lotto?

 

[GellMann]

I will watch and cheer for goals, but with Thursday being as good a way to end this season as there could be, for how badly it went, in the end it's worth giving Detroit fans that same feeling we had two nights ago.

 

[joshjull]

Can't they do no better than 4OA pre-lotto?

Yep. New Jersey in the pre lottery 3rd OA spot is 4pts behind us with only 1 game left.

I believe 4th thru 6th are the options for us at this point pre lottery.

Dahlin - Ristolainen

 

[Zip15]

Just lose, baby!

 

[Willgamesh]

Dahlin - Ristolainen

Its because of phils CTE same reason he thinks sobo was worth playing.

 

[Dingo44]

I'll be at this game. I have to root for my Sabres!
