We continue to look good.

Sabres 4 | Blue Jackets 2

Hoping for Ullmark. Then come back with Hutton for a pair and Ullmark for the afternoon game against Ottawa. Would be nice to get a more even rotation going.

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

It feels good to actually be excited to watch the Sabres play.

Last game I get to watch before leaving for my honeymoon tomorrow; please make it a good one and send me off with a 4 game win streak!

4-2 Jackets...

 

[Mr Orangeshirt]

4-2 Jackets...

Congrats on the wedding!

 

[Sansbacon]

Congrats on the wedding!

Thank you! It was 2 months ago, but never too late to take the vacation. I’ll likely miss the next 4 games due to time zone differences but hopefully they keep on rolling.

Feels weird to be bummed about missing a few games again...

Just went trough the same thing. Missed the kings and sharks games on mine. Have fun my friend!

 

[Goathead]

Gonna miss this one tonight because of a wedding.

 

[Gabrielor]

We get their backup.

 

[DazedandConfused]

Yea, probably miss this one. It's a shame cause they're starting to become entertaining for the right reasons now.

 

[Reddawg]

We get their backup.

Hutton’s going to be key in this one, Korpisalo is 3-0 but his stats are sievelike. Definitely beatable if the defense shows up and Hutton stands tall.

 

[Tsyolin]

I'll be honest, this game scares me, maybe the most of any game so far. Mostly because I know this game is winnable but damn the Blue Jackets are dangerous.

 

[Ness]

Torn between being excited for the Sabres right now and trying not to fly to close to the sun.

Congrats, hopefully you have a long marriage streak!

Nice! Congrats as well, and thanks. I’m pretty sure I’ll survive. 2 years ago at this exact same time I was in Peru, and well, it wasn’t as upsetting to be missing those games.

Has anyone heard who’s playing in goal tonight? Hoping for Ullmark tonight after Hutton had a few shaky moments in the last game.

 

[Sansbacon]

Congrats, hopefully you have a long marriage streak!

A lot is riding on tonight’s game

If it doesn’t work out then “goddamnit, Phil!”

Don't get hit by one of the people this board launched up there!

Ullmark in goal

 

[Dahlin 2 Eichel]

Let’s go boys!!!! Continue the good play!! Go sabres go!!

 

[threeVo]

If Reinhart scores again just like that he’s closer to a 20G pace
