@PaulCook_24 @FriedgeHNIC By cross checking him in the neck. Got it.

@Chainshot13 @FriedgeHNIC It’s called erasing a man from the puck

Angered by a Benson slew foot, Charlie McAvoy slashed the Sabre forward -- receiving a major and a game misconduct

@ChrisAn41996507 @FriedgeHNIC Or his slewfoot on Thompson earlier in the series. McAvoy reaped what he sowed.

@FriedgeHNIC Watch what McAvoy did to Dahlin right before this play and McAvoy's elbow to Doan's head earlier in the third and you will understand why Benson slew footed him.

@MatthewFairburn DOPS dopes.

The NHL's department of player safety announced Nikita Zadorov has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for cross-checking Rasmus Dahlin. No suspension.

@AJallen1983 @CMDeDominicis Yes

@CMDeDominicis Would the playoffs count towards burning Helenius ELC year ?

Tough season for the Amerks. I’d expect a black aces squad to be up in Buffalo in the next few days.

@Keeshan26284093 @SuperstarTimmy @BR_OpenIce

@SuperstarTimmy @BR_OpenIce Oh I will flip burgers alright because I can't watch the Leafs in the playoffs. I feel like the Leafs deserve to be in the playoffs over the Sens.

HERE. WE. GO. THE STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS HAVE ARRIVED 🔥🔥🔥

What can I say, everyone needs an outlet. 🤷

THE ATLANTIC IS OURS ⚔️ See you on home ice, sabrehood! #LetsGoBuffalo | bufsabres.co/3Q3hrTb

@ChumLine Kesselring is RFA.

@Sxchamps @LGA585 They signed two draft picks in McCarthy and Strbak, got another whose junior season is over. That's not trading for them, that's people graduating from amateur programs.

@Chainshot13 @LGA585 added 5 D-men in trades. what fwrd depth does the organization have?

Sabres and Amerks have 20 Dmen on their rosters Byram Dahlin Kesselring Metsa Power Samuelsson Schenn Stanley Timmins McCarthy Rathbone Bayreuther Strbak Johnson Fulp Laaouan Jonesy Mrtka Belliveau Komarov

@Sxchamps @LGA585 How so? The big club usually has to dress 9 or 10 defensemen every year. This year with Jones and Johnson included they dressed 11. They've added five in the last month with the trades and signings. Don't get how this is an issue.

@LGA585 terrible roster management.

@CMDeDominicis Are they trying to set Metsa up to fail that hard to justify playing others above him?

I’m a little surprised the Sabres are going to play Metsa tonight (based on morning skate reports) after he played 3 games in 3 days for the Amerks over the weekend. They’re getting a tired team and dressing a defensemen that will be playing his 4th in 5 nights. Seemed like a logical spot to get Kesselring back in but idk I guess he’s just not going to play again until they’re clinched.

@imralanyrx I'm just happy he's getting a chance somewhere. Granted, it also sucks that an option to push someone into the lineup on a value contract next year is gone.

I still find it baffling that they couldn’t find a spot for Isak Rosen in the lineup considering they’ve almost never been healthy on F this entire season.

@Geofggg @DomTibbettsTV Yes, because someone trying to Bertuzzi him from behind is what every player should be worried about. 🤡

@DomTibbettsTV Gonna end up hurt if he doesn’t watch his back with those chicken 💩 cross checks

“It’s just finally. Finally we’re here and doing good things so I don’t take this for granted at all. I’m so fired up, I’m so happy for the Buffalo the city and all the fans.” Asked Rasmus Dahlin after the game how gratifying it feels to finally be playing in meaningful hockey games late in the season with this organization #Sabres

@Tony_Wags Carrick plays over Kozak and Dunne. I don't know if Danforth will be back with them saying it's still pain issues for him earlier this week.

If the Sabres trade for Carrick and assuming they don’t trade Dunne, Kozak or Danforth if and when he comes back. Who plays?

@SneakyJoeSports One of the loudest moments I've ever experienced at a sports event, at least initially.

Imagining some of the Sabres players on the bench tonight looking up at the scoreboard and seeing this highlight for the first time in their lives.

@ntrider825 @CHurls13 @JeremyWGR @SneakyJoeSports @WGR550 But a 34-year old Panarin for FIVE years at more AAV is okay?

Here's the Artemi Panarin/Sabres smoke from @JeremyWGR and @SneakyJoeSports this AM. I for one, would be elated to have the Bread Man on the Sabres, provided he's willing to extend. Jarmogeddon is trying to break this drought. Go for it. IG - @WGR550 // instagram.com/p/DTQRprojK1a/

@CHurls13 @ntrider825 @JeremyWGR @SneakyJoeSports @WGR550 Ewww.

@ntrider825 @JeremyWGR @SneakyJoeSports @WGR550 I'd rather have Panarin at 5 x 11.5 than Tuch at 8 x 10.5, that's for sure

@LGA585 It's a fun atmosphere, especially behind the away goal for periods 1 and 3.

Jax loves their hockey.

@LGA585 They won't ever be 100% healthy.

Monday exercise for Amerks and Sabres fans. When (AND IF) the Sabres are 100% healthy they would need to trim their roster from 29 to 23 now that Metsa is up. Assuming they continue to carry three goalies, that’s 6 position players. Who are going to be the 6 sent to Amerks?
