Buffalo Sabres Playoffs

@DavidWalsh888 @Matt_Bove Ehhh... Would you rather play Ottawa than Boston?

@Matt_Bove I'd also root for Carolina to lose, that is still on the table.

Only two teams not playing today. Sabres are one of them. Pretty simple if you’re a Sabres fan. Root for Boston to beat Tampa Bay and Columbus to beat Montreal.

@SneakyJoeSports If we still had Girgensons, we could have the "Zem-boni"

Presenting the Slugboni

@Killerdg93 @DarrowJeffrey @SneakyJoeSports They currently have the same number of regulation wins. If Sabres win in regulation and Tampa wins in OT or SO, Sabres would have 40 regulation wins to Tampa Bay's 39.

@SabresPlayoffs @DarrowJeffrey @SneakyJoeSports The 3rd tiebreak is total wins so even if Sabres did tie in RW and ROW they would still be behind in total wins

Montréal vs Tampa on Thursday. Think we want Montréal in regulation because of tiebreakers.

@Killerdg93 @DarrowJeffrey @SneakyJoeSports Yes true... But op might be forgetting that the Sabres play tomorrow and Thursday.

@SabresPlayoffs @DarrowJeffrey @SneakyJoeSports Not true

@DarrowJeffrey @SneakyJoeSports If Tampa wins in OT or SO and Sabres win in regulation yes. Otherwise no.

@SneakyJoeSports Tampa win Sabres win Sabres in 1st Right ??

@SneakyJoeSports If Buffalo doesn't finish first, I want it to be Montreal that finishes first. Would much rather play Tampa than Montreal in R1.

@ThePME Folks, it looks like nobody is winning the Masters this year.

We've come to the end of this cripplingly pedantic exercise. Only 3 remain who have a chance to win the 2026 Masters. (Well, 4 if Hideki can Top 10 this wekeend)... x.com/ThePME/status/…

The Masters isn’t random. And every year… we pretend it is. These are the 17 Winning Trends that will predict the 2026 Masters

@villeleinofan @Matt_Bove He's the franchise leader in playoff points in the past 15 years

@Matt_Bove Marc Andre gragnani

name a random sabres player from the drought. go.

@SalSports All they had to do was this, but bigger

Another rendering from a different angle…………

@MattParrino Would be nice if they could use an actual rendering and not this AI slop.

The official measurements and renderings are in on the Bisons that will stand in front of the new stadium and they’re enormous. There will be a 27-foot high Bull (23k pounds), a 23-foot Cow, and a 12-foot Calf. The display will be the centerpiece of the family circle.

@StatBoy_Steven Agree Disagree Agree Strongly disagree Meh Meh Sure Meh

NHL rule changes I want to see: - If a powerplay starts when the period starts, that face-off should be in the offensive zone - Jailbreak rule. Shorthanded goal ends the PP - If a team scores on a delayed penalty, they still get the powerplay - 3rd period or overtime cannot end on a PP if the team on the man advantage is trailing or the game is tied - Icing called when a team passes or skates the puck back across the red line in 3-on-3 overtime - When a bench minor is called, the opposing coach gets to choose who serves the penalty - Icing still called when shorthanded, unless you reach the blue line first - Either count all goals off the skate or count none of them. Remove the arbitrary element of the kicking-motion rule.

There have been 12,003 player seasons with at least 300 minutes of 5v5 TOI since 2007/08 Zach Metsa ranks 1st of 12,033 in on-ice save percentage (.987) and 6th of 12,033 in on-ice shooting percentage (15.0%)

@NotTheJoeMarino Most years at this point we'd be happy with them needing 25 of 30 points to make the playoffs

The Sabres need 25 points out of a possible 30 points to tie their franchise record point total 113 in 2006-2007 where they won the Presidents’ Trophy

@BuffaloSabres @SenecaBuffalo youtu.be/bAHKzetFjZ8?si…

SABRES WIN! ⚔️ #LetsGoBuffalo | @SenecaBuffalo

When Leafs captain goes down vs when Sabres captain goes down

@BuffaloSabres Not typically a Power hater but that was brutal.

Washington nets one. 2-1 Caps | P3 1:33

Ladies and gentlemen, we have ourselves a rivalry.

@JaySkurski He made minor contact before the push.

What are these announcers on ESPN even talking about? Doan is clearly pushed into the goalie. Get rid of all of these “rules experts.” They make the viewing experience worse.

Can't believe that goal stands. Looked like some minor contact before the shove from Letang.

Norris really looked like Cozens there.
