2 weeks till ur sad i do not care about the weather you will be sad this summer

@Diandra_loux Aww no way. What a tough time that must be to go through. Mr. Cooper doesn’t deserve that.

Jon Cooper on the penalties tonight: “Honestly I’ve been a part of so many of those this year, so it's nothing new to us. I was probably more surprised how they got put on the power play 6 times in a row. We must have been I guess, the aggressors, apparently.” #GoBolts

Regulation wins and goal differential: Boston: 31 and +18 Ottawa: 36 and +28 Tampa Bay: 39 and +59

And if Sabres can hold onto the division, Montreal and Tampa Bay would be the Round 1 matchup there.

The Canadiens are no longer the Sabres most likely Round 1 opponent. It is now the Bruins, followed by the Senators. If the Sabres don't win the division, it's very likely the Lightning. But if nothing changes, it's Boston @ Buffalo for Round 1

Boston has: @ TB, @ CBJ, vs. NJ Ottawa has: @ NYI, @ NJ, vs. TOR

Another twist here! With the Sens winning 3 straight, they are only 2 points behind Boston, and they have the tiebreaker. The Atlantic Division winner is very likely to play WC 1 (since Carolina on their way to a win tonight)

If Montreal gets 3 or 4 points in their 2 games, they will pass Buffalo (at least for a day)

During the Sabres 3-day break: MTL vs. CBJ MTL @ NYI TB @ BOS Any losses by MTL or TB are a bonus. If all 3 are regulation losses, the Sabres clinch the Atlantic before they take the ice on Monday.

The Lightning need at least 5 of 6 points and the Sabres to lose out, as well as Montreal to lose one game.

Tampa falls to 3rd in the division! Sabres control their division destiny! #sabrehood

That's such a devastating loss for Tampa Bay. Suzuki with 70 assists is crazy, btw

Sabres regulation win✅ Tampa regulation loss✅

Nevermind, Montreal scores before OT!?

This is actually okay... overtime is fine in this instance

The Lightning tied it with just under 2 minutes to play..

@BuffaloSabres You mean Colton Ellis?!

So, who's buying a Josh Doan jersey tonight?

The Blue Jackets are two points out of the final Wild Card spot. They've beat Buffalo in both meetings this season. They are 1-5-1 over their last 7, but they should be desperate for points.

Tonight's #sabres game is so important. Chances of winning the division can swing massively: If Buffalo wins in regulation: ~65% If Buffalo wins in OT/shootout: ~60% If Buffalo loses in a shootout: ~42% If Buffalo loses in regulation: ~25%

For tonight: CBJ @ BUF (hope for Sabres regulation win) TB @ MTL (anything but a Lightning win in regulation) CAR @ CHI (root for Blackhawks) MIN @ DAL (root for Stars -- there's a path where they may not have anything to play for in the finale vs. Buffalo.
