Shesterkin gives the Rangers a chance in any playoff series against any team.

New Jersey is the better hockey team though.

Goaltending and experience will be the difference

New Jersey will contend next year and beyond for the cup though

Fighting won’t be in the NHL in 5 years.

Junior leagues are already banning it.

- ImThatGuy

Not that I’m against fighting in hockey, but it is kinda dumb, two guys punching each other in helmets and visors. Not that punching someone’s skull isn’t a risk for a hand injury, but still.
My biggest problem with fighting in today’s game is most seem to start after a clean check/hit.

Why do you keep wearing these franking uniforms?

You have the best uniforms in the league - quit franking around.

Are you going to bring back the turd burger jersey?

Maybe.

Playoffs are no longer a constant defensive slugfest

I think it was like 70% of the playoff games had the winning team scoring 4 + goals last year.

NJ can do damage.

No they’re definitely not but that’s not what I was implying.

Rangers have a ton of playoff/cup experience.

I think Hughes will struggle a little bit his first go round.

I’d be quite alright if Tuch and Skinner were replaced on PP1

Is Anderson on short rest again an option?

Sabres coach Don Granato said Tage Thompson will be a "question mark" for Saturday against the Islanders.

Nice game boys.

If they could have only found consistency down the stretch.

Still need a 1a goalie.

Hope Tage is ok. Shut him down if there is even a question of further injury. We need that angry giraffe next year!

Not a good sign for Tage… hope it’s not major. It was an odd shot, rib or hip?

Great win against a solid team but pretty much every goal against us tonight was very saveable. Our goaltending is an abomination.

Tage got stuck pretty good.

Looked like his hip. Big time pain, when he came back, a good portion of the crowd applauded him, on his 1st shift.

Buffalo fans have a good grasp of the game. Still some diehards

Sabres record in Black and Red (all at home): 9-1-1.

Sabres home record in blue and gold (includes the reverse retro): 5-19-2

It's because Blue and Gold has been emblematic of what it's been since this franchise's inception: ineptitude.

I say all this mostly in jest, but it's absolutely bizarre how night and day it is.
