    Vogl...Murray told Nolan that Sabres have to make it look like they aren't tanking, It's all part of the plan.

    Why do they have to make it look like they aren't tanking?

    The league has a system where a team is rewarded for finishing 30th and punished for finishing 28th (barring a lucky lottery win).

    What does an extra 2-3 wins get at this point? The playoff ship sailed a long time ago. They aren't going to sell more jerseys. The season's all but over so there are no more tickets to sell, and no one is going to make a decision on season tickets based on 2-3 meaningless wins.

    Sabres’ home loss to Devils is a crowd-pleaser


    Sabres 3-1 loss draws cheers

    There’s been a respectful silence by draft-hopeful Sabres fans on game nights this season. Though many talk about wanting Buffalo to lose during outside conversations, they haven’t voiced their opinion inside First Niagara Center.

    That changed Friday night. It’s crazy to think how the Sabres’ next home game might go.

    Tank Nation walked into the arena aware that a Buffalo victory would pull the home team within one point of 29th-place Arizona. Since only No. 30 gets a guaranteed shot at prospects Connor McDavid or Jack Eichel, many fans loudly rooted for the New Jersey Devils.

    The visitors repaid the support, earning a 3-1 victory to keep Buffalo three points behind the Coyotes with 11 games to go. The Sabres play in Nashville on Saturday night, while Arizona hosts Pittsburgh.

    After visiting Dallas on Monday, the Sabres return home to face Arizona on Thursday. Based on Friday’s going-ons, the Coyotes might have home-ice advantage.....

    The Sabres’ Johan Larsson provided the NHL with definitive video of a “distinct kicking motion” during one of the few highlights. He lit the scoring lamp during a rush by Buffalo by booting the puck in the net. Officials went to the video review and quickly overturned the call.

    A cheer went up from the crowd...
