IF:
Sabres beat Islanders
Capitals beat Penguins
Rangers beat Panthers
THEN:
Buffalo would be 4 points out of playoff spot with 10 games to play and a game in hand.
#LetsGoBuffalo
Tonight was the biggest win of the season. Not because it moved us into a playoff spot, but these are the games we found a way to lose all season. Not tonight. This is a better win than most will give credit for.
Ezra is awake and smiling. Children’s gave him a Bills shirt and hat compliments
@BuffaloBills
Still on antibiotics because his fever keeps spiking to 105. Should know more in the morning.
The Sabres future core:
Thompson
Tuch
Cozens
Quinn
Krebs
Dahlin
Samuelsson
Power
Levi
Honorable mention: Peterka
That’s a mighty fine core to build around. Pipeline is filled with possibilities.
#LetsGoBuffalo
My boy Ezra is in the hospital. Fighting a high temp (105.7). Not sure if liver related. His liver transplant team in NYC wanted blood draws done. He is now on an IV.
He’s a tough kid.
#everydayezra
Update from Ezra: removed his arterial line, which takes blood samples and measures blood pressure; and removed his breathing tube. Able to breathe totally on his own now. Lungs are going great.
Would you, as a fan, be okay with this being the 4 Sabres centers to start next season:
Tage Thompson
Dylan Cozens
Peyton Krebs
Casey Mittelstadt
#letsgobuffalo
Update: Covid, Flu, RSV - all negative. They gave a dose of antibiotics while waiting for lab results. So far, urine and the results that have come back are ok. Thanks to all of you for your care and prayers.

Word from Dreger is Sabres
#1
off-season priority is a top 4 defenseman. They are looking at the goalie market but it’s not a huge priority for them.
I agree with Adams on this!
Some of you know our adopted son was born with a liver issue. He’s been doing great the last 4 years, but lately some of the signs of liver issues are coming back. He goes in Wednesday for a scope.
We were told from the beginning that someday he would need a liver transplant.
The majority of Sabres fans believe UPL is terrible and will never be a good goalie, not even as a back up. This based off his rookie season where he played behind one of the worst defenses in the NHL.
He had good stretches, too. I don’t see Sabres giving up on him so quick!
Sabres have 6 draft picks first 3 rounds next month
1-1st
3-2nd
2-3rd
Adams has a lot of firepower if he wanted to make a nice trade for a defenseman to play with Power.
That would settle the defense for the foreseeable future.
#LetsGoBuffalo
Trades that I believe were win/wins for both teams:
ROR for Tage Thompson
Eichel for Tuch/Krebs
Reinhart for Levi/Pick (Kulich)
In the long run, Sabres may end up winning all three of these trades.
#LetsGoBuffalo
This is Carissa. The angel the Lord sent to save my son’s life! She showed up unbeknownst to us she went to NYC to get evaluated to see if she was a match.
HERE WE ARE…
Sabres must beat Devils, Senators and Jackets
2 of these 3 have to happen:
Panthers must lose to Canes
Islanders must lose to Montreal
Penguins go 1-0-1 vs Hawks and Jackets
#LetsGoBuffalo
Next summer, taking my boy on a boat ride. A few of them. Starting with Miss Buffalo, then Maid of the Mist. And whatever other local ones. Can’t buy him a boat just yet, but can sure take him on some.
Ezra is having a good morning. 5 days removed from surgery. Still a long road to go here in NYC, but on the right track.
If you would like to donate to his GoFundMe, here is the link.
We appreciate all of you for your prayers, love and support.
This team as is right now is a playoff team. Add Ryan Johnson on defense, replace Olofsson with Kulich and Okposo with Rousek, this team is legit to challenge for the division next season, IMO.
#LetsGoBuffalo
Best news was after the scope, it was determined no surgery was needed at this point. They are running his blood tests to see what the next steps are, if there is anything at this point
You people are the best….
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7
Well, we are still fighting the good fight and have yet to finish the race, but we have kept the faith. How could we not?
Ezra Update.
They found an obstruction in his stomach that they have to do surgery on because he has been having trouble with Bms and eating and has had no appetite. He just went in for surgery now and will take about three hours. 🙏
#everydayezra
Why Sabres will be better next season and break 100 points:
-young players more experienced, ready to take it to the next level
-goaltending will be better
-defense will be better
-divisional foes have weakened, specifically Bruins and Lightning
I’m looking forward to it
Watching Devon Levi, he is probably going to be great, but he seems to have an issue with rebounds. With the way he tracks the puck, you would think his rebound control will be better. He is the kind of player you think will correct it
As far as I’m concerned, Sabres made the playoffs. Last two weeks they’ve been playing playoff hockey. We feel it, they feel it. Edge of your seat hockey. Intense.
Next year: Game on!
#LetsGoBuffalo
Today was a GREAT day. Ezra was FINALLY able to have a bowel movement. In fact, he had two. This is huge in his recovery. And for the rest of todays update from
@mommatoez
Looks like Girgensons wants to test the UFA market before deciding if he wants to return to Buffalo. Might be more about place than money. #
#letsgobuffalo
If:
- Samuelson stays healthy and D plays solid
- forwards play better in own end
Then:
- goaltending “issues” are not issues and going with 2nd year UPL and rookie Levi will be fine
#letsgobuffalo
Ezra Update.

@JeffRussoWKBW
