Now that was a great win! Sabres played a heck of a game against a very tough opponent.

Well, that’s game, and most likely kills any small chance the Sabres had left at the playoffs. But let’s be real, those two 4 game losing streaks back to back in March probably already killed their playoff chances. Just going .500 in that stretch and things are totally different right now. They made a nice push at the end of the 3rd but it was too late. That’s the type of effort they should have been playing with all 3rd period. They’ve just come up short all season when the pressure was on. But they’re a young team. Hopefully they’ve learned some valuable lessons this season. I’d still say it was mostly a successful season. They played a meaningful game in April. That’s definitely a step forward. But Playoffs need to be the goal next year, and that starts this offseason by hopefully filling at least a couple holes with meaningful additions.

They’ve made a little push here toward the end but they are Quickly running out of time here and now they just took a penalty with 2:30 left. Ouch. 🤬 i thought that was a pretty damn weak holding call though.

What a weak call that led to the panthers goal. 5 penalties called in the first alone, 3 on the Sabres. And I thought that missed slash on Jost was more of a penalty than 2 of the 3 called against Buffalo. Plus the one BS penalty likely took a Sabres goal off the board too. I hope this officiating isn’t what the 2nd and 3rd are going to be like. Panthers 3rd string goalie (Lyon?) looks shaky. Sabres need to shoot as many pucks as they can at him!

Levi is the confirmed starter!

It would take some big balls to start Levi in the most important game the Sabres have played in granato’s time here, but I could totally see it happening. Itll be interesting to see if he goes with the rookie or more experience. Anderson still seems to be hurt so I think we can rule him out. UPL and Comrie are splitting the other net. Not sure how to interpret this. I’m leaning toward thinking Levi is starting.

👀👀

Levi starting tomorrow! I am excited to see how he does.

Also, in the future I would not click on any links sent to you. Just assume it’s someone trying to get your info. I assume every unknown link sent to me is a virus. Most of the time I just ignore any link sent to me on phone, PC, etc. But if it’s something I need to open, the Very first thing I do before even thinking of clicking on a link or downloading any program is right click on the link, copy it then go to virustotal.com and paste it in and run a virus check. It will run the file or URL through 60-90 different antivirus and malware programs. https://www.virustotal.com/ (you can even run this link thru virustotal before opening it if you want…lol. But It’s just the link to the site). also, any time I download a program I go to virustotal and check the downloaded file before I open it. I do this even after I have run the link to the file, just to be safe. This won’t help you now, but could in the future. I would recommend changing these settings too. -Open File Explorer from the taskbar. -Select View > Options > Change folder and search options. -Select the View tab and, in Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives and then hit OK. Also, for the future I would change this setting too: To Show File Extensions in Windows 11/10 via File Explorer Options, follow these steps: Open Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization. Now, click on Folder Options or File Explorer Option, as it is now called Select the View tab. In this tab, under Advanced Settings, you will see the option Hide extensions for known file types. Uncheck this option Click on Apply and OK. Windows by default will hide known file extensions but this isn’t a good thing IMO. It could allow a hacker to hide a .exe file (executable) as a simple .pdf. Then if you ever see an executable file that should be a pdf or something similar, don’t click on it because as soon as you do it will execute whatever program it is they are trying to install.

You were definitely hacked. 100%. There is no way someone else would have reports on your computer being hacked. In the future, never ever even click on a link sent by someone claiming anything about your computer. Usually as soon as you click on the link it executes/installs the virus. It sounds like they installed a Remote Desktop program on your PC. They are remotely controlling your computer. That’s why you see the blue screen. They are using your PC when you see that screen. How old is the PC? Was it expensive? If it’s old and/or cheap the easiest thing to do would be to replace it and start over. Don’t transfer anything. But that’s probably not reasonable so I’d seek out the help of a professional. Depending on how good the hacker was the programs they use could be very well hidden and/or could end up on your new PC if you transfer files from old pc to new. change all your passwords immediately. do not change the passwords from the infected computer! Otherwise the hacker will likely have your new passwords too. I would also strongly recommend turning on 2 factor authentication for everything you can. So that way in the future even if someone manages to get your password it won’t matter since they’d need your cell phone too. I use 2FA on everything. It can be a PITA sometimes but it’s worth it. Personally, I would assume any info you had stored on that computer is now unsafe and take the necessary steps to correct. credit cards, bank cards, banking info, anything else you had stored on the PC. Hopefully you didn’t have your social security number stored and haven’t had to enter it recently. If you did, then I would also take the proper steps there too. they also very likely installed a key logger, which records every single key stroke. So that means anything you typed into the pc since this happened has been logged. You got some good advise here. I’d lock all credit cards you had stored on that pc and look into getting new ones. Definitely have your bank issue a new debit card after you change your banking passwords on a new PC. Change all passwords from a new PC and turn on 2 factor authentication. Maybe consider something like life-lock to monitor your personal info for a while until you see what this hacker got. Get that PC disconnected from the internet immediately. And change the password to your WiFi. When changing passwords, the more random the password the better. Don’t use any personal info in the password since the hacker probably has all that personal info now. Just make up random number and letter sequences or use a password generator program.

yeah i like him too but I thought his choices for the shootout were questionable tonight.

Aggravating loss. Getting a point doesn’t really feel like a consolation prize when it comes against a bottom 5 team. Why do they always seem to struggle against crappy teams?

What a BS call. That wasn’t cross-checking. How is it even possible to cross-check with 1 hand?

When the devils scored that 4th goal i was like "they're going to blow this, aren't they?" lol I was very happy they didn't! I thought they actually played a pretty good 3rd period despite the goals against. They didn't just sit back and try to defend the lead. They kept the pressure on and pushed back. It was nice to see them playing good hockey again.

Green Bay is already stuck with a huge dead cap hit either way. If they wait to trade him until after June 1st, they can spread it out over 2 years. I don’t see the rush for Green Bay. Worst case, Green Bay is “stuck” with a hall-of-fame QB for another season or Rodgers retires and Green Bay deals with a similar dead cap hit to trading him now. and I don’t really see the other options you talk about for the Jets. All the decent QBs are signed now. They could try to sign Lamar to a huge guaranteed deal and give up two 1sts. Other than that… 🤷‍♂️ What, are they going to roll with Zach Wilson? The Jets have already hyped this Rodgers thing too much to not acquire him now. I still say Green Bay has more leverage.

I was busy and just put the game on a few minutes ago. Nashville scored 2 goals within a couple minutes to make it 5-1 and I immediately turned it off. 🤬 This team is just collapsing. It’s really disheartening.

https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/what-to-expect-from-devon-levi-why-the-sabres-should-be-patient good article on Levi, his strengths + weaknesses, and what expectations should be.

Dahlin is definitely dealing with an injury. He’s been playing through it for a while now. Not sure about Tage.

Seems like a really nice depth WR/ST signing.

I didn’t even know he was a UFA already. I remember many of us thought he would take over for Poyer or Hyde eventually but that never seemed to materialize. I wish him well in Vegas!

https://theathletic.com/4325849/2023/03/19/sabres-bruins-loss-devon-levi/ no surprise there. We will see what happens though. Like I’ve said, I don’t think the expectation should be that Levi plays in the NHL next year. Maybe an injury call-up but I don’t expect him to even be the backup next seas9n let alone the starter. I think the Sabres need to acquire an NHL starting caliber goalie for next season. Someone who can hold down the crease until Levi is ready. I’m ok with UPL being the backup next year but they absolutely can’t go into the season with only UPL and Comrie.

This is why i am not ready to call it a successful season yet. Yeah, being in the playoff race at the deadline was progress. But it's not the first time during the rebuild they have been in the playoff race at the deadline. Back in 2019 they were a few points out at the deadline when Botterill traded for Brandon Montour. Then the team proceeded to lose like crazy all of march/april. This is starting to feel the same. They need to finish the season stronger than this for me to call this season a success/progress. I wonder if not making any meaningful additions at the deadline crushed this team's spirit and/or sent the message the playoff's weren't a main priority? They sure have struggled since then. Or maybe they just weren't ready to handle the pressure of meaningful games. I dont know. Either way it's depressing and I am once again losing interest in this team. They haven't even really been fun to watch lately.

🤢🤮
