Buffalo hosts the “broad street bullies”
Here along the Lake The final game of the NHL 2024-25 regular season for the Buffalo Sabres is at home and the players will be sporting their brawny Black & Red sweaters tonight versus Philadelphia.
The Flyers have dominated the first two games of the three game regular season series between these two teams, both play their final game tonight and recently both teams have earned similar 5-4-1 records, with one glaring positive statistic going into this game is that the Sabres are now 10th and Philadelphia is 24th overall in scoring.
Although the Sabres must endure one more season without a playoff seeding, this streak of misfortune ends come September NHL 2025-26 preseason, with the hopes of strengthening the team’s netminding for next season the Sabres do have a solid opportunity to barge boldly into next year’s playoffs.
Fantasy Hockey Update
Congratulations to Puck Yoself Bud who is soon to be this season’s ESPN FHL Chicago Pro H2H points league Champion, with a 59-point lead heading into tonight’s final Finals game versus Team MVP, it appears to be a given.
While still fresh in your mind now is a good opportunity to begin your FHL draft list for next season, initially you can just write down the two best players from each NHL team, then do the same for each team in your fantasy league, this provides a powerful starting point for a team manager in the upcoming season.
The NHL Playoffs Are Here!
Now that teams know who they are seeded against, fans can begin to fill out their brackets, and quickly since Saturday starts the exciting run to the 2024-25 Stanley Cup Finals.
This is just how I see the opening round possibly playing out and my official Buffalo Winter bracket submission for this season, my apologies to fans of the teams I have eliminated early in my prognostication, lol.
Buffalo Winter 
I am unsure whether I will enter a PG team in the ESPN Fantasy Hockey League next season.
Congratulations on your fantasy team’s respectable performance.
Thank you for your playoff bracket. I will endeavour to do the same if I can figure out how and I will share it.

In regard to managing a fantasy team next season, prep for the draft anyways, at the very least you will have gained valuable knowledge of top players that will impress Oldfan, and if you do decide to participate you will have a handy data base of players while other team managers scramble to remember who they wanted from last season.
Thank you, third place is respectable…but you do not get sprinkles on your ice cream for almost winning, lol.
Similar to fantasy hockey, when it comes to the Stanley Cup “brackets” available everywhere, I go all in on one selection, I realize some fans submit a half a dozen versions of what they think will happen.
I enjoy the opening round of the playoffs because every team still has a shot at winning the Cup and there is a playoff game to watch every night!
