Do you think the Swords have quit on Housely??? I mean that team has some legit talent...especially up front...but they play without emotion or intensity.
This is a spot where all season Columbus would lay an egg but I just can't get myself to blow $$ on the Swords.

The top seed in each division plays one of the wild-card teams in its conference. The division leader with the most points plays the wild-card team with the fewest points. The second and third seeds in each division face each other in the first round.
Be the Hammer Not the Nail - GO BILLS and take the SABRES with you!!!

not sure. always locker room or player / mgt issues in barfalo. they look like they quit - that's for sure - maybe pegula wants them to tank the rest of the way, they're like 1-19 L20, maybe worse. All that said, they'll probably screw me and win today
