May Day 10 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Man the Sabres are driving me nuts, they are doing ever thing they can to screw this up. We need to call up Grigorinko and anybody else who is playing like crap in Rochester. They have lost like 6 games in a row Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realize that in terms of points per game, Grigorenko is second to Larsson among all Amerks this season, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irbe was one hell of a netminder! Can't we just send him to Aruba for a few months... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Now Hackett is supposed to start tonight. If he stands on his head, Irbe has got to go for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyVanMiller Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Picked up a point on the Oilers last night, now 5 to the good of both EDM and PHX. Need a regulation loss tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Man, i was upset when that freaking goal went in off Holtby's back. I was swearing something to the tune of " if that freaking goal costs us McEichel".... I look at it as we are up 3 till tonight when we get even in games. 12 to go after tonight. Lord, Toronto mailed it in the first...that is all I watched. See it ended same as first. Back to back tonight...in Boston , national game on NBC 2nd night in a row. Lord, I guess they figure we will watch hockey no matter what....and they are right! Let's hope the boys don't find there legs till behind 3-0.

eball Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Magic number is now 22 points I'm familiar with the concept when teams are trying to clinch a positive result, so if we're looking at this in reverse is this the number of points the Sabres don't earn, combined with the points the Yotes or Oil do earn? (in other words, the magic number went down by 3 last night?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(in other words, the magic number went down by 3 last night?) Here it would strictly be points not earned by the Sabres. If they lose 22 points out of the remaining 26 points, neither team can pass them. When you're talking about more than two teams, you would need to have a separate magic number for each team. Right now, those numbers happen to be the same for both Edmonton and Arizona since they're tied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 We gots lots of losing to do yet I was giddy this morning when I saw that some teams have hit the 70 games played mark. It's so close to being done now. Finally we can get back to where the team actually wants to win games. It's still going to be rough for a while, but there is going to be a lot of young talent on this team that should be very fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you clear your calendar for next Thursday....I truly think that game vs Arizona in Buffalo determines this whole race. Quick question...if you are Murray do you tell Nolan Who to play that night...especially in goal? Does Ennis get an upper body the game before? I mean....two years of the tank can all go down the drain that night . I don't know what the right answer is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 You know what I want to see... This team go up 2-0, 3-0 each game and then lose 3-2, 4-3, whatever... LoL... That would put me @ ease. Score first, hold, and then collapse. Screw the NHL! They've screwed us! Do it in games that really count for other teams too! This one is for 1999! I don't care what people/League think. The NHL wants bush league, give 'em bush league! Tank baby tank! Inject Nolan with the flu. Send Irbe to Aruba. Pay me to coach the last games... Heck, scratch that, I will pay the Sabres for the honor! I am not a man of means, but whatever little I can spare, I surely could! :-) Oh... I asked this question before but forget if there are any twists... Besides the Isles first rounder, does BFLO have any other teams first round pick. A team that will be in the lottery, that is. Of course, the Isles just couldn't stink for one more year! :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 1st round picks that were traded were teams who were firmly entrenched in playoff position. No one was going to give up their chance at McDavid, even if it was only a 1% shot.
