  1. Guess I’m wrong then. I’ll avoid watching this one
  2. If they end up catching up on the same race track, the horse was always in the race. It would be revelatory
  3. If we don’t make the playoffs, it’s a huge fail. The expectation hasn’t changed. They don’t have an excuse to “run it back” if they miss. Those results aren’t close to good enough and the macro season result is still obviously what’s the most relevant, not when your distribution of wins was. But I think we can make it
  4. They don’t need Jack, he was a complimentary piece /s
  5. Cause Comrie stanks
  6. Grizzly Adams DID have a beard Grizzly Adams DID have a beard
  7. Dunno about Levi
  8. 9 iron eh? you’re fired
  9. Well f*ck them we’ll be laughing it up, fuzzball! soon
  10. When you realize we are witnessing a playoff berth come to fruition in real time
  11. Lol ok right i knew that I just thought someone else made a Vegas specific version of the quote last Vegas was good
  12. Is that the Hangover, Last Vegas, or Fear and Loathing?
  13. Never go full Vegas
  14. Tampa looks primed for another loss!
  15. I’m not really joking. I think we might do it Just ftr
  16. Plenty of room on my “the math doesn’t actually look that bad” bandwagon
  17. Maybe this Will die
  18. The Sabres might only need 30 points 15-7 might get us in the playoffs
  19. A playoff contender, yes But we are a “playoff contender”’ more less, right now. But that’s not the point anymore. The idea isn’t to contend for the playoffs, the idea is to make the playoffs. The idea is to measure based on results, actually having expectations. We don’t want to minimize everything we need and squint really hard to the point we dial it back to the bare minimum theoretical supplement possible, to where the playoffs stay in range next year, should everything go to plan that’s bad strategy, and that’s how you miss the playoffs. People crunching the data and shaving off the most neutral and negative possible outcomes in favour of a hope for the most positive outcome are missing the forest for the trees The roster needs to be in a place where, if we are pessimistic about whether it achieves its full potential, said result for team is still comfortably in the 8th spot
  20. Hypothetical, because I see the two teams compared by the fanbases so often: IF the Sabres miss the playoffs, would your disappointment be at all mitigated should the Red Wings also miss? Trap game for the Jets
  21. Agree, don’t see why they would leave it to chance when the stakes are so high
