Are the Sabres out of the running for the playoffs?
Thorner replied to inkman's topic in The Aud Club
Well, I said this 10 games ago. We’ve gone 4-6 since. 8 more games to go (I was setting the mark at 10 games remaining in the season) “Same relative position.“ we can still do it, but it looks like we may come up a bit short 😞 I’m not sure we’ll be sitting on the bubble with 10 games remaining. On the bubble with a realistic shot, that’s where I wanted to be at that stage, that’s where we were when I made the statement. To me, that would classify as “in it” for the full year - was gonna spot them the final 10. Gotta string together a few here in these next 8 to get us back to being “in it” at the begging of that final 10. Looking mighty dicey. -

I’m honestly glad he moved in towards the net cause I feel like these almost ALWAYS ended with point shot goals back in the day 😂 -
If there’s never a pay off for that particular Chekhov’s gun...

I kinda buy KO when he says the tired thing cause we could kinda see it coming Though, it appears even the youth are feeling it We just better finish above .500. Yeesh. Watching for that and hopefully Dahlin’s Norris (nomination) pace getting back on track -

I can buy this. hell, it broke the emotional psyche of the board considering and granting youthful naivety. assuming it’s one factor at play in combination with fatigue. And players liked Dahlin and who else playing banged up and bad goaltending cant forget bad goaltending -

Those odds change very quick still at this stage, if you reel off even 2-3 wins. It’s just a number - very liable to change with this much ground left to cover. I know it wasn’t *likely* but the reality of the situation is, with no team in a better spot sitting in between, record wise (I’m counting the pens as 7th) they came in to today 6 points back of islanders with 3 games in hand. It’s not being optimistic to grant them 3 points for those 3, we’ve earned at a better than .500 pace this year. Being stingy, they were about 3 points back with, after “accounting for those games”, 16 more left to play. Would you honesty be ok with the players, knowing they are 3 points back with 16 to play, caring more about some websites 6% number? we said we are trying to build a perennial cup contender. That’s what adams said. It’s defies the limits of believability to suggest we wouldn’t need enough grit to overcome significantly more adversity while trying to accomplish something like that, than making up 1.5 worth of games over *20 percent* of a season they didn’t give up. That would be absurd -

I sure hope they didn’t feel out of it because they had to make up about 3 points in ~16 games. That’s way, way too soon to throw in the towel. I hope it’s more the fatigue thing tbh -

It’s a good point Id have pulled him before even 5, but in the way you outline they didn’t “leave him twisting in the wind”, either. it makes it easier for this fan to stomach, tbh. Comrie needed to help himself out lol -

Thorner replied to inkman's topic in The Aud Club
Starting to look like we might not get that really cool “down to the wire” feeling where we are playing games right up until the end that could get us in. But it’s still possible. Really need to reel off that 6 gamer any time, now, though...certainly looks more unlikely after that performance, and admission from KO* tonight. *Dallas 10 Buffalo 4 10-4 = “OK” KO = 4-10. Not okay. -

Well, take a look at someone like Owen Power. The last time he played even 50 games was 4 years ago. He’s over 60, this year. against large men -

This one is lingering sadly. Not: lingering, sadly. Just lingering sadly. I suppose that’s the mark of a true hope for playoffs, being pushed -what feels like - significantly further away by way of one unexpectedly lopsided loss. shock to the system. Suppose there’s a silver lining there -
Turf monster, no? My pure guess is you get more forgiving sliding action on your foot re hockey

These things are always SUPER unrealistic. “Small chance” in 2046. Right. Usually that means like 1 in a hundred million. Itll be a couple more years beyond that, at least, until we make the Dance That’s what she.. I just can’t do it -

This was a joke btw @Randall Flagg. I’m pretty sure you are one of the few that can easily distinguish my sarcasm but haven’t seen much of you in a bit so my ocd made me clarify anyways, good post above -
