Hawk Posted March 5, 2006 Report Posted March 5, 2006 December had a similar schedule and the Sabres did very well. They do have 3 more games in March than Dec. They had 14 games W: 11, L: 3. There were 8 road games, of which they lost only 2. Now you can use the agrument that most of those teams have worse records than the Sabres. We are currently tied for 4th plce in total points in the league, so the majority of teams ARE worse than us. Summing up: I feel the Sabres will win 2/3 of the games they have in March. And be ready for the Run. Dec 05 record: http://www.forecaster.ca/hockeynews/hockey...option=20051201

Corp000085 Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 this is different though. every single team has this exact schedule. The sabres will do fine. they're a young rested team and they can see their prize.
Rabbit151 Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 That's great news that the roster can have extra players down the stretch. I mentioned this a while back and someone said the Sabres wouldn't be able to do this without losing someone to waivers. Lindy should take full advantage of this by resting different players during this rigorous regular season stretch-run. The Sabres are in a great position to make big noise in the play-offs, since they rely on all four-lines and can insert black-aces without missing a beat. Some of the teams like the Rangers are lost without 2 or 3 key guys. Don't dream anymore Sabres fans. This team could make a serious run and no one should be surprised by that.
