If it means anything, the Sabres have had the toughest schedule of the bottom 12 teams up to this point.

 

It does, that's why we can't go starting to win games now ala 2013, 2012, 2011.....

Sabres are not going to finish last in the league. We're right about at the time where they start having their strong second half to the season and lock down that 10th overall pick.

 

People will get excited about the strong end to the season and will think it will carry into next season. Then, guess what happens...

Usually happens because they suck so bad that everyone takes them lightly, and start their backups.

 

I'm too lazy to look it up, but I bet the Sabres are consistently in the top 5 of teams in the league who face the most backups during a season.

That's my fear....it's already a wasted season record wise, I don't want a desperate push to 10th. Although with the pure talent (or lack thereof) I'm not as worried this season.

We figured out a couple years ago that they weren't facing more backups but that the games against backups were responsible for the bulk of their wins during the "hot finish" from a couple years back.

Although if the Sabres somehow did manage to pull off the run to nowhere again, I wouldn't be as pissed as I was in years past. The only way the Sabres on going on a run like that this year is on the backs of the kids, which would mean that they are developing into real full time NHL players, and we would need to get real 1st/2nd line minutes from some combination of them.

 

It's not going to happen, but at least it would be true progress if it did, instead of just false hope like in past seasons.

McNabb was strong Tuesday. I am surprised at that move.

 

He didn't have a bad game and I certainly can't see Weber being an improvement. :thumbdown: Bad move.

Will Leino be watching again?

Yes even if he's not scratched

 

#BeyondBlueAndGold, Ville Leino edition, actually makes me angry for some reason.

Probably his tiny little pee wee stick. Come on Ville use a man sized stick!

Damn the snow. Now I'm watching the game...at least they look like they want to win this one.

 

Nice! Ennis was due one.

That John Scott penalty was suspect at best. Anderson was well outside the crease and Scott was pushed. Since when do they not only disallow the goal, but also give the penalty? Whatever.

 

Good period, but that call just chaffed me.

the penalty was called before the puck went in. the goal ref never said it was a goal.
