biodork Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 The biggest threat to 30th is Neuvirth. And with Nolan declaring he is going to ride that horse as long as possible this could spell trouble. I realize the Sabres need a goalie but moving him by the deadline would be best for the long term future of the franchise Couldn't this actually be a good thing (in CHL terms)? If what we saw last night was indicative of tired Neuvirth and he keeps playing game after game (after game), it should bode well for the Shart.
Brawndo Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 Couldn't this actually be a good thing (in CHL terms)? If what we saw last night was indicative of tired Neuvirth and he keeps playing game after game (after game), it should bode well for the Shart. He has a .944 Save Percentage since taking over for Enroth. And with some of the elite CHL Teams coming up in the final games this could be a problem and cost valuable points down the stretch
Hoss Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 McDavid scored his 31st of the year in game 36. 21 fame point streak.
Hoss Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 There aren't many Eichel stat updates on here, but I'll note: He's leading Division I in points and assists with 16-32-48.
Brawndo Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 Oilers with the 2-1 Win Tonight. With two games in hand the Sabres cannot afford to drop any points.
Hoss Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 Connor McDavid now has 92 points in 36 games after a 2-3-5 game tonight.
shrader Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 There aren't many Eichel stat updates on here, but I'll note: He's leading Division I in points and assists with 16-32-48. I can't say I ever thought I'd see BU players at #1 and 2 on the scoring list.

Filly, Sabres, and BJ's the only CHLers in action on Sunday. Can't believe the Preds will be looking to repeat this afternoon's debacle, which could be helpful as the Eulers are nipping at the Sabres' toes but Buffalo has 2 games in hand and could still put some space back between them.

K8prisoner Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 SportsClubStats runs millions of simulations based on current record and future opponents to calculate the odds of finishing in a certain position. http://www.sportsclubstats.com/NHL/Eastern/Atlantic/Buffalo.html That stat spikes at 51 53 and 56 seem about right.. That would suggest a win count for Edmonton at 7 or 8 to be close to certain ...

Two teams can clinch (Tampa Bay and NY Islanders) with wins and a Sabres outright loss (NYI has to be a ROW).
Crusader1969 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 Big Week ahead - Sabres play 4 games and need to go a perfect 4-0 (Nashville, Columbus, Vancouver & Florida) in order to create some breathing space. Oilers have 2 games this week - Minny & St.Louis. Tough to imagine them not going 2-0.

Oilers have 2 games this week - Minny & St.Louis. Tough to imagine them not going 2-0. Mmmm. We need the flu to sweep through this team. Any ideas ? :angel:
WildCard Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 Mmmm. We need the flu to sweep through this team. Any ideas ? :angel: Hand out blankets covered in small pox?
Derrico Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 Mmmm. We need the flu to sweep through this team. Any ideas ? :angel: I know I said to trade enroth and all will be well but I forgot how god nuieverth (im not learning his spelling at this point) is. You trade him and you can call off any mysterious illness as the team may not lose another game with lindback and Hackett getting the starts.
Taro T Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Mmmm. We need the flu to sweep through this team. Any ideas ? :angel:Pretty sure the Sabres are already on that. D-corp surgeries: Gorges, Weber D-corp illnesses: Strachan D-corp kids being kids: Zadorov Which leaves: NHL caliber D-men: Bogosian, Ristolainen CHL caliber D-men: Mesaros, Benoit AHL caliber D-men: Pysyk, Ruwehdel Wildcard: Charlie Desaulaurier Not a pretty picture for NHL success. For CHL success, they're pretty much doing everything short of shooting on Neuvirth themselves tonight. Edited February 22, 2015 by Taro T
dudacek Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 I believe it's called manipulating the roster.
calti Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 ...there is some pressure there no doubt. need at least a 4 pt lead w even games
Brawndo Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Neuvirth really needs to be moved in the next seven days
Hoss Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Well... Looking like a tough loss tonight. This could hurt big time...
Taro T Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Posted February 23, 2015 Well... Looking like a tough loss tonight. This could hurt big time...20 minutes to go. Plenty of time for the Preds to score a couple.
pi2000 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Plent of time left to pull this one out.
Hoss Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 I fear that if I'm anything but negative and panicky that we'll fall out of last place. If it ain't broke don't fix it. See above.
Brawndo Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 It's Buffalo, we cannot have nice things.
