North Buffalo Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) I think he is referencing a more current version of Risk and they are making a play for Iraq.LolSabres max pts with a loss would be 28 more giving them 72 pts, Philly with a win would have 72 ptsand i believe Buff owns the carrion tie breaker meaning one position or pos gained... Clear? New Math 11. Flyers win 7-2 over wings Sabres clinch 24th place with a loss tonite Edited March 14, 2015 by Fargenov Iceholeski

biodork Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 Smart move by the Arizona broadcast team: they're featuring one of their prospects during intermission for each of the remaining games. Sabres could do something similar to remind folks what we have to look forward to in the future.

They stopped doing beyond blue n gold for some unknown reason.

Marvelo Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 No complaints about Anders Lindback. He has played better than expected and sometimes all a guy needs is a chance. But why not bring up and play Andrey Makarov? I think he deserves a chance to play.
WildCard Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) According to sportsclubstats.com we can go 3-10-1 (regular jargon) and still have a 100% shot at clinching the Shart. Edmonton must go 0-13 for a 98% shot, and Arizona the same for a 98% chance as well. Currently, Buffalo has a 79% chance with Edmonton and Arizona having 13% and 7% respectively. I have no idea where that other 1% went. Arizona - 13 games remaining, 6 Home, 7 Away, 11 vs quality opponents. Edmonton - 13 games remaining, 9 Home, 4 Away, 11 vs. quality opponents. Buffalo - 14 games remaining, 7 Home, 7 Away, 8 vs. quality opponents. I don't know exactly what espn considers a quality opponent, I would imagine a team above .500.

will Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 Wouldn't it be weird if connor just thought, "I love it here in erie, I think I'll withdraw my name from this year's draft." I have NO idea if that's even possible, but it sure would be absolutely wild. Even better if it happened after the lottery.

He won't do it cause he's not the douche Lindros was/is though

WildCard Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 nhl.com article about 15 things to watch for the end of the season, here's their take on McEichel sweepstakes, FWIW 12. WHO WILL FINISH 30TH? The race at the bottom of the standings is intriguing too, because the prize at the end of a bad season could be a generational player. Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel are expected to be the first and second picks in the 2015 NHL Draft. They are expected to have immediate impacts. The team that finishes 30th team has a 20 percent chance of securing the first pick in the draft via the 2015 NHL Draft Lottery, but it can't fall further than the No. 2 pick, meaning it is guaranteed the opportunity to select one of McDavid or Eichel. The top three candidates are the Buffalo Sabres, Edmonton Oilers, and Arizona Coyotes. Best guess: Buffalo Sabres The Sabres are 30th and are four points clear of the 29th-place Oilers and six points clear of the 28th-place Coyotes. They have a game in hand on both the Oilers and Coyotes. The decisions Buffalo made prior to the 2015 NHL Trade Deadline were geared toward improving its draft position. Buffalo is 6-27-4 in its past 37 games. The Sabres went 0-12-0 in January. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=758057&navid=nhl:topheads
