Doohicksie Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 Current standings through games played into 4/2. Team GP L W OT PT MPP PR RPTC M# CPM Buffalo 77 47 22 8 102 112 10 9 8 19.7 Arizona 77 46 23 8 100 110 10 11 13 13.4 Edmonton 77 41 23 13 95 105 10 16 18 11.7 Toronto 77 42 29 6 90 100 10 -- 9.5 Carolina 76 38 27 11 87 99 12 -- 8.4 Columbus 77 35 38 4 74 86 10 -- 6.1 CPM per sportsclubstats.com and lottery weighting - last updated 3/28 in PM Waiting on Eulers result. Big weekend starting up Friday night. Sabres need 8 points to clinch; 8 points up for grabs. Sabres host Chicago, then make their last visit to the Isles' bajillion year old digs on Saturday. Yotes visit Snarks Friday then host them Saturday. Desert Dogs can blow at least 1 this weekend, possibly 2-3. Sabres should pick up at least 2 and realistically 3-4. Chicago game is huge. Sabres take 2 that night, they can get past losing 2 points to a late season juggernaut and start another roll of 2/game, just like old times; Sabres choke away 2 and it's up for grabs. These 2 vs the Snarks are on paper the DD's toughest challenge and could leave them further behind the Sabres than the 2 they trail by heading into the weekend. Chicago's 5th ranked pk may be just what the Dr ordered to quell the Sabres' recent penchant to self destruct on the pp. Thank goodness you post the numbers cuz I still can't used to this CHL lingo.
... Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 It may take Taro and a few others a couple of weeks to get used to normal NHL speak after the CHL season is over.
Sabrestrike Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 A NHL win tonight and the Shart is dead. C'mon, Buffalo. We got this. Tank on.
That Aud Smell Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 Amen! I had a dream last night that I was taking the train home with some of the kids after a game next season, and we were marveling over something McDavid had done. For the Sabres. I believe.
Claude_Verret Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 As 'ole Roby used to like to say..we're all clenched up tighter than a mouse's ear.
Claude_Verret Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 You won't understand the standings next year my friend! Kudo's to you for keeping track of the bizarre. We may very well still be CHL contenders next year, just not on purpose.
Sabrestrike Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 We may very well still be CHL contenders next year, just not on purpose. We will definitely be contenders, especially if we don't get McEichel. I'm optimistic we won't be the favorites, but we'll be in the conversation. A member of the "Septic 6," almost certainly.

Claude_Verret Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 There's no need for a CHL thread next year from game one since not a single fan should think that is the season long goal, but if they play themselves into contention it might be worth following. Of course the shart won't carry nearly the same luster going forward.
beerme1 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 So this thread will continue until when exactly? April 11 is my hope.
Claude_Verret Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 I hate to give more fodder to the ledge walkers, but here are two interesting trends that the Sabres bucked over the last two games (NHL speak): Sabres record when opponent scores first: 4-33-5. Arizona game. Sabres record when trailing after 2nd: 3-34-2. Toronto game. If Chicago scores first and is leading after two and the Sabres still win, then I just might budge a little off of my certainty that the Shart is ours.
dudacek Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Is there any chance this thread will be revived next year? It was a great diversion, but I hope to god Taro locks it when the season is over and buries the key forever. Edited April 3, 2015 by dudacek

beerme1 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 Shootout at the Pens game? AAHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGG
spndnchz Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 AAHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGG I imagine the Sabres player that gets the winning shootout goal is run out of town by an angry mob. :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:

If the shart comes down to the last game at home and we blow it....ugghh I don't even want to think about and its lasting effects.
TrueBlueGED Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 Domingue will backstop the Yotes to overtime tonight, and butt cheeks everywhere shall loosen for at least a day.

If the shart comes down to the last game at home and we blow it....ugghh I don't even want to think about and its lasting effects. I'll be there and I just can't imagine it. Don't want to imagine it. I sure as hell hope it's resolved before our last game. Weber will be involved in a fight with fans in the stands if it's ending like this to appreciate the fans better.
