100 points

i know it doesn't mean as much as it used to, but it's still an accomplishment. what is this, the fourth or fifth time they've done it?

Blugold...do you say this because of the 1pt for getting to OT and the new Shootout rules?

 

I see your point, it is a different scoring system than teams that reached 100pts in the 80's and 90's, but I have to say that I still feel like 100 points is a great accomplishment.

 

Just as a note, this is the 7th time in franchise history the club has reached 100pts. Here are the others:

 

1974-75: 113

1975-76: 105

1976-77: 104

1977-78: 105

1979-80: 110

1983-84: 103

2005-06: 100 (and counting!)

I noticed this last night -- with 6 more points in our last 6 games, we will have our 3rd-highest regular-season point total ever. Even with the extra point for the OT loss, that is still an amazing accomplishment for a team with a rookie goalie that everyone picked to finish at the bottom.

yeah exactly...even the 5:00 OT period didn't exist for those teams...

 

but damn, you sort of forget how good they were for SO LONG.

 

in any case, 100 points for this group absolutlely is a great accomplishment, but they still have me walking on eggshells as far as being a serious contender is concerned. i think ruff gets coach of the year for wringing 100pts out of this roster...other than briere, there just aren't a lot of really good players on this team! max was great last night, but i promise he is gonna disappear in the playoffs.

 

ah well, today i am smiling...that was an awesome game those boys treated us to last night, and i will be in the 4th row next to the habs' benchwhen they get back home next week. GO SABRES! :)
