pi2000 Posted October 2, 2019 Report Posted October 2, 2019 13 games in Oct, what's a reasonable expectation for number of wins and losses? Away: PIT CBJ ANA LAK SJS NYR DET Home: NJD MTL FLA DAL SJS ARI I'll say 2-4-1 on the road, and 3-1-2 at home.. giving them 13 points. Should beat LAK and DET, maybe get a point from ANA. Some western conf teams at home should find some wins there. Win or lose I really just want to see these guys play hard for Krueger. We should have a pretty good idea early on whether or not they're buying in. Quote
CallawaySabres Posted October 2, 2019 Report Posted October 2, 2019 4 Risto shipped off and a trade for goaltending is made by 11/1 Quote
Randall Flagg Posted October 2, 2019 Report Posted October 2, 2019 They could win anywhere from 3 to 10 of those probably, no idea where they'll fall Quote
darksabre Posted October 2, 2019 Report Posted October 2, 2019 All of those home games excepting Arizona look pretty tough. Quote
Zamboni Posted October 2, 2019 Report Posted October 2, 2019 Between new faces in the lineup, injuries, new coaches and system and getting used to all of it ... 6W 7L 3 will be OT losses Quote

Also, five of the road games are against teams you could easily argue are worse than the Sabres. (though I personally wouldn't make that argument for CBJ) Edited October 2, 2019 by Randall Flagg 2 Quote
darksabre Posted October 2, 2019 Report Posted October 2, 2019 Only 3 divisional games though, which is for the best. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted October 2, 2019 Report Posted October 2, 2019 October is a weird month in the NHL so none of the games are gimmes and none of them are out of our reach. That is true always, but it's extra true early. We're not going to have a good handle on these guys until ~20-30 games in as always. Man I hate being in a division with Price, Rask, Vasi, Bobrovsky 1 Quote

miles Posted October 2, 2019 Report Posted October 2, 2019 I think 9 wins. I think the team is going to surprise a lot of people 1 Quote

Taro T Posted October 2, 2019 Report Posted October 2, 2019 6W's. They shock Pittsburgh, win in Anaheim & Detroit. Go back to their tradition victories over the Snarks and also beat the Desert.Dogs. But that has them starting the year 0-4 at home. Maybe they beat Joisey playing them before all the new pieces start to gel. If they do, then 7-6. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted October 2, 2019 Report Posted October 2, 2019 The best most-forgotten-about game from last season was in Anaheim. We destroyed them. The goal count was narrow, but it really felt like we had a good team that night. Of course, they were still like 5-1 or something at the time, and we didn't know (well, the stats people were already yelling about it) that they'd fall off a cliff Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted October 2, 2019 Report Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) 7-4-2 Away: (3-2-2) PIT - OTL - 3-4 CBJ - W - 5-2 ANA - OTL - 3-4 LAK - W - 4-1 SJS - L - 1-4 NYR - L - 3-2 DET - W - 4-2 Home: (4-2-0) NJD W - 5-4 MTL W - 2-1 in OT FLA - L - 3-4 DAL - L 2-4 SJS - W 4-2 ARI - W 5-1 I think our new pace catches some team by surprise. We almost always beat SJS and never beat FLA. We have typically done pretty well out West. I think we are better then Det, Mon, NJD, ARI, CBJ and the LAK and will play like it.

Randall Flagg Posted October 2, 2019 Report Posted October 2, 2019 The game in Pittsburgh last year was so crazy. It should hopefully be exciting win or lose. Quote

#freejame Posted October 2, 2019 Report Posted October 2, 2019 You can’t go perfect and lose a game in October so I predict 13 wins. Quote
... Posted October 2, 2019 Report Posted October 2, 2019 I don't know, ask me after I've seen them play a few games. As my grand-pappy used to say, "you never know what's in the pickle-barrel until you've taken the lid off it..." Quote
