Night Train Posted March 3 Report Posted March 3 " As you can see by the recent wins, we're almost there " Adams repeats again and for the next 10 years. Run mediocrity back ! .. or actually try and make the playoffs before we're all dead. 1 Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted March 3 Report Posted March 3 I made it to JFK, I dislike it here... But looks like I'll be home and I may actually tune in, I'll be zombie zoning out hard.... But that's par for the course for Sabres viewing this season/decade. I get that they have looked better as of late, but I'm past the point where I'm excited yet. Too little, too late. We felt this way last year just for this year to unfold as such. Go sabres anyhow 5 Quote

Run mediocrity back ! .. or actually try and make the playoffs before we're all dead. If we don’t make the playoffs, it’s a huge fail. The expectation hasn’t changed. They don’t have an excuse to “run it back” if they miss. Those results aren’t close to good enough and the macro season result is still obviously what’s the most relevant, not when your distribution of wins was. But I think we can make it Quote
mjd1001 Posted March 3 Report Posted March 3 (edited) I haven't looked at the upcoming schedule for a while, but wow, the next 10 games are really tough: -Winnipeg, 3rd overall, won 8 of their last 10 -Toronto, 7th overall in the league, hottest team in the league maybe, 9 wins in their last 10 -Nashville, back to back after Toronto, the Preds have moved into playoff position with 8 wins in their last 10. -Edmonton. They 'flipped the switch' around Thanksgiving, since then going 31 wins in 40 games (playing at a 129 point pace) -Detroit. A surprise team 10 points ahead of Buffalo. -Islanders. This is the easy one I guess -Detroit again. -Seattle, who Buffalo has never beat (0 wins in 5 attempts, including being dominated 5-2 back in January. -Vancouver. Best team in the league for good portions of the season, and currently 5th overall. -Edmonton again (see above) If they come out of the next 10 games with a winning record, then I'll be really impressed with this run they are on. They are going to need to see some backup goalies. Edited March 3 by mjd1001 1 1 1 Quote

JustOneParade Posted March 3 Report Posted March 3 Sooo …. is tonight’s game on NHL Network? Won’t be on ESPN+ if so. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 3 Report Posted March 3 (edited) MUST WIN !! GO SABRES !! AVENGE HOUSLEY !! (YOUS HEARD ME !!) SWORDS !! Guessing we will see Levi tonight. Has he been called up ? Edited March 3 by Sabres Fan in NS Quote
CallawaySabres Posted March 3 Report Posted March 3 Philly is the only team they can catch, in my opinion. Back up goalie could be a big problem with the schedule coming up. Quote

Often times NHLN just rebroadcasts the home PBP. So if they use MSG+, does ESPN+ still have on-demand rights? Quote

Well he isn't wrong; the biggest reason is we still play Detroit 3 times in the final 21, Washington 2 times, Tampa once, Isles once, Devils once and even Toronto twice. You find a way to win those 10 games in regulation, and your odds of making it skyrocket. 1 Quote

You can't say if they go on an 8 or 10 game winning streak they WILL be in the race. They've won six of eight. They gained zero ground on the final spot. Quote
