Given how the Wings have been playing, falling short of their season pace in the last 11 games is reasonable. So let's say they get 11 points. The Caps have been coming on but their SOS is a problem for them. So 13 points for them. My cutoff is lower than yours.

It's happening.

Larkin being back changes them 

A 1-0 loss to unbeatable Nashville doesn’t change that 

Anyways, let’s just wait and see

Why are you so disagreeable?

Because I don’t agree with anything anyone says 

[Stads]

I say we let Matt Ellis dress tonight and put him on the first powerplay unit. He needs to lie in his own make. 

"I talked with Matty Ellis between periods. He told me they need to clean up the 4 shorthanded goals they allowed that period. He also apologized for the 45 minute cleanup needed after hot diarrhea exploded out onto the ice after that body check he took. The cleaning crew got deep into the corners, kept the pressure on, and really got into those dirty areas."

I finally come around to your view and then you take the opposite just to spite me.

And? 

[Thorner]

Calgary is on a back to back with travel, should be easy pickins

[OverPowerYou]

We play the capitals twice, red wings once, devils once. We are most definitely finishing 9th. It’s scripted

But that march to 9th place will be even more epic this time!

[Weave]

Many winks

and checking the box score in the morning.

Why?  It’s what I do.

Oh No

Here comes another Buffalo Sabres hockey game

Quick, lets hide!!

 

[Believer]

Reading this thread is way more entertaining than the watching the Sabres slow roast into the offseason… Yet, we will all watch the game tonight. It’s what makes this place special.

You'd think right? Scheduler certainly gave them some time to relax in sunny warm Alberta 🙂

Well it’s the Caps who are the problem now they’ve just beaten Vancouver Carolina and Winnipeg in the last week.  
 

Washington is winning because their studs are on fire when they needed them most.  
 

OV is at 26 goals now.  8 goals in the first 43 games.  
 

8 in his last 5 games.

 

Its over.   And we need to seriously ask how that team is doing what they are and we look as painfully mediocre and inconsistent as we do.

If only Ovi for Miller went through

For all the Sabres historians, what was their record on this date last year and how many points back were they? I’m curious

Someone posted after last game were something like 5-7 points behind last years team.

Because there is a team pacing for 92, a team pacing for 90, and a team pacing for 88. The chances one doesn’t hit 90 is exceptionally unlikely

89 won’t do it, 9-2 won’t do it. 9-1-1 at minimum and that probably doesn’t do it

it is over  

10-0-0 *might*. But even then, it only takes one of those other teams (just one) to win an extra one or two over their season average to scuttle that too. Max points 93.

So we were in the same position this time last year?

Ya as of right now 11-0-0 would get us in a tie with Washington’s pace. If they finish on pace, 10-0-1 wouldn’t get it done
