How close to the playoffs will the Sabres get this year?

[Alaska John]

Last year the Sabres were one point behind the final playoff team.  They're currently four points behind the Flyers.  Assuming their usual fools-gold late season surge continues, how close do you think they'll be before failing once again?

Yeah, I'm a bitter fan, but my guess is they'll slip a little from last year, and finish three points behind the final team.

They'll win the cup

Already booked a hotel for the parade.

It is. But the Sabres are counting on it. Hell DG probably saved his job by calling one freaking timeout.

IN !!

They’re going to miss by 6

Can’t believe there is even still a chance

They’ll beat either Vegas or Nashville and avenge our former players

If the Flyers lose to the BJs and the Sabres beat the Wings and the Sens beat the Caps, the planets might really be aligning.

I think I just saw Samuelson at Betty’s restaurant in Buffalo

3 points is what they will miss by

[JoeSchmoe]

1pt

[DarthEbriate]

Pens and Isles have the experience that grinds out the necessary points. They’re at 4 points out now and it’ll end at 6.

[Wyldnwoody44]

They haven't won more than 3 in a row all year *I think*. I don't expect them to magically start now. 

... It continues 

[Buffalo Super Fan]

1 or 2 points which is disappointing hopefully it will serve a hockey life lesson for the Buffalo Sabres not to sleep walk in the first part of the NHL season. The Sabres gave away too many points not showing up in games in my opinion. Go Sabres! Let’s Go Buffalo 

[Believer]

And don’t mismanage your preseason again… Run a tough training camp to install your system… Use your first few preseason games to audition the most promising prospects… Use your last few preseason games to play your starters.

1 point short.

Then they'll sell " Run It Back ! " shirts at the Sabres store.

It would be an amazing story if they win out and somehow get in  

Wonder if they would sell out in for the playoffs and keep the visitors out of their crib?  

I can’t believe I typed that last sentence.  

[Forecheck]

They will miss by 3 points

The Amerks, in a smaller city with a much smaller following, averaged 50% capacity in the regular season for a while now.  They sold out every playoff game.  This isn’t even a conversation.

The real question is how close will we let the rest of these loser teams get before we ***** their dreams away.

And I used a word which means to forcefully grab and SS took it as something profane.

i asked this in the other topic but i feel its more appropriate in this one 

So let me get this straight - since we have more wins than all of the teams we are chasing, if we win all 5 games and finish at 89 points and all of the other teams somehow finish at 89 points we will have the tie breaker over every team at 89 points and make it?
