Well before his time in Ottawa

Was thinking 1-0 shoot out
- cabin

those games are going to be horrid.. if we do win, it better be in OT

Have they drafted an "Alex" Since?

Top 5 picks from Ottawa from 92-96

92 - Yashin (2nd overall)
93 - Daigle (1st overall)
94 - Bonk (3rd overall)
95 - Berard (1st overall)
96 - Phillips (1st overall)



- ImThatGuy

Daigle and Bonk are the only guy's there.

Berard was on his way to being a very good offensive d-man when the eye injury happened.

Two shootouts works no matter which way they go.

I think the Stars and Avs this week both needing to win every game to stay alive helps the Sabres. If they could somehow lose both games to the Yotes that would pretty much be it. I expect a split.

Let's say Arizona wins both matches.

If that happens, Sabres need to lose an additional 5 games to clinch 30th.

0-2 = 8 point swing (2 sabres losses, 2 coyotes wins)

10 all purpose points remain

Sabres must get 6 points or less in the remaining 8 games to clinch 30th in this scenario.

Murray should be fired for telling the Sens to draft those two.

If the Yotes win both in regulation that's 7 points ahead. Sabres would need to pick up 8 points in the other 9 games while Arizona loses out. That seems unlikely.

I'll be on the Tim Howard bandwagon for the next 25 years. That guy could stop a tank armada. He could probably even stop Tim Murray.
- TheSabresTaco

He's been surprisingly awful this year. Granted Everton are giving up far more chances than usual but he looks like he's nearing the end of his european career. Wouldn't surprise me if he made the move to the MLS.

Those two games are going to be something else.

Eh. I wouldn't know.

They will make a documentary about all of this one day. I look forward to watching it.

While I'm renaming stuff I think the games with the Yotes should be outdoors. We could call them the Sh!tner Classic.

Lehtonen is coming off shutout of CHI. He's first off and will start vs. #Sabres. Enroth still out there working.

No backups today. Lindy must be tightening up the system.

Two shootouts works no matter which way they go.
- Pierceme69

I don't see it that way. AZ might not get another point all year and it wouldn't surprise me if we took 4 pts in the other games. We need AZ to win one of the games in regulation and at least get to OT in the other game.

This is an abandoned railroad bridge near my house that I'll be jumping off if BUF wins the 2 ARI games. I'll be going head first to make sure I get the job done.

I think we'll win the HOME game in Buffalo and Lose the Arizona game on the road. Which will leave us with 3pts of bull crap Ted Nolan to find a way to get those pts, I really thought Arizona would have fallen on a pt or two by now, this is disgusting!

I hate this year!

P.S. I really think people have forgotten or underestimate SAMSON REINHART!

I watched him LEAD team CANADA with McDavid under him, and people are saying that they don't know whether SAMSON will be a quality 1st line Centerman????

He isn't CROSBY, McDAVID or Echel but he is VERY, VERY GOOD and will probably become an ELITE Centermen in the NHL with average 25goals55Assists Per year!

The problem is that in order to be a championship team in this league, you need two very good to great centers, and one of them has to be even better than Reinhart projects to be. It simply takes at least that much in today's league.

Let's say Arizona wins both matches.

If that happens, Sabres need to lose an additional 5 games to clinch 30th.

I think if we can split then it'll end up working out ok for us

IM tired of the "one player doesn't make a team" argument as well.

Crosby absolutely makes Pittsburgh what it is.

Put Crosby on any other team, and that team is what Pittsburgh is now.

That is what McDavid is rumored to be.

Feels like it's time for this:

OK done for today.
