So the two worst teams in the league and we have 4pts on them... I'm pretty confident we finish last.

Arizona with one win makes it all but over. Hell even 2 OT losses for them and it's over.

Unless the Sabres finish 4-2. Which is highly unlikely.

Did you figure out the game?
- stashu

I did. Took me a while. I took over Arizona's franchise as well out of spite and took all their picks and maybe I traded Mesz and Beniot for OEL, Domi, Gormley and Duclaire.. lolol

Also got the real rosters. When I first installed it, I'm looking at these rosters like I would some soccer roster. Who the (frank) are these guys.

I wish you were able to sim to a certain week instead of having to sim every night. Becomes very intricate.

As much as I totally understand, what I've learned as a lifelong Buffalo fan is to be as optimistic as possible until the actual results appear. Because it's a real (frank)ing downer if ya don't.
- TheSabresTaco

I kind of take the opposite approach.... expect the worst and be pleasantly surprised when something good happens...

You can "Go on vacation" and set dates there, but be careful with the settings in that box because the computer can take over a lot of the GM duties if you do that

Looks like Byfuglieuwin will be hurting Winnipeg's already weak grasp on their playoff spot. What a dirty hit.

Its the NHL, so...

My lineup is gimpy enough. Limping to the finish line in 1st place by 2 points.

I've also noticed that I have an overabundance of injuries. Started the season with like 7 guys on 8 month IR. Like, what the (frank). I don't even have 4 forward lines.

TBL 7.3 rosters? I've started 3 different times and only have 3 on IR: Kane, Gorges and McCormick

Yeah. Ennis got a 7 month injury from training camp or something. I'm playing game 3 of the season now and I've got about 12 injuries. It's (frank)ing stupid.

Oh I know. I was just female doging about my fake hockey. Buff is out, Hedman is out, Giordano is out.. my D core has gotten slammed this year.

Personal vendettas over the success of the franchise you support.

Not a good trait.

Winning isn't the be all end all to some.
Much much much more important things in life than winning.
Can't get any more simple than that about this.

Murray and the way he went about this did nothing to help the way I feel about this.
There is a difference between being subtle and being embarrassing, Murray has been embarrassing.

I'll be starting at the Peace Bridge next Monday 7 days a week, 12 hour shifts until July 4th weekend when we have to suspend work for holiday travelers until October.

Anyone want to come and jump while I am working there, feel free but I won't be giving you my safety harness, you'll be on your own.

Smarty pants.....

- homiedclown

I know... I am an amateur compared to 89...

Same Schit different day, I see.

I tend to agree with you... How can any Sabres fan hope that the Sabres do not get one of the "franchise players" in this draft? I would question that fans motivation too...
- rapperray

When not winning is not the end of my life is how.
Like Roby just said probably 10 times to Simon and White on air, "integrity".
It's really not that difficult to wrap your head around that notion.
Not everyone is built the same, thankfully.
You may not like my thought process, but it is mine and I will never waver from it.
I am not saying y'all that are rooting for the tank are wrong in doing so.
That is your God given right.
What I am saying is that just because I can't get on board with this tanking thing certainly does not make this ever since the Sabres inception fan , any less of of a fan either.
With that said, really nothing else needs to be elaborated on further when it comes to this topic on my behalf.

How is it that by now you still don't understand that these were the cards Murray was dealt? He didn't start the tear down. Regier did. He just finished the job that had been started because it's not like he had any other choice.

He wasn't going to get the top UFA's to sign here. He wasn't going to get guys that have NTCs to waive to come here. The only way to dig this team out of the hole that Regier put them in was to build through the draft. Period.

They're paid to win just like you're paid to lay out a quality product. It's the end all be all.

Murray's embarrassing because he's rebuilding? Doesn't make sense in the slightest.

And who the (frank) says poop like that.

I see him at home routing for the tank when no one is looking. But holding his all mighty status when people are around.

- ImThatGuy

I find it ironic. Considering his union status. It's all for the higher good. And that higher good is ME.

Blast me all you want for that. I will say unions sometimes are good. But they are just as bad as the evil corporation too.
