"Its another Playoff game tonight against a desperaye team (Islanders)", Gerbe told me today after the skate.
Did he really say this?

lisp-

Based on what I'm reading, anything beyond #10 is a crapshoot-
- Purple Eagle

That's really not any different from any other year.

Your upcoming games...

Vs Islanders, Vs Boston.

Then. The vicious road trip starts: @NY Rangers, @Anaheim, @San Jose, @Vancouver, @Winnipeg.

You need a 15-3-5 record from today to April 8th to hit the necessary 92 points.

Your last 5 games of the season are VsPittsburgh, @Leafs, VsLeafs, @Philly and @Boston.

There's also a chance you won't have a couple character players like Roy and Gaustad after the deadline.

Call me a troll all you want but I've been where you are. Its not about being "5 points back after tonight" Its about looking at the big picture.

The big picture sucks for Sabres fans.

Going to the game March 31st though, looking forward to a beauty game!

we better win, i want to see playoff hockey. i'm not giving up hope until the last game of the season.

Sabres win + Leafs loss to Devils + Jets loss to Flyers= 5 point gap on Toronto.
For good measure, it would be nice of the Ducks to beat the Bolts.

how can people doubt our playoff chances when all we need is all these things to happen every night?

Only a handful of fans actually have hope for the playoffs at this point. We all know the team is dead. Its the least likable group of players in a long long time.

The big picture sucks? Not in my eyes. They are on their way to the easiest way to acquire a #1 center. Draft in the top 5.

jeremy white mentioned that today...got a link to share?

- LizzyJo

don't give up the hop

weber has a lot of potential..but ur right...he's sloppy...i really think an extended stint on a line with regher would do wonders with his game...yes ikn regher isn't playin the best right now...but being on a line with a veteran who plays a similar style of game could rly help him improve his own
- feetontheair22

I use to see the potential but he's been a disaster. If he were a offensive d-man you could potentially tolerate a few turnovers and ill advised plays but he is suppose to be a defensive d-man yet he's second worst in +/- while only playing in 33 games.

this is a unique opportunity to bite the bullet as an organization to get there...it's also a unique opportunity to land a real good return if they're willing to give up goose, roy and leo

'post peca' to lockout teams weren't that long ago.

Yep.


Retool not rebuild.


They pick up an extra 1st and they can use it to get Stastny(if they target him) and draft Galchenyuk.

GM for the day?

I mentioned this a week or so ago but has anyone else heard that the owners are trying to get a one time buy-out clause in the next CBA, where you can flat out cut a guy and it does not count against your cap, and there is no penalty.

It would be a one time deal. I can see that helping the sabres (Leino) and other teams as well.

Maybe they can even sucker someone into taking Stafford .....

They had that right after the CBA was signed. It was a one time offer and it had to be done by a certain date. There were several players bought out and it didn't count against the cap.

I hope it happens again. With the cap going down we need all the space for Darcy to overpay for another guy.
