I would suggest there is no way we continue having that many serious injuries/issues piling up at the same time either over 82 games and that at some point those would balance out.

There is a lot of "acting" in the Sabres broadcast with Dunleavy the lead. A lot of messaging too. The questions they asked Benson for example. People in the organization read this forum and other social media, they see the complaints. Seems like the last few broadcasts tried to address some things.

Yep. As long as there is no ligament injury, it should be fine. 🤞

It’s almost like this is common knowledge throughout the league and that three goalies doesn’t work. It’s not Lindy keeping all three up.

What section are you sitting in? I should be in 102 if Stub hub comes though.

I knew someone who did that on a bike ride. He popped it back in himself, finished the ride, was a little sore the next day or two. Never saw a doctor for it.

I fear Lindy is messing up the crease situation badly. Suddenly Lyon is nowhere to be seen. UPL gets lucky the team lit up the opposition. Ellis wasn’t great against Calgary. Now they all have to be unsure of themselves. Need to trade UPL imo. 3 ga only seems fine cuz we got 9. It’s still 3 and that’s not good enough.

I plan on getting there right around 11.

If we get more healthy and a few other teams run into injury problems we can move up quickly. If you are in it anything can happen.

Yeah... I posted this about an hour ago but to get to the point percentage of the last playoff spot, they have to win six games in a row. Not five in a row, not five of the next seven... Doing that would still have them out of the playoffs. From right now they have to win six in a row just to get to the 8th and final spot.

Got em,excited to see see you boys tomorrow! What time is everyone getting to union?

So are we still going to buy him out?

A quick look at his numbers in Europe show a pretty definitive view of a goalie who is never good at any level. His save percentages are usually below .900 even in European leagues where those numbers are often inflated. Sometimes sports isn't overly complicated. He's done a poor job stopping the puck pretty much anywhere he goes. Meanwhile Ratzlaff has been great in Jacksonville, and he deserves a chance.

I think the better way to look at it--given everything-- is that they have not played themselves out of things before Thanksgiving. It would not take much of a hot streak to get in a playoff position. Now whether they remotely have the talent and mental fortitude to do that is the major question. I doubt it, but would love to be proven wrong.

I wrote in a thread before the season showing how fewer and fewer teams in the East were reaching 100 points. This year might be interesting in that more teams may get to 100 points but the highest point getter may not have 110. Sure it would be nice if the Sabres could string a 6 game win streak together but it is very unlikely to happen. 6 game win streaks are going to be hard to come by for any team. That is the nature of parity. What we can't do is have another losing streak. Look at Montreal. They have lost 5 in a row and 7 out of 8. They went from 1st in the division to out of the playoffs in a few weeks time. You will see this happen to other teams as well. It's happening to the Penguins who are 2 out of the last 8. The important thing will be beating the teams in the division and the conference. That's where the season will be won or lost.

I wish the Bills got Sean Payton when he was available.

I think PA had it right. Project 4 points out now to an 82 game schedule. We aren’t nearly as close as this thread suggests.

Tickets were transferred this morning. Please accept them as soon as you can so I know everyone is set. Thanks.

This is cool

I assume, the way his shoulder was hanging down, that it was a dislocation. The trainers reset it, shot him up with some cortisone and a pain killer, patting him on the ass and sent him on his way.

That would be a start, but they need to string together more than those two games if they want to show they’re for real. Unless several teams ahead of them go on epic losing streaks, a three game win streak won’t mean anything except reaffirm to Terry that Adams is on the right track.

Or you could look at the standings and say to get that last eighth spot in the conference, you need a .600 Or better point percentage. Starting today, what do the sabres need to do to get to that level so they could be the last team in the playoffs? It's a six-game winning streak. If they were to 'only' win the next five in a row that brings them to .577..... Which would still have them outside a playoff spot.

A 21 year old goalie who has played 6 games in North America. Perhaps it’s a bit too early for that write off?
