This is the Carrion league, I have to assume you mean that it's "+" 4 in favor of the Sabres?
Anyone else see "Little Big Man"?
Younger Bear was a contrary, or a brave who did / said everything backward ....
What a film!

Arizona will garner three, or less, outside of our head to head games. Buffalo, six or more. Two regulation losses to the Yotes, for us, or it's hope for the magic ping pong ball. NHL speak, of course.
One down.

I hate this post, if only because I see the last 10 games unfolding the exact same way. If the Sabres want 30th, they'll need to completely collapse against Arizona and we aren't playing nearly as poorly as they are.
I HATE my post, too!

To NS:
My friend. I hope your roof is strong. I would expect nothing but anti-tank from you.
Can you imagine pre game phone calls from the league to Buffalo and Arizona? "The whole world is watching."
I have an image in my mind's eye of Darcy pouring himself a scotch, at 1 am on March 31, alone in his den at home. With his suit still on and his tie undone, he smiles wryly.
Revenge is best served cold.

Forgive me for speaking NHL.
Whatever your ethical person / Sabre fan stance is, we now find ourselves ten games away from a generational talent or a generational 1a talent. May your sons and daughters never endure the path we've traveled. Never again.
I have resigned myself to the outcome we all know as horrific in light of what it's cost to be here. That is, we will be relying on probability distributions, sampling without replacement, and dumb luck all as the result of a 29th place finish.
Arizona's got this and our only hope is giving ground head to head. Nothing short of Arizona taking 3 of 4, or 4 of 6, in our head to head games will keep them in front of us. I don't think Arizona at 2 of 4 or 3 of 5 is enough for Buffalo to avoid catching the Yotes.
I've looked at the eight games outside of our head to head. If Arizona takes 3 points, I'll be very surprised. If it's not three, it'll be less.
Buffalo, on the other hand, will pluck, grind, defy-Corsi, no-possession time itself to 6 points. Look at the schedule; Toronto, Columbus, Carolina, and Colorado are all lined up. If it's not 6, it'll be more.
Arizona's three point lead is gone when I assess likely outcomes and gut feelings. I see Buffalo more likely to erase the deficit and pass Arizona outside of the head to heads. Splitting the series won't do. Arizona needs to win two, with at least one in regulation, during our head to head. Frankly, they may need to win two in regulation.
Anybody see that happening?

It's' getting out of control. From this angle, it doesn't even look like a mistake:http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/2015/3/21/8271401/coyotes-goalie-shoots-puck-off-penguins-players-butt-into-his-own-net
Get the film to Irbe. Our goaltenders will be scoring shart-tricks!

I did the same thing with identical twins in college ...

I think Ron Duguay is wearing one of Hugh Heffner's robes.

"He gazed up at the enormous scoreboard. Two and a half years it had taken him to learn what kind of joy was hidden beneath the dark score. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two Labatt Blue-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved The Tank."
…just waiting for the bullet.
This is why I come here ....

This game used be a huge event for the Sick family. Not anymore.
I am trying like hell to become a Lightning fan down here but what is in your blood is in your blood.
I could have written this word for word. I love hockey. I like the Lightning. The Sabres have been inside me since October, 1970.

I dabble, good friend. Credibility is a long way off. I want to visit, to touch, to hear, to smell, to taste. BRB, googling Gorky.

Nikolai Gogol, Dead Souls, caps, barter, value. GoDD, Yuri, this thread. Synthesis.
-
Now I know why we see so many number 2 goalies. Break up the Sabres!
-
Interesting link. Richie Dunn and Tyler Myers have nearly identical point stats. Pass the chips ...
-
Should the Sabres pull this off, and claim the CHL crown, to whom shall we award the sHart Memorial Trophy? Now there's a poll.
Is Andre Benoit an early favorite?
FTR, I am admittedly wishy washy on the tank. I've found myself soundly in both the pro and anti tank ranks. More often than not, though, I find myself limp and crying imagining the sound of "And with the 9th over all pick, the Buffalo Sabres select ....".

If Marone's skin was as thick as Tank's, he'd still be coaching in Buffalo ... the kid is unperturbed. Post on, post on.

Favorite: Ray
Best: Grigorenko

Dom. I'd include him in a greatest player at any position conversation. Trophies, awards, Gold Medals, Cups, highlight reals, carried a team for years, changed the position, you name it. Quirky bastard, too.
Personal highlights: 72 save shutout in the playoffs (I attended; made Dave Hannan famous); stoning Lemiuex from the slot, alone, with time (Lemiuex looked to the rafters as the whistle blew).

"and where there's a Gil, there's a waaAAayyyy".
Favorite. "the heroes of your youth are the heroes of your life ..."
My vote for best would be different. I believe there's another thread for that, and I'll look ....
My favorite honorables: Dudley, Spencer, Gare, Playfair, Ramsey, Luce/Ramsey, Crozier, May, Foligno Sr., McGuire, Howerchuck ... and last, but not least, Robbie Ray.
A gracious thank you to Dudacek for the idea and effort.

Very cool. I am old enough to remember those games, and have been lurking here long enough to get the references! Great effort, 11. A gift to us, and I'm grateful.

Who said I am trying to make ut a rule? Given my choice i bypass the guy that has to spend 2 years in juniors. Player rankings go out the window the day after the draft anyhow. Again, just look at Girgs and Grigs for further proof.
I follow. A consideration, ceteris paribus.

I'll log in for this one. I'm in.
I've got an ol' mule, her name is Sal .....

My mom flew, mid seventies, on a commercial flight with the Sabres. She said, amazed, "they all smoked".
I remember going to a practice during the playoffs, 1975 ish, and talking to Brian Spencer in the parking lot. He brought us in to watch. The practice was closed during the playoffs. We were standing in the hallway watching the players arrive and go into the locker room. I heard a voice singing The Platters "Only You". The singer rounded the corner. It was Gil. He was with Larry Mickey and a third player I don't remember. Perreault and Mickey were smoking. I was shocked. What a day, though. Jerry Korab taunted Perreault throughout the practice. "Come on, Superstar." Everyone skated by Gary Bromley and jabbed him with sticks, poked at his skates, tugged his jersey, etc.
