  1. Probably. Seems easier to just get a few too many men penalties or hooking calls. Perhaps you try a little less hard to chase down that breakaway etc.

     

    That said, players don't tank. They might try less hard (why wouldn't you? why kill yourself for nothing), but they won't try and lose

    what if some young player in there for the sabres tries to be a hero and takes a slapshot with a few seconds left to tie the game and ruin the tank??(in the heat of action some pro sports players----GB TE-----do some awfully dumb things)

    or even what if there are a few minutes left and the sabes are leading....strict 'don't shoot' orders from ted??

    lets hope it doesn't come down to this....-could get weird.

  2. Last game of the season. Sabres need a win to clinch McEichel. ...And they are either 1) playing against a team that needs the win or tie.OR--2) they are tied with the some other team in the 3rd.Time running out.

     

    Would /could the league take action against the sabres if they accidentally put one in their own net?

  3. oh he'll only be 27 this season...I though he was older. this trade was about even. I was concerned that kiko was looking a bit small in 2013 even though he was a playmaker 1st half.

    Freddie is too old to carry the load and those other guys we got are journeymen. maybe we should keep cj though. His market value just went down.

  4. I am doing serious academic survey to benefit humankind.  Please answer questions, if you will.

     

    (please quote following questions)

     

    When did you, if ever, make definite choice to cheer for losing?  

     

    Did you make definite choice to cheer for loss?

     

    Why did you decide to cheer for losing, rather than just be indifferent for time being?

     

    Did you ever become an active participant in hoping for losses?

     

    What prompted you to become an active participant in hoping for losses?

     

    How did hoping for loss effect your life?

     

    Would you do it again?

     

    putin is sabres fan

  5. Who cares--he's not a Buffalo Bill!  This should be a day of celebration, not questioning.

    right on--buffalo is better off struggling with a real prospect(not EJ) vs being the predictable 8-8 or 9-7 with a horribly frustrating journeyman.

    and don't anyone mention Jay looksandactsandperformslikehesonheavydrugs Cutler. I would give it 4-5 weeks before that turned into a disaster.

  6. Another angle to all of this is that if Buffalo ends up getting the 2nd or 3rd pick, they have the assets to move up if they feel the need. It would have to be a lot, but looking at the needs in ARI and EDM, they might be willing to move down if the return is significant. Think picks plus D prospects plus others.... Assets the Sabres have that EDM and ARI don't. So in my mind it's not over until the draft actually happens.

    if we get the 2nd pick there is no moving up. no one is giving up McDavid.If we get the 3rd pick.....there is a microscopic chance of someone giving up eichel.
  7. anyhow, them oilers and esp zona are really playing for keeps now. this could get uglier and embarrassing....

    So will we be picking "first" or "last."  Where does irony end?

     

    What say we trade our draft pick for entire Stanley Cup winning hockey team?

     

    Since we are envy of entire NHL, it might make for a difficult decision. 

     

    We may even finagle pick for trophy, 2015.  

     

    Parade now?

    its been 8 yrs since the sabres have been this interesting.

  8. Edmonton is playing well so I don't think they are the worry but Arizona really looks bad and the Sabres play them twice at the end of March.  We better not sweep those!  One thing that might save us from passing Arizona is that they play 12 out of their final 19 games at home where they have a few wins.  So lets hope Arizona like home-cookin' this month.

    for the right price I will volunteer to play goalie for those 2 contests

  9. I would not want to go through what Detroit went through to appease the hockey gods.  Detroit was mediocre to lousy for a decade.  

     

    Wait........  Nevermind.

     are you saying that they made a deal with the devil? that they sacrificed the city of Detroit...crime,ghettos,bankruptcy,human misery...for hockey greatness?
