  1. I honestly expected this team to be fighting for the last wildcard spot and playing meaningful games in March before falling short. 

    The way they are playing now my expectations have switched to getting one of the three Atlantic playoff spots and maybe a first round win at best. 

    Now at this point not making the playoffs would be a let down.

    It isn't about losing per say. Picture a Bell curve. Now in a standard bell you expect to see your variables fall within 95% of that curve, so the -2.5% and+2.5% are outliers. Picture a curve and cut off each end. Those you exclude in this. So what you do is find the mean, where the middle of that curve is. Then you basically figure out how far +/- away from that curve the 95% of your data could fall. So the - don't necessarily mean losing but just falling below the average in that curve. 

    Let's say your career sh% is that middle of the curve. You plot the 5-7 season long sh% and then you can calculate the variance and a confidence interval. The confidence interval tells you a range that 95% of the time that sh% should fall. This is a super shortened version and I'm sure I said something wrong but don't think of it as losing but just falling in that range as opposed to hitting your average. 

    If you take out this year from his shooting percentage he has a mean of 10.575 (average of averages) and a standard deviation of 2.29769. If you run a normal cdf with a shooting percentage of 20% or higher the odds are .00002 so that’s the right part of the bell curve. So his 20% is a severe outlier from his average. With that we only have 8 data points so it’s not really statistically valid argument do to lack of data points.

    I had Bandits season tickets in '96.  Those games were a blast!

    I had them from 96-00 and seeing them win the championship in 93 and I want to say 96 maybe. I also use to get free tickets when in high school bc my friend worked for one of the smoke shops on the Reservation that sponsored them. 

  4. I remember going to the Aud as a young little whippersnapper many a times. My dad had season tickets in the last row of the oranges behind the goalie. He also got them in the Marine Midlan arena. 

     

    The one game game that sticks out to me we were in the front row behind the goal judge. I played half the game next to the boards not really watching the game and the goal judge gave me a bunch of Sabres stickers. 

    I also remember a game where Rob Ray dropped his gloves I want to say three times and smashed his opponents. That day is when he became my favorite player. Later on I Hasek was my number 2 I started out thinking he was the luckiest goalie in the world do to his flopping around style, to him being the greatest goalie to play the game.

    I don't think he belongs.  Mostly because of the short career.

    Mogilny, OTOH, is the only 70+ goal scorer not in the HOF.

    I definitely agree with Mogilny. I was surprised when I found out Mogilny was not in the HoF a couple weeks ago with the career he had and what he did to get here and play. I was also a bit shocked that Martin was not in, his shooting % was something like 20%. I can’t say to much since I never seen him play I started watching in the early 90s. My dad would tell me stories about his slap shot.

    We have had threads discussing CoHo’s retirement and the reason for it in the past such as this one.

    What happened to Cody is heart breaking.  To imagine that he got as far as he did, his work ethic must be out of this world.  He deserves ever cent we paid him.

    I sent Rich Jureller, the President of the Sabres Foundation, an email requesting a night honoring CoHo and the work he is doing.

     

    I think it would be awesome if they did something like this and do the 50/50 raffle with half going to his charity or something like that.

    I don't know, Toronto needs an RHD, and I'm fast looking at Risto as the expendable one. His game has been sketchy for the better part of this early season, as well as last season as well. With both Pilut and Borgen looking decent in Rochester, I'd move Risto for the right piece.

    Would you do Risto + decent prospect say Aspulin (sp?) for Nylander 

  8. I was at a Sabres vs Toronto playoff in 313 late 90’s with my father (he took me to all playoff games and the finals games during the Hasek years at the HSBC).

    We were killing them and I think it was a game 4 sweep. Their were a bunch of fights all over the arena and the security was starting to kick out the Toronto fans for whatever they could to keep it under control. 

    The one Toronto fans behind us started getting rowdy so security  went up to get him and the group he was with so nothing would happen. The one guy went to run and a Sabres fan grabbed him so security could get him. The Toronto fan took a swing and all hell broke loose. The Toronto guy got smashed and a guy went up 10 rows to beat the shite out of him I still remember how the punch sounded like when he hit him. 

    The security kicked out the Toronto fans and the guy that went up 10 rows. The other 5-6 Sabres fans that hit the guy got to stay. 

    Is it bad that I kinda miss that kinda of stuff and that to me was the best rivalry.
