Get Anderson out of there...my God I can't believe we were sibjected to this goaltending almost the whole year before Levi...

Those Mittelstadt suck people are going to be really quiet after he just won a board battle, was strong enough to pull away from the defender who was trying to hold onto him, made him fall down, then made a great pass to Joker for the goal...

How the hell is that interference??

It's pretty remarkable with how many young players have already been added to the lineup from the prospect pool that it is still almost universally regarded as top 5 or 6 in the NHL STILL in terms of prospects in the pipeline.

At some point they just become too good and it isn't pressure when you are housing teams every night.

Get those squats in.

it would be a 2nd round pick, not a 3rd. Huh? So it wouldn't sound like a GM to think they might be able to get a better player with a 2nd round pick than what they think he might develop into? Why wouldn't they have those conversations? Seems strange they are having them now instead of already having had them tho.

Not really. This same team with Levi has 105 points

This time next year we will be talking about who our first round opponent will be as we will have been in a playoff spot comfortably for weeks.

It's over...good attempt but they left too many points on the ice over the course of the year.

The party is over it looks like

Did not know this...the different rules they have in place for all the leagues is crazy. They really should simplify it and make it standard for all of them to as much a degree as possible.

Because it burns a year of his ELC and gets him 1 year closer to being an RFA and 1 year closer to being a UFA after that.

Gotcha...thanks for the clarification. It seems weird the first tiebreaker isn't head to head record.

No they have 87 points and 3 games left which means they can get 6 points if they win all the games. 87+6=?

I say a little prayer for you... Sabres will need at least 5 out of 6 points to get in even if the Isles and Pens both lose out. They lose all tie breakers so the only way they get in is to have at least 1 more point.

Yeah I was watching it too, I always watch the opponent feed cause ours is so bad in comparison. They said we are a team that is coming on strong and next year is likely going to make some noise.

We don't have the tiebreaker on the Isles...Isles have 35 regulation wins, Sabres only have 29. Even if they were to win all 3 games left in regulation they could only get to a max of 32. Sabres will need to have one more point than the 2nd wildcard team currently does because they are going to lose our on tiebreakers to all of the possible teams(FLO, NYI, PIT)

Well the Sabres made good on my prediction that they would finish somewhere in the 87-90 point range and just miss the playoffs but be in the hunt until the last week or two of the year...now I would be really happy if they made that prediction wrong by finishing with 93 points and making the playoffs

Levi making very good shootout players look inept because he gave them nowhere to go...

If the Sabres played them in a playoff series I would probably take the Sabres.

Levi!!! And look @Contempt...another example of how bad Mitts sucks!! 2 in the same game...
