  1. I'm not saying I'm not concerned about the Sabres blowing their shot at "McEichel", but the talk of it has heated up around the NHL since the trade deadline. Yet, Buffalo continues to find a way to maintain number 30. The Sabres gave up 52 shots to Carolina. W/ as well as Columbus has been playing they'll probably finish w/ 40+. Lindback will have difficulty matching the level of play he delivered against the Hurricanes. Buffalo may have difficulty reaching their season average of 24. The Blue Jackets are on fire. Columbus will score 4. It will be tough for the Sabres to match that. Honestly see a 4-2 final w/ the Blue Jackets taking the win. That's a real win....not a loss. But hey, let's hope Zona wins tonight it and ends the torture Sabres fans have had to endure the last 2 seasons. 

  2. Vancouver clinched a playoff spot last night and aren't catching Anaheim.  I believe that means that they will play Calgary either way, so they are only playing for home ice. 

     

    Anaheim has their division locked up, can't catch the Rangers for the PT and might lock up second in the league tonight against Dallas.

     

    Columbus is playing lights out and Friday will be the home finale (fan appreciation night.)

     

    Pittsburgh will likely still have a lot to play for Saturday.

     

    I'll never feel confident until it's done, but after watching the 'Yotes last night and seeing how the above scenarios have worked out, I'm feeling a little better. 

     

    Still want this done before Saturday for both the fans and the players.  I really hope that if tomorrow night doesn't work out, Ted either reconsiders starting Lindback Friday on his own or with a little push from above.

     

    Bingo. Columbus has been red hot, their arena will be packed and they'll play hard for the fans. Plus, their season record can be deceiving. Columbus had a bad case of the injury bug this year and it ruined their chances of being a playoff team. Many felt the Blue Jackets roster was good enough to get in before the season started. The Bluejackets are far better than the Sabres, and I just don't see Lindback playing as well has he did against Carolina. Wish Makarov would get the start....

  3. I hate to say it but this is not looking good.  Zona will likely lose 3.  Ottawa probably loses the next two and Penguins will be up by 3 by the time we get to Saturday and they will have played the night before and they will take off the game against us.  I think it all comes down to Columbus....please Columbus kick our rears.  I don't even know if Columbus really needs any points against us.  It wouldn't be Buffalo if hopes didn't get dashed at the very last second or by a matter of inches.  I know I am a pessimist but I think there is a 50-50 shot this plays out.

     

    Pittsburgh has two things to be concerned about. One, making the playoffs. Ottawa has been playing well as of late. Sure, they're two points back, but games have to be played. Anything can happen. Two, if the Penguins enter Buffalo w/ a playoff spot locked up, they will be playing for playoff position. Pittsburgh and Boston are tied at 95. The team that finishes eighth will have to play the Rangers in the first round. Second seed is Montreal. I'm sure the Penguins will do what it takes to play the Canadians. Pittsburgh will go for the win against Buffalo. 

  4. It's a shame this place is becoming unreadable like tsw. Hopefully it's just due to the negative effects of the tank, and things get better after the season ends

    Murphy's Law, eh? Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. This board is fine. Has had to deal w/ a great deal of "suffering" since the Miller hit. The ship is being righted. Let's go w/ GoPre's Law. Anything that can go right, will go right.
