I am particularly cursed, because I became obsessed with the Sabres during Hasek's era in the 90s. I remember my father and my brother telling me "don't get your hopes up, they're going to lose in the first round" ... "don't get your hopes up, there's no way they beat the [Flyers, etc.] this series" ...and they kept winning! Now I expect the unrealistic. And here I am.

To still make the playoffs TODAY
erickompositör72 replied to erickompositör72's topic in The Aud Club
Another road to the playoffs: If we win 1 more game, and then play .500 hockey the rest of the season, we'll be at 82 points If we can somehow get 11 loser points in all of our losses, we'll be in. Or: Win 2 more games above .500, 9 more loser points Win 3 more games above .500, 7 more loser points Win 4 more games above .500, 5 more loser points etc. etc. What's working against us is we're running out of games, and we'll have to have an unusually high OTL/L ratio -

To still make the playoffs TODAY
erickompositör72 replied to erickompositör72's topic in The Aud Club
Someone who's better at math than me can determine if going 2W + 1L every 3 games gets them in. Probably would need some OTL's in there? -
Thread for OCD types who don't like reality. Let me know if I did my math right (as of BEFORE their 2.19 Ducks game), assuming 93pts makes the playoffs: 28 games remaining, 41 more pts. needed 18 games at ".500," with at least 4 being overtime losses [+22pts] 9 game winning streak, divided how you'd like (three 3-game winning streaks; one 4-game winning streak + one 5-game winning streak; etc.) [+18pts] 1 more OT loss [+1pt]

Opinions Wanted: Controversy in a mens hockey league
erickompositör72 replied to Quint's topic in The Aud Club
I play in a beer league (mostly 30/40/50yr olds), and there are plenty of female players. If anything, I see them get less sympathy from the refs than the men (they get pushed around and penalties not called, when it would get called against a male player). While that last bit is anecdotal, the female players don't ask for any special treatment. The female players on my team have been some of the best skaters I've played with. I think the idea of not allowing a female to play with men based on gender (in a recreational/"beer" league), is absolutely ludicrous, backwards, and not excusable in any culture deeming itself "modern" -
Eric Comrie called up, Devon Levi sent down
erickompositör72 replied to inkman's topic in The Aud Club
IMO, this move only became the "right" move when UPL (and the Sabres defensive structure) proved it could provide adequate NHL goal prevention. IMO, this is symptomatic Adams and DG "learning on the job." They may have thrown away an entire season doing so. With that said, I hope they call Levi back up for back-to-backs, or if UPL needs a rest. Unless some think Comrie is better than we think, and the improved Sabres defensive structure could support him? -
My take: If we had this tandem (Levi - UPL) last year, we would have made the playoffs Goaltending hasn't been great, but I don't think it's the source of our woes...
