  1. Yup. And overall we have more road games remaining than them and Edmonton. We're still the worst possession team by a country mile. Neuvirth is much more likely to be 903 the rest of the way than 950. Everything other than Buffalo fan paranoia favors us winning the Shart.

    Favors, yes. It sure would be nice to have more of an inevitable feeling to it about now. I've gotta admit if I tried to pass a penny it would come out as copper wire right about now.

  2. They do it by computerized RNG, I believe, and it is observed by some accountancy firm, as if that lends value to anything. It's not exactly like providing an audited financial statement to a prospective lender, you know?

     

    I believe they still use ping pong balls. Quick google gave me this from 2006 which I believe is how they still do it:

    Fourteen balls, numbered 1 to 14, were placed in a lottery machine. The machine expelled four balls, forming a series of numbers. The four-digit series resulting from the expulsion of the balls was matched against a probability chart that divided the possible combinations among the 14 participating clubs. The chart showed that the Blues had been assigned the numbers (11-14-13-1) that were expelled.
  3. We look at this team and see losses and sad play, etc.

     

    It may turn around.

     

    For what it's worth, the Sabres have played the following teams with the following records:

     

    Anaheim (2x) - 6-1 (Tied 1st in the NHL) - w/ Montreal and Nashville (no kidding!)

    Los Angeles - 5-1-1 (Tied 4th in the NHL) - w/ Calgary (no kidding!)

    Chicago - 4-1-1 (8th in the NHL)

    Boston - 4-5 (Tied 11th in the NHL)

    Columbus - 4-2 (Tied 11th in the NHL)

    Florida - 2-2 (22nd in the league)

    Carolina - 0-4-2 (Tied for 29th with the Sabres)

     

    Perhaps things will improve when they play the middle of the pack. They still look completely outmatched against the top teams in the league.

     

    They are still lost out there. They sure as hell aren't moving. I've never seen a team stand still as much as they do, in every zone.

     

    They aren't supposed to beat teams like Anaheim or LA or Chicago.

     

    They do look bad, and they should against those teams.

     

    Perhaps the Sabres look bad because they've played teams with those records. Or perhaps those teams have those records because they've played the Sabres. The world may never know.

  4. Zero ###### given is "supposed" to mean "I don't care what you think of my actions - I'm being me" (not "I don't care about this particular thing").

     

    Not a fan of tampon commercials

     

    They should be called tamp-ins. Who's with me?
