Done Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Well, if Washington gets on a bus to drive up to NY, and Philly gets on a bus to drive down to Carolina, and there's a lot of rain on 95..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovey1961 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 both philly and washington need to lose all their games in regulation and the sabres need to run the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffalOhio Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 What about Boston? Philly and Boston both have very difficult schedules coming up. It is possible. I don't think I can take any more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 hahahahahaha post of the day! Heres what needs to happen: BUF wins out. if they dont, they are done. the max number of pts we can get is 92. For BUF, the last 2 playoff spots are still up for grabs. Right now, BOS and PHI both have 91 pts and 40Ws. CAR and WAS have 42 and 41 Ws and 90pts. one of these teams will win the southeast division and make the playoffs. the other will fight for the final playoff spot. based on how their playing, i hope WAS wins out and CAR falls off the map. if either team gets 92 pts or more we cannot pass them since they will have more Ws and win the tiebreaks. We can still pass BOS. they have 91pts. they can still get 1 more point and we will have the tiebreak over them assuming we beat them in regulation on the final game. if BOS and BUF both end with 92pts, we will have the tie break over them. we will both finish with 92 pts. move on to the next tiebreak. we will both have 40W's. move on to the next tiebreak. in the season series, we would both have earned 10 pts in games against each other. move on to the next tiebreak GF-GA. BOS has a -7 goal differential while BUF has a +12 goal differential. we would have the tiebreak over BOS. We can still pass PHI. they have 91ts. they can still get 1 more point and we would have the tiebreak over them. if BUF and PHI finish w/ 92 pts, we would both have 40W's. move on to the next tiebreak. we earned more points in games against PHI, so we would have the tiebreak over PHI. If BOS, PHI and BUF all tie at 92 pts, we would have the 3-way tiebreak since we have the higher percentage of available points earned in games among these clubs, assuming we beat BOS in regulation. For tonight, root for PHI, BOS, and CAR to lose in regulation. Even if PHI, BOS and CAR each earn 1 point tonight, we could theoretically still pass them. We would be eliminated from the playoffs if both PHI and BOS win tonight. As long as both PHI and BOS dont earn 2 points tonight, we will be alive.

Mike Oxhurtz Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 We need to find out where the players from Philly, Washington and Boston eat at, put stuff in their food so it either gives them a bad case of diaherra (hope that's spelled right), or makes them throw up. Plus some Voodoo dolls will help. For us, everyone needs to wear some lucky (clothes, rally cap, etc...). Also, we need to carry something lucky (like a rabbitt's foot, 4 leaf clover, etc...) If we can do all of this then we have a chance. It would be great if we can make it, but it's too much to overcome. There's no way we're winning out, plus the other teams mentioned will get 2 points or more, thus eliminating us. Sorry, but I'm just being realistic. It sucks, I would like to have seen us make it to the playoffs, but it's not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Boston and Philadelphia are tied for seventh at 91 points and Washington pulled into a tie with Carolina at 90 with a 4-1 win Tuesday night. One of those two teams will win the Southeast Division to finish third, with the other in the battle for eighth. To have a chance, the Sabres must win Thursday at Montreal and Saturday at Boston to finish with 92. And they need help tonight ? if the Bruins win at New Jersey and the Flyers win at Pittsburgh, Buffalo is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington could lose 2/3 games, so we could still pass CAR and WSH if PHI and BOS win tonight. Only way we're done is if all 3 win tonight.

Only way we're done is if all 3 win tonight. Carolina and Washington could both lose every game they have left and one WILL be in the playoffs. Buffalo needs to pass 2 of 3 teams - Filly, Baahston, and SE #2 (either Canes OR Caps). If Filly and Baahston both win, Sabres can't move higher than 9th.

Yup, being the best of the worst (SE) will still get into the #3 spot, even if that team has a worse record than eight other teams. In other words, having the eighth best record is not enough to get us in, if none of the seven above us are from the SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpandean Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Pens did it in regulation. 3 back of Philly. Strange. Must have been typing faster than I was thinking. I watched the game, so I knew it ended in regulation, which is why I said the Flyers could could still have one OT loss. Not really sure where that first part came from.
