Its nice to see the respect being dealt here but I rememeber they were #1 two years ago for the most part of the season concluding with the PC and we all know how that ended. I will be satisifed if they are in this position come late December or early January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frisky Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 No respect for the Goose though. They didn't list him as a key injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Glad to see that someone had the sense to put the Flyers in 30th, not 7th, which is where Bucky had them this week, one spot behind the Sabres. Not over Danny yet, I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightrider Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 It's pretty tough to put the Habs on top when we have identical records, and their loss was to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Wow. Well, the #1 is nice to see, but I don't put too much stock in these rankings. After all, the Sabres went up SIXTEEN places in this particular ranking, from 17 to 1, meaning the author was really wrong then, is really wrong now, or was/is pretty wrong both times. And that's just after a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I like TSN's rankings. They don't give a team credit for having been good. If a team was #4 but has been playing like crap for a whole week, they'll move them way down the list, maybe to #11. Not like other lists where they would say "well, they're playing awful this week, but they're still a good team", then move the to #6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROC Sabres Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Beginning of the season they had us ranked at 22 I think. That's a pretty big jump and I'd say even dangerously so. Hell, I think the Patriots are still ranked higher than the Bills in power rankings just cause they are the Pats. Oh well, at least they know enough to recognize that we are legit.

BetweenThePipes00 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Those rankings are done by their fantasy guy, which is why all through 05-06 and 06-07 we always complained, because there was so much balance no individuals stood out ... now Vanek starts off on a tear but 4 other guys are ice cold, and all of a sudden they are the best team in hockey. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonderbread Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 OV light, not as much body. No doubt. Last week I watched Caps vs. Pens. OV was a one man wrecking crew. he must have hit Malkin 7 times. A couple of hits would have made RJ howl Carruba Collision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cilevel Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 No doubt. Last week I watched Caps vs. Pens. OV was a one man wrecking crew. he must have hit Malkin 7 times. A couple of hits would have made RJ howl Carruba Collision. That is what I love about OV. The guy plays with enough passion for 5 of his teammates. As for Power Rankings, I look at them as a tiny snapshot. To have any meaning you have to see what the trend is for several weeks in such a long season.

Two or less Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 wow. I don't take much pride or even satisfaction in Power Rankings, however, when the chance comes, i do click on them on various web sites just to see where the national media would rank us. I don't put much stock into it. However, when this thread was started, i ignored it because in our 2 years when we went to the ECF, TSN was very rough on the Sabres in the polls. I expected to see the Sabres disrespected and placed at like 15th or something. So i clicked it and i was definitely surprised. But like i said, it doesn't mean anything, but it is nice to see for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Wings Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 A wise man once said "Polls are nice, but so are ceramic dalmatians". I think this applies to power rankings, too. That said......wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like on Sportsnet, Tampa Bay is at the bottom. Not looking good, Tom Webster. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
