The Sabres are 24-11-5 since the game Derek Roy went down/ Christmas. Pretty amazing with their top line center down and out. Let's get the 4 point weekend we should've had last week boys! Sabres 3-1.

 

I do worry about our centers come playoff time. Sounds like Roy COULD return in the second round (optimistic).

 

Going into the playoffs though looking like 1. Connolly 2./3. Boyes/Hecht 4. Goose/McCormick

 

I don't love those centers against Philly or the Caps lineups.

I'm more concerned with Tampa losing enough and Canes winning enough to swap places and then Tampa bumps us out of 8th.

 

That scenario I'm sure is about .002% likely to happen but who knows. I think Buffalo would have to lose a bunch too.

Your premise being that Tampa sits in 1 of the 3 top of your division slots? Because they don't, Washington does. Tampa is theoretically 3 points away from getting a spot (92points) with 8 games (16pts) left. I think right now the sabres should be focused on catching the rangers who we have a game in hand on and are 2 points behind. We also play them on the 30th so if and only IF we won the next 3 games in a row, and i am saying won not unbeaten, that would give us 89pts and give us a 4pt game on the rangers effectively putting them between us and carolina who we play on the third. Whats this all mean? If we win 4 of our next 5 games, we could effectively lock up are playoff spot as long as the loss did not come against carolina or the rangers.

thanks spndchz. these are fantastic to have in pdf.

 

for those of you interested in seeing "the whole picture," as some of the articles have pictures that span both left and right pages, in acrobat reader (at least in version 9), click View > Page Display > Two-Up. Also, if you want to eliminate the gap between pages, click View > Page Display, and uncheck Show Gaps Between Pages. makes for a nicer view than the one-page option, IMHO.

Ill be there 318 front row!!!! Ill be the drunk guy being escorted out, oh idk sometime.in the 2nd : ) Devils played tough last night and even tho they are all but eliminated, sabs need to be careful, this is a classic trap game And after watching carolina last night I don't think were going to get much help there.....eyes on 7th tonight boys!!!!!

 

hahaha LOUD AND PROUD boss!

 

cheers to that :beer: :beer:

Mancari scratched, Hecht in.

 

Leo out Monty in.

 

Miler starts.

 

Well, two out of three are great news. Thank god Mancari is finally getting benched again. As much as I hate on Hecht sometimes, I'll take him over Mancari any day (besides his salary, but that doesn't matter at this point).

 

Leopold looked like he hurt his wrist crashing into the boards last night. I'm guessing that's what it is.

Did Leopold get hurt running into the net last night? I thought he had been playing well.

 

 

I don't think so. I spackulate that he lead TOI and Lindy wants fresh legs in there.

 

 

According to TBN it is injury related.

 

When Florida got the puck during our PP the guy (don't know name) was going to get in alone on Miller. Leopold caught up to him, slid, but ran into the net. His left hand was what took the net of its moorings. I'd say bruised, not broke. Prolly can't hold his stick too well.

Lol not my intention, I know what you were thinking with regards to the southeast division, I always wanna include Washington in with the Atlantic division and forget about the islanders... o well. but since you brought up divisions the sabres with a lot of luck could climb over montreal and knock boston down... that would be awesome. Boston loss makes this a slightly more possible scenario but the sabres would have to be scary good down the stretch here.
