You're ruining the good name of this thread! Yep, no peeking and then altering your prognostications allowed. Liger's on the books for 89pts. Still, only a select few of us had the balls to lay it out there before the real bullets started flying. :nana: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) I take whatever just happened and extrapolate. We lost last night so we're going 0-82. Girgs scores 82 goals. No one else scores. Edited October 3, 2013 by PromoTheRobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Leino will get hurt in every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 If this were the price is right then 11, Sickinfla and ROCBuffalo are the only people that would have a shot. Sabres can only possibly get 78 points right now which leaves everybody but those three out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude_Verret Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Not surprisingly it seems like most people had the Sabres as yet again, a bubble playoff team. What one piece of information, if you had it at the start of the season, would have made you correctly prognosticate the epic tank that were are witnessing? For me it would be knowing that John Scott would be getting a regular shift on defense in a bunch of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it would be knowing that John Scott would be getting a regular shift on defense in a bunch of games. I didn't make a prediction in this thread before the season but if I did I would've confidently stated that they would be fighting for last place in the league. I would've predicted more like 70 points, but I wouldn't have been using that "playoffs" word. As far as a piece of information: knowing that Rolston wouldn't be the coach by the new year would be enough to know.

TrueBlueGED Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Some wild stuff in here. Eek. What's worse, my Washington in the Cup prediction or Freeman's Sabres in 7th? Not surprisingly it seems like most people had the Sabres as yet again, a bubble playoff team. What one piece of information, if you had it at the start of the season, would have made you correctly prognosticate the epic tank that were are witnessing?

Claude_Verret Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I'll agree on Vanek if you only knew he would be gone so early, but not if you also knew the return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattPie Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Sabres finish 11th in the EC, with 81 points Vanek: 33 Leino: 65 Miller/Vanek: Both sign with Sabres Cup: Sharks/Bruins, Bruins in 5. Randoms: Scott fights 8 times, wins 6. Kaleta plays more than 60 games. 5 lost due to suspension. Stafford scores more than 20 goals, still traded at deadline for mid-first round pick. Josie914 ostracized when she decides to root for Detroit. No fights in the first Toronto game. Three in the second game. Sabres only win one game against Philly, so I have to hear about the rest at work. Ugh. I'd be happy if Leino had 65 shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I'll agree on Vanek if you only knew he would be gone so early, but not if you also knew the return. Regardless of return (and it was a nice return), the event itself of trading a captain so early in the season was a signal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyldnwoody44 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 I didn't even begin to predict what was going to happen this season... I wish I did, but this is fun looking back at what we saw pre tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) So who wants to guess how many points we actually end up with? Currently at 46 with 14 games to go. Somewhere in between 46-74. I'll say it ends up at 57 points. Edited March 17, 2014 by Tankalicious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
