bunomatic Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Good game tonight by the desert dogs. Still...10 losses in a row. That canucks team is flawed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koomkie Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I don't think we could have avoided the tank as long as Regier was in charge. He was awful. The team slowly declined under his watch until it was too late and Murray had to rip the band aid off as quick as possible. It hurts but only for a bit. I can't understand those who complain about the recent purge of talent. None of that "talent" was signed. Arizona better not choke away a point or two tonight. They had a lead and stopped playing...Hmmm.a thing of beauty. Great post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi2000 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Yotes were due. Still 7 of their next 8 at home... Need to lose at least 3 of those, while Buffalo goes on a winning streak here with a road heavy schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) One more loss and ties by Vancouver and Peg secures 15th place overall. Almost in the lottery! One more weak... er week of this garbage should secure 24 place, then it gets a little more difficult as the smell rises.

IKnowPhysics Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I made a table for the draft odds soes we can piss and moan about how much it blows to finish 29th: If we finish 29th instead of 30th, the chance of landing McEichel drops from 100% to 33.5%.

pi2000 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 BUF @ OTT BUF who began March with 3-0 victory over TB, look to improve to 2-0 on their current 4 game road swing. Ocho Cinco gets the nod between the pipes. Meanwhile, OTT has been putrid of late, going 2-7-1 over their past 10. They'll ride the ice cold Andrew Hammond who has been an absolute sieve, recording a 1.35 GAA and 0.957 SV% over his last 8 games. EDM @ CHI EDM 6-3-1 in their last 10, look to avoid a 2 game losing streak against CHI tonight at the madhouse on Madison. CHI 3-5-2 in their last 10 are looking ahead to their matchup on Sun vs the NYR. This is a trap game. I'd be shocked if EDM did not lose this game.

Great chart - Thanks! And you are right. Anyone complaining about tanking should write the NHL. What a stupid lottery system! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi2000 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) They should write the NHL and thank them. Because they're changing the system next year.All they're doing is making the first 3 lottery picks. Same odds tho if you finish last you could pick 4th. Comeback complete as the Sabres erase a two goal deficit to take a commanding 3-2 lead in the third. Edited March 7, 2015 by pi2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi2000 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 You do realize that's a gigantic change, right? It think it's worse than it is now. The last place team (or 2nd or 3rd last) could pick 4th? What justice is there in that? Let's say you finish in 4th, 3 teams behind you get the top 3 picks. Suddenly you're picking 7th. Fair? Hardly. I hate draft lottery systems because it means you have to get lucky to improve your team. They don't do it in football and it's worked fine for decades in the NHL.

Doohickie Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 It's their solution to prevent tanking: It simply won't guarantee one of the very top picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
