smj Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I still don't know why we are debating the tank. It is too late now. I believe a conscious, planned tank is much, much better than a slow, unconscious slide to the bottom. The slow slide is truly hard to come out of because the front office is in denial and doesn't understand what needs to be done. Regier is the one who "tanked" this team by mismanaging it for years. We MUST let Murray complete the job and get McEichel. Is it guaranteed to work? Of course not. But the odds of a rise to the top are much better with McEichel than without. If Darcy were still here we'd be foolishly trying to come in 25th and lying to ourselves that we just had an off year with a lot of injuries. As an aside, we may have to lose every game here on out. Tell me Edmonton isn't tanking - they are up 3-0 and then give up 7 goals in half a game? Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 The Yotes host Nashville tonight in what may be a perfect CHL storm. Nashville's won 6 straight, and Arizona has been playing decent lately. Edmonton meanwhile heads to Detroit, both teams coming off Sunday wins away from home.

Randall Flagg Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 The shift that lead to the Nashville goal was some of the most pathetic hockey i've seen in my life, and I'm struggling to remember a time this year when the sabres looked that bad. Drawing a blank. We lose (CHL win) in Toronto Wednesday, and it's 7 points behind the Yotes with 15 games left. Edmonton continuing to scare me (a win puts us 2 behind them) but their schedule gets a lot easier after their next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi2000 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 15 games left after tomorrow, let's look at the next 5 for the top 3. ARI: CHI, NJD, @LAK, COL, PIT 4 home games, could pickup NHL points against NJD and COL. EDM: @PIT, @CBJ, TOR, CBJ, PHI Could pickup NHL points vs TOR, CBJ and PHI. BUF: @TOR, NYR, WSH, @BOS, NJD Possible NHL points vs TOR and NJD. Might not gain any ground on ARI, however EDM has some softies on home ice. .

CBJ and CAR are 20 points out. Is it safe to remove them? CAR plays 9 of their next 11 on home ice, two of those 11 vs CBJ. CBJ with only 3 of their next 10 at home, I expect them to blow by CAR in the standings here over the next 2-3 weeks. What a great season, things still tight at the top heading into the final stretch... great for the league and the fans. Bad for my hairline.

We could, but a few people here liked the idea of following a Septic Six down the back stretch, so we ran w/ it. The bottom 3 are only on pace for 91-93 points, so they'd have to have an extraordinary run of the runs to challenge and should realistically be all but eliminated by weeks end though they won't be gone mathematically for another week or so after that.
